  1. The September Issue
    Lusciously revealing fly-on-the-wall portrait of Anna Wintour.
  2. Big Fan
    The movie is an unblinking look at the hidden (or perhaps not so hidden) pathology of American sports mania.
  3. Halloween II (2009)
    What Halloween II does have, though, is Zombie’s claustrophobic visual style; he half-drowns his actors in shadow, then tracks them through windows and around corners like a focused predator. If only we cared about the prey.
  4. Taking Woodstock
    Lee captures the fractious, joyful, monstrously evolving mass it all was.
  5. Inglourious Basterds
    In Tarantino's besotted historical reverie, real-life villains Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels are played as grotesque jokes. The Basterds are played as exaggeratedly tough Jews. The women are femmes fatales.?
  6. World's Greatest Dad
    Williams hasn't been this sympathetic in years.
  7. Post Grad
    Dismayingly conservative dramedy.
  8. Shorts
    More like a summer-camp theater project than a studio movie.
  9. The Baader Meinhof Complex
    For two and a half hours, Edel lays out the bombings, kidnappings, and murders committed by the Baader-Meinhof group, which mutated into the RAF. He catches the violently delusional self-righteousness of their antifascist fervor, but as individuals these cultish guerrillas remain opaque.
  10. Fifty Dead Men Walking
    Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe) makes a believable cocky lad who signs on for the con; an oddly bewigged Ben Kingsley is fussier and too actorly as his handler.
  11. Five Minutes of Heaven
    A forceful Neeson and an even more intense Nesbitt (Bloody Sunday) both show their stuff and obscure the unrelieved pain endured by the men they portray.
  12. X Games 3D: The Movie
    Mostly an overlong demo reel of increasingly gutsy tricks.
  13. Art & Copy
    An entertaining but also oddly naive documentary about American advertising.
  14. My One and Only
    A weightless movie as cheerily artificial as the Old Navy pitchman's bronze skin tones.
  15. Still Walking
    A film of droll and dry observational precision, its emotional minimalism is almost fetishistic -- and, by the end, a tad frustrating.
  16. District 9
    Madly original, cheekily political, altogether exciting District 9.
  17. Ponyo
    Don't tell Walt Disney, but Hayao Miyazaki really holds the keys to the magic kingdom.
  18. The Time Traveler's Wife
    Bana and McAdams are sweet together, with matching dimples and starry eyes, and we grow eager to see them remain in the same place. In the end, that's all there is to the movie, really. It's a time-travel fantasy in search of a cozy love seat.
  19. Bandslam
    Misfit teens in the process of forming a high school band learn life lessons and raise their goblets of rock. But there's enough of a strong filmmaking backbeat in Bandslam to carry the movie's light tune.
  20. The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard
    Ed Helms and Ving Rhames score laughs. But the breakout is "Step Brothers'" Kathryn Hahn as the tough (sales)girl who keeps up with the boys.
  21. Earth Days
    A rapturous and enlightening look at the history of the environmental movement in America.
  22. It Might Get Loud
    A marvelous rock doc that manages to be wistful, tasty, and jam-kicking at the same time.
  23. Spread
    The whole movie is pat -- very pleased with itself for being so up front about the ways of a 21st-century man-whore.
  24. A Perfect Getaway
    Steve Zahn makes full use of the many varieties of hyper in his acting arsenal, while Timothy Olyphant has a heckuva good time telegraphing macho mania.
  25. Julie & Julia
    It hooks you up, happily, to your inner top chef.
  26. Cold Souls
    Darkly funny, twisty-cool existential tragicomedy, loaded with smart notions and filmed like a surrealist dream.
  27. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
    Don't go expecting an escapist night at the movies; go expecting to be cudgeled into numb, drooling submission.
  28. Beeswax
    There are fine, fresh observational moments, but the film is much ado about not so much.
  29. Paper Heart
    The movie's hide-and-seek attitude toward truth mirrors the intricacies of one lover getting to know another -- an arresting notion of the heart that's much more than paper-deep.
  30. Funny People
    The message that comes across is: We're all screwed, and then we die. Ba-DUM.
