  1. 21 Grams
    Stunningly photographed, largely with a hand-held camera, by Rodrigo Prieto (another member of the "Amores Perros" team) on gritty locations in Memphis and Albuquerque, 21 Grams is also a visual tour de force - and a rare Hollywood product depicting class differences with any kind of honesty.
  2. The Cat in the Hat
    The narrative itself, attributed to three former "Seinfeld" writers who also worked on "The Grinch," reeks of desperation.
  3. Gothika
    The movie spins further and further into coincidence and incoherence.
  4. The Barbarian Invasions
    Schmaltzy and contrived.
  5. Acts of Worship
    Occasionally becomes melodramatic.
  6. Blue Gate Crossing
    The sensitive subject matter is handled discreetly by writer-director Chin-yen Yee, who never lets the story sink into exploitation or finger-pointing.
  7. Mail Order Bride
    As if the witless cultural stereotypes weren't bad enough, misogyny is rampant -- bare-breasted women abound, yet the protagonist remains fully clothed while having a bullet removed from his butt.
  8. El leyton
    Never rises above the level of a soap opera, although the steamy sex and Lo's abundant nudity might make it worthwhile for some viewers.
  9. The Missing
    Ironically, what's lacking in Howard's stark, often brutal, late 19th-century chase drama is emotional punch.
  10. Anything But Love
    Comes perilously close to being a vanity production for the obscure singer Isabel Rose, who stars and wrote the autobiographical screenplay with neophyte director Robert Cary, based on her own struggles as a cabaret singer.
  11. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
    A thoughtful, rousing and beautifully crafted epic.
  12. Looney Tunes: Back in Action
    The meta jokes come thick and fast - some clunk, but there's no time to mourn - and the references are far from limited to the Warner Bros. world (at one point, Bugs exclaims, "Whaddya know - I found Nemo!").
  13. Tupac: Resurrection
    Paints a vivid portrait of a compelling young man but, perhaps inevitably, goes overboard on the deification.
  14. A House on a Hill
    Ultimately has a somewhat unfinished quality that complements the movie's themes -- and Hall's haunting performance.
  15. The Singing Forest
    Amateurish, irritatingly gabby indie.
  16. Hukkle
    One of the most original and stylish films to come along this year.
  17. My Architect
    The result is an immensely enjoyable portrait of a strange-looking, non-comforming genius who loved women as much as designing masterpieces but was never able to commit to them. In other words: great architect, lousy family man.
  18. Elf
    Ferrell's manic, overgrown-kid energy sweeps all before it, announcing him - after his standout turn in "Old School" - as a major leading-man talent who can charm as well as amuse.
  19. Love Actually
    By far the best single performance in the film - and it is really, really terrific, utterly believable and moving - is by Emma Thompson. To the extent that there is genuine feeling in the movie that doesn't feel slickly manipulative, it's in the scenes involving her character.
  20. Billabong Odyssey
    Follows a narrative arc as choppy as a messy windswell, and the result is a dog's dinner of profiles, repetitive narration, safety tips and banal "insights" into the joys and dangers of cresting waves that sometimes reach 70 feet.
  21. Gloomy Sunday
    The fine cast, the elegant settings and the swoony title song somehow draw you in.
  22. In My Skin
    Needless to say, In My Skin isn't for everybody. It's recommended to viewers who, like Esther, want to feel something, no matter how distasteful.
  23. Just an American Boy
    A mediocre music documentary about veteran country rocker and activist Steve Earle, who created a furor with a song sympathetic to American Taliban John Walker Lindh.
  24. Hidden in Plain Sight
    The result is anti-Army propaganda rather than a balanced piece of reporting.
  25. Martin & Orloff
    Might have worked as a 10-minute sketch.
  26. The Matrix Revolutions
    This (hopefully) final chapter's interminable first hour...showcases some of the clunkiest dialogue and wooden acting since the most recent "Star Wars" movies.
  27. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
    A fascinating front-row seat for what could be history's shortest-lived coup.
  28. The Human Stain
    Though Human Stain is sometimes too chaotic and sometimes too neat, it boasts some of the best acting of the year.
  29. Suspended Animation
    The opening and closing scenes are scary and should please fans of the genre, especially at Halloween time.
  30. Die, Mommie, Die!
    Occasionally stagy and flat, "Die" is worth seeing for Busch's grand performance, which won him a Special Jury Prize at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
