  1. Conan the Barbarian
    There's something and nothing for everyone in Conan the Barbarian 3D.
  2. One Day
    A drippy, uninvolving movie adaptation.
  3. Final Destination 5
    In Final Destination 5, Death makes the point yet again that it will not be cheated. And happily for those of us who enjoy the FD series' grotesquely clever premise beyond reason, unfortunate folks still refuse to pay attention, with inventively dire consequences.
  4. Glee: The 3D Concert Movie
    As for the concert itself, it's a generically big, loud, overchoreographed, over-mic'ed, post-Madonna production.
  5. Senna
    With exemplary use of archival footage, director Asif Kapadia expertly contrasts episodes of adrenaline-rush speed with moments of reflective slow motion to capture the addictive thrill and danger of the sport, as well as the personal values of the humble, spiritual sportsman.
  6. El Bulli: Cooking in Progress
    El Bulli becomes a haunting celebration of the human desire to turn food into art - even if the results are consciously insane.
  7. 30 Minutes or Less
    There's nothing nice about 30 Minutes or Less. It's got no redeeming social value. It just ticks away, exploding all notions of where you think it's going to go. It blew me sideways.
  8. The Help
    The Help has a saucy, humorous side.
  9. Mysteries of Lisbon
    This enveloping dream of an epic narrative experiment comes from the great Chilean-born, France-based filmmaker Raúl Ruiz (Time Regained).
  10. Magic Trip
    It's like seeing the birth of the '60s, with great moments (including Neal Cassady doing speed-freak monologues).
  11. Bellflower
    Bellflower is stylishly watchable - even when it's preposterous.
  12. The Whistleblower
    Rarely has a movie captured the obscene violence of sex trafficking with such unvarnished grubbiness. In the end, though, The Whistleblower is a corporate thriller.
  13. The Future
    As she did in her striking 2005 debut, "Me and You and Everyone We Know," July creates a fluid cinematic universe.
  14. The Change-Up
    Soon enough it's back to stale jokes about spousal date nights.
  15. Rise of the Planet of the Apes
    The movie is zippier than Tim Burton's oddly lifeless 2001 "Planet of the Apes" remake, but unlike good sci-fi, it doesn't signify anything, or really even try to.
    • 58 Metascore

    Life in a Day
    It's our equivalent of that '80s art-film kaleidoscope "Koyaanisqatsi."
  17. The Guard
    In this offbeat buddy-cop comedy, Don Cheadle, as an FBI agent trying to stop a drug ring, makes the perfect foil.
  18. The Devil's Double
    I'm not sure what it all adds up to, but The Devil's Double puts its hooks in you and keeps them there.
  19. Attack the Block
    There could be a few more scares and laughs, but it's a blast to be drawn into this urban ecosystem that is, to us Yanks, itself a bit alien.
  20. The Smurfs
    The Smurfs may be blue, but their movie is decidedly green, recycling discarded bits from other celluloid Happy Meals like "Alvin and the Chipmunks," "Garfield," and "Hop" into something half animated, half live action, and all careful studio calculation.
  21. Crazy, Stupid, Love
    Nothing more (or less) than an enchanting light comedy of romantic confusion... It's a movie that understands love because it understands pain.
  22. Cowboys & Aliens
    Cowboys & Aliens has fun moments, but it's a plodding entertainment because it mostly tastes like leftovers.
  23. Friends with Benefits
    I'm not exactly sure this is a situation that a lot of people are going to identify with. More to the point, it gives the movie a faulty design. Dylan and Jamie sleep together and get along famously. Where's the dramatic motor?
  24. Another Earth
    It's one of those stultifying aftermath-of-
a-car-crash movies.
  25. Sarah's Key
    The Holocaust scenes are wrenching, the past-meets-present dialectics less so.
  26. A Little Help
    Fischer's performance is sweet and subtle, but the film can be so understated in tone and plot that it's hard to tell if it's actually saying anything.
  27. The Tree
    A symbol of the lost father, it looms, protects, and also wreaks havoc when a big branch collapses onto the house. Mostly, it's the expression of a movie that's content to stand still.
  28. The Myth of the American Sleepover
    The Myth of the American Sleepover has fresh, lovely moments, but it could have used more psychological heft.
  29. Captain America: The First Avenger
    Stolidly corny, old-fashioned pulp fun.
  30. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
    Sadly, rather than melding the best of two worlds, the film only takes the worst of their soap operas.
