  1. Win Win
    Win Win, it turns out, isn't a tale of facile victory. It's a movie about how loss makes everyone do things they'll both defend and regret.
  2. The Lincoln Lawyer
    Plot leaps that are fun on paper look generic on screen; here's another lawyer movie in which the characters are only as interesting as the actors playing them.
  3. Paul
    Graeme and Clive, representatives of a nation of nonbelievers in UFOs and big dinner portions, come to the psychic capital of a country that wants to believe, and they're transformed. In Paul, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost do likewise, in celebration of what the Spielbergian cosmos is all about.
  4. Limitless
    In Limitless, a potently fanciful and fun thriller about a drug that turns you into a genius, Cooper proves a cock-of-the-walk movie star.
  5. Battle: Los Angeles
    Except for the relentless, jittery way that the film has been photographed, there's nothing of interest going on in it. It's all fractious guerrilla-newsreel "style" masquerading a void.
  6. Red Riding Hood
    Red Riding Hood goes from trite to triter, a plot collapse that overtakes any of the visual prettiness from cinematographer Mandy Walker (Beastly).
  7. Monogamy
    Irksome dither of an indie drama.
  8. Certified Copy
    The end will haunt you.
  9. I Am
    An earnest, lumpy macramé of a personal nonfiction project.
  10. Kill the Irishman
    The cast is tasty, including Vincent D'Onofrio as a friendly fellow Mob guy, Val Kilmer as the head of the Cleveland PD, Christopher Walken as an underworld power broker, and a bunch of character actors hoping for a remake of "The Sopranos."
  11. Mars Needs Moms
    The movie is also visually magnificent - modestly so. Plus, it's half the length of "Avatar."
  12. Jane Eyre
    The film never conveys that something larger is at work - like, say, the hand of fate. And without that, there's more busyness than beauty to Brontë.
  13. Beastly
    Spectacularly poor judgment in everything from acting to costuming (Olsen's Harajuku-troll get-up is scarier than her curse) puts Beastly right on the cusp of the so-bad-it's-good Hall of Shame.
  14. Happythankyoumoreplease
    With very little modification, the relationship woes of the six chirpy young New Yorkers in this self-absorbed indie could be reworked into episodes of TV's "How I Met Your Mother."
  15. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
    Spirit, animal, and human worlds coexist in dreamy harmony in this remarkable drama.
  16. I Saw the Devil
    Somewhere in all the blood (sickening realism is a selling point), a question is posed: When does the one fighting a monster become a monster himself?
  17. Take Me Home Tonight
    It does possess a certain backward-glancing innocent appeal.
  18. The Adjustment Bureau
    An enjoyable piece of hokum – your basic doom-laden parable of metaphysical sci-fi mind control, only with a surprise romantic sparkle.
  19. Rango
    The biggest strike against Rango, though - for both the movie and the hero - is that the lizard is so damn ugly.
  20. Drive Angry 3D
    Even the film's one "original" twist is just a desperate attempt to link it up to Ghost Rider, the only lousy Nicolas Cage action film that is actually spawning a sequel.
  21. Heartbeats
    Xavier Dolan is back with another madly stylish Montreal-made delight.
  22. Of Gods and Men
    It is their shared strength as a band of brothers humble before their Christian God - and indeed before the God of Islam - that may stir viewers to an awe that transcends skeptical opinions about religion or politics.
  23. Hall Pass
    Hall Pass would like to be as dunked in reality as Judd Apatow's best comedies, but the movie is thin. The Farrellys can't quite nudge the characters from two dimensions to three.
  24. I Am Number Four
    Witless, insultingly derivative, muddy-looking, and edited in the hammering epileptic style that marks so many films produced, as this one is, by Michael Bay.
  25. Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son
    Lawrence's gender-bending jokes are played out, and his slapstick is wooden and slow.
  26. Carancho
    Worth seeing.
  27. Poetry
    Facing a diagnosis of Alzheimer's, the older woman enrolls in a poetry class, desperate to find the words to describe beauty before language fails her. She does even better: She herself becomes a kind of poem about what it means to really see the world.
  28. The Last Lions
    The footage, by Dereck and Beverly Joubert, is stunning.
  29. Cold Weather
    Cold Weather becomes the world's first mumblecore "thriller" - a good idea for a movie that someone, in the future, should execute a bit less lackadaisically.
  30. Vanishing on 7th Street
    Anderson has made a zombie movie without the zombies.
