  1. Curse of the Golden Flower
    Curse of the Golden Flower could also be called "Curse of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.' " In other words, it is yet another attempt to cash in on the success of Ang Lee's 2000 martial-arts epic, which will go down in the history books as one of the most overrated films of the decade.
  2. Letters from Iwo Jima
    Taken together, Eastwood's masterworks - two of the best films of 2006 - may be Hollywood's last word on World War II.
  3. The Painted Veil
    Despite a fierce lead performance by Naomi Watts, The Painted Veil is a quaintly bloodless, picture-postcard adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's 1925 China-set novel - more Merchant Ivory than David Lean.
  4. Rocky Balboa
    Better than decent. But if Stallone (who wrote and directed the flick) had pulled a few punches to the heart, it could have been truly worthy of that first, glorious movie.
  5. Chats perchés
    Sounds boring, but it's not, thanks to Marker's whimsical irreverence.
  6. Matthew Barney: No Restraint
    Pleasant enough, with funny moments.
  7. Dreamgirls
    Dreamgirls may be good enough to win the Oscar for Best Picture - great costumes, sets and choreography help - but despite stellar work by erstwhile "American Idol" contestant Hudson and Murphy, it's far from a great picture.
  8. The Good German
    While Clooney and especially Blanchett give solid performances, and McGuire plays effectively against type, the movie is best appreciated as an exercise in vintage Hollywood style.
  9. Breaking and Entering
    Though Binoche does very solid work, she can't sell the idea of her and Law as a couple; the chemistry isn't there. Not much else rings true in Minghella's screenplay, which is full of coincidences and speeches about race and class.
  10. Charlotte's Web
    "Babe" was a classic because of its gentle simplicity. Charlotte's Web, with its insistently "magical" theme music, an overbearing climax and a trough full of bad jokes, is merely adequate.
  11. Eragon
    When the studio tells us that parental guidance is suggested, does it occur to them that they should have taken their own advice?
  12. The Pursuit of Happyness
    A viral blast of the American Dream. It's "Rocky" with a briefcase.
  13. Home of the Brave
    The apolitical and well-meaning Home of the Brave is predictable and maudlin.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Blood Diamond
    DiCaprio and Connelly give off the sexual tension of pickled herring.
  19. Apocalypto
    Gibson sure knows how to shoot a sequence, but he also doesn't know when to stop with the blood, gore and maiming.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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."
  23. Screamers
    Screamers, one of the most bizarre documentaries you'll ever not see.
  24. The Bergman Trilogy
    An amazing portrait of the great filmmaker Ingmar Bergman in his later years.
  25. Days of Glory
    Days of Glory has good intentions and a well-executed combat scene, but it could do with more originality.
  26. Hermanas
    Solomonoff draws out vivid performances by Valeria Bertuccelli (Elena) and Ingrid Rubio (Natalia) that make up for the script's predictability.
  27. 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.
  28. The Nativity Story
    A deadly dull, by-the-numbers rendition of the Nativity story.
  29. Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj
    Ryan Reynolds isn't around this time - and neither is most of the wit.
  30. 10 Items or Less
    Strictly remainder-bin material.
