  1. Mirror Mirror
    "Dopey" is too good a word for it.
  2. 4:44 Last Day on Earth
    Feels stagy and anti-visceral.
  3. The Trouble with Bliss
    The biggest trouble with "Bliss" is the way it wastes a cast that deserves so much more.
  4. Musical Chairs
    In truth, Musical Chairs is so simplistic it almost feels like a first film.
  5. The Raid: Redemption
    The special effects here are wiry martial artists grunting their way through fight after fight. It's exhausting but exhilarating.
  6. All In: The Poker Movie
    All In lays down some interesting hands but sometimes can't raise the stakes, though "Rounders" star Matt Damon lends a bit of celeb flash.
  7. Brake
    While we're meant to feel claustrophobic, we're not supposed to fight boredom, which kicks in quickly.
  8. The Deep Blue Sea
    Weisz's meticulously crafted turn is certainly touching, but it lacks the immediacy of, say, Celia Johnson's in 1945's "Brief Encounter."
  9. The Hunger Games
    As tough-spirited as fans would hope for - and exciting and thought-provoking in a way few adventure dramas ever are.
  10. Jeff Who Lives at Home
    The whole movie is about piecing together broken parts. It may not always come together, but what it makes, if you look at it the right way, is endearing.
  11. 21 Jump Street
    Through it all, Tatum and Hill are totally winning.
  12. The Kid with a Bike
    It's miles away from big-budget, pop-culture entertainment, but you may be surprised by its impact.
  13. Delicacy
    Gently sweet but unmemorable bonbon.
  14. Detachment
    It's nice to see righteous anger in a movie. If only the education drama Detachment knew what to do with it.
  15. Seeking Justice
    Cage and the always-intense Pearce keep this thing going, but even they seem to know the ultimate destination is a bargain bin.
  16. Casa de mi Padre
    It's an unfunny Spanish movie that worked best as a two-minute trailer.
  17. Jiro Dreams of Sushi
    An extraordinary morsel of a movie, and yes, you'll want sushi afterward. But it won't taste like Jiro's.
  18. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
    The cast gives it all a good go, and pip-pip and all that for noticeable intelligence and a bit of the old British satire. Yet Salmon Fishing takes patience and rewards with no bite.
  19. Friends with Kids
    While "FWK" never challenges us, it does remain consistently engaging.
  20. Silent House
    The tricky camera moves that fill up Silent House make for one-half of a nerveracking horror film – before the movie's obviousness just gets on your nerves.
  21. John Carter
    What director Andrew Stanton has brought forth from Burroughs' limited, hoary source material is actually kind of fun.
  22. A Thousand Words
    If only this Eddie Murphy flick had taken its own advice and spent a little more time being reflective instead of hyperactive, it might have overcome a trite script and awful, obvious excuses for comedy.
  23. Project X
    Though the central blowout is as epic as advertised, so is the movie's self-congratulatory obnoxiousness.
  24. Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie
    Appearances from Jeff Goldblum, Zach Galifianakis and John C. Reilly help some, but all the mincing from Heidecker and Wareheim, the wanna-be, gross-out humor and THE CONSTANT SCREAMING get tiring.
  25. Boy
    Waititi retains his quirky style, but it feels meaningful here, a valid effort to explore the difficulties in coming of age during tough times.
  26. Let the Bullets Fly
    A good-natured and highly enjoyable goof.
  27. This Is Not a Film
    It's irrefutably art, and undeniably vital.
  28. Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
    While softening Geisel's darker themes, they still meld a valuable message into catchy songs, bright images (nicely done in 3D) and funny characters.
  29. Being Flynn
    Weitz – who did a great job adapting Nick Hornby's "About a Boy" into an affecting 2002 movie – can't bring the pieces together here.
  30. Good Deeds
    This film - like all the Madea-free dramas - could use more humor. Still, every Perry movie has its highs and lows. This time, the highs are a little higher, and the lows not quite so low. There is no faith-based message, but the moral is obvious: persistence pays off.
