  1. The Rocker
    Wilson works overtime to hold Peter Cattaneo's flimsy comedy together.
  2. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
    The latest indignity.
  3. Vicky Cristina Barcelona
    There are two stormy performances from Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz that elevate Allen's melancholy thoughts on love and relationships.
  4. The Girl Cut in Two
    Velvety storytelling still feels more thawed-out than heated.
  5. Henry Poole Is Here
    It's easy to see how a film so unafraid of religious touchstones could become a phenomenon among the faithful. Nonbelievers, however, need not apply.
  6. Fly Me to the Moon 3D
    Forgive us for being demanding, but shouldn't an animated kids movie like this one be, at the very least, fun? Cute? Watchable?
  7. Tropic Thunder
    Although this ­satire of Hollywood inanity isn't the comic ­classic it could have been, Downey's gonzo performance is a must-see.
  8. Elegy
    Roth's works are particularly hard to do justice to onscreen, perhaps because the celebrated author's personality is really in his words
  9. Pineapple Express
    When "Pineapple" goes from ganja to genre, it sours.
  10. Bottle Shock
    Unfortunately, Miller never finds the right balance, so while there are some sweet notes, the pileup of clichés ultimately leaves a slightly acrid aftertaste.
  11. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
    The reason this franchise has been so successful - both on film and in Ann Brashares' original novels - is that, just like the jeans, it suits the needs of vastly different girls.
  12. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
    Boredom is the very basis of this sequel, at least at the beginning.
  13. Swing Vote
    A good-ol'-boy civics lesson that's too scattered to achieve its predictable goals.
  14. In Search of a Midnight Kiss
    By the end, Holdridge has captured the bittersweet complexities of romance with a wisdom that proves surprisingly seductive.
  15. America the Beautiful
    Often insightful and more than a little depressing, this is a story that only gets uglier as it goes on.
  16. Frozen River
    Has moments of honesty, but more often the barren landscape - both outside and inside - drains the emotions out of the film.
  17. The X Files: I Want to Believe
    The truth is, the mystery pales next to the best "X-Files" plots. But fans will appreciate sly references to past episodes, an unexpected appearance from an old friend and the still-poignant bond our heroes share.
  18. Step Brothers
    So that's three snickers, not counting the Bush quote, 'cause including that one ain't fair, man.
  19. American Teen
    The kids here do come across as genuine people, struggling with issues everyone can understand.
  20. Baghead
    Anybody who missed 2006's excellent indie "The Puffy Chair" has another chance to discover the off-kilter world of the Duplass brothers.
  21. Brideshead Revisited
    May feel especially like a statue covered in drapery. Unfortunately, the movie's attempts to steam things up feel about as exciting as an after-dinner mint.
  22. Bustin' Down the Door
    Some of the talk gets a little bombastic, but it's hard to deny the thrill involved.
  23. CSNY/Déjà Vu
    "I hate this stinkin' war," Neil Young announces in this chronicle of CSNY's "Freedom of Speech Tour," and the rest of the movie is just as unapologetically blunt.
  24. Man on Wire
    History has made his midair stroll meaningful, but the film shows how even then, everyone - from Petit to his accomplices to the cops who were waiting for him atop the North Tower - recognized the stunt's crazy poetry.
  25. Boy A
    If Hitchcock had done a coming-of-age drama, it might have resembled this haunting, nervous, sad movie about an early twentysomething.
  26. The Dark Knight
    Twisted, tortured, terrifying - and terrific.
  27. Mamma Mia!
    On the scale of modern musical adaptations, it's not a disaster of "The Producers" proportions. But it is missing the razzle-dazzle of a success like "Chicago."
  28. Space Chimps
    And then there is the most annoying animated sidekick in a long time: a bulb-headed, trying-to-be-cute glow creature called Kilowatt (Kristen Chenoweth), who sings an ear-piercing, high-pitched note when it's scared, which is often.
  29. A Very British Gangster
    Charismatic and complicated, Noonan tries to run the movie the way he runs his town. But while the director sometimes appears to be glorifying Noonan's choices, reminders of uncomfortable reality intrude regularly.
  30. The Doorman
    Built on an amusing idea that can't quite support an entire movie, Wayne Price's comedic debut might have made a terrific short.
