  1. 25th Hour
    To say Spike Lee is repeating himself is itself repetitious -- he is getting B-O-R-I-N-G!
  2. The Fault in Our Stars
    The layered, tuned-in adaptation by Michael H. Weber and Scott Neustadter avoids calculated sentiment.
  3. Welcome to Me
    Kristen Wiig is scary. That’s a good thing. It’s part of her appeal as a comedian, and crucial in the funny-weird comedy-drama Welcome to Me, which uses the working-without-a-net aspect of Wiig’s humor to unsettling effect.
  4. 21 Jump Street
    Through it all, Tatum and Hill are totally winning.
  5. Vodka Lemon
    Saleem makes clever use of imagery, with the beautiful, snow-filled vistas representing his characters' personal and social isolation. But "Vodka" moves about as fast as the distant ice caps melt.
  6. Redbelt
    Redbelt will fascinate those who share David Mamet's interest in mixed martial arts. But its hold may be weaker on those who don't.
  7. Fair Game
    Though based on a true story with a well-known outcome, Doug Liman's Fair Game is as suspenseful as any fictional thriller -- and considerably more tragic.
  8. Good Morning, Night
    Though he doesn't possess the dangerous confusion of his tragically misguided heroes, veteran director Marco Bellocchio does share their capacity for raising thought-provoking points that end in an ineffectual tangle.
  9. World's Greatest Dad
    Sadly, once the movie shifts gears, it becomes a timid "Donnie Darko."
  10. Around the World in 80 Days
    As far as its entertainment value goes, the picture should be a smash hit, as its impresario has inveigled so many of the top players of the day to put in an appearance on the screen, that it is the most star-studded film of all time. It is also an eye-filling travelogue, an exciting adventure and a very funny film.
  11. The Drop
    Like Gandolfini, the deep Brooklyn of The Drop is formidable, bona fide and memorable.
  12. The Company Men
    The Company Men recalls 1946's great post-World War II drama "The Best Years of Our Lives," and the reason isn't simply its trio of protagonists.
  13. Chicago 10
    A provocative reflection of its rule-breaking subjects, Brett Morgen's political documentary re-examines the past while drawing unmissable parallels to the present.
  14. Goyangileul butaghae
    Viewers of first-time director Jeong Jae-eun's sober dissection of dismal day-to-day rituals may want to throw themselves into the brackish water long before the movie is over.
  15. Divided We Fall
    Parts of the movie play like French farce, but ultimately Hrebejk uses very simple cadences to unveil, movingly, the big picture.
  16. The Wild Thornberrys Movie
    So well intentioned that its flaws may be generously overlooked by parents desperately planning activities for school breaks.
  17. Kill Bill: Vol. 1
    This long-awaited movie has been unwisely chopped into two pieces -- the second is due in February -- when it really needed to be one long, delirious ride.
  18. Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself
    A story about people learning to know themselves through relationships to others -- delivered with gentle, offbeat humor.
  19. 3 Backyards
    From the insistently discordant score to each overthought shot, this triad of stories feels self-conscious and deliberately arty rather than heartfelt.
  20. The Monster
    Bertino is just concerned with making you feel for his characters — and that he manages to do competently, despite their deep flaws. Well, that and spill some popcorn along the way.
  21. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
    Talk about style over substance: The sheer volume of musical, comic-strip and video-game influences, riffs and licks in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" can get exhausting, but they also are what lift this romantic coming-of-age tale from this world to someplace totally ... else.
  22. Operation Filmmaker
    Davenport herself seems stunned by how complicated the story turns out to be, which just makes her movie all the more worthwhile.
  23. The Go-Getter
    The sort of discovery meant to be savored by the few who find it, The Go-Getter was made for anyone who ever felt stuck, or alone, or desperate to find their place in the world.
  24. Crazy Love
    In Crazy Love, friends of Burt and Linda express as much confusion over their relationship as we feel, and the Pugaches themselves make an unconvincing case for theirs being a love that conquered all. On the contrary, love doesn't seem to have had anything to do with them. She married him out of desperation, and he pursued her out of a sense of entitlement.
  25. The Exploding Girl
    This quietly poetic little gem contains many beautiful things, not least of which is leading lady Zoe Kazan, who lets every scene billow and swirl around her effortlessly.
  26. Starter for 10
    This is cheeky sitcom in a minor key, and fated to be a mere footnote on McAvoy's resume.
  27. Intimacy
    Some people will want to call it pornography. In one respect, it's the opposite.
  28. The Cuckoo
    By the time you've worked through the allegorical implications, you may be wondering why you didn't just go see "Charlie's Angels."
  29. Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator
    Stoked supplies a unique perspective on the hazards of rock-star fame that went with the sport's explosion for a band of rebels who didn't see it coming -- or going.
  30. 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.
