  1. Capitalism: A Love Story
    Shouldn’t Moore run his yellow crime-scene tape around the White House instead of Wall Street? Anyway, President Obama said this month that in cases where the government has fully sold its TARP bank holdings, it has gotten back its money plus 17 percent. Damn those capitalist barons, breaking into our treasury and filling it with their filthy money.
  2. Irene in Time
    Has some witty dialogue and sprightly performances by Karen Black, Andrea Marcovicci, Victoria Tennant and others.
  3. In Search of Beethoven
    What made Ludwig such a great musician? The documentary In Search of Beethoven, directed by Phil Grabsky, answers that question reasonably well.
  4. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
    It's the Food Network meets The Weather Channel meets . . . the Scary Doomsday Preachers Channel.
  5. The Informant!
    More amusing than laugh-out-loud hilarious, but is never boring.
  6. Love Happens
    Love Happens is a weepie about the grieving process, mainly my own.
  7. Jennifer's Body
    The “Transformers” hottie undergoes her very own transformation here, thanks to satanic possession.
  8. Paris
    The tales mostly drift along and wrap up unresolved. If this is an accurate slice of Paris life, I'll take the relative excitement of Topeka.
  9. The Burning Plain
    Here the characters aren't compelling enough to ask viewers to give their brains a workout to determine exactly what's going on.
  10. Disgrace
    I cannot tell a lie. I derive great satisfaction watching John Malkovich act.
  11. 35 Shots of Rum
    Denis -- who has called the film a tribute to the great Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu -- keeps dialogue to a minimum as she delicately examines how immigration is changing the face of France.
  12. Bright Star
    Catnip for the art-house crowd.
  13. Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
    The would-be noir Beyond a Rea sonable Doubt has an absurd story, but on the plus side you can hardly see what's going on because the photography is so murky.
  14. No Impact Man: The Documentary
    The film makes little sense (the couple refuses to ride subways, but Metro-North is OK), but it's a diverting conversation piece/freak show.
  15. Gogol Bordello Non-Stop
    Gogol Bordello plays a mix of punk rock and Gypsy music that recalls the work of the Serbian No Smoking Band. Onstage, Gogol Bordello puts on a visually outrageous show that one member describes as "kick-ass."
  16. 9
    IF you ask me, Shane Acker's post-apocalyp tic animated film 9 is better than the live-ac tion flick "District 9." Beyond their similar titles, these sci-fi social commentaries are both expanded from shorts under the sponsorship of a world-class director.
  17. Crude
    Like its subject, a lawsuit that is expected to go on for another 10 years, Crude has no ending. This is the perfect ending for this Goliath versus Goliath documentary about powerful personal-injury lawyers taking on a powerful corporation.
  18. Walt & El Grupo
    A disappointingly superficial treatment of a fascinating historical incident.
  19. Extract
    White trash meets white collar in Extract, Mike Judge's workplace comedy -- which contains more reality than the last five documentaries I've seen.
  20. All About Steve
    Grotesquely unfunny comedy.
  21. Amreeka
    This small gem takes a basically optimistic view about the struggles that generations of immigrants have endured.
  22. At the Edge of the World
    The Japanese whalers are clearly in violation of international law, but no government is willing to take action. That leaves it up to ragtag groups such as the Sea Shepherds to do their best to shut down the whalers. The planet owes them a big "thank you."
  23. Big Fan
    Superb Noo Yawk attitude, dialogue and performances (including one from the essential Kevin Corrigan, now well into his second decade of being indie movies' dirtbag on demand) keep the movie lively and tart.
  24. Mystery Team
    There is only one joke here, milked endlessly.
  25. The September Issue
    Beaded with amusing moments.
  26. St. Trinian's
    Bad in ways that are almost endearing, St. Trinian's does offer the spectacle of Rupert Everett mincing around in drag as a headmistress bedeviled by Colin Firth, as an education minister and former lover who wants to shut down her out-of-control school.
  27. Wolke Neun
    Seldom has any movie shown so much geriatric sex and full-frontal nudity (male and female). But, thanks to Dresen, it is all done with taste and sensitivity.
  28. Play the Game
    While Fienberg's direction is no great shakes, the film showcases its veteran cast.
  29. Halloween II (2009)
    At times Halloween II dances on the line between alarming and disgusting, and it doesn’t all hold together — I couldn’t figure out what the goblin banquet was doing in this movie. But if it was meant to freak me out, it worked.
  30. Taking Woodstock
    Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock achieves an amazing feat: It turns the fabled music festival, a key cultural moment of the late 20th century, into an exceedingly lame, heavily clichéd, thumb-sucking bore.
