  1. Margot at the Wedding
    While there are a lot of similarities between Rohmer's body of work and Baumbach's latest, the most crucial aspect linking the films is a difference: Rohmer's love of conversation and languorous pace engages the intellect; Baumbach provides a good alternative to an over-the-counter sleep aid.
  2. Roofman
    The movie makes a variety of changes to Jeffrey’s story to make it more cinematic, but without the kind of narrative reworking needed to streamline the material, the result feels unfocused and shapeless.
  3. Shall We Dance?
    This is a film for anyone who prefers to leave the theater smiling.
  4. Scream
    Scream is a rarity: a horror movie spoof that succeeds almost as well at provoking scares as laughs.
  5. Kick-Ass
    The best superhero movie since "The Dark Knight" (and far less serious in tone or approach), Kick-Ass earns its name in every way.
  6. A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries
    Not only was I touched by the characters and engrossed by their story during the 120 minutes they were on screen, but I could have easily spent another hour or two with them.
  7. Mean Girls
    The limp climax doesn't undo the solid humor, wicked social commentary, and delicious satire that precedes it, but it leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. In the end, Mean Girls isn't mean enough.
  8. Transamerica
    As much heralded, "edgy" movies go, Transamerica fails to live up to expectations.
  9. Philadelphia
    The story is timely and powerful, and the performances of Hanks and Washington assure that the characters will not immediately vanish into obscurity.
  10. Dumb Money
    An engagingly lighthearted rags-to-riches romp with a David vs. Goliath element, the movie uses its real-life basis to formulate a modern day fairy tale.
  11. The Good Dinosaur
    Visually, The Good Dinosaur boasts some of the most amazingly photo-realistic sets I have seen in any animated film.
  12. Miami Vice
    The two best words to describe the 2006 motion picture Miami Vice are "stylish" and "intense."
  13. Master
    Master is something of a mixed bag but and, for those hoping to find the next Get Out, the search must go on.
  14. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
    There are things to like about the second Hobbit film - the director's vision of Middle Earth is as beguiling as ever - but the bloating that was a problem with An Unexpected Journey is an even bigger issue here.
  15. The Amazing Spider-Man
    For me, this is as deflating a movie as I have seen all year. Not the worst, to be sure, but a project so utterly unnecessary that it made me want to gnash my teeth in frustration.
  16. Nixon
    In this motion picture, Oliver Stone presents his vision of the forces that drove and motivated the late President. And, factual or not, there's no denying that Nixon has moments when it is nothing short of compelling.
  17. Premium Rush
    This one delivers.
  18. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
    The movie is jovial without being silly; it retains the sense of adventure that characterizes the Western, but replaces the often somber mood with one that is airy and, at times, almost comedic.
  19. Marshall
    By limiting the film’s time frame, the narrative is allowed to breathe and, as a result, we get a distinct snapshot not only of the main character but of the setting that resulted in his becoming historically important.
  20. Splice
    Splice is as much a psychological thriller and drama about bio-ethics as it is a horror movie. Like the vastly superior "The Fly," it uses gore sparingly; delivering shocks to the audience is a secondary consideration.
  21. Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams
    Has once again caught lightning in a bottle and unleashed it on audiences, blending humor, adventure, and a lot of nifty special effects-enabled gadgets and creatures into a movie that provides 1 1/2 hours of unfettered entertainment for children, grandparents, and everyone in between.
  22. Mothering Sunday
    Beautifully filmed and emotionally on-target when confined to 1924, Mothering Sunday loses its way once unmoored in time and left adrift on the currents of the years to come.
  23. Elf
    More likely to end up on the snow pile of forgettable Christmas-themed movies than in the vault of memorable ones.
  24. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
    Although targeted primarily for girls in the 12-to-19-year old range, there's enough truth about friendship, love, and life in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants to offer solid entertainment to almost anyone who gives it a chance.
  25. Harriet
    By blending facts, myths, and made-up material, Lemons weaves a strong, engaging tale but, at least on some level, there’s a sense of a missed opportunity to do something grander.
  26. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
    The battles and a climactic action sequence are well filmed but Kingdom isn’t trying to outdo the other summer films when it comes to edge-of-the-seat viewing. In a strange way, I find that refreshing.
  27. Cobb
    Shelton took a chance with this film. Given a less talented performer, Cobb could have been an awkward, over-the-top melodrama. As it is, however, the movie works much as Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle does -- as an unobstructed view of human degradation and the damage it wreaks.
  28. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
    Fantastic Beasts is an enjoyable stand-alone but its position as the progenitor of a new franchise remains unclear.
  29. Elio
    It’s a reasonable way to get out of the heat for a few hours and give your kid a treat but don’t expect to get as much out of it as you would if you were part of the under-10 crowd.
  30. The Broadway Melody
    Anyone approaching it today will find it horribly dated, badly produced, and filled with uninspired musical numbers and over-the-top performances. This is the kind of movie that turns off children of today's generation from titles made during the early talkie era.
