  1. Stuff and Dough
    Low-budget triumph.
  2. 88 Minutes
    88 Minutes holds you in a state of acute suspense, keeping you wondering until the very last minute whether this is the worst Al Pacino movie ever made.
  3. Anamorph
    A serial-killer flick told like an art lecture, Anamorph manages to be gruesome yet dull.
  4. The First Saturday in May
    For anyone with an interest in racing, "First Saturday" is a sure bet.
  5. The Forbidden Kingdom
    It's good-natured myth-making cut into kid-size pieces.
  6. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
    This film is so funny it may be beside the point to complain that, as in many Apatow productions, the writing and direction are still in something of a state of arrested development.
  7. The Life Before Her Eyes
    An overwrought and patently offensive anti- abortion drama from the director of the accomplished "House of Sand and Fog."
  8. Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?
    One of my critical brethren opined that this sort of dumbing-down and low comedy may be the only way to sell the public a movie about the Iraq war. If that's true, God help us.
  9. Zombie Strippers!
    Shot on ugly digital video with Troma-grade special effects, campy humor and frighteningly bad acting, Zombie Strippers should provide many laughs for stoners watching it on video.
  10. Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
    It puts a conservative twist on Michael Moore-ism, with campy stock footage, deadpan humor, mocking musical cues and less-than-ingenuous questions.
  11. Dark Matter
    An unsatisfying drama that premiered at Sundance '07 and was supposedly delayed because of the Virginia Tech shootings.
  12. Smart People
    Page and Church work so brilliantly together as a comic team that it's worth enduring the leads' utter lack of chemistry together - not to mention the fact they're both wildly miscast.
  13. Street Kings
    A wet, red chunk of pulp that knows what it is and doesn't care.
  14. The Visitor
    Best movie I've seen so far this year? Hands down, it's Tom McCarthy's superb The Visitor, which turns Richard Jenkins, one of the best character actors in the business, into a full-fledged star.
  15. Chaos Theory
    The audience, if any, for Chaos Theory is going to be hit with a little puff of celluloid flatulence. The movie won't linger in the air, but that doesn't make it any less embarrassing.
  16. The Take
    Leguizamo knocks it out of the park as an armored car driver in The Take.
  17. Remember the Daze
    We keep waiting for a story, or at least some comedy, but none ever materializes. The dialogue makes Algebra II seem fascinating by comparison.
  18. Bra Boys
    The film is narrated by Russell Crowe, whose star power is probably the only reason it's being released here.
  19. Body of War
    Lazy, shallow and repetitive, Phil Donahue's Body of War is one of the most incompetent documentaries to emerge from the Iraq war.
  20. Young@Heart
    It's truly inspiring to watch Fred Knittle, 81 and tethered to an oxygen tank, perform a riveting solo of Coldplay's "Fix You" after his singing partner dies shortly before the show.
  21. Flight of the Red Balloon
    Fans of Hou know just what to expect from his slow, contemplative films - and they won't be disappointed.
  22. Meduzot
    There's enough material here for a miniseries, but the directors keep the proceedings to 78 brisk minutes without making the viewer feel cheated.
  23. Leatherheads
    Far from a touchdown, but you gotta give points to any movie where a character describes its climactic game as a "muddy snoozefest."
  24. My Blueberry Nights
    The biggest problem is Wong's decision to cast Norah Jones as Elizabeth, a New Yorker who hits the road after a love affair goes bad. Jones, in her first movie, can't act. (There, I said it!)
  25. Nim's Island
    Strictly for the 8-and-under crowd.
  26. The Ruins
    The movie doesn't do anything with these viney bastards. There's no back story, no satire, no allegory, no implications beyond what's happening on the pyramid.
  27. Sex and Death 101
    This film is headed quickly for DVD. In the video store, though, it isn't funny enough to be shelved in the comedy section nor dirty enough to be filed with the smut. It might be useful in propping up a wobbly chair, though.
  28. Shine a Light
    Martin Scorsese's Rolling Stones "documentary" (i.e. concert film) is a first: the only Scorsese film that does not feature the Stones' "Gimme Shelter." Really. I think the Dalai Lama even hummed the guitar solo in "Kundun."
  29. Tuya's Marriage
    Has enough material to supply an entire year of a soap opera - in Inner Mongolia, that is.
  30. Water Lilies
    Though Water Lilies endlessly teases the audience with its sapphic subtext and young female flesh, Sciamma seems most interested in showing how extremely cruel adolescent girls can be to each other.
