  1. Phoebe in Wonderland
    As the school drama teacher who tries to unlock ''the real,'' Patricia Clarkson makes high theatrical solemnity funny.
  2. Everlasting Moments
    All staged as a harsh poem of survival, with no great psychological interest, yet the ending carries a surprise feminist tug that’s worth the wait.
  3. Fados
    Fados connects today's leading interpreters with legendary fadistas of the past. And it's the last title to be released under the banner of the venerable New Yorker Films.
  4. Explicit Ills
    Webber has a knack for bringing out actors at their showiest, but he palms off too much first-draft sketchiness as ''ambiguity.''
  5. 12
    Has none of the crisp passion or suspense of the 1957 Sidney Lumet version; it's bloated, heavy-handed, and lugubrious.
  6. Red Riding Trilogy
    Each episode (originally made for British TV) works by itself, but there's a real payoff in following all three. (Nothing matches The "Wire," but this holds its own.)
  7. Crossing Over
    Crossing Over is so eager to go for the emotional jugular that it never quite forges an enlightening point of view.
  8. Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience
    To fully savor Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience, it's best to watch with an audience overwhelmingly populated by girls and young women.
  9. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li
    Don't be fooled by the low grade: This sequel-in-spirit to Jean-Claude Van Damme's 1994 dud doesn't even succeed in being memorably bad.
  10. Madea Goes to Jail
    It's a tale soggy with the kind of race/class lessons that Madea, the director-star's battle-ax alter ego, doles out far more handily (and entertainingly) in a single church-lady-from-hell zinger.
  11. Fired Up!
    The teensploitation premise is like something a porn filmmaker from the '70s might have come up with. But Fired Up! has one added quirk: The script, credited to Freedom Jones, is a riot of tongue-twisting ironic sleaze -- it sounds like the first (and last) collaboration between Diablo Cody and Artie Lange.
  12. Must Read After My Death
    Did granny intend this stuff for strangers? We'll never know. File this ''therapeutic'' movie, well made and creepy, on the dysfunction-as-art shelf next to "Capturing the Friedmans."
  13. Katyn
    The great Polish director Andrzej Wajda musters the power of classical filmmaking and personal emotional investment to dramatize a stunning atrocity long covered up.
  14. Gomorrah
    Naples-born Servillo is a national star, famed as a theater, opera, and film director as well as an actor. And he's got the face of a mensch (or a Madoff) -- which makes his embodiment of criminal banality all the more identifiable, as well as horrifying.
  15. Two Lovers
    James Gray's Two Lovers really is a '70s movie, in the mode of such raw, unfiltered character studies as "The Panic in Needle Park," "Wanda," and "Fat City."
  16. Friday the 13th
    However, this film is (be)head and shoulders above the recently reanimated likes of "Prom Night" and "My Bloody Valentine."
  17. Under the Sea 3D
    Offers up dazzling ocean creatures in calmly shifting scenes that could double as the world's most expensive screensaver.
  18. Coraline
    This thrilling stop-motion animated adventure is a high point in Selick's career of creating handcrafted wonderlands of beauty blended with deep, disconcerting creepiness.
  19. He's Just Not That Into You
    He's Just Not That Into You turns romantic sanity into something so sanitized that it starts to make delusion look good.
  20. The Pink Panther 2
    Provides genial chuckles, but it's never excitingly rude.
  21. Push
    A weightless, style-driven thriller set in a photogenically chaotic Hong Kong.
  22. Confessions of a Shopaholic
    Breathless and petite yet powerfully in-your-face, Fisher combines dizzy femininity and no-nonsense verve in the manner of a classic screwball heroine. She's like Carole Lombard reborn as a tiny angel-faced dynamo.
  23. The International
    There's something almost endearingly out of sync about the sleek but now dated Euro-thriller The International.
  24. Fanboys
    Mildly cute, mildly drooly, majorly too late spoof/homage.
  25. Taken
    Propulsively outandish thriller.
  26. The Uninvited
    Horror standbys like mangled corpses and stone-faced children pop up regularly, but sibling directors Charles and Thomas Guard haven't quite nailed the genre's rhythms.
  27. New in Town
    A gentle, traditional (like, from the last century) romantic comedy.
  28. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
    Sheen and Nighy do their best with the material, but this is easily the worst Underworld so far.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Donkey Punch
    This predictable film wouldn't be effective anywhere outside a DARE program.
  30. Inkheart
    Mirren's all-out display in this distinctly British absurdo-literary extravaganza had me wishing Elinor were my own fabulous auntie and that she'd lend me some magic items from her closet.
