  1. The Grand
    Each of these improv farceurs wins a few laughs. But not enough.
  2. Meet the Browns
    The importance of faith, church, kin, staying off drugs, sharing food, repenting from sin, forgiving sinners, appreciating a good black man, rejecting a bad one, and honoring black matriarchy is enumerated with typical, reassuring Perry broadness.
  3. Shutter
    Seems like a technological regression.
  4. Boarding Gate
    This one is just murk.
  5. Love Songs
    Chiara Mastroianni charms here just as her maman, Catherine Deneuve, did in Demy's 1964 classic.
  6. Under the Same Moon (La misma luna)
    The film says that the U.S. immigrant situation is untenable, but then it forces US to ask: What should be done?

    Doomsday
    Marshall cribs whole sections from other movies (Aliens and The Road Warrior, most blatantly) so baldly that you have to wonder how he'd like it if someone ripped off "The Descent" this egregiously.
  8. Horton Hears a Who!
    If I ran the circus, the gang that made the sturdy, witty, inventively animated Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! would get first dibs on any future movie productions of the Theodor Seuss Geisel canon.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Never Back Down
    Movie is dopey. And with its emphasis on stupid violence, xylophone abs, and getting yourself on YouTube, it's yet another product that makes you feel bad about today's youth culture.
  10. Sleepwalking
    A soporific dud, which should have been tossed out of Sundance.
  11. Heartbeat Detector
    It's a thin line between 20th-century Nazism and 21st-century corporate culture in Heartbeat Detector, Nicolas Klotz's rewardingly chilly psychological thriller.
  12. Funny Games (2008)
    Can a movie be gripping and repellent at the same time? In Funny Games, a mockingly sadistic and terrifying watch-the-middle-class-writhe-like-stuck-pigs thriller, the director Michael Haneke puts his characters in a vise, and the audience too.
  13. 10,000 BC
    Neither grand enough to be impressive nor antic enough to be charming, the movie settles for bland and frantic, climaxing in a showdown among decadent pyramid builders. How bad are these guys? They're sadists...and, wink wink, sissies.
  14. The Bank Job
    One of the pleasures of The Bank Job is that it returns us to the days when robbing a bank was a gritty, hole-in-the-wall affair.
  15. College Road Trip
    At its best when it drops any pretense of plot for sheer goof (as when a Japanese sightseer belts ''Sister Christian'' on a karaoke tour bus), and at its worst when Lawrence manages to out-ham even his porky four-legged costar.
  16. Married Life
    Married Life congratulates its audience on a sophisticated, humorous complicity in the obvious immorality of Harry's murder plans, as well as in Richard's own ungentlemanly designs on his pal's gorgeous girl. Every adult, the movie suggests, has got a secret.
  17. Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
    Adams, of course, is a peach. Her sparkle requires only minor character adjustment and twinkle recharging from her recent triumph as the old-fashioned modern heroine in "Enchanted."
  18. Paranoid Park
    Paranoid Park has the slightly glum insularity of minimalist fiction, but it's the first of Van Sant's blitzed-generation films in which a young man wakes up instead of shutting down.
  19. Snow Angels
    David Gordon Green's captivating winter-chill tragedy, is a tale that encompasses murder, divorce, adultery, alcohol abuse, mental breakdown, and the disappearance of a small child. In other words, it's downbeat enough to make the recent Oscar-nominated films look like party games.
  20. CJ7
    Trivial and charmless.
  21. Blindsight
    Lucy Walker's observant film Blindsight is about profound East-West differences in the importance of journey versus destination and comradeship versus competition.
  22. City of Men
    As heavy with message as any Hollywood delinquent drama of the late '50s.
  23. Bonneville
    Ladies! Thelma and Louise drove a '66T-bird, remember?! They picked up a young male hitchhiker 17 years before you did, and they too, um, interacted with a trucker and admired magnificent American sunsets -- is it coming back to you? Nope, it's not, which is exactly why the tires are so low on this creaky vehicle.
  24. Chicago 10
    Chicago 10 is well worth seeing, if only because a good half of the film is devoted to extraordinary footage of the four days of rage that spawned the trial.
  25. The Other Boleyn Girl
    A classy romantic cocktail distinguished by its tart yet breezy bite.
  26. Penelope
    Is there anything more dull than an ineptly cynical fairy tale?
  27. Semi-Pro
    The big goofball relies too much on the funny hair and swingin' postures of the era as punchlines in themselves.
  28. The Unforeseen
    Add The Unforeseen to the catalog of artfully produced nonfiction films that show how humans are screwing up the planet.
  29. Chop Shop
    As he did in his striking 2005 first feature film, "Man Push Cart," about a Pakistani street vendor in New York, perceptive indie filmmaker Ramin Bahrani looks at what others overlook and finds drama in everyday details.
  30. Charlie Bartlett
    Robert Downey Jr. is an uncomfortable sight as the school's hard-drinking, overstressed principal.
