  1. Triad Election
    Plenty of films owe a debt to "The Godfather," but it's rare to see inspiration used as successfully as it is here.
  2. Hot Fuzz
    Pegg and Wright are armed with an endlessly impressive arsenal of attention grabbers, from witty editing tricks to a wry soundtrack and a joke-packed script that demands multiple viewings.
  3. Vacancy
    Short, sharp and to the point, Vacancy has a single goal, and that is to scare the hell out of you.
  4. Fracture
    The kind of thriller we've seen a thousand times before. Fortunately, nobody told leads, Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins, both of whom devoutly believe they're in another, better movie.
  5. In the Land of Women
    Despite its desperate attempts to appeal to every possible age group, there is no obvious audience for this movie.
  6. The Valet
    An old-fashioned joy.
  7. Stephanie Daley
    This is first-rate stuff.
  8. The Tripper
    A convoluted mess of a horror movie.
  9. Red Road
    The movie's intense focus skillfully exposes the raw pain just under the skin of a seemingly ordinary citizen.
  10. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters
    There's nothing here for kids, or, for that matter, anyone who claims to be an adult. But if the title makes perfect sense to you, the movie probably will, too.
  11. Pathfinder
    After the first 1,000 or so beheadings, impalements and severed limbs, Pathfinder's slash may just induce sleep.
  12. Perfect Stranger
    Think you'd be happy watching Berry do little more than look beautiful? Perfect Stranger gives you plenty of opportunity to find out.
  13. Redline
    If there's a lesson to be found in this shameless vanity project, it's that money can buy anything. Even a movie.
  14. Everything's Gone Green
    The dialogue does have Coupland's characteristic snap, but like its mellow hero, the movie takes the easy route just a little too often.
  15. Lonely Hearts
    Good as she is, the effortlessly magnetic Hayek just can't sell the role of a pathetic soul whose deep insecurities turn her into a sociopath. And if she has too much charisma, Leto, as the smooth Lothario, simply doesn't have enough.
  16. Private Fears in Public Places
    The film is beautifully shot and edited, but these emotional snapshots won't stay long in the memory.
  17. Year of the Dog
    While some may be put off by Peggy's wild-eyed mania, and the film's broadly comic tone, Shannon makes this lost spirit strikingly sympathetic.
  18. Disturbia
    What Disturbia lacks in complexity, it makes up for in witty jokes, sneaky jolts and a timeless lesson: If you've got windows, someone's always watching.
  19. Grindhouse
    Critics are already comparing the two movies and largely agreeing that Tarantino?s story about a psychopathic stuntman who targets women for highway carnage is the best. I disagree.
  20. The Hoax
    It's hard to get a fix on what Hallstrom had in mind. The first half of the movie plays like a frenetic caper comedy...The second half turns psychologically dark.
  21. The TV Set
    Sigourney Weaver is a riot in the cynical Faye Dunaway network boss role.
  22. Whole New Thing
    Slight Canadian coming-of-age drama.
  23. The Reaping
    The script, which is rarely smart and barely scary, offers little more than a checklist of panic-inducing plagues, from locusts to boils to bad Southern accents.
  24. Are We Done Yet?
    After allowing sadistic violence and whining children to invade his movie like a horde of termites, Carr tries to put one over on us by tacking on a sentimental ending. But as any homeowner could have told him, you can't disguise a weak foundation with a cheap finish.
  25. Firehouse Dog
    If Firehouse Dog was on cable, where it belongs, it would make a passable diversion from homework or chores. But a kid would have to be pretty desperate to leave the house - and waste allowance money - for this modest distraction.
  26. Black Book
    Like Stone in "Basic Instinct," van Houten has an audacity to match Verhoeven's. Hers is a role that Bette Davis would have killed Ingrid Bergman for, and she is so good in it that it seems only a matter of time before she'll star in a real Hollywood movie - as opposed to this pretender.
  27. Blades of Glory
    The casting of Ferrell and Heder turns out to be inspired. The direction, by a pair of NYU grads who've only made TV commercials and two short films, is pitch-perfect. And - miraculously - the skating sequences are passably realistic.
  28. The Lookout
    Though The Lookout is eventually a genre film, with a tense, bang-up ending, it is also a thoughtful study of a young man trying to make sense of a world that he is having to learn all over again.
  29. Meet the Robinsons
    It takes nearly an hour before Stephen J. Anderson's 3-D, animated comedy Meet the Robinsons begins to make sense, and when it does, the film literally takes off. But unless you're familiar with the children's book by William Joyce from which it's adapted, that first hour is a cluttered, noisy, nearly unendurable mess.
  30. After the Wedding
    The characters may suffer once the bride walks down the aisle, but Bier, Jensen and their first-rate cast work together like a match made in heaven.
