  1. Mother
    Another must-see marvel of horror, comedy, and impeccable filmmaking by the Korean director Bong Joon-ho.
  2. Our Family Wedding
    Be prepared to swallow a lot of empty-calorie jokes in which blacks and Latinos insult and misunderstand one another in a spirit of vigorous buffoonery.
  3. Remember Me
    As a shameless contraption of ridiculously sad things befalling attractive people, the engorged romantic tragedy Remember Me stands tall between those towering monuments to teen-oriented cinematic misery, Love Story and Twilight.
  4. Stolen
    It's a toss-up as to what's the worse sin in this graceless piece of tragedy porn.
  5. Alice in Wonderland
    In the film's rather humdrum 3-D, the place doesn't dazzle — it droops.
  6. Brooklyn's Finest
    Ellen Barkin provides unexpected diversion in a madwoman cameo as the PD's brassiest brass. But otherwise the clichés keep coming.
  7. The Secret of Kells
    Regrettably, the film's story is so busy yet flat that the effect isn't magical -- it's more like watching the tale of some very enchanted wallpaper.
  8. Cop Out
    Without that heightened racial antipathy-turned-camaraderie, there's not a whole lot to Cop Out besides watching Kevin Smith pretend, with a crudeness that is simply boring, that he's an action director making a comic thriller about cops versus a Mexican drug gang (yawn).
  9. A Prophet
    There's also no romanticizing on the part of the director, who proceeds with calm, unshowy attentiveness (even in the midst of scenes of violence), creating a stunning portrait of an innately smart survivor for whom prison turns out to be a twisted opportunity for self-definition.
  10. The Crazies
    Here's what I can say for sure about the humanoid attackers in the new version of The Crazies: They're not very interesting.
  11. The Yellow Handkerchief
    Here the fascination is Hurt, so deft at steering his character away from booby-trap clichés that he guides his young costars safely out of sap's way and brightens an otherwise very yellowed tale.
  12. The Art of the Steal
    It's memorable when it meditates on the changing face of where we look at art, and how that changes the art itself.
  13. Shutter Island
    Shutter Island holds you, but it doesn't grip you. It's as if Scorsese had put his filmmaking fever on psychotropic drugs.
  14. The Good Guy
    One by one, each scene goes slack as the script struggles with Screenwriting 101 problems like who the main character is and what he wants -- not to mention why any of us should care in the first place.
  15. The Ghost Writer
    Satisfying, melancholy political suspense story.
  16. Lourdes
    Beautifully led by birdlike Sylvie Testud as an ailing young woman in a wheelchair, every character (pilgrim and helper alike) exhibits a soul. And shaped with confident talent by the Austrian filmmaker, every serenely composed shot matters.
  17. The Wolfman
    Del Toro, with his melancholy-brute features, endows this raging beast with some of the ''Why me?'' poignance you may remember from Lon Chaney Jr.'s performance in the original.
  18. Valentine's Day
    How you feel about Valentine's Day may depend on how you feel when someone really, really cute -- and someone you're really, really fond of -- gives you a nasty box of cheap chocolate on Valentine's Day, picked up at the corner Rite Aid and delivered with the price tag still attached.
  19. Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
    Has all the CGI sorcery of a Harry Potter pic, but none of the magic.
  20. From Paris with Love
    A ''fun trash'' movie that's more trash than fun.
  21. Dear John
    Ironically, they make the bond between John and Savannah look so natural that the ''dear John'' turn in their relationship makes even less sense than it does in the book.
  22. Ajami
    Emotionally mesmerizing.
  23. Edge of Darkness
    His (Gibson) slow-burn fury keeps the movie going, but not enough to invest us in any justice beyond payback.
  24. When in Rome
    Sounds mildly fun, be forwarned: When in Rome doesn't even offer that.
  25. Saint John of Las Vegas
    With stars like Steve Buscemi and Sarah Silverman and big-fish producers such as Spike Lee and Stanley Tucci on board, you'd think this indie would offer some glimmer of wit or originality. Think again.
  26. Legion
    After a brisk start, the script turns out to be a rough and humorless beast slouching its way towards utter ludicrousness.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Extraordinary Measures
    Hardly an extraordinary movie. In fact, it's hard to believe that this schmaltzy film found its home on the big screen rather than the Hallmark Channel. But I dare you not to feel something at its conclusion.
  28. The Girl on the Train
    Téchiné has made a half-captivating, half-baffling tease of a movie in which one woman's destructive whim has the effect of making anti-Semitism look like a myth. It's a distortion that Téchiné, with a passivity bordering on perversity, does nothing to dispel.
  29. Creation
    One of those tepid, genteel biopics that's far too busy ennobling its hero to bother giving him any recklessly interesting personality traits.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Tooth Fairy
    British comic Stephen Merchant (Extras), exudes an easier charm as a goofy fairyland caseworker who harbors big dreams of his own.
