  1. Girls Can't Swim
    Sensitive and thoughtful coming-of-age story.
    • New York Daily News
  2. Chelsea Walls
    The actor's directorial debut is a lugubriously poetic homage to the famed Chelsea Hotel, which is to New York's artistic and beatnik past what Ellis Island is to the story of American immigration.
  3. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
    Vardalos is a breath of fresh air. After all the little nipped and tucked bunnies we've been seeing onscreen for so long, we forget what real women look like.
    • New York Daily News
  4. The Scorpion King
    Has been fine-tuned for adolescent boys, from the hectic pace right down to the way Cassandra's breasts are always barely draped.
    • New York Daily News
  5. Murder by Numbers
    Ultimately, Murder by Numbers has been reduced to a tease, giving us a hint -- mostly through the fine performances of Gosling, who creates a charismatic sociopath, and Pitt, who's character seems genuinely troubled -- of the kind of relevant social drama it might have been.

  6. Nine Queens
    Clever, compelling, funny and unpredictable, and it has a lollapa-looza of an ending.
    • New York Daily News
  7. World Traveler
    Crudup gives it his best, but his character is so economically drawn, there's hardly anything there -- certainly nothing likable.
    • New York Daily News
  8. Murderous Maids
    Denis' slow, deliberate style shuns typical suspense techniques, relying instead on something far more effective: a stunning performance by Testud.
  9. Mutant Aliens
    This lackluster outing is mostly just a retread of past glories.
  10. The Triumph of Love
    The always reliable Kingsley and Shaw are hilarious, and if the movie isn't quite a triumph, it's still far better than the junk food currently cluttering movie screens.
    • New York Daily News
  11. Human Nature
    Fresh and often very funny, and it makes its point that when our native urges conflict with social norms, the former shall give in to the latter, or else.
    • New York Daily News
  12. New Best Friend
    Preposterous collegiate drama that exists simply to show pretty girls kissing, pretty boys undressing and pretty people of every sexual orientation drinking, doing drugs and otherwise wreaking postadolescent havoc.
  13. Changing Lanes
    Gets too caught up in its escalating violence and strained-to-bursting moral subtexts. It's the blood of souls drenching the screen, and it's a hideous sight to behold.
    • New York Daily News
  14. Frailty
    There's a good little psychological thriller buried underneath all the manufactured shocks, in the story of a powerless child standing alone against a parent's mental illness.
    • New York Daily News
  15. The Cat's Meow
    Dunst makes Davies the most confident and interesting person aboard the Oneida and makes this voyage almost, but not quite, worth taking.
    • New York Daily News
  16. The Sweetest Thing
    This vulgar, equal-opportunity chick flick aims pretty low.
    • New York Daily News
  17. The Other Side of Heaven
    Earnest, fact-based drama is marred only by the fact that it wants desperately to save your soul.
    • New York Daily News
  18. Echoes
    Intriguing almost in spite of itself.
  19. Lucky Break
    Without the surprise, realism, audacity and upstart cheekiness -- pun intended -- that made "The Full Monty's" blue-collar strippers so irresistible.
    • New York Daily News
  20. Astoria
    Fels like an awkward student film.
  21. The Komediant
    Works on two levels: Goldfinger does a terrific job exploring the broader history of Yiddish theater, while also homing in on the compelling story of the Burstein family itself.
  22. Les Destinées
    As befits a production of impeccable French pedigree, the acting, set design and lush cinematography are all outstanding. But the story is told so slowly.
    • New York Daily News
  23. High Crimes
    Judd has genuine movie star magnetism -- beauty, intelligence, presence and talent to spare. In the old studio days, she'd be Ingrid Bergman by now.
    • New York Daily News
  24. Big Trouble
    A mediocre movie that will be wiped from its stars' résumés with head-spinning speed.
    • New York Daily News
  25. Van Wilder
    A movie that shouldn't be allowed on the same campus as "Animal House."
    • New York Daily News
  26. Crush
    The tragedy that separates the Good Crush from the Bad Crush is a cleaver that severs the film's relationship with reality.
    • New York Daily News
  27. The Rookie
    Commits the sin of a hundred sports biographies in overselling its inherent drama.
    • New York Daily News
  28. No Such Thing
    The film's pace is just plain wacky, moving with the haste of a receding glacier most of the time, but then jumping ahead as if Hartley hit the gas on a time machine.
  29. Time Out
    A well-crafted indictment of the dark side of the modern work ethic.
    • New York Daily News
  30. The Piano Teacher
    Haneke has made a masterly, disturbing movie.
