  1. Kill Bill: Vol. 2
    As it currently stands, Kill Bill is a victim of its director's ego and its distributor's greed. The moments of greatness make it worth seeing, and there's certainly plenty of entertainment to be found here, but it's hard not to lament what might have been.
  2. The Punisher
    The Punisher isn't Frank Castle; it's Jonathan Hensleigh. And the punishee is anyone sitting in the audience.
  3. Young Adam
    Darkly effective, and its grip lasts longer than we might be entirely comfortable with.
  4. The Alamo
    The good news first: The Alamo is probably the most historically accurate depiction yet to reach the screen of the famous siege. The bad news is that "historically accurate" does not necessarily translate into "dramatically successful."
  5. Ella Enchanted
    The result is an unappealing mess, made less bearable by uniformly lackluster performances and the cheesy special effects.
  6. The Girl Next Door
    Builds up enough good will during its successful first half that we're willing to forgive some of the strange and disappointing convolutions the plot takes us through during the final 45 minutes.
  7. I'm Not Scared
    With its unique perspective on both the coming-of-age and thriller genres, the movie deserves to be seen by a wider audience than the one that normally frequents subtitled movies.
  8. Hellboy
    Hellboy likely won't be the best comic-to-screen adaptation this year, but, squared off against its early-season challenger, Marvel's "The Punisher," this is the winner.
  9. The Prince and Me
    It's a perfect choice for a mother/daughter evening out...decently constructed, solidly performed, and not too naïve.
  10. Walking Tall
    Instead of generating a testosterone rush, the fight scenes release tryptophan. Not only are they boring, but they are choreographed in an amateurish fashion.
  11. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring
    Using perfectly composed shots to amplify an emotionally resonant story, the film successfully argues that "artistic" films do not have to be boring.
  12. Jersey Girl
    A lackluster melodrama with only a few inspired moments.
  13. The Ladykillers
    I suspect that mainstream audiences will find plenty of things to take pleasure in, even though some viewers may be bewildered by what the Coens do. But for those who share my taste in comedy, this is a must-not-miss.
  14. Dogville
    Dogville isn't for everyone, but there's some intellectually stimulating conversation fodder for those with the patience to navigate the film's rough terrain.
  15. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
    This is unlike any other film I have seen... it's a great romance. It's willingness to flout conventions and eschew formulas is just one of many things to celebrate about this charmingly eccentric movie.
  16. Taking Lives
    The movie voids a lot of good will with a cheesy ending. This is just the kind of denouement I was hoping Taking Lives wouldn't sink to, yet it does.
  17. Dawn of the Dead
    Calling this version of Dawn of the Dead a remake is applying a misnomer. It's more of a re-imagination.
  18. Bon voyage
    Unfortunately, a little too much pointless running around coupled with the underdevelopment of several key characters results in a movie that's never more than mildly diverting.
  19. Secret Window
    It's a taught, entertaining motion picture that serves its purpose.
  20. Spartan
    The movie worked for me both as a commentary on the electoral process and as a slightly overcooked thriller.
  21. Knafayim Shvurot
    This film is an autopsy of a family that has been sundered by the death of the father and primary care-giver.
  22. Games People Play: New York
    Part documentary, part parody, and part something indefinable, the film manages to succeed on its own terms and entertain on just about anyone's.
  23. Starsky & Hutch
    The key to the film's success is that it uses the burned out premise as the springboard for a comedy, not an action flick.
  24. Hidalgo
    A family film (albeit a mediocre one).
  25. Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
    It's only possible to have the time of your life once, and, for this franchise, that was in 1987.
  26. Twisted
    Twisted is a D-grade thriller with an A-list cast. It's a disappointment from start to finish...But, in the final quarter-hour, it committed the unpardonable sin of insulting my intelligence.
  27. Goodbye Lenin!
    It is not a step-by-step chronicle of German reunification, but it gives a perspective of the time. It's a bonus that this comes as part of an engrossing and well told story.
  28. The Passion of the Christ
    A gripping, powerful motion picture -- arguably the most forceful depiction of Jesus' death ever to be committed to film. It leaves an indelible imprint on the psyche; viewers of this movie may never look at a crucifix in quite the same way.
  29. Kitchen Stories
    It's a simple story told well, with plenty of lighthearted moments and kernels of thought-provoking material, but little to really excite the cinematic appetite.
  30. Against the Ropes
    It succeeds in many of the ways a sports movie should, and, by employing a slightly different viewpoint for most of the production, manages a sense of freshness.
