  1. Flipped
    Worse, he (Reiner) vacuum-seals it all in a patronizingly wholesome package, like an extended episode of "The Wonder Years" with all the wonder sucked out.
  2. Middle Men
    This cranked-up drama wants it both ways.
  3. The Disappearance of Alice Creed
    A brutally monotonous thriller.
  4. The Wildest Dream
    The voices of Liam Neeson -- as the film's narrator -- and his late wife, Richardson, inevitably add to the project's poignance.
  5. Twelve
    Twelve ogles the lost boys and girls as they make their mistakes. But unlike the novel, the movie never really gets inside these kids, who aren't in the least all right.
  6. Lebanon
    It took writer-director Samuel ''Shmulik'' Maoz nearly 30 years to make this disturbing, visceral, personal film.
  7. Dinner for Schmucks
    No schmucks were harmed in the making of Dinner for Schmucks. That's the problem.
  8. Charlie St. Cloud
    The surreal thing is, Zac Efron can't do despair.
  9. Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
    No movie -- whether aimed at adults or kids or canines themselves -- has the right to be as tiresome and unoriginal as this action-comedy mutt.
  10. The Concert
    The crowd-pleasing comic Euro-drama The Concert is, at its musical center, as full of ripe emotion as Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major. It's also as darkly funny as a Slavic farce, a composition of sweet cacophony.
  11. The Extra Man
    What feels enjoyably outré in the 1998 coming-of-age novel by Jonathan Ames (creator of HBO's Bored to Death) feels oppressively outré in this deadened, literal adaptation.
  12. Get Low
    Duvall's acting turns magical: scary, touching, and full of grace. But Get Low, as directed by Aaron Schneider, forces you to sit through a lot of poky setup to reach that touching epiphany.
  13. Who Killed Nancy?
    The film offers evidence that Vicious spent the entire night out cold on barbiturates. It plants resonant doubts.
  14. Salt
    Salt knows how to stay one step ahead of you in devious, if jaw-droppingly contrived, ways. The movie is fun, dammit. So who cares, really, if it's trash?
  15. Ramona and Beezus
    On the other hand, this proud graduate of the School of Cleary Classics wishes that, like the young heroine herself, Ramona and Beezus dared more often to color outside the lines.
  16. Countdown to Zero
    Countdown to Zero makes old terrors radioactively new again.
  17. Life During Wartime
    In a staring contest with his audience, Solondz never blinks. He picks and picks at the themes that consume him, and he doesn't care who stays and who leaves. Me, I'm rapt.
  18. Inception
    As engrossing and logic-resistant as the state of dreaming it seeks to replicate, Christopher Nolan's audacious new creation demands further study to fully absorb the multiple, simultaneous stories Nolan finagles into one narrative experience.
  19. Kisses
    A superior lyrical ragamuffin Irish drama.
  20. Valhalla Rising
    When it comes to crazy, violent, semidelirious, testosterone-laden, proto-Viking tales about a mute visionary one-eyed warrior who breaks skulls, Valhalla Rising is pretty great.
  21. The Sorcerer's Apprentice
    The Sorcerer's Apprentice is too long, and it's ersatz magic, but at least it casts an ersatz spell.
  22. The Kids Are All Right
    This warm, funny, sexy, smart movie erases the boundaries between specialized ''gay content'' and universal ''family content'' with such sneaky authority.
  23. Predators
    As a fan of Schwarzenegger's macho, heart-of-darkness original, it gives me no pleasure to say that Predators is an uninspired mess of mediocre action scenes strung together until the final reel.
  24. Despicable Me
    Another 3-D animated kid movie demonstrates that cartoon storytelling pitched to young people is the last, best refuge of sprightly filmmaking this hard, hot summer.
  25. The Girl Who Played with Fire
    I found The Girl Who Played With Fire more gripping than "Dragon Tattoo," because this one doesn't just play with thriller conventions -- it puts them to work.
  26. The Last Airbender
    The movie is "Star Wars" with martial arts, plus a touch of "The Last Emperor." Technically, it's not badly done; I enjoyed the physical clash of elements, the water balls rising like sculpture in the air.
  27. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
    The story, at heart, is earnest and humorless teen romantic glop, but its feelings aren't fake, and the movie is compulsively watchable; it has a passionflower intensity.
  28. Love Ranch
    Taylor Hackford, fails to squeeze the tiniest bit of juice, sexy or comic or otherwise, out of the chintzy-libertine locale.
  29. Grown Ups
    For a while, the movie looks like "Couples Retreat" or a Tyler Perry house party, only instead of cookie-cutter conflicts, everyone just grows happier and more relaxed.
  30. Restrepo
    It's doubtful you'll ever see a combat documentary that channels the chaos of war as thoroughly as this one.
