  1. The Brothers Solomon
    The upbeat brothers are full of sweetness and love, but the script is made of taffy, and if you can chew and laugh at the same time, you're welcome to it.
  2. The Bubble
    Fox stumbles a little at the end, which is unnecessarily exaggerated. He should have trusted his own talent - it's the attention to minor details that makes his work so memorable.
  3. The Hunting Party
    Everything about this political thriller is ridiculous.
  4. The Inner Life of Martin Frost
    Paul Auster's suffocating romance makes you feel as if you're helplessly stuck inside the head of the most pretentious person you know.
  5. I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With
    Garlin, like Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine in "Marty," is good company, even when his out-of-control eating and self-loathing threaten to overwhelm him.
  6. Death Sentence
    Bacon's performance in "Saw" creator James Wan's laughably extreme revenge thriller Death Sentence is six degrees of ham.
  7. Exiled
    The Macao settings are beautifully rendered, and the dark humor is often very funny. But it is noisy.
  8. Halloween (2007)
    There is just no tension built prior to the murders.
  9. Self Medicated
    The vision of him pretending to be a sullen teen is a distraction the movie never overcomes.
  10. The Nines
    It's an intricate, at times incoherent, but often funny and consistently fascinating trio of stories with the same actors in different but related roles.
  11. Balls of Fury
    If it's not quite the best Will Ferrell movie he never made, Balls of Fury is, at the very least, a lot funnier than it has a right to be.
  12. The Monastery: Mr. Vig and the Nun
    It may be that Gronkjaer couldn't get the nun to open up to her. But not knowing much about her creates an awkward imbalance that Vig, fascinating as he is, can't overcome.
  13. Closing Escrow
    If you can watch it without weeping over your own predicament, you'll see some serious talent bursting out.
  14. Dedication
    It's a romantic comedy, though neither funny nor romantic. It's a ghost story, though not scary. It's a satire about publishing, but without teeth.
  15. Deep Water
    This fine documentary mixes archival footage, interviews with the sailor's family and sponsors, and - most amazingly - excerpts from the film and audiotape diary kept by Crowhurst.
  16. The Hottest State
    Hawke, who is very good as the young man's estranged father, had best stick to what he does best.
  17. Illegal Tender
    What kind of movie is misdirected, poorly acted, preposterously written--and still wholly entertaining? A B-movie, of course. While Illegal Tender has misguided pretensions towards Serious Filmmaking, it's surprisingly likeable if you see it instead as a cheesy thriller good for a lazy Friday night.
  18. Mr. Bean's Vacation
    There are certain elements in life that you either have a taste for, or you don't. Like coffee. Cats. And Mr. Bean.
  19. The Nanny Diaries
    Despite some clever early fantasy scenes, Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini's adaptation of best seller The Nanny Diaries won't make Bridget Jones give up her writing.
  20. Resurrecting the Champ
    The film itself is a tedious melodrama whose sole saving grace is the performance of Samuel L. Jackson as Tommy Kincaid.
  21. Right at Your Door
    The movie has an ironic and unpredictable ending, but it doesn't wash away the sour taste of Brad's behavior.
  22. September Dawn
    September Dawn, written by an evangelical Christian, may be the worst historical drama ever made.
  23. Them
    If you want an hour or so of terror, put your faith in Them.
  24. Death at a Funeral
    It takes a while for Frank Oz's ensemble black comedy Death at a Funeral to hit its deliriously nutty stride. But when it does, the laughs don't stop until the movie, like the subject of its family get-together, has taken its last breath.
  25. Primo Levi's Journey
    The film lacks a certain coherence, and Levi - one of Italy's most important postwar writers - is mostly relegated to an excuse for a sociopolitical travelogue.
  26. Superbad
    There is a hint of sentimentality among the pals at the end, but not enough to offset the film's harmless combination of camaraderie and wished-for - oh, how they wish for it - debauchery.
  27. The 11th Hour
    If you get through the first hour without slitting your throat, the cautiously optimistic last third offers some intriguing options.
  28. The Invasion
    Obliterating the original structure and intent of "Body Snatchers" is cinema-lit blasphemy.
  29. The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
    Heartbreaking and hilarious.
  30. Delirious
    In the end, I don't know that Delirious has all that much to say about the fame game, but you'll laugh nonetheless.
