  1. The Pursuit of Happyness
    A viral blast of the American Dream. It's "Rocky" with a briefcase.
  2. Home of the Brave
    The apolitical and well-meaning Home of the Brave is predictable and maudlin.
  3. The Secret Life of Words
    Yes, The Secret Life of Words owes much to Lars von Trier's 1999 "Breaking the Waves." But Coixet's riff stands on its own thanks to thoughtful performances by Polley and Robbins.
  4. Memoirs of My Nervous Illness
    The psychobabble makes for dry filmmaking until Schreber starts going fem. From that point on, it's every man for himself.
  5. Automatons
    More violent than anything Wood ever did, Automatons nevertheless has the kitschy feel and look of something he might have concocted. And I mean that as a compliment.
  6. The Holiday
    Complaining about the gooey and generic The Holiday is as useless as railing against fruitcake - this is a slick, throwaway chick flick designed to provide nothing more than mindless diversion between bouts of shopping.
  7. Blood Diamond
    DiCaprio and Connelly give off the sexual tension of pickled herring.
  8. Apocalypto
    Gibson sure knows how to shoot a sequence, but he also doesn't know when to stop with the blood, gore and maiming.
  9. Unaccompanied Minors
    89 minutes go by like 89 hours. Not just 89 regular hours either: 89 hours of being stuck in an airport. During a blizzard. While Lewis Black sleeps drooling on your shoulder.
  10. Family Law
    After sitting a while in front of my computer trying to come with the right word to describe the Argentine soaper Family Law, I've settled on "diverting." You will be entertained, but you won't tax your brain.
  11. Off the Black
    If your film is as downbeat and deflated as this one, you had better be leading up to a more interesting insight than, "The older I get, the more I know that I don't know anyone."
  12. Screamers
    Screamers, one of the most bizarre documentaries you'll ever not see.
  13. The Bergman Trilogy
    An amazing portrait of the great filmmaker Ingmar Bergman in his later years.
  14. Days of Glory
    Days of Glory has good intentions and a well-executed combat scene, but it could do with more originality.
  15. Hermanas
    Solomonoff draws out vivid performances by Valeria Bertuccelli (Elena) and Ingrid Rubio (Natalia) that make up for the script's predictability.
  16. Inland Empire
    What is Inland Empire - which Lynch is understandably distributing himself - about? What is it trying to say? If you figure that out, let me know.
  17. The Nativity Story
    A deadly dull, by-the-numbers rendition of the Nativity story.
  18. Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj
    Ryan Reynolds isn't around this time - and neither is most of the wit.
  19. 10 Items or Less
    Strictly remainder-bin material.
  20. The Architect
    Though nothing much happens, all of the actors get to do lots of teary close-ups.
  21. Highway Courtesans
    Brabbee, artistic director of the Nantucket Film Festival, is to be commended for her dedication to this project, but the film isn't hefty enough for a theatrical release. Public TV would be a better showcase.
  22. The Lives of Others
    The skillfully acted and directed The Lives of Others is a timely warning about governments that seek to repress dissent.
  23. Turistas
    Turistas has mastered the international language: stupidity.
  24. Two Weeks
    A low-key Field is the best thing about Two Weeks, which is set in a Wilmington, N.C., where everyone mysteriously sounds like he just got off a Los Angeles freeway.
  25. Invisible
    You will be so put off by the bland couple (what do you expect from people named Joe and Jane?) and their dumb arguing - not to mention the grating score - that you won't really care.
  26. A Touch of Spice
    One big hunk of cinematic moussaka with lots of appetizing shots of food.
  27. Our Daily Bread
    A thought-provoking documentary that would go well on a double bill with Richard Linklater's fictional "Fast Food Nation."
  28. The Fountain
    There's a geyser of ambition in the visually stunning The Fountain, but the story of a thousand-year quest for the Fountain of Youth eventually trickles out.
  29. Deck the Halls
    It is a better option than the third "Santa Clause."
  30. Deja Vu
    Starts out a lot like an expensive-looking episode of "CSI" before morphing into a solidly entertaining time-traveling romance.
