  1. Maybe the Midwest isn't actually like this, but if it were, would that be so bad?
  2. You know you're in trouble when you're suffering a comedy shutout and the pinch-hitters you send in are Kidman and Dave Matthews.
  3. Madsen interviews experts galore, but few seem to know what's going to happen with this project in the next decade -- let alone 100,000 years.
  4. A drippy romance that makes Nicholas Sparks look like Leo Tolstoy.
  5. An uplifting story to be sure, but director-producer David Swajeski doesn't do it justice.
  6. Sergei Puskepalis (Sergei) and Grigory Dobrygin (Pavel) give powerful performances, but the real star is Mother Nature.
  7. Weds half-hearted thriller elements to the self-absorbed, no-budget mumblecore films pioneered by Katz in efforts like "Dance Party, USA."
  8. The Other Woman isn't a perfect film, but it makes better use of her (Portman) talents than her other current movie, "No Strings Attached."
  9. It sounds like it was written by the star pupils at the Cameron Academy of Screenwriting.
  10. Kekilli delivers a perfectly tuned performance. Too bad the script is often clunky and melodramatic, as the first-time director, Vienna-born Feo Aladag, tries to manipulate viewers' emotions.
  11. Call it "The Doom Generation II." Gregg Araki's Kaboom returns to the trippy ways of his 1995 erotic head trip.
  12. The piéce de résistance is a "Rocky"-ish battle between bare-fisted Ip (Donnie Yen) and a racist Brit who uses boxing gloves and goes by the name Twister.
  13. The sort of misfire that Hollywood has long buried in January.
  14. Short, fast and nasty, The Mechanic is considerably more fun than the rather lethargic original.
  15. Satisfying, well-acted drama.
  16. It is beautifully shot, with impeccable acting and visual detail.
  17. Director and co-writer Martin Pieter Zandvliet draws inspired work from Steen.
  18. Directed by C. Scott Willis, this beautifully shot documentary blends Francesca's work -- photos, videos and passages from her diary -- with interviews.
  19. Stirring as it frequently is, The Way Back is a good movie that should have been a classic.
  20. The movie quickly sinks into a terminal case of the cutes and extreme predictability - amid the usual surfeit of wacky supporting characters.
  21. Dryly funny, adult-oriented animation -- hand-drawn on computers in a simple but captivating style by the husband-and-wife team.
  22. A wildly misanthropic and overlong black comedy.
  23. Nothing would help make this dud understandable.
  24. A 42-minute TV soap has more story than this limp and familiar tale of domestic woe.
  25. A slim story that becomes schmaltzy at the end.
  26. The movie is much like a really long beer commercial - but a really dark one.
  27. Overblown, interminable and unfunny.
  28. Don't expect guffaw-inducing comedy, but rather deadpan humor in the style of Buster Keaton and Jacques Tati.
  29. Patsy Cline. Loretta Lynn. Gwyneth Paltrow. If you buy that progression, you'll buy Country Strong, an unintentionally campy drama.
  30. A movie that appears to have been shot entirely on leftover sets from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."
