  1. A Decade Under the Influence
    Whether you lived through the period and will have fond memories jostled, or are scouting for future DVD pleasures, the surest way to see a good movie in a theater this week is to see one about them.
  2. Onmyoji: The Yin Yang Master
    It clearly wants to be more, but it's failed by its lightweight leads.
  3. Malibu's Most Wanted
    An unerring sign of the awfulness of Malibu's Most Wanted is a series of the least funny outtakes ever appended to a movie's closing credits.
  4. Venus and Mars
    The ideal movie for people too lazy to read a Harlequin romance, this by-the-numbers love story doesn't offer a single surprise.
  5. Medea
    It's not the best of von Trier, but the movie is shot in an unforgettable, haunting style that evokes both Bergman and the silent era.
  6. Lilya 4-Ever
    a despairing movie that you can't look away from, though you'll wish you could.
  7. Holes
    A great family movie, with a terrifically empathetic young hero, strong messages about the powers of familial love and friendship, buried treasure and enough action to keep the little ones from getting bored.
  8. Winged Migration
    Breathtaking.
  9. Bulletproof Monk
    The picture's a dud... Instead of Chow's gravitas rubbing off on the kid, Scott's dude-ness dilutes Chow's authority.
  10. Chasing Papi
    It's hard to say which is worse: The fact that 20th Century Fox believes this sour, sexist fantasy reflects anyone's actual experience or that Hollywood is so woefully behind the cultural curve.
  11. Love and Diane
    Amazing... There are only a finite number of filmmakers with the devotion, patience and ability to tease out these stories.
  12. Samehada otoko to momojiri onna
    Its crazy non sequiturs and anything-goes performances do lend it a certain cult appeal.
  13. A Mighty Wind
    The wheezy Mighty Wind can't blow out the candle of this group's first musical mockumentary, 1984's "This Is Spinal Tap."
  14. The Young Unknowns
    Jelski's dialogue is razor sharp and she got a terrific performance from the relatively inexperienced Gummersall, who runs a gamut of emotions and holds the screen like a seasoned star.
  15. Marion Bridge
    This Canadian film is extraordinarily low-key, considering the explosive secrets the sisters unearth, but that is part of its strength.
  16. Anger Management
    Has hell frozen over? Not only is Jack Nicholson starring in a buddy movie alongside Adam Sandler, but of the two, Sandler's low-key approach is preferable.
  17. XX/XY
    An ongoing problem is the complete lack of chemistry between the leads.
  18. Better Luck Tomorrow
    The crime isn't that the movie's message is amoral, but that it goes totally unexamined, as if the recess bell rang too early.
  19. Ghosts of the Abyss
    Though younger fans of Cameron's 1997 blockbuster may be a little disappointed at the lack of, well, Leo, Cameron persuades us to share his obsession with the ship's history.
  20. House of 1000 Corpses
    Zombie's sense of fun gets buried under the growing pile of bodies, and eventually, we're left with little more than a frenzy of sadism.
  21. DysFunktional Family
    The whole nutty crew finds it rollicking good fun to see themselves lampooned. But there is an unmistakable sorrow behind the humor.
  22. Levity
    Where's the levity, you ask? There is none, or rather, there is none that Manuel can perceive.
  23. Manna from Heaven
    Regrettably, neither cast nor crew is able to save it from itself.
  24. Cowboy Bebop the Movie: Knockin' on Heaven's Door
    Despite the spectacularly cool opening credits and some first-rate animation, the story starts to flag about halfway through.
  25. The Man Without a Past
    A solid delight, the sort of cinematic concoction you might expect from a time-warp collaboration between Preston Sturges and Jim Jarmusch.
  26. What a Girl Wants
    Irritating wish-fulfillment movie.
  27. Phone Booth
    Farrell, adding to the case for his impending stardom, locks into his role with the laser precision of the sniper's rifle scope.
  28. A Man Apart
    The film would be totally unwatchable without the very real charisma of Diesel.
  29. The Good Thief
    With his haggard good looks and bearish presence, Nolte is the main event in this colorful three-ring circus of a heist picture.
  30. Cet amour-là
    Dayan's weakly structured biopic Cet Amour-là is, to be kind, less than inspired. But as a showcase for legendary French actress Jeanne Moreau, it's a tour de force.
