  1. Man of Steel
    The local multiplex is lousy with celluloid crime fighters. So what turf is left for good old Clark Kent? That's the nagging question that director Zack Snyder's Man of Steel tries — and ultimately fails — to answer.
  2. The Internship
    There’s a reason that it lacks the highs of "Wedding Crashers": The Internship puts us on the side of those who are trying to hold on to respectability, not tear it down.
  3. Tiger Eyes
    Best to forget the movie version exists and keep your happy childhood memories intact.
  4. This Is the End
    It's the wildest screen comedy in a long time, and also the smartest, the most fearlessly inspired, and the snort-out-loud funniest.
  5. Much Ado About Nothing
    The film isn't as fast and funny as it could be, although Nathan Fillion's easily offended constable injects some sorely needed comic relief.
  6. The Purge
    The Purge clearly has a lot on its mind, but it never really manages to express it.
  7. Now You See Me
    At times, Now You See Me suggests Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige" made with a throwaway wink.
  8. After Earth
    The movie takes off from a concept as basic as a videogame, and it sticks to that concept, without surprise.
  9. Epic
    Epic isn't quite destined for the “Again, again!” re-watchability of some of the Pixar classics, but for a satisfying explosion of color on a lazy summer day, it does the trick.
  10. Before Midnight
    Before Midnight confounds expectations in powerful and even haunting ways. It's not just darker than the previous two films. It's bigger, deeper, and more searching. It follows the characters through a tale of embattled love that extends far beyond them.
  11. The East
    The East is still a compelling portrait of what gets lost (and found) when a cause becomes an obsession.
  12. Fast & Furious 6
    Check your brain at the door and fasten your seat belt.
  13. The Hangover Part III
    You should stick around for the end credits because there's a Helms sight gag that's absolutely priceless. The movie could've used more laughs like that one.
  14. Frances Ha
    Gerwig, who previously starred in Baumbach's "Greenberg," is charmingly awkward. And Sumner (Sting's daughter) is an ace with deadpan one-liners.
  15. Star Trek Into Darkness
    Into Darkness is a sleek, thrilling epic that's also a triumphantly witty popcorn morality play. It's everything you could want in a Star Trek movie.
  16. Aftershock
    The first, pre-'quake half hour is such a patience-testing slow burn that director Nicolás López runs the risk of extinguishing the viewer's interest altogether. But when things head (metaphorically) south they do so with an escalating, apocalyptic ferocity which continues until the very last second.
  17. Peeples
    Director Tina Gordon Chism keeps the innocuous class-meets-crass jokes bubbling, and the actors are amiable, but Peeples often seems to want to turn these characters into benignly goofy role models. Maybe that's why the basic comic collision never explodes.
  18. Stories We Tell
    By the end, the rug gets pulled out from under us, showing that even the reality we think we see may be an illusion.
  19. The Great Gatsby
    It's a dazzling time capsule of a shimmering era and a devastating look into the dark side of the American dream. Too bad Luhrmann, the caffeinated conductor, doesn't trust that story enough. He'd rather blast your retinas into sugar-shock submission. Uncle, old sport! Uncle!
  20. Greetings from Tim Buckley
    Penn Badgley saunters around with an air of spooky self-possession, and he does a dead-on impersonation of Buckley's high-vibrato wail.
  21. The Iceman
    Ultimately, this is a grim (both visually and thematically) character study of an unsympathetic character, leaving Shannon, who manages to deliver another impressive performance, twisting in the ice-cold wind.
  22. What Maisie Knew
    In this bleak indie bummer that confuses hopelessness with depth, they're really nothing more than selfish, one-dimensional monsters. Maisie's better off without them.
  23. Iron Man 3
    Iron Man 3 is an ominously exciting, shoot-the-works comic-book spectacular.
  24. The Big Wedding
    The movie, in its basic concept, is corny and contrived, but as written and directed by Justin Zackham, it's executed in a pleasantly wry and understated fashion.
  25. Arthur Newman
    The way Firth embodies the character, with a robot stare and a flat affect that expresses each thought as a kind of minimalist hologram of emotion, he's playing a cipher who pretends to be a different cipher. How indie-ironic!
  26. Mud
    There's something old-fashioned about Mud, but if you allow yourself to settle into its leisurely pace, it will reward you. If he were alive today, Mark Twain would approve.
  27. Pain & Gain
    With Pain & Gain, his surprising true-crime comedy, Bay has finally decided to lighten up a bit.
  28. The Lords of Salem
    Unfortunately, it’s just a witchy mess.
  29. Oblivion
    Oblivion has enough special-effects artistry to keep you distracted for a while. But all the eye candy in the world can’t mask the sensation that you’ve seen this all before…and done better.
  30. Scary Movie 5
    Somehow, it actually looks cheaper than "Paranormal Activity." It's less funny, too.
