  1. Outrage
    What is Dick's excuse for outing one cable news anchor but not a rival counterpart who is far better known? The anchor isn't antigay, but Dick likes the other network's politics better. Hypocrisy? Your call.
  2. Rudo y Cursi
    An occasionally amusing but strained fable about the dangers and delights of sibling rivalry that asks us to believe (for instance) that soccer scouts roam Mexico looking for 30-year-old recruits.
  3. Star Trek
    Vigorously played as a young man by Chris Pine, Kirk is a brilliant, sports-car driving, bar-brawling rebel who is finally shamed into joining Starfleet Academy.
  4. A Wink and a Smile
    Last week I thought watching women take their clothes off was sexy. This week I saw A Wink and a Smile.
  5. Battle for Terra
    Aggressively ugly and intergalactically boring, the dismal sci-fi kiddie cartoon Battle for Terra is too weak to be shown anywhere except maybe on the next flight to Saturn.
  6. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
    The season's first genuine guilty pleasure.
  7. The Limits of Control
    This is one of those movies that's too cool to have a plot.
  8. The Merry Gentleman
    The potential for suspense is dropped (there's a subplot about the receptionist's flight from her violent husband, but he appears in only a couple of scenes) in favor of lots of hushed interludes in which nothing happens.
  9. Revanche
    The coincidences might be too much for some, but viewers who can get past them will be treated to a suspenseful, well-acted, crisply photographed character study.
  10. Three Monkeys
    This is powerful filmmaking for discerning viewers.
  11. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
    There's no shortage of "wow" moments, but the strong liberal political subtext of the trilogy has largely disappeared.
  12. Fighting
    Fighting arrives fully charged by the charisma of its star, Channing Tatum, who has landed the lead in the upcoming "G.I. Joe."
  13. Empty Nest
    The script doesn't offer anything especially new, but Burman infuses the film with innovative lensing and capable acting.
  14. Il Divo
    The highly stylized, often outrageously funny biopic is anchored by a devastating performance by Toni Servillo as Andreotti, brilliantly capturing the gnomic politician's trademark slouch and inexpressive face.
  15. The Informers
    Tedious and tawdry.
  16. The Soloist
    Like the prototypical "Shine," this is a film that romanticizes mental illness.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Throw Down Your Heart
    Fleck fails to provide any personal charisma, although the music is infectious.
  18. Tyson
    Gives a taste of what it might be like to live inside Mike Tyson's mind.
  19. Earth
    Earth, you had me at baby polar bears.
  20. Treeless Mountain
    With Treeless Mountain, Kim establishes herself as a first-class filmmaker.
  21. State of Play
    State of Play is bordered by the states of absurdity and cliché.
  22. 17 Again
    This laugh-starved twist on "Big" and the many lesser body-swapping comedies of the era is basically a lecture on sexual abstinence.
  23. American Violet
    Plodding drama.
  24. Every Little Step
    Every Little Step shows only this: It hurts to flunk an audition, and it's nice to get hired. Everything it has to say about Broadway was said better in Bob Fosse's movie "All That Jazz" -- in its opening five minutes.
  25. Is Anybody There?
    All-too-familiar and schmaltzy territory for both coming-of-age films and movies with elderly actors.
  26. Lemon Tree
    You know a performance has to be special when a Palestinian wins Israel's version of the Best Actress Oscar. But why should politics detract from a stunning performance?
  27. Sleep Dealer
    Far more worth seeing than most of what's out there.
  28. Anvil! The Story of Anvil
    Not exactly as well known as Megadeth or Metallica, Anvil did indeed have 15 minutes of fame back in the 1980s. Then it went into obscurity. Now it's back, trying like hell to be somebody.
  29. Hannah Montana: The Movie
    The thing is a virtual remake of the fusty oldie "Sweet Home Alabama," which came out back when movie scripts were written on stone tablets.
  30. The Mysteries of Pittsburgh
    You know a movie's got problems when the most memo rable thing about it is Sienna Miller's mustache.
