  1. L'Auberge Espagnole
    Beware of movies whose creators boast of the little effort involved. Little reward is what you're likely to get.
  2. The Warrior
    The title-character's redemption comes very slowly. But if you have patience, this is a stately, beautifully composed story.
  3. Red Flag
    Owing a debt to Albert Brooks’ early comedies, Red Flag might be too much if it weren’t just right.
  4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I
    Don't you expect any hand-holding, either. Director David Yates throws us straight into Harry's waking nightmare, as he searches for a way to defeat Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) while keeping himself and his friends alive.

    The Curse of Frankenstein
    For the new film generation, some minor chills are offered in this well-done production. [08 Aug 1957]
    • New York Daily News
  6. The Aggressives
    The charismatic young women who populate Daniel Peddle's illuminating documentary are vibrant proof that there's still an untold story waiting around every New York City corner.

    Ondine
    Jordan's screenplay aims for a romanticism that the beautiful but stiff Bachleda is unable to fulfill. And the ending, which injects the film's dreamy sensibility with an ugly note of realism, crashes over everything like a frigid wave.
  8. Down in the Valley
    The movie turns into something strange and annoying, an attempted blend of a suburban thriller with an Old West shoot-'em-up.
  9. Monsieur N.
    The second half of Antoine de Caunes' Monsieur N., about the post-exile life and death of Napoleon, plays less like a movie than a suggestion for one. This is a great disappointment because the first half is very cinematic and very compelling.
  10. We Are What We Are
    This gruesome, allegorical drama is dark and unsettling, but not so original that it begs to be let in.
  11. In a Better World
    World is grounded, offering up a rare case of well-earned hopefulness.
  12. Point and Shoot
    A compelling account of an ordinary guy who transformed himself through extraordinary circumstance.
  13. James' Journey to Jerusalem
    Has something to add about the toll Western society takes on spiritual values, and the ugliness of consumerism.
  14. Close to Home
    Filmmakers Vardit Bilu and Dalia Hagar don't seem as interested in taking sides as they do in exploring universal themes.
  15. Outrage
    Some of the accusations feel more sordid than satisfying.
  16. Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope
    Affectionate but also winking (the "Star Wars"-riff title gives away its lack of objectivity), with a good history of how far fandom has come, "A Fan's Hope" is really for those who've turned to the far side, but is ready to turn on a tractor beam for everyone else.

    The Rover
    On the bright side, Robert Pattinson’s pretty good in The Rover. Unfortunately, the movie isn’t.
  18. Dr T and the Women
    One of the curmudgeonly director's sweetest films, and features one of Richard Gere's most affecting performances.
  19. About Adam
    With few laughs and no real poignancy, the movie's success rests squarely on Adam's oft-naked shoulders.
  20. Napoleon Dynamite
    With the exception of one truly glorious dance solo, the movie treats its hero - and his equally uncool family - with undisguised disdain.
  21. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
    Missing beneath its fabulous surface, however, is anything like a beating heart.
  22. Marie Antoinette
    Coppola won't win any Oscars, but the movie is a contender for cinematography, costumes and production design, and it's a lock for Prettiest Pastries.
  23. Cold Weather
    Unfortunately, the movie doesn't have enough going on to keep us engaged, but writer-director Aaron Katz has a confident style and a way with small moments.
  24. Interview
    The first of three planned remakes of Dutch films by the late Theo van Gogh, Steve Buscemi's Interview takes the most unnatural act in human intercourse - the celebrity interview - and makes an explosively funny two-character psychodrama out of it.
  25. Cavite
    The hand-held camera work gives the film an effective documentary pulse, but it adds up to only half a movie.
  26. Breath Made Visible: Anna Halprin
    Dance aficionados are the most obvious audience for this stirring chronicle, but anyone should to be able to find inspiration in Halprin's strikingly open-minded outlook.
  27. Sunshine
    The whole thing burns out well before the director reaches his ­final destination.
  28. The Prince of Egypt
    Apt to scare kids. [18 December 1998, p.72]
    • New York Daily News
  29. Mother and Child
    Very few actual mothers will appreciate the manipulative ending, which even a child could spot coming an hour away.
  30. The Beautiful Country
    Bai Ling plays a resourceful prostitute from a Malaysian refugee camp who grows harder and more alienated by the day. Nick Nolte, Tim Roth and Temuera Morrison offer strong supporting performances.
