  1. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
    Harrison Ford? Terrific -- and re-energized.
  2. The Edge of Heaven
    Hopping from Germany to Turkey and back again, Akin is out to capture the ways that a globalized world can tear up our hearts, and repair them, too.
  3. A Jihad for Love
    Noble in intention but crude in execution.
  4. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
    In total effect, Prince Caspian feels a lot more earthbound than "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."
  5. Reprise
    Reprise is kissed with the breath of French New Wave sensibility, sweet with verve and a love of forward movement. The mood of joy in the midst of youthful pain is enhanced by the freshness of the first-time lead actors.
  6. Speed Racer
    Young boys are the only suitable audience for Speed Racer, the elaborate live-action adaptation written and directed by "Matrix" creators Larry and Andy Wachowski. And even they might feel an urge to squirm.
  7. The Babysitters
    The premise is out of '70s porn, and so is the overbroad satire and almost total lack of conviction.
  8. Noise
    As a follow-up to his striking 2002 directorial debut, "The Believer," this second obsessive study in fanaticism by writer-director Henry Bean has its own delirious integrity and outsider-art charm.
  9. OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies
    There are more chuckles than laughs, but the film does a witty job of replicating the hermetic, overlit shot language of '60s studio movies.
  10. Surfwise
    Doug Pray's cool documentary about 85-year-old Dr. Dorian Paskowitz, his wife, and their eight sons and one daughter is about surfing insofar as surfing is the family's shared passion.
  11. Turn the River
    An only-in-the-movies mother hustles pool to raise the money to abduct the son she's been forbidden to see since her divorce.
  12. What Happens in Vegas
    Kutcher, who gives his most energized performance to date, and Diaz, darting between the caustic and shrill, look as if they're warming up to groovy hate sex, not love, which may be why the film goes flat the moment it turns friendly.

    Before the Rains
    This period piece is exactly what you'd expect from a Merchant Ivory production: a tragic tale of love set against a backdrop of opulent scenery.
  14. Battle for Haditha
    Searing, powerful, and morally entangled.
  15. Iron Man
    Even at his coolest, Downey's Iron Man remains a ghostly, neurotic crusader -- one whose life, in the Marvel tradition, has become a grand spectacle of overcompensation.
  16. Made of Honor
    A nice cookie-cutter comedy, no more and no less, but Dempsey, with his relaxed charm, and Monaghan, with her soft and peachy sensual spark, rise to the challenge of making friendship look like the wellspring of true love.
  17. Mister Lonely
    None of the faux icons comes close to being a character. Instead, they are contrasted with a group of nuns who skydive without parachutes. Could this possibly be a metaphor for Korine's filmmaking? It certainly goes splat.
  18. Redbelt
    Mamet regulars Ricky Jay and Joe Mantegna blend well with Mamet newbie Tim Allen, a treat as a spoiled-rotten aging Hollywood action star.
  19. Son of Rambow
    The team who made "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" display plenty of whirligig energy, if not much control or lightness of touch.
  20. XXY
    It's set at a beach house, but we see only gray skies, and though Efron has a wary and cutting intelligence (it matches that of the fine actor Ricardo Darin, who plays her father), the effect is tepid and damp.
  21. Viva
    It takes skill — a certain sly, even perverse nimbleness of craft — to make an homage to schlock movies that treats them as works of art.
  22. Baby Mama
    Although the big picture itself gets mushy, the small moments, especially involving Fey, are sharp.
  23. Deception
    Everything is wrong pretty much from the start of this misbegotten adventure.
  24. Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
    Harold and Kumar, fortunately, never lose their verbally relentless way of delivering raunch as pure common sense.
  25. Roman de gare
    A sly catalog of deceits and a gentle commentary on slippery creativity and desire.
  26. Standard Operating Procedure
    Morris, using a welter of photographs (many of which we haven't seen), constructs a day-to-day sense of how Abu Ghraib descended into a medieval hell.
  27. Then She Found Me
    Hunt's movie-directing debut frequently crackles with nice gags.
  28. Up the Yangtze
    Filmmaker Yung Chang finds a sad and beautiful way to glimpse the big picture of dislocation through an exquisitely poised small study.
  29. 88 Minutes
    A stinker, the more so for the thespian excesses of the accomplished cast.
  30. The Forbidden Kingdom
    This kingdom really should be forbidden.
