  1. Blue Valentine
    Blue Valentine is lushly touching and gorgeously told.
  2. Gulliver's Travels
    Strips the source material down to its recognizable parts and then builds something completely new out of them. Unfortunately, the result is entirely Lilliputian in ambition, even for a children's movie.
  3. Little Fockers
    Comedy has changed. Jack can only give his son-in-law the stink eye so many times before the whole "I'm watching you" pantomime gets stale.
  4. The Illusionist
    The many fans of the uniquely droll 2003 animation Oscar nominee "The Triplets of Belleville" will recognize the inventive hand-drawn sensibilities of French filmmaker Sylvain Chomet in his loving and lovely new feature The Illusionist.
  5. Megamind
    Too goofy-surreal to pack a lot of emotional punch, but it's antically light on its feet, with 3-D images that have a lustrous, gizmo-mad sci-fi clarity.
  6. How Do You Know
    How Do You Know asks really good questions but doesn't so much answer them as toss the ball from player to player until the clock runs out.
  7. Yogi Bear
    There's nothing particularly inventive in the plot or grade-school humor, but the movie skates by on the timeless, undemanding charm of watching a tie-wearing bear try to steal people's lunches.
  8. TRON: Legacy
    The sequel, more successfully (if less innocently), injects you into a luminous technological wonderland and asks you to be happy with the ride.
  9. True Grit
    Truer than the John Wayne showpiece and less gritty than the book, this True Grit is just tasty enough to leave movie lovers hungry for a missing spice.
  10. Due Date
    And so by the time the pair admire the Grand Canyon and, Due Date has lost its way, relying on its leading men to lead by charisma alone, even though their characters have nowhere interesting to go besides the happily-ever-after of dull, responsible male maturity.
  11. Cool It
    The telegenic Lomborg is the on-camera "star" of the show, while his angry critics growl on cue.
  12. Unstoppable
    The exchange of substance for speed may not appeal to all, but if you're on board you'll find it hard to disembark.
  13. Saw 3D
    Now that the series is, it can be said that the most disturbing thing about the Saw films is the way that they turn torture into a wink of megaplex vengeance. They're made, and consumed, as a big bloody joke, and that's scary.
  14. White Material
    French mood-and-feeling master filmmaker Claire Denis returns to the Africa of her youth for an intense, mysterious drama exploring revolution and loss.
  15. Love and Other Drugs
    An old-fashioned romance-and-sickness picture, a publicity-grabbing sex picture, an Apatow-lite horny-boys picture, and a liberal satire on pharmaceutical-industry excesses committed in pursuit of pill sales - all in one.
  16. Faster
    Faster grafts that genre's style onto a deadbeat script and leaves it to Johnson - as deadly focused as a gunsight - to make it all believable.
  17. Monsters
    Monsters is really a road-movie romance that tracks the burgeoning relationship between two strangers as they travel through the "infected" zone.
  18. Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench
    Damien Chazelle's extraordinary black-and-white retro dream of a feature debut.
  19. Heartless
    Unpredictability isn't this horror film's strength, but it's stylishly crafted and excellently acted, and it boasts an abundance of heart in every sense of the word.
  20. Tiny Furniture
    Tiny Furniture is proof, against steep odds, that there are no small stories, only small storytellers.
  21. The King's Speech
    Lest the audience miss a cue, Hooper and soundtrack composer Alexandre Desplat count on the ringing grandeur of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony - the famous second movement, no less - to amp the emotions.
  22. Tangled
    There's also a Disney den of big, comically dumb-looking bad guys who turn sweet when Rapunzel sings to them. Because Happily Ever After never goes out of fashion
  23. Burlesque
    Earnestly ersatz down to every spangle, dance move, plot turn, and line of hokum dialogue, Burlesque is a showbiz pic for these American Idol times - a time when we agree to pretend that mediocre mimicry of better artists is good enough to keep us entertained. We agree to pretend that quality is in the eye and ear of the undemanding beholder.
  24. Inspector Bellamy
    Depardieu and Marie Bunel (as Bellamy's wife) have a terrific interplay, but Chabrol's sharp direction can't quite rescue his fuzzy script.
  25. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 also bravely faces the future, slipping with expert ease among the thrilling mass of complications (and complicated set pieces) that Rowling throws fans in the final sprint, then guiding the faithful to the fate that awaits everyone in this world, the moment called The End.
  26. Rabbit Hole
    Eckhart shows a new kind of foreboding anger. He's powerful as a man who will do anything to crack the ice.
  27. The Tempest
    Theatrically ambitious, musically busy, and in the end cinematically inert - clearly reflects the authorship of myth-loving director Julie Taymor.
  28. The Fighter
    This one, as thoughtful as it is rousing, scores a TKO.
  29. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
    I'm confounded by the fact that, aside from the Pevensie siblings and their nicely obnoxious cousin, absolutely everything and everyone aboard the Dawn Treader looks one-dimensional.
  30. The Tourist
    The Tourist isn't a debacle, but it's a caper that's fatally low on carbonation.
