  1. Spellbound
    Many of the kids seem to be social outcasts of one kind or another, but Spellbound, which will show on cable later this year, doesn't dig deep enough to disturb the movie's relentless feel-good tone.
  2. Identity
    Builds steadily from its smarter-than-your-average-horror-film beginnings to a genuinely cunning psychological thriller with a third-act twist guaranteed to shock even the most eagle-eyed watchers.
  3. Confidence
    Features all too much footage of the scowling Burns, who has a narrower range than almost any actor working in Hollywood these days.
  4. It Runs in the Family
    An exercise in drudgery... The whole thing is so patently uninteresting it's hard to see it as anything but a Douglas family vanity project.
  5. Jersey Guy
    The only pro involved in this amateurish labor of love is veteran character actor Arthur Nascarella, cast as Jack's florist father.
  6. Returning Mickey Stern
    Prywes has produced a technically accomplished nostalgia piece on a shoestring budget, but the plotting is too sitcom-lite to support its aspirations to magic realism.
  7. People I Know
    Nasty but compulsively watchable.
  8. Manic
    Excellent performances redeem Jordan Melamed's gritty teenage version of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
  9. City of Ghosts
    A Southeast Asian thriller that positively reeks of atmosphere - but is woefully lacking in narrative credibility or character development.
  10. House of Fools
    Konchalovsky, best known here for "Runaway Train" (1985), takes on a difficult subject with a light mix of dark humor and pathos.
  11. Marooned in Iraq
    Eventually turns somber, with stark depiction of mass graves and suffering refugees. The final scene will break your heart.
  12. Mr. and Mrs. Iyer
    The central narrative is ultimately too one-dimensional to sustain interest.
  13. The Real Cancun
    It actually works as a sometimes funny, occasionally scandalous, but mostly involving narrative.
  14. A Decade Under the Influence
    The decade under discussion in this enjoyable documentary is the 1970s, a period that changed Hollywood forever.
  15. Onmyoji: The Yin Yang Master
    Every once in a while the old-fashioned costume drama comes alive, only to sink again into run-of-the-mill special effects and long periods of talkative tedium.
  16. Malibu's Most Wanted
    Has laugh-out-loud moments of inspired idiocy. The problem is that this one-joke skit (done first and better by Britain's Ali G) has been given the Hamburger Helper treatment and stretched to feature length.
  17. Venus and Mars
    A mild cross between "The Big Chill" and "Sex and the City," this English-language German oddity is a romantic comedy passing through on its way to video.
  18. Lilya 4-Ever
    Lilya is portrayed by Oksana Akinshina, who gives a dynamic, heartbreaking performance... She was wonderful in ["Brothers"], but is even more astonishing in Lilya 4-Ever.
  19. Holes
    Suffers even more than the Harry Potter films from a compulsion to be faithful to the source material, including cramming in a head-spinning assortment of characters and subplots.
  20. Winged Migration
    A thrillingly vicarious experience that answers a primal urge to join our feathered friends as they soar and glide in the blue beyond.
  21. Bulletproof Monk
    Relentlessly stupid.
  22. Chasing Papi
    This pursuit farce is harmless (if stale) entertainment, but the sledge-hammer attempt to appeal to the country's fastest-growing movie-going demographic makes for a clunky narrative and one-note characters.
  23. Love and Diane
    You are left with two emotions - despair and hope - after watching producer-director Jennifer Dworkin's disquieting documentary.
  24. Samehada otoko to momojiri onna
    The non-linear plot makes for confusion and, except for the inspired final shootout, the action sequences are mediocre.
  25. Ali Zoua: Prince of the Streets
    Ali Zaoua doesn't have the fireworks that made "City of God," the story of Brazilian youth gangs, a crossover hit. But in its own, low-key way, Ali Zaoua is just as stirring.
  26. A Mighty Wind
    A hilarious, pitch-perfect comedy.
  27. The Young Unknowns
    A skin-deep examination of a shallow lifestyle that draws a conclusion so logical it's almost superfluous.
  28. Marion Bridge
    An earnest, if dreary little Canadian domestic drama.
  29. Anger Management
    A ragged piece of filmmaking, but the odds are you'll have as good a time watching it as Nicholson and Sandler seemed to have making it.
  30. XX/XY
    It's awkward, listless and fails to reach any sort of climax.
