  1. Casino Jack
    It's a sordid tale and, in Gibney's telling, a cautionary one.
  2. The Rite
    Only Hopkins, readily referencing his bag of tricks, seems to get what to make of this "inspired by trues events (and a book by Matt Baglio)" hooey.
  3. The Mechanic
    It's a modestly effective but jaw-droppingly violent picture.
  4. Mesrine: Killer Instinct
    Cassel's performance...the best reason to see this, one of the best French (In French with English subtitles) crime thrillers of the new millennium.
  5. Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1
    The lack of dramatic tension that knowing the ending before you being creates isn't a huge drawback.
  6. Somewhere
    Somewhere is a triumph of tedium, banality passing for depth, a vacuous embrace of nothing.
  7. The Way Back
    An entertaining old-fashioned prison escape movie with a touch of the epic about it.
  8. No Strings Attached
    It's a movie benefiting from another sparkling, sexy and emotionally available performance by Natalie Portman.
  9. My Dog Tulip
    A wonderful movie anyone who's ever experienced dog ownership at its most glorious, and most embarrassing.
  10. Made in Dagenham
    One of the most entertaining history lessons you could ever hope to sit through.
  11. Rabbit Hole
    That message, this script and these actors make Rabbit Hole one of the best films of 2010.
  12. The Dilemma
    An unsatisfying if often surprising experience, a less warm and fuzzy "Parenthood."
  13. The Green Hornet
    A violent, clumsy, jokey, badly-plotted and miscast mess.
  14. Country Strong
    A little like modern country music - odd moments of sincerity, heart and authenticity peek through the plastic, the hype and the manufactured hokum.
  15. Season of the Witch
    The best you can say about this hooey is that at least he had the King of the Bs, Ron Perlman, along for a few sidekick laughs.
  16. Inspector Bellamy
    A dry and moody piece built on closely-observed characters, not on thrills or an unraveling plot.
  17. Four Lions
    Its chilling third act suggests that sooner or later, even these riders on the Islamic short bus are going to get one right. And that won't be funny at all.
  18. Blue Valentine
    It's a gritty, almost ugly to look at film, and Cianfrance isn't shy about including a random blast of unwarranted shaky footage.
  19. I Love You Phillip Morris
    It is Carrey, turning his patented rubber-faced, rubber-voiced shtick loose on a role with heart, substance and entertainment value, who makes this romantic farce a movie too good to sit on any studio's shelf.
  20. Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
    You'd better watch out. You'd better not swear. Have a gun handy, loaded for bear. Santa Claus is coming…to Finland.
  21. Gulliver's Travels
    The villains are weak and the narrative has little drive to it.
  22. The King's Speech
    Engrossing and moving story of a alternately warm and combative relationship.
  23. True Grit
    Matt Damon is an interesting, chatty choice to play Laboeuf.
  24. Little Fockers
    Paul Weitz ("Cirque du Freak," "American Dreamz") takes over as director, and the film shows all the signs of re-shoots and re-edits designed to bring in more characters and perhaps find a few more laughs.
  25. Megamind
    The voice casting is on the money and these funny people - and I'm including Pitt, who plays this sort of self-mocking Adonis well, even in animated form - make this cute comedy come off.
  26. Yogi Bear
    The best you can say about this Yogi Bear is that he's harmless. No animal was harmed in the making of this picture except the one Hanna-Barbera made a bundle on almost 50 years ago.
  27. How Do You Know
    Too cute, too star-studded and entirely too long.
  28. Black Swan
    Artful, epic, operatic even, this thriller set in the world of ballet challenges the viewer with its intelligence and depth and wit.
  29. The Fighter
    That rare film in which every performer in it leaves the viewer in awe.
  30. TRON: Legacy
    Like "Avatar," "Legacy" is a film too in love with its own good looks. And like the original "TRON," the sequel's a bit of a slog.
