  1. Godspeed
    Quite a slog, with most of the acting strictly amateurish save the veteran Ed Lauter as a fish and game inspector.
  2. 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."
  3. Lbs.
    A working-class hero of a film.
  4. Waking Sleeping Beauty
    Doesn't have as much behind-the-scenes juice as you'd hope.
  5. The Bounty Hunter
    Someday, The Bounty Hunter and last month’s “Cop Out” will be featured in a cable movie double bill as the two worst 1988 films of 2010.
  6. Repo Men
    Repo Men is a rare film where Toronto plays itself. It's also the first I've ever seen where a typewriter is used as a lethal weapon.
  7. City Island
    For me, the movie's high point comes when Tony auditions for a role in a Martin Scorsese movie. Tony learns not to try so hard -- a lesson that Garcia also seems to have absorbed from City Island.
  8. Diary of a Wimpy Kid
    An above-average and sometimes surprising kid movie.
  9. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
    The result is a finely plotted, stylishly photographed and brilliantly acted whodunit that clocks in at 2 1/2 hours but never seems long.
  10. Greenberg
    To really pull off Greenberg would require a lead performance from a master actor. The actor it stars is . . . Ben Stiller.
  11. IMAX: Hubble 3D
    Astonishingly sharp and stunningly beautiful images of galaxies as far as 100 billion light-years away.
  12. The Runaways
    An entertaining but routine rock flick.
  13. 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.
  14. Mother
    Mother is yet another winner by Bong, one of Asia's most talented directors.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. She's Out of My League
    Scenes that should be grotesquely funny deliver only chuckles rather than a big payoff.
  18. Our Family Wedding
    A cringeworthy, unfunny example of a culture-clash romantic comedy.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. The Secret of Kells
    Quite unlike anything I've ever seen before.
  26. 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.
  27. Harlan: In the Shadow of Jew Suess
    Another Harlan work, "Kolberg" (1945), inspired the film within the film in "Inglourious Basterds."
  28. Cop Out
    Repeatedly shoots for laughs -- but ends up mostly firing blanks.
  29. 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.
  30. The Yellow Handkerchief
    The Yellow Handkerchief tells a timeless fable, and tells it extremely well.
