  1. Chimpanzee
    No amount of gorgeous jungle footage can make up for the fact that this Disney-produced documentary feels about as natural as an episode of "The Hills," though with (slightly) more feral characters.
  2. The Three Stooges
    All three of the leads get very close to the Stooges' old looks and personalities, but they do more than impersonate; they inhabit.
  3. Think Like a Man
    Think Like a Man is so busy tracking courtship as if it were a science project that the bite-size love stories lack spontaneity.
  4. Lockout
    With no thriller cliché left unused, the gaily outlandish plot is matched by tin-eared dialogue, ripe tough-guy overacting from the very game Pearce, and best-that-she-could acting from Grace.
  5. The Cabin in the Woods
    The movie's biggest surprise may be that the story we think we know from modern scary cinema - that horror is a fun, cosmic game, not much else - here turns out to be pretty much the whole enchilada.
  6. Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope
    He (Spurlock) takes Comic-Con seriously. He talks to Kevin Smith, Harry Knowles, and other famous grown-up geeks, but mostly he follows a handful of people whose dream it is to pass through the fan/professional looking glass and carve out a place for themselves in the industry of fantasy.
  7. Damsels in Distress
    Gerwig can't make her character come alive, though, and neither can Adam Brody as one of their neediest male cases. In the midst of the froufrou, lovely, stalklike Analeigh Tipton (Crazy, Stupid, Love) is delightful as a student who enjoys being normal and living in this century.
  8. American Reunion
    American Reunion is about the comedy of middle-class men who can't be satisfied with sex until it looks like porn.
  9. Mirror Mirror
    A dull and unbewitching movie.
  10. Wrath of the Titans
    For a movie like Wrath of the Titans, which is basically "Gladiator" crossed with "Lord of the Rings" crossed with a special-effects demo reel (call it Lord of the Rinky-Dink), he's (Worthington) the perfect actor.
  11. Gerhard Richter - Painting
    The film is sketchy as biography, but it proves an aging artist can still crackle with the electricity of youth.
  12. Life Happens
    It's a trifle, but at least it doesn't star Katherine Heigl.
  13. Goon
    He can barely skate, but it hardly matters: As a goon, he's a genius.
  14. Intruders
    Owen devotes himself to the horror-flick role of a father battling his daughter's monsters with the same trademark efficiency and intensity he brings to every project, whether pulpy like "Killer Elite" or pure like "Shadow Dancer."
  15. Bully
    As long as the MPAA is issuing its cavalier decrees, though, they're the ones acting like bullies.
  16. 4:44 Last Day on Earth
    One of Dafoe's deadbeat friends observes, ''The world's been ending ever since it started, man,'' and you may think the same thing about this movie.
  17. Jiro Dreams of Sushi
    Director David Gelb pulls back the curtain on the kitchen rituals of sushi, inviting us to experience the savory-smooth sensation of ''umami,'' roughly translated as ''Ahhh!''
  18. The Raid: Redemption
    I do wish that Evans were a better storyteller. When he isn't turning mad-dog violence into visual rock & roll, The Raid shreds narrative coherence to ribbons.
  19. The Deep Blue Sea
    In this typically exquisite, nuanced, memory-infused work from master British filmmaker Terence Davies, we believe every minute of the torment of Hester (Rachel Weisz).
  20. The Hunger Games
    A muscular, honorable, unflinching translation of Collins' vision. It's brutal where it needs to be, particularly when children fight and bleed.
  21. Delicacy
    The two stars appear to be as bewildered by the turn of events as we are.
  22. The Kid with a Bike
    No one charts the wilds of childhood more precisely than the Dardennes.
  23. Seeking Justice
    The movie is never dull, though, and Cage acts every moment as if he means it. As the cult's leader, Guy Pearce, looking deeply creepy with a shaved head, has a cruel playfulness.
  24. Detachment
    When it stays in the classroom, Detachment is a scrappy testament - to the futility of even trying to reach students who are cut off from the possibilities of knowledge, and to the way that our teachers are slowly being driven nuts.
  25. Jeff Who Lives at Home
    With his large bod, soft features, and air of goofy sweetness, Jason Segel is a natural fit for Jeff, Who Lives at Home, a goofy, sweet comedy.
  26. Casa de mi Padre
    If you take the film on its own terms, as a kind of Elvis movie dipped in guacamole, it's quirkily engrossing. Ferrell is a good straight actor for the same reason that he's an inspired comedian: He commits himself to every moment.
  27. 21 Jump Street
    Underneath, 21 Jump Street is a riot of risks that pay off, the biggest of which might be handing Tatum funny business.
  28. A Thousand Words
    In theory, A Thousand Words should draw on its star's abilities as a physical comedian, but Murphy, miming his order for a triple latte at Starbucks, comes off like Charlie Chaplin on crystal meth; he's strenuously unfunny to watch.
  29. Footnote
    Footnote is itself a perfect little piece of Talmud, full of text, commentary, and colorful argument.
  30. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
    You can have a reasonably nice time at Salmon Fishing in the Yemen if you accept that it's the tidiest movie imaginable to ever say that falling in love is like swimming upstream.
