  1. My Best Friend
    Mildly entertaining trifle.
  2. Talk to Me
    Despite being abandoned in the late going by his director, Cheadle gives one of the year's most fully realized performances, and Henson is a revelation.
  3. Tekkonkinkreet
    As intriguing and unusual as its title, this anime debut from CGI mastermind Michael Arias bursts with enough ideas for three movies.
  4. Drama/Mex
    Visually arresting but thematically uneven, Gerardo Naranjo's fictional snapshot of a gritty Mexican beach is simply too desperate to shock us.

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    It's action-packed, darker, more epic and thankfully schmaltz-free. And it's the best "Harry Potter" film yet.
  6. Joshua
    Terrifically sneaky psychological thriller, which takes great pleasure in watching carefully constructed family values come tumbling down.
  7. Introducing the Dwights
    If you find a movie with a more annoying central performance than the one given by Brenda Blethyn in Cherie Nowlan's Introducing the Dwights, keep it to yourself.
  8. Rescue Dawn
    There is a great movie in Werner Herzog's Vietnam saga, Rescue Dawn. Unfortunately, it's about 30 minutes long.
  9. Transformers
    A classic Michael Bay mega-movie. Interested in plot and character development? Move along. You're blocking the view.
  10. License to Wed
    Rev. Robin Williams goes from mildly comic to downright creepy.
  11. Sicko
    Moore's most assured, least antagonistic and potentially most important film.
  12. Ratatouille
    A gorgeous, wonderfully inventive computer-animated comedy.
  13. Evening
    Evening is a case study in how a subtly evocative book can elude the most well-intentioned filmmakers and some of our finest actors.
  14. One to Another
    The confusing time line of Pascal Arnold and Jean-Marc Barr's bizarre tale of sibling romance, murder and obsession is just one of its problems. The others are the romance, the murder and the obsession.
  15. Vitus
    A fairly average movie about a very unusual child, Vitus does have an earnest charm.
  16. Live Free or Die Hard
    The action in this fast-paced, hysterically overproduced and surprisingly entertaining film is as realistic as a Road Runner cartoon.
  17. Ghosts of Cité Soleil
    Dives into the brutal heart of a place most people would avoid at all cost.
  18. In Between Days
    While Kim is unable to keep us riveted on her near-silent performance, the script and direction have a gentle sensitivity.
  19. 1408
    A curse would be a great improvement on the wishy-washy wickedness of this movie.
  20. Evan Almighty
    Carell and Freeman are great together and Wanda Sykes' acerbic humor is perfect for her role as Evan's perplexed assistant.
  21. A Mighty Heart
    The story feels as urgent as the latest bad news out of the Middle East.
  22. Black Sheep
    Both the humor and horror are as broad as the side of the Oldfields' barn, but King and the cast are clearly having fun.
  23. Broken English
    Both neurotic and endearing, it's so carefully accessorized you may not even notice that, at heart, it's a standard-issue romantic comedy.
  24. Lady Chatterley
    It captures the animal attraction we call lust and carefully tracks its evolution to true love. For all its faults, this beautifully shot, sexually graphic film is a gem.
  25. You Kill Me
    Dahl found the right actors for every part - Bill Pullman as the cynical Realtor hired to look after Frank, Luke Wilson as the gay AA member assigned as Frank's sponsor, and the always amusing Dennis Farina as Irish mobster Edward O'Leary.
  26. DOA: Dead or Alive
    "Charlie's Angels," "Survivor," "American Gladiators" and "Girls Gone Wild" are just some of the bad influences on Hong Kong action director Corey Yuen's laughably silly adaptation of the video game DOA: Dead or Alive.
  27. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
    It's almost a surprise that the sequel is actually better - much better - than the original.
  28. Nancy Drew
    A very clever update of the 16-year-old heroine, managing to make her seem both as square as the Bobbsey Twins and as contemporary as MySpace.
  29. Eagle vs Shark
    This is the kind of movie in which Jarrod's nemesis turns out to be paraplegic, while his dad lives in a wheelchair despite the fact that he can walk just fine. Ha.
  30. Fido
    It's definitely the most fun you'll have with the undead this week.
