    Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror
    Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror is an excellent love letter to one of the longest-running films in cinema history. Linus O’Brien honors his father’s work, and it is felt throughout the entire film. Watching this terrific documentary will make you want to do the Time Warp and enter the B-movie world of Dr. Frank-N-Furter all over again!

    The Shining
    For a supposed mainstream movie, Kubrick’s The Shining isn’t very audience friendly. Half the time you have to guess what the hell is going on, and if you're not familiar with Kubrick's narrative style you’ll be completely lost.
  3. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
    Far and away the best of the Star Wars prequels (tough chore, that) and also holds its own with the hallowed films of the original trilogy.
  4. Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!)
    Quite frankly, the film looks terrible and moves with painful slowness, while the voice performances by both the juvenile and adult actors are so lacking in character that one could almost assume the cast performed their lines phonetically.

    Superman
    What Superman felt like was that someone had taken my childhood box of action figures and found a way to tell an exciting story with it.

    The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
    In a case where the most dangerous are kept dangerously close, here we have a rarity: a suspenseful, yet dramatic Western.
  7. Fracture
    Fracture may be smarter than the majority of movies out there, but it's not half as clever as it thinks it is.
  8. Departures
    On its own terms, Departures is a thing of rare and remarkable beauty.
  9. El Crimen Perfecto (The Perfect Crime)
    A wicked good time.

    The Italian Job
    Heist movies seem pretty quaint and analog in our era where high stakes crime is primarily electronic in nature. But until someone can make embezzlement cinematically interesting, we’re left with theft and this movie just gets away with it.

    Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That!
    The Beastie Boys have delivered the ultimate gift to their fans and the title couldn't be more perfect.

    Protagonist
    The film becomes at once an argument for the accuracy of fictional conventions and for the power of true, personal experiences.
  13. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
    The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent offers something for hardcore Cage fans, cinephiles, or anyone looking for something refreshing and unique. It’s original, funny, dramatic, and action-packed without the tonal whiplash one might expect from such an ambitious narrative.

    Whip It
    Whip It doesn’t just refer to whipping around the track or whipping ass. It’s about a girl who must whip herself into shape and grow up.
  15. Merchant Ivory
    Soucy’s documentary joyfully fulfills the mission of educating and entertaining, infused with the tremendous delight and loyalty of all those who worked with this seemingly magical production group.

    Climate of the Hunter
    I’m being overly harsh with Climate of the Hunter because it was frustrating to watch. I had to work hard to follow the story and figure out what was really happening between the characters and I find myself replaying various scenes to see what I missed.

    Dragonslayer
    In many ways, Dragonslayer is a realistic fairy tale. All of the classic pieces are here: heroes, bad guys, monsters, virgins in peril, mysticism and staggering odds.
  18. Primer
    Inspires plenty of head scratching and maybe a little irritation.

    40 Years in the Making: The Magic Music Movie
    If there was one reason to see 40 Years in the Making: The Magic Music Movie is for its music. Constantly playing in the background, you’ll find an appreciation for how good this band was, how a band this good could never find success, and how the group’s dynamic tore it down.
  20. Rustin
    Rustin is an important story well told, with an outstanding must-see lead performance.
  21. My Best Part
    The individual sequences, along with the confidence with which the two lead actors navigate the sometimes-turbulent currents, elevate the film into the realm of art. After all, sometimes it’s okay for the whole to be less than the sum of its parts.

    The Good Thief
    Nolte looks like a man with one foot in the grave and nothing to lose. He single-handedly rescues this caper flick from its own mediocre storyline.

    Moon
    Moon is one of those rare gems of the sci-fi genre that takes its acting as seriously as it treats its special effects.
  24. The Captain
    The film-craft is high quality, with the passion and care taken evident. Schwentke brings the brutal winter during wartime to realistic life. If you have historical interest in deep details of the war, or are fascinated by psychopathic war criminals, this might be a film for you.

    Forgetting Sarah Marshall
    While the film has some laugh out-loud moments, it’s very poorly constructed and what we see onscreen seems to be the victim of either bad editing, poor direction or a script that was rushed into production too quickly.

    Avatar: The Way of Water
    I definitely enjoyed Avatar: The Way of Water much more than the first. Its message of family and the portrayal of a strong father and mother protecting their children is refreshing.
  27. Summer of Sam
    Lee gives us cross-section of characters, almost none of whom escape the summer unchanged.

    Snow Angels
    With a deep understanding of his characters, Green has crafted a film that's devastating and uplifting without sounding a false note.

    Harmony and Me
    Once you get into the groove of Harmony and Me and realize the film is not only very tightly scripted, hilarious, and quite brilliantly acted, you’ll quickly be won over.
  30. The Blackening
    While it will not win many (if any) awards, The Blackening is hands down the best time that has been offered up in a movie theater since the Dungeons and Dragons movie last March. This horror comedy plays with genre conventions in a sparkling and vividly delightful way.
