  1. Terraferma
    Europe’s immigration dilemma was also the focus of Aki Kaurismaki’s winsome “Le Havre,” and the Africans themselves were front and center in Moussa Touré’s “La Pirogue.” This film is somewhat less effective; Crialese’s message seems to take priority over a deeper sense of individuals.
  2. Daybreakers
    Possibly the least sexy vampire flick ever to crawl out of the crypt (it never occurs to anyone that biting someone's neck is kinda intimate; the act is strictly utilitarian), but it's unusually detailed in its imagining.
  3. Trishna
    Pinto's lack of dramatic range (she basically has two expressions) and an awkward third act do not provide a solid foundation for Hardy's tragic ending.
  4. Lila Says
    Lebanon-born director Ziad Doueiri, a camera operator on Quentin Tarantino's films, has a dreamy, fluid style he decorates with light electronic sounds -- from bands like Air -- that give this film more than a touch of youthful poetry.
  5. Severe Clear
    Much of this footage might have been illuminating, even fascinating, in 2003. But seven years on, it's ancient history lacking insight, hindsight or a fresh take.
  6. Pet Sematary
    Although mostly routine, Pet Sematary is intermittently scary.
  7. Paul
    Bateman has rarely had the opportunity to play a snarling lawman, but with his cool aviators and his bristling putdowns he's perfect, too.
  8. Color Me Kubrick
    Great fun for the first 20 minutes - which include Kubrickian tracking shots and music from "2001" and "A Clockwork Orange" - but seems long at 86.
  9. Holy Smoke
    It lurches ineptly from lame comedy to hokey melodrama.

  10. Osmosis Jones
    It's no funnier than your average grade-school biology lesson and less pedagogically useful than your typical Farrelly brothers comedy.
  11. The Ring
    A stylish but distressingly generic and not particularly scary American remake of a phenomenally popular Japanese supernatural thriller that spawned two sequels and a TV miniseries.
  12. The Sea Is Watching
    The screen comes alive only at the end, when a frightening tornado destroys the seaside village.
  13. My Wife Is an Actress
    Nearly stolen by the veteran Stamp's gently fatuous John.
  14. Bart Got a Room
    Gut-bustingly funny.
  15. The Laundromat
    Netflix needs to add a category for its new original film The Laundromat. Right under “Movies you might like” should be “Movies you will loathe.”
  16. The Zookeeper's Wife
    Caro (“Whale Rider”) largely forgoes the eardrum-shattering ballistics of a typical war movie — yes, there are bombings and shootings, but they’re the backdrop, not the focus. Her film dwells more in the aftermath of violence.
  17. The Woman in the Fifth
    A sluggish and murky sub-Polanski-esque psychodrama.
  18. The World Is Not Enough
    Comes closer to what a Bond movie should be and once was.
  19. The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them
    The gimmicky title is doubly misleading: The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby is neither a mystery nor Beatles-themed, but it is an elegantly wrought tale of anguish.
  20. A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop
    A twisty, spectacular farce.
  21. Fordson: Faith, Fasting, Football
    Coming on the eve of the 9/11 anniversary, this snapshot of middle America is a worthwhile addition to the cultural conversation.
  22. Dicks: The Musical
    Having written this script for themselves, Sharp and Jackson are a scream. Imagine if a vodka Redbull transformed into two human beings — that’s who they are.
  23. Flicka
    As misconceived as it is corny and predictable.
  24. Master of the Flying Guillotine (re-release)
    The low-budget "Master" lacks the polish and romance that made "Crouching Tiger" so popular. But for old-fashioned raw energy, it's tough to beat.
  25. Mifune's Last Song
    A delightful, fresh dark comedy.
  26. Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over
    Combined with the eyestrain produced by the cheap cardboard 3-D glasses, the resulting vertigo is decidedly unpleasant -- although having moon rocks and blobs of cream pie flying out from the screen is kinda cool in a retro way.
  27. Lisa Picard Is Famous
    It turns into something that is much smarter, and in a gentle, low-key way, tougher and funnier than you expect.
  28. The Intouchables
    This essentially good-natured movie, a massive hit in France, is more likely to strike American audiences as trite than offensive.
  29. Life Partners
    Fogel’s focus is female friendship, and the challenges presented by growing older and pairing up. It all makes for a rocky road, regardless of the romantic rival’s gender.
  30. Thor
    There's plenty of smash, thunder and brawl for the kids. But in taking a bit of Hulk and a bit of Superman while re-imagining Excalibur as a hammer, Thor amounts to putting new horns on old ideas. And the screenplay sounds like the lyrics of Spinal Tap.
