  1. Summer Hours
    Brims with life and loveliness even as it meditates on the loss of childhood.
  2. The Brothers Bloom
    This time we expect to be played, but the twist is that we're also touched -- which, the film implies, is the cinema's own form of deception.
  3. Angels & Demons
    The new movie is an opulent-bordering-on-hysterical mass of chitchat and chase scenes.
  4. Management
    Isn't it time Steve Zahn grew up? Ever since the '90s, this walking quirk of an actor has pushed his dazed solipsistic zaniness (he's like Michael J. Fox’s hillbilly cousin), but he's 41 now, and it no longer looks cute on him.
  5. Adoration
    The upshot is that those who appear to be guilty may not be -- a muddled message for our time.
  6. Julia
    This overlong, lurchy homage to John Cassavetes' 1980 film "Gloria" is a mess, but a fascinating one, given Swinton's desperately avid performance in the title role.
  7. Little Ashes
    I can't imagine what Dali or Buñuel would have made of such bourgeois sentimentality.
  8. Next Day Air
    If the movie doesn't even care about its characters, then how can we?
  9. Outrage
    The movie excoriates the hypocrisy of self-hating gay lawmakers (several of whom it outs), yet it also explores the burden of the public closet.
  10. Rudo y Cursi
    The intimate movie hums with a back-in-the-hood vibe that gets the two stars playing contentedly, and delightfully, for the love of local filmmaking.
  11. Star Trek
    The clever and infectious reboot of the amazingly enduring sci-fi classic, director J.J. Abrams crafts an origin myth that avoids any hint of the origin doldrums. That's because he rewires us back into the original Star Trek's primal appeal.
  12. The Limits of Control
    The Limits of Control, even with its flow of star cameos (Tilda Swinton, Gael García Bernal, a frenetic Bill Murray), is a listless long pause that rarely refreshes.
  13. Revanche
    As long as Revanche focuses on the relationship between Tamara (Irina Potapenko), an indentured Ukrainian prostitute, and Alex (Johannes Krisch), the ex-con gofer and would-be tough guy who wants to help her escape, it's riveting.
  14. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
    The effect-laden showdowns feel more dutiful than daring, and the rare moments of fun are parceled out frugally, like precious nuggets of adamantium.
  15. Battle for Terra
    Tentle, dreamy animated sci-fi tale.
  16. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
    The movie is cheesy, tacky, and gimmicky. But as directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls), it's also prankish and inventive enough to be kind of fun.
  17. The Merry Gentleman
    This Debbie Downer of a drama is a bitter slog.
  18. Obsessed
    Obsessed has little plausibility, but at moments it's an entertaining bad movie, and the performers are vivid.
  19. Fighting
    Murderously dull stretches of dialogue suck most of the fun out of this sloppy drama.
  20. Il Divo
    You need know nothing about Italian politics to completely enjoy the fantastical, Fellini-fied, tragi-comic, biographical fun-for-all Il Divo.
  21. The Soloist
    It's all a bit shapeless, yet made with sincerity and taste, and the two actors seize your sympathy.
  22. Tyson
    The result is flashy, but the meaning is a bit of a bob and weave.
  23. Earth
    This super-duper deluxe nature documentary clearly aims to recruit young viewers as conservationists.
  24. State of Play
    Spins a thorny tale of political corruption laced with personal sleaze.
  25. 17 Again
    The result is a slack do-over fantasy in which Zac Efron, as a basketball star, looks baffled as to why he hasn't been asked to sing and dance.
  26. American Violet
    An artlessly powerful performance by newcomer Nicole Behaire anchors American Violet.
  27. Crank: High Voltage
    The result, an eye-popping strobe of flesh and blood, is as visually stunning as it is absurdly offensive, sure to thrill some while leaving others in a state of outrage-induced catatonia.
  28. Every Little Step
    A movie as layered and enthralling as its subject.
  29. Anvil! The Story of Anvil
    It's a hilarious, and unexpectedly moving, documentary about the greatest metal band you've probably never heard of.
  30. Dragonball: Evolution
    Marvel at the fact that something this trippy made it to our local multiplex.
