  1. 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.
  2. Flight of the Red Balloon
    Fans of Hou know just what to expect from his slow, contemplative films - and they won't be disappointed.
  3. 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.
  4. Leatherheads
    Far from a touchdown, but you gotta give points to any movie where a character describes its climactic game as a "muddy snoozefest."
  5. 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!)
  6. Nim's Island
    Strictly for the 8-and-under crowd.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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."
  10. Tuya's Marriage
    Has enough material to supply an entire year of a soap opera - in Inner Mongolia, that is.
  11. 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.
  12. Flawless
    The plot contortions that very slowly unfold under Michael Radford's arthritic direction in Flawless are not much more entertaining.
  13. Run, Fatboy, Run
    Suggestion: When making a film called Run Fat Boy Run, how about hiring a fat boy?
  14. 21
    A slick, shallow and thoroughly generic caper flick.
  15. Chapter 27
    This boring, torpid movie notices its own flaws and unwisely underlines them.
  16. The Cool School
    Filmed largely in black and white, The Cool School includes interviews with one of the gallery's founders, Ed Kienholz, as well as with Dennis Hopper, Dean Stockwell and architect Frank Gehry.
  17. My Brother Is an Only Child
    Intelligent, well-acted movie.
  18. Priceless
    Priceless provides lightweight, predictable entertainment that will make you yearn for the Tatou of yesteryear.
  19. Stop-Loss
    As phony as a re-enactment with finger pup pets.
  20. Shotgun Stories
    Features a riveting performance by Michael Shannon as oldest son Son. He's definitely an actor to watch.
  21. Drillbit Taylor
    The last time I saw this much talent in a losing cause was Super Bowl XLII. Trying to mix farce with heart, Drillbit Taylor is instead as soulful as Kenny G and as wacky as public television.
  22. Boarding Gate
    Draggy and incoherent.
  23. The Grand
    Well, nobody said The Grand was another "Best in Show."
  24. The Hammer
    The script depends heavily on familiar stand-up comedy bits, but it's full of sharp wisecracks and slacker charm.
  25. Love Songs
    Chiara Mastroianni, whose mom, Catherine Deneuve, starred in Demy's "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (1964), appears here as Julie's sister. Vive la New Wave.
  26. Planet B-Boy
    Proves that what might be (but probably isn't) worth five minutes of your time while you're passing through the Times Square subway station really isn't worth a 1 1/2-hour movie.
  27. Irina Palm
    The demand for her services is so great that she suffers from "penis elbow," but her popularity also brings self-esteem and a possible boyfriend in her boss (Miki Manojlovic) in this lethargically directed comedy.
  28. Horton Hears a Who!
    Frequently charming, beautifully drawn and far more faithful in spirit to the source material than those dreadful Ron Howard-Brian Grazer productions.
  29. City with No Mercy
    Flash Point comes loaded with cliches and immediately starts blasting them in every direction.
  30. Never Back Down
    A formula flick that should have tapped out in the script stage.
