  1. It's brilliant work.
  2. Pulse bears more than a slight resemblance to a 1994 American horror called "Ghost in the Machine." They didn't screen that stinker in advance for critics, either.
  3. The teen dance drama Step Up seems like it was not only inspired by a Janet Jackson video but entirely written during one.
  4. A kid comedy that's been zapped by extraterrestrial suckiness rays.
  5. Too bad there is only about half an hour's worth of story here. Mostly, we just watch the teacher get high, and his classroom talks about civil rights are nothing but filler.
  6. Director-co-writer Fabrice du Welz has taken a clichƩd premise and infused it with a stylish perversity that should have horror fans squealing with delight.
  7. Plot? Who needs a plot? Certainly not neophyte director Matt Porterfield, whose Hamilton gets along just fine without one.
  8. Ricardo Della Rosa's sumptuous, wide-screen cinematography takes full advantage of the sandy vista, complementing beautiful acting by Montenegro and Torres.
  9. Tucker's message is sometimes on target, even if his film isn't.
  10. A physically impressive, well-acted, sometimes emotionally powerful - and mostly apolitical - re-creation of that awful day that has some conservative pundits praising Stone as some sort of born-again patriot.
  11. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe and the Marquis de Sade (interesting combination, no?).
  12. A British indie as tepid as yesterday morning's tea.
  13. Easily the summer's scariest movie.
  14. If you want to punish your kids, send them to bed without dinner. If you want to disturb, frighten and depress them while making sure they fail biology, take them to the animated feature Barnyard.
  15. This Sundance dud is a turgid gay soap opera with a limp twist, showcasing Robin Williams at his maudlin worst.
  16. For the first half-hour or so, this thing works like white lightning.
  17. The film flawlessly glides along as bodies start piling up. The finale brings to mind another Hitchcock film, "Psycho."
  18. Even on that happy 2005 election day, which was so successful that it led to a December round of elections in which the Sunnis did participate, Poitras takes a break to show us a close-up of someone slitting the neck of a rooster.
  19. QuinceaƱera isn't a work of art, nor does it want to be. But it is a crowd-pleaser.
  20. A lively and poignant comedy with lots of laughs and juicy roles for a roster of seasoned performers who should be seen more often.
  21. I wouldn't have thought it was possible to make a prison picture as utterly boring as Jailbait.
  22. The autobiographical script meanders and the acting never solidifies. Besides, the leads look too old to be in high school - maybe even college.
  23. Miami Vice isn't an action flick but a neo-noir: tough, quiet, moody and hard.
  24. A marginally funny comedy at best, recycles themes, scenes and even lines from Allen's own old movies - like many of Allen's later efforts.
  25. A slumber-party classic that belongs on the same shelf as "Bring It On" and "10 Things I Hate About You." This high-school comedy should do for its 20-year-old star, Brittany Snow, what those movies did for Kirsten Dunst and Julia Stiles.
  26. This generic exercise in computer-generated animation may provide passable entertainment for very young children, but adults will be less than enchanted by its preachiness, talkiness and Communist Party-line political views.
  27. Starts slowly but builds, Hitchcock-style, to a terrifying crescendo. And don't fool yourself into thinking you know what's going to happen.
  28. A fabulous and often hilarious variation on "American Pie" that substitutes quiche, gerbils and various sex toys for apple pie.
  29. "This Is Spinal Tap" took the mockumentary up to 11. Brothers of the Head brings it back down to about four.
  30. Using a hand-held microphone, Mahurin captures the burly, middle-age, salty-tongued cook philosophizing nonstop as he individually prepares mouth-watering high-cholesterol meals from a 900-item menu over a stove he has put together himself.
