  1. In quiet, often dream-like interludes that frequently burst open into scenes of brutal verbal or physical violence, director Vincent Grashaw explores what it’s like to be Edwin, so battered by anxiety and anger and a crushing sense of unfairness that he hardly sleeps at night.
  2. RED
    Unfortunately, while RED's stars may have gotten better with age, its many clichés have not.
  3. More than ever, Johnny Knoxville and his boys belong to a very elite club of idiocy. They martyr themselves for our diversion, driven at every moment to ask: Are you not entertained?
  4. A rivetingly journalistic account of a scoundrel's rise and fall.
  5. Arnold Schwarzenegger appears as the rare politician who supports reform in this timely exposé of how our democracy has slipped off its tracks.
  6. This pleasantly rote movie will rouse you.
  7. Now it's just some thin chick in her underwear, kicking butt.
  8. It's Kind of a Funny Story may be the first psych-ward drama to draw on John Hughes movies for tonal reference.
  9. There's something about Holly: She's the most ridiculous, irritating, two-dimensional rom-com heroine since...Katherine Heigl's last rom-com.
  10. By the end of Nowhere Boy, you'll feel you know John Lennon better than you ever did.
  11. Wes Craven's first new movie in five years is a brainless, joyless, and yes, you might even say, soulless teen slasher.
  12. This tender documentary considers the mysteries of both art and coping.
  13. An aggressively inept demon-seed chiller starring a bunch of grown-ups who should've known better.
  14. The power of The Social Network is that Zuckerberg is a weasel with a mission that can never be dismissed. The movie suggests that he may have built his ambivalence about human connection into Facebook's very DNA. That's what makes him a jerk-hero for our time.
  15. The surprise of Let Me In is that director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) hasn't just remade the Swedish cult vampire film "Let the Right One In" into a more fluid and visceral movie. He's made it more dangerous.
  16. As a movie, Freakonomics is like Jujubes for the brain - it starts to get cloying halfway through the box.
  17. It's a minimalist "Sideways," not so much mumblecore as talkycore.
  18. A lot of Money Never Sleeps - too much - is about Gekko père's desire to reconnect with his very angry daughter.
  19. Yes, You Again. We've met before.

    Director Zack Snyder (300) has crafted the rare 3-D eyegasm that's worth the premium ticket price.
  20. The political angle is gratuitous, even foolish, and certainly a distraction from the movie's visual strengths.
  21. Director Gaspar Noé proved a shock poet in "Irreversible" (2003). In Enter the Void, he's a shockingly tedious show-off.
  22. Powerful, passionate, and potentially revolution-inducing documentary.
  23. The best scenes are hilarious sessions between the great Gemma Jones and the wonderful Pauline Collins as a charlatan fortune-teller.
  24. Easy A has some agreeable fast banter, but it's so self-consciously stylized that it wears you out.
  25. Underwhelming in the style of most off-brand CG, Alpha and Omega is livened by pretty Rocky Mountain backdrops and leadened by stock characters and the wolves' weirdly prissy behavior.
  26. A pocket-size supernatural thriller that plays a bit like Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians" retold by an unstable Sunday School teacher.
  27. A rich, dark, pulpy mess of entanglements that fulfills all the requirements of the genre, and is told with an ease and gusto that make the pulp tasty.
  28. In Catfish, the camera's-rolling readiness to trawl for drama leaves a slimy aftertaste.

    It's a very tony fantasy of class oppression and fascist medical exploitation (themes that may speak louder in England), but it's a lyrically inert movie.
