  1. The Runaways
    An entertaining but routine rock flick.
  2. Vincere
    Daniele Cipri's highly stylized lensing and Carlo Crivelli's bold score add to the movie's flamboyant aura. But then, the story of a bombastic dictator deserves a bombastic telling.
  3. Mother
    Mother is yet another winner by Bong, one of Asia's most talented directors.
  4. Green Zone
    Mixes fact and speculation in a way that's already raised the ire of some on the right as well as on the left.
  5. The Exploding Girl
    Those who can hang on through the mumblecore-ish narrative languor of the nicely photographed The Exploding Girl will savor a very talented actress' sensitive portrait of youthful awkwardness.
  6. She's Out of My League
    Scenes that should be grotesquely funny deliver only chuckles rather than a big payoff.
  7. Our Family Wedding
    A cringeworthy, unfunny example of a culture-clash romantic comedy.
  8. Remember Me
    The dullness of this writing is more than matched by the dull look achieved by director Allen Coulter, who appears to have shot the film through a piece of yard-sale Tupperware.
  9. Stolen
    James Van Der Beek plays the same suspect over a 50-year period, sporting some of the worst old-age makeup in memory in the present-day sequences.
  10. 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.
  11. Children of Invention
    One way to judge a filmmaker is by the way he or she directs children. Take Tze Chun and his impressive first feature, Children of Invention.
  12. Alice in Wonderland
    Depp's nonsense-spouting Mad Hatter, decked out in a red fright wig and possibly more makeup than Michael Jackson, is an unlikely resistance leader.
  13. Brooklyn's Finest
    At one sip per cuss word, though, few viewers will still be conscious for the ending, in which the three cops finally come to the same place, each for an entirely different but equally ridiculous reason.
  14. The Secret of Kells
    Quite unlike anything I've ever seen before.
  15. Harlem Aria
    Having Damon Wayans in the cast might attract viewers to Harlem Aria, but they're bound to be disappointed by the amateurish drama.
  16. Harlan: In the Shadow of Jew Suess
    Another Harlan work, "Kolberg" (1945), inspired the film within the film in "Inglourious Basterds."
  17. Cop Out
    Repeatedly shoots for laughs -- but ends up mostly firing blanks.
  18. The Crazies
    Even for a horror movie, The Crazies is a bore, and we're talking about the most boring genre this side of dysfunctional-family indie drama.
  19. The Yellow Handkerchief
    The Yellow Handkerchief tells a timeless fable, and tells it extremely well.
  20. Shutter Island
    Scorsese has great fun with a story that in the final analysis does not really demand to be taken any more seriously as history than "Inglourious Basterds."
  21. Blood Done Sign My Name
    Rolls out stiff clichés to tell a familiar story of racial injustice in the South.
  22. The Ghost Writer
    Although the movie is reasonably suspenseful for a while and has a few witty moments (of a first draft, the ghost says, "All the words are there. They're just in the wrong order"), it rings false.
  23. The Good Guy
    Not just a shabby "Wall Street" knockoff clogged with dull, jargon-spewing trading-desk scenes that fail to advance the plot in any way. It's also a nondescript "Sex and the City" retread.
  24. Happy Tears
    Rip Torn's recent real-life misadven tures are slightly echoed in Happy Tears, a moderately diverting black comedy in which he plays (what else?) a crazy old coot, to perfection.
  25. The Last New Yorker
    On the plus side, Derek McKane's moody camerawork makes Gotham look grand. Too bad it's wasted on The Last New Yorker.
  26. Phyllis and Harold
    My only question: Why does Kleine -- who's married to Andre Gregory of "My Dinner With Andre" fame -- think that anybody outside her family gives a damn?
  27. Lourdes
    It'll be a real miracle if anyone manages to stay awake throughout this extravagantly dull film.
  28. The Wolfman
    As a spooky midnight movie, The Wolfman is worth curling up with.
  29. Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
    Played by Logan Lerman -- the Zac Efron look-alike who was young George Hamilton in "My One and Only" -- Percy is a Manhattan high-schooler who learns he is a demigod.
  30. Valentine's Day
    Less funny or romantic than your average colonoscopy, this cringe-inducing bore provides dubious employment for four Oscar winners, two nominees and a raft of TV performers.
