  1. Drive Angry 3D
    Pure grindhouse, so committed to its own junkiness that it is, in its way, a pleasure to behold.
  2. The Over the Hill Band
    Calculated Belgian crowd-pleaser.
  3. The Grace Card
    Faith-based audiences may find comfort here, but the film's heavy-handedness is a burden it can't overcome.
  4. Heartbeats
    The emotions veer from bawdy to sweet and then to obvious, though the film is stylish, and Dolan's artfulness helps when the movie loses focus.
  5. Of Gods and Men
    Quiet, soulful and wrenching.
  6. Hall Pass
    Ever catch yourself thinking, "Man, I wish beer commercials lasted just 104 minutes longer"? The Farrelly brothers are ready to make your dreams come true.
  7. Immigration Tango
    A comedy with two left feet, Immigration Tango does have enthusiasm on its side. But it trips up under the awkward efforts of all involved.
  8. Even the Rain (Tambien la Lluvia)
    More serious-minded than expected, with a unique and savvy point of view.
  9. We Are What We Are
    This gruesome, allegorical drama is dark and unsettling, but not so original that it begs to be let in.
  10. The Last Lions
    Riveting, especially since these animals' population has horrifyingly dropped from 450,000 to 20,000 in a half-century.
  11. Vanishing on 7th Street
    It's a slow time at the cineplex, and the sinister scares served up by Brad Anderson are just spooky enough to freak out undemanding horror fans.
  12. I Am Number Four
    I Am Number Four, with its gangly title, seems like a dimwitted cousin to those hipper properties - a Superman-come-lately tale of puppy love, extraordinary powers and puberty that's duller than a chalkboard and less powerful than an extraneous Jonas brother.
  13. Unknown
    Twisty, engaging thriller.
  14. Certifiably Jonathan
    This rambling, unfocused, shuffling documentary paints the famous standup in broad strokes, only occasionally providing worthy examples of how Winters inspired generations.
  15. Vidal Sassoon: The Movie
    This rather elegant movie, like a bold new 'do, is both not what you'd expect and exactly what you feared.
  16. Gnomeo and Juliet
    This is perhaps for Shakespeare completists only.
  17. The Eagle
    This old-fashioned sword-and-sandal drama has all the bread and circuses we've come to know from the movies. It flirts with interesting story choices, but ultimately, all roads lead to boredom.
  18. Cedar Rapids
    Its appeal comes almost entirely from the cast members, who appear genuinely excited to invite us to their party.
  19. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never
    Bieber's world - at least as edited for mass consumption - is a refreshingly wholesome universe, where a young superstar is good-natured and grateful, says grace before every meal, and spends all his free time on the tour bus tweeting. He also likes to hug, a lot.
  20. Just Go with It
    A witless rom-com that is only marginally watchable.
  21. The Roommate
    If ever a thriller were to inspire a collective "eh," it's got to be The Roommate. It's not a good movie, by any means, but it's also not bad enough to have fun hating on.
  22. Waiting for Forever
    Director James Keach's movie is so annoyingly dipsy-doodle that TV veteran Bilson, trying hard to look haunted and angsty, is boxed in.
  23. Troubadours
    So maybe this movie should serve as his introduction to a larger series, in which each artist gets the individual portrait Neville so clearly wants them all to have.
  24. Home
    More mournful than alarmist, Arthus-Bertrand's film goes beyond global warming to look at life out of balance, through a lens darkly.
  25. Into Eternity
    Unfortunately, Madsen (a Danish filmmaker, not the American actor) has an approach to this rich topic that is repetitive and simplistic, as if he wasn't quite sure how to fill out even a brief feature.
  26. Dressed
    Don't let the generic title fool you: David John Swajeski's documentary tells a story you're unlikely to forget.
  27. 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.
  28. The Other Woman
    The one person who does appreciate Emilia is Portman - which is what saves The Other Woman from the easy judgment toward which it so often appears to be edging.
  29. Sanctum
    If you're able to think of characters as just air bubbles to get past, then dive in, the excitement's fine.
  30. Strongman
    To use carnival lingo: Thrilling? Not quite; since Levi's film has no clear goal for Stan to reach. Spectacular? Truth be told, those skeptical of Stan's abilities may still walk out as nonbelievers. Fascinating? Absolutely, because if you take time to listen, everyone's life is a three-ring circus.
