  1. The Brown Bunny
    As evident from The Brown Bunny and his directing debut, "Buffalo 66," Gallo is talented, although in an unconventional way. Call him an angry young man with a future.
  2. Ellie Parker
    Naomi Watts is the only explanation for the existence of the student-y digital video feature Ellie Parker.
  3. Papillon
    The story is far less gripping than the consistency of the hunky lead actor’s facial hair. For most of the two hours or so, the beard is perfect. Frozen in time.
  4. Day Shift
    Lucky “Day Shift” has an Oscar winner in Foxx, who’s appealingly heroic, and gags about a burning sensation on characters’ privates.
  5. Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules
    Seventh-graders are far cooler and more anarchic than depicted in this often-dopey movie, which is aimed at more of a fourth-grade sensibility.
  6. The Night Listener
    This Sundance dud is a turgid gay soap opera with a limp twist, showcasing Robin Williams at his maudlin worst.
  7. The Rewrite
    Lawrence’s script for The Rewrite could have used one, and his direction is uneven, but it’s still rewarding watching Grant dispensing his dithery charm surrounded by old pros.
  8. 21 Bridges
    One of the worst depictions of our city ever filmed.
  9. Lovelace
    The superficial script doesn’t go nearly deep enough to begin explaining Lovelace.
  10. Marry Me
    Good on J.Lo for protecting the integrity of flighty rom-coms. Every movie need not be so serious and socially conscious.
  11. Hardcore Henry
    It’s breathtaking. It’s dazzling. It’s world-altering, is what it is. For the first time ever, a movie has actually done it. Hardcore Henry has precisely replicated the experience of watching someone else play a video game.
  12. Parkland
    All of this is secondary, even tertiary material, even if much of it is interesting and even wrenching to behold.
  13. John Carter
    Interminably long, dull and incomprehensible, John Carter evokes pretty much every sci-fi classic from the past 50 years without having any real personality of its own.
  14. Misery Loves Comedy
    Pollak obviously had fun, but you get the feeling the best bits never made it in.
  15. Taken
    A Liam Neeson thriller so lacking in ambition they should have called it "Paycheck."
  16. My Sister's Keeper
    A lighter hand would have enhanced some very good performances.
  17. Step Brothers
    There is too much funny here for a movie (even though it continues into the closing credits). Step Brothers should be a TV show.
  18. Just an American Boy
    A mediocre music documentary about veteran country rocker and activist Steve Earle, who created a furor with a song sympathetic to American Taliban John Walker Lindh.
  19. Americano
    The film's first half has a lovely feel for how bizarre California must seem to foreigners, and there's a piercing sense of the stop-and-start ways that people deal with grief.
  20. Anonymous
    Where Anonymous has it all over "Shakespeare in Love'' is its detailed evocation of London from four centuries ago. The rowdy audience for Shakespeare's first works at the Globe Theatre is especially colorful.
  21. Jack Reacher
    Cruise's Jack Reacher is a loner who doesn't smile, charm, love the ladies, aim his index fingers to the heavens or sing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" in bars. Here he just snarls and kills people. Yes, please, and let's have more of the same.
  22. The Cut
    At the start, “The Cut” is an adequate, typical gloves-and-shoves picture. And then, with a snap of the fingers, director Sean Ellis’ film turns absolutely interminable.
  23. Super
    A spoof of you-know-what that's a lot less funny than it sounds.
  24. Disenchanted
    One sequence is amusing: a number called “Fairytale Life (After the Spell)” in which panini grills and espresso machines sing along like they live in Pee-wee’s Playhouse. You struggle to care about the rest.
  25. Vanishing on 7th Street
    Not as elaborate or entertaining as Anderson's last feature, "Transsiberian," but it's got enough shocks for an entirely respectable addition to the post-apocalyptic genre.
  26. Kill the Irishman
    If you're in the mood for a clichéd gangland B-movie, though, you could do worse.
  27. City by the Sea
    A murky, vaguely fact-based melodrama that quickly sinks into the same swamp as such recent De Niro mistakes as "15 Minutes" and "Showtime."
  28. Billabong Odyssey
    Follows a narrative arc as choppy as a messy windswell, and the result is a dog's dinner of profiles, repetitive narration, safety tips and banal "insights" into the joys and dangers of cresting waves that sometimes reach 70 feet.
  29. Rittenhouse Square
    The star of the movie is Caeli Veronica Smith, 12, an accomplished violinist who frequently performs in the park. Seeing her play in person would be worth the bus trip to Philly.
  30. True Story
    Franco’s distancing routine helps sink True Story, an already turgid and tone-deaf adaptation of a self-serving memoir by a disgraced New York Times reporter (played by two-time Oscar nominee Jonah Hill) who bonds with a murderer he’s trying to exploit.
