  1. Ararat
    Egoyan treats the Armenian genocide and its aftermath as a metaphor for cruelty and denial -- an exercise in either pretension or timidity that exploits this tragedy.
  2. Gunnin' for That #1 Spot
    The film is well shot and edited, backed with a bouncy hip-hop soundtrack and full of pep.
  3. In Bloom
    In terms of its outlook for young girls in Georgia, the movie title might as well be “Buried Alive.”
  4. Sex Positive
    For gays who remember the nightmare, Sex Positive may be too depressing to watch. But the movie strikes a cautionary tone for a younger generation that, it says, isn't taking the HIV threat seriously.
  5. Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
    Stieve and Glosserman may yet strike a vein: This thing screams out for a Hollywood remake with, say, writers from "The Simpsons."
  6. The Hammer
    The script depends heavily on familiar stand-up comedy bits, but it's full of sharp wisecracks and slacker charm.
  7. Things Heard & Seen
    Things Heard & Seen is an adequate haunted-house film, to be sure, but it will certainly give you pause about that three-bedroom, three-bath listing in Kingston.
  8. Groove
    Contains too many weak performances and predictable lines to succeed, but it's probably the best rave movie so far.
    • New York Post
  9. Only the Brave
    Only the Brave is at its best at two extremes: in the middle of the action, as the firefighters do things like improbably light fires to contain bigger fires; and at home in the midst of banter between Eric and his wife Amanda.
  10. Nightbitch
    Heller’s enjoyable film is not the cringe fest you walk in expecting it to be, even if the premise will be a hairy leap for some moviegoers.
  11. Taking Sides
    A compelling look at a vexa tious question, Taking Sides is, at times, hamstrung by its own ambiguity.
  12. American Movie
    Frequently hilarious, if overlong.
    • New York Post
  13. The Nomi Song
    Horn bookends his documentary with clips from "It Came From Outer Space."
  14. Wonderstruck
    Hard to say what percentage of Haynes’ adult audience will dig this one. I found it lovely to look at and emotionally underwhelming.
  15. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
    I loved both "Walk the Line" and "Ray," but it will be hard to watch either one with a straight face again after the skewering they get in this Judd Apatow production, which quotes scene after scene to hilarious effect.
  16. Hush!
    Overlong but telling look at three young misfits.
  17. The Girl Next Door
    Though shamelessly derivative and amoral, The Girl Next Door is nevertheless funnier and smarter than most of the pathetic dreck aimed at the nation's teens.
  18. The Lobster
    Loaded with dazzling ideas that don’t ultimately pull together.
  19. Escape Plan
    Any prison-break yarn that includes Arnold Schwarzenegger delivering the line “You hit like a vegetarian” is OK by me.

    Bittersweet Motel
    Fans will love this quick flick by director Todd Phillips, but it better serves as an introduction for the uninitiated.

  21. WXIII: Patlabor the Movie 3
    Lacks excitement, although its solid story makes for decent viewing.
  22. The Armstrong Lie
    Overall, Gibney does a fine job documenting the timeless nature of Armstrong’s fall from grace. It’s undeniably satisfying to see the man himself lay it out: “It’s very hard to control the truth forever,” he says, awkwardly. “This has been my downfall.”
  23. The Card Player
    Argento keeps the suspense level high while throwing in trademark cringe-inducing moments.
  24. The Lovers and the Despot
    It’s told in a woefully pedestrian way, with talking-head footage forming the bulk of this slow-to-develop film. Still, it’s a creepily fascinating tale.
  25. Return to Nuke 'Em High Volume 1
    Imagine the French lesbian romance “Blue Is the Warmest Color’’ as a raunchy American exploitation flick with loads of fake gore. That’s a rough idea of the latest from Lloyd Kaufman, the exuberant shockmeister whose Troma Team is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
  26. Beauty Shop
    A cut above what you'd expect from the spinoff of a sequel.
  27. Must Love Dogs
    This movie is never more than a one-liner away from sitcom, yet it goes down like ice cream.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Chunhyangdyun
    Beautifully filmed, and the star-crossed lovers, both played by first-time actors, are a match made in art-film heaven. But I must admit, the pansori singer got on my nerves about halfway through.
    • New York Post
  29. La scorta (re-release)
    But exciting as La Scorta might be, it is at heart a conventional thriller that breaks no new genre ground.
  30. Listen Up Philip
    In Listen Up Philip, the tiny fury of Jason Schwartzman suggests his “Rushmore” character is now 15 years older and a middling Brooklyn novelist. His deadpan misanthropy is good for some acerbic laughs in a movie that starts appealingly but gradually comes to seem closed and stuck.
