  1. Stage Beauty
    It's not as clever, or as consistently funny, or as well-cast as "Shakespeare in Love," but Richard Eyre's Stage Beauty is the most fun I've had with the Bard since that 1998 Oscar winner.
  2. Wedding Crashers
    Good, indecent fun starring two of the most amiable comedy actors around.
  3. Changing Times
    There isn't a flicker of chemistry between these old pros in Andre Techine's peculiar melodrama.
  4. Blood Diamond
    Blood Diamond is, in the vernacular of Old Hollywood, a rip-roaring adventure, the kind made in the '30s with Clark Gable and the handiest leading lady on contract at MGM.
  5. Freedom Writers
    I say bring 'em on, if the stories can be told as well, as convincingly and as inspirationally as Richard LaGravenese's Freedom Writers, an educational fantasy that happens to be mostly true.
  6. The Other Guys
    Wahlberg is surprisingly committed to the ridiculousness.
  7. Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon
    Friends of Shep discuss his often unorthodox business sense, especially in the music biz, as well as his general decency. The guy’s tale is full of funny anecdotes and celeb privilege, but short on pretension.
  8. Kelly & Cal
    This uneven directorial debut from Jen McGowan is notable mostly for a nicely understated turn from Juliette Lewis.
  9. Call Me Lucky
    Angry, quixotic, tragic, heroic — Crimmins’ life is stunning. Catch this portrait and you can definitely call yourself lucky.
  10. Something New
    A satisfying chick flick that follows all the usual rules of the modern romantic comedy except one - it's not stupid.

    Finding Fela!
    There’s nothing like seeing Fela himself — blowing his sax, expressing his unbridled sexuality and living a life like no other.
  12. Bright Future
    Bright is pretty to look at, but it's a slow-moving, meandering work that isn't as complex or mysterious as it appears.
  13. Ready Player One
    The movie is crammed with excitement and good humor.
  14. Proof
    Who knew a drama about numbers could be so thrilling?
  15. Jack Goes Boating
    Hoffman has a nice eye for detail, painting an empathetic portrait of lost souls that recalls 1955's still-powerful romance "Marty."

    In a Valley of Violence
    A film that's simultaneously heart-wrenching, hilarious and horrific.
  17. We Are X
    Whether or not the movie turns you into X-philes, Yoshiki is hard to shake.
  18. Café Society
    The rom-dram is wistful and wisecracking, boasts a polished ensemble and is such a period looker you wish you could time-travel to the Jazz Era.
  19. Peter Pan
    Both enchantingly old-fashioned and daringly modern.
  20. Nymphomaniac: Volume I
    Danish director Lars von Trier makes this tale of one woman’s banal sexual adventures into inadvertent comedy. The film makes an analogy between sex and fly-fishing — and fly-fishing comes off as more intriguing.
  21. Robots
    Visually, Robots is fun and imaginative. The wow factor is enhanced in the IMAX version, also opening today.
  22. Last Call at the Oasis
    Oasis also takes aim at the bottled-water industry, entertainingly calling in psychologists to break down our fears of what is - or isn't - contaminating what we drink.
  23. The Mystic Masseur
    There is a very sharp, funny critique of ambition and self-made gurus in The Mystic Masseur, but it is obscured by a softening bloat.

  24. Vengo
    Characteristically lacking in narrative -- but what it misses in traditional plot devices, it more than makes up for in passion.
  25. Looney Tunes: Back in Action
    I've laughed harder during a single "Road Runner" cartoon than I did throughout Back in Action.
  26. Blood Work
    Connelly's better-than-routine potboiler has a high-concept premise built for the movies, and it's the first of the former L.A. Times reporter's 11 crime novels to make the journey from bookshelf to big screen.
  27. In Search of a Midnight Kiss
    By the end, Holdridge has captured the bittersweet complexities of romance with a wisdom that proves surprisingly seductive.
  28. Cupcakes
    If this Semitic “Strictly Ballroom” and its campy, colorful characters (including a hummus baron!) don’t win you over, you may want to check your pulse.
  29. Shortbus
    Some viewers will call the whole business pornography, though it doesn't really qualify. The sex is blunt and enthusiastic, but arousing it ain't. In fact, when Shortbus arrives on DVD, viewers may be fast-forwarding through the sex to get to the acting.
  30. The Grey
    The gristle inside this movie is one of the things that save it from being simply a series of challenges.
