  1. Unknown
    The movie whips up a big old puree of ingredients borrowed from other cinematic recipes.
  2. Just Go with It
    A bummer - slack rather than loose, tired rather than fun.
  3. Cedar Rapids
    Sweetness makes the raunch in this honestly funny movie even funnier.
  4. Gnomeo and Juliet
    Every movie about cuddly dwarf statues in an English garden should have music this big.
  5. The Eagle
    The story and setting may be ancient, but under the direction of Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland), and with a nicely textured screenplay by Macdonald's Scotland coscreenwriter Jeremy Brock, the vigor is fully modern.
  6. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never
    If this is what it sounds like when a new millennium goes pop, I'll take it.
  7. The Roommate
    A far-below-par thriller that desperately wishes it were a different movie - a longing it shares with the audience.
  8. Sanctum
    As we go deeper into the cave, walls squeezing, water rising, the movie has a narrative pull as sure as gravity.
  9. From Prada to Nada
    For a film ostensibly about the importance of finding a little spice and flavor in your life, From Prada to Nada is surprisingly bland.
  10. Waiting for Forever
    An indistinct romantic-dramedy-ish something or other about the rekindled romance of an actress (Rachel Bilson) and her childhood best friend (Tom Sturridge).
  11. The Other Woman
    Opportunities for bad behavior abound in Waldman's novel - the author's prerogative. Roos, though, hasn't cracked the puzzle of how to explore that behavior on screen in such a way that the characters behave badly in interesting, rather than arbitrary, ways.
  12. Dhobi Ghat (Mumbai Diaries)
    This shot-on-film-and-video trifle reveals a Bombay (that's what all the characters call it) that "Slumdog Millionaire" didn't: a delicate metropolis sunk in torpor.
  13. The Rite
    The Rite commits the supreme sin of making the devil dull.
  14. The Mechanic
    As it is, The Mechanic is ham-fisted pulp, like Robert Rodriguez's "Machete" taking itself seriously.
  15. Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune
    At once an unsentimental portrait of the ambitious singer who thought himself bound for glory, and an affecting elegy for a time when song was a form of revolution.
  16. A Somewhat Gentle Man
    Skarsgard's utter finesse in the role provides a satisfying warmth.
  17. The Housemaid
    The class warfare in The Housemade feels dated, but there's something nicely kinky in this lusciously photographed erotic Korean thriller by Im Sang-soo.
  18. Applause
    In his debut feature, the director is wise enough to move his hand-held camera wherever Steen wants to go.
  19. The Way Back
    It's also filled with scenes of extraordinary survival challenges. But the result is oddly impersonal and undifferentiated.
  20. No Strings Attached
    Adam is cute and all, but the real strings worth tying are those that bind this sisterhood of sharp, interesting, sexually active women together. Where's THEIR starring movie?
  21. The Time That Remains
    At best, his poker-faced vignettes nail the icy comedy of war: A man chats on his cell phone, unworried about a tank targeting him a few feet away. At worst, they're totally opaque and unmoving.
  22. The Dilemma
    The dilemma of The Dilemma is that the conundrum at the center of the story isn't particularly hilarious.
  23. Every Day
    It's hard to empathize with the family in the indie drama Every Day when each member is so sitcom-ready.
  24. Barney's Version
    Paul Giamatti, dialing down his trembly-voiced neurotic energy to good effect, gives a holy hell of a performance as Barney Panofsky.
  25. The Green Hornet
    In a last-minute tweak, the production has also been meaninglessly 3-D-ified - never mind that there's nothing whatsoever 3-D-ish going on. Maybe those clumsy 3-D glasses are meant to let moviegoers mimic the superhero mask-wearing experience?
  26. Season of the Witch
    The best thing about it is Claire Foy's performance as the seething, caged is-she-a-witch?. Foy, like a Brit Kristen Stewart, has an entrancing sparkle of disdain.
  27. Another Year
    What it does have is an overwhelming bittersweet melancholy at the passing of life from middle age into…well, you could call it late middle age.
  28. Country Strong
    The film keeps throwing things at you: drunk scenes, adultery scenes, "All About Eve" rise-of-the-young-rival scenes. Yet despite the presence of some appealing actors, none of it quite adds up.
  29. Casino Jack
    Tonally scattershot and more than a little heavy-footed.
  30. Somewhere
    The movie's redemptive structure is a bit routine, yet I watched nearly every scene with a sense of discovery. Coppola is a true filmmaker, and in Somewhere she pierces the Hollywood bubble from the inside.
