  1. An Inconvenient Truth
    Avoiding the usual vein-popping diatribes, he comes across as learned, calm and folksy. But much of what Gore says in this slide show he gives to people whose minds are not yet fully formed (undergraduates, actors) is absurd, and his assertions often contradict each other.
  2. The Beat That My Heart Skipped
    Even when deadly silent, though, as he is through most of the film, Duris is brutally eloquent.
  3. Kippur
    Undeniably powerful, grimly fascinating.

  4. Lawless Heart
    It takes a while to get used to the fractured narrative, but once done it is easy to put your mind on autopilot and go with the offbeat characters and events.
  5. The Clay Bird
    The intolerance and inflexibility that marked the Taliban's brutal rule takes a solid hit in this lovely import from Bangladesh.
  6. Shrek 2
    So gorgeously animated and so thoroughly entertaining for all ages that only an ogre would complain it's not quite as fresh as the original.
  7. The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi
    The tap-dance finale is a gem.
  8. Make It Funky!
    Despite the attention focused on New Orleans these days, though, the film won't win many new converts. The musicians swear this is dance music, but the beats are far too ponderous to get a rise out of the hip-hop generation.
  9. Lady Vengeance
    If you've seen either of the first two flicks in this outrageous series - "Oldboy" and "Sympathy for Mister Vengeance" - you know what's coming. Novices should prepare for mind-bending bloodshed and violence.

    Enchanted
    The first half hour or so of Enchanted is brilliant.
  11. Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame
    All this is loads of fun, but after a while sensory overload sets in, dulling the mind. Even in a kung-fu flick, more isn't always better.
  12. I'll See You in My Dreams
    Playing a slightly autobiographical role — reinforced by a karaoke sequence that gently nods to “Duets,” the final film directed by Danner’s late real-life husband, Bruce Paltrow, and starring their daughter Gwyneth — Danner shines in scene after scene.
  13. Spy
    Alas, “sad case” is not how we want to see McCarthy; it’s frustrating to see her spend more than half the movie being the pathetic target of jokes rather than the dominating figure she was in “Bridesmaids” and “The Heat,” both of which are far funnier than this one.
  14. Lilo & Stitch
    Drawing inspiration from anime and vintage Looney Toons, this beautifully drafted, offbeat charmer is hip, funny - and a bona fide heart tugger for the whole family.
  15. An Unreasonable Man
    So why does the Democratic Party hate him so much? The answer, as this valuable (if blatantly pro-Nader) documentary makes clear, is hypocrisy.
  16. 24 City
    The result is surprisingly engrossing -- even lively, due in part to brief musical numbers inserted amid the interviews.
  17. Night Moves
    The second half, though, is chilling, as the trio’s actions come into sharp, painful focus. Too bad Reichardt has no ending.
  18. 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.
  19. John Wick: Chapter 2
    The first “John Wick” was taut and nasty, a potent slug of B-movie. This one is so enamored of its own extravagance that, on more than one occasion, I was reminded of “Zoolander 2.”
  20. The Witnesses
    They should hand out a score card with every ticket to The Witnesses to help viewers keep track of who's sleeping with whom.
  21. How to Train Your Dragon
    You could say the 3-D animated kidpic How To Train Your Dragon is "Avatar" for simpletons. But that title is already taken, by "Avatar."
  22. Civil War
    The plot plods along — they drive a bit, guy gets shot, they drive some more, guy gets shot — and the dialogue is bottom of the barrel.
  23. Side Effects
    I walked out of Steven Soderbergh’s Side Effects thinking to myself, “Finally, a mainstream 2013 movie I can whole-heartedly recommend’’ — then quickly added, “well, except that it will probably piss off a sizeable portion of the target audience.’’
  24. Oceans
    The movie could -- should -- be a symphony, and it frequently makes excellent use of spare classical music. When Brosnan pipes up, he is as welcome as a car alarm.
  25. That Evening Sun
    There are a lot of grace notes in That Evening Sun, including Barry Corbin's hilarious work as Abner's neighbor, a vivid sense of landscape and a visually arresting climax.
  26. The Invisible War
    For sheer infuriation value, you can't do much better than Kirby Dick's quietly scathing documentary on rape in the US military.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 12 Critic Score
    Down from the Mountain
    If bluegrass were as static and dull as this concert film indicates, Nashville would have hustled all the hillbillies back to the Smokies long ago.

    • 75 Metascore

    Metropolis
    The dialogue is dubbed into English by generic actors, whose phony, emotionless rendition undermines what's on the screen.
  29. The Motorcycle Diaries
    A gorgeous, poetic and stirring epic.
  30. Morris from America
    It’s a small movie, but in his third feature, indie writer-director Chad Hartigan proves he is a major talent, imbuing the interactions with wit and warmth and charm.
