  1. The Town
    The pieces and parts assembled herein are familiar, but the manner in which Affleck puts them together results in an engrossing two hours of cinema.
  2. Easy A
    Easy A may not be a great movie, but it is a knowing and enjoyable one.
  3. Devil
    Devil will do little to dispel the growing belief that Shyamalan is a one-trick pony whose horse has keeled over. The laughter during the trailer was sadly prescient; the film is a joke.
  4. Catfish
    One problem is that none of the characters are interesting and the situation is clichéd.
  5. Never Let Me Go
    It is an accepted truth that adapting a sublime novel does not always result in a sublime movie. To an extent, this is the problem with Never Let Me Go.
  6. The Virginity Hit
    The Virginity Hit is fresh, unpretentious fun, but the comedy is so raw that it will appeal only to those who appreciate this sort of unfiltered peek into the mind of males in their late teens and early twenties.
  7. Heartbreaker
    Heartbreaker isn't disappointing enough that it will cause pangs of deep regret for anyone who pays to see it in a movie theater, but it will go down more easily as a home viewing option.
  8. Going the Distance
    To date, no motion picture has adequately captured the soaring highs and devastating lows associated with a long distance relationship, but Going the Distance comes as close as any movie has.
  9. Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1
    Although Killer Instinct is the better of the two parts, Public Enemy No. 1 is a worthy continuation, providing closure to a tale that was interrupted just as things were getting really interesting.
  10. Machete
    Director Robert Rodriguez understands the exploitation genre and delivers everything one craves from it - over-the-top, graphic violence; scenery-chewing villains; cheesy one-liners; and plenty of naked boobs and bums.
  11. The American
    Anyone who understands what The American offers should come away pleased with the final product.
  12. Mesrine: Killer Instinct
    As biographical crime thrillers go, Killer Instinct is a worthy entry to the genre, although the incompleteness of the story makes it difficult to evaluate on its own. The movie needs to be seen in the context of a greater whole for it to be fully appreciated.
  13. The Last Exorcism
    The Last Exorcism is one of those rare films where the marketing campaign is more interesting than the film it publicizes.
  14. Centurion
    Marshall, who helmed the underrated horror film, "The Descent," has a flair for the visual. Some of the mountainscapes, captured by use of a helicopter, are nothing short of spectacular.
  15. Takers
    The style feels a little like that of the recently departed TV show "24," albeit without Kiefer Sutherland, the split screens, and the ticking clock.
  16. The Switch
    It would be nice to argue that the good outweighs the bad in The Switch, but it's a wash.
  17. Soul Kitchen
    The only reason Soul Kitchen is being marketed as an "art film" in the United States is because it is subtitled. On merit, this is as mainstream as one can imagine - a generic, feel-good plot that's fit for a sit-com. Call it My Big Fat Greek Restaurant.
  18. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
    This is not the first time Wright has shown his understanding for such things, nor is this the first occasion in which he has displayed a strong sense of comedic timing, but Scott Pilgrim vs. the World feels fresher and more inspired than his previous outings, and that makes it an excellent source of late-summer entertainment.
  19. Eat Pray Love
    A muddle of a film - an overlong bore that either mistakenly thinks it's something more than a humdrum romance or has incorporated a variety of pretentions as window-dressing.
  20. The Expendables
    In the final analysis, The Expendables is little more than an ordinary, uninspired action feature.
  21. The Other Guys
    The film's first 15 minutes are by far the most fun (and could be the best quarter-hour of any movie released this year), with Samuel L. Jackson and The Rock letting it all hang out.
  22. Cairo Time
    Cairo Time is a valentine to Egypt.
  23. The Disappearance of Alice Creed
    As intense and as harrowing as any British thriller to emerge from the east side of the Atlantic in recent years, and there are some good titles vying for that distinction.
  24. Flipped
    Flipped is Rob Reiner's best film in 18 years, and includes echoes of two of his most accomplished efforts, "The Sure Thing" and "Stand By Me."
  25. Dinner for Schmucks
    The film is sporadically amusing but gives the impression it should be generating more laughs than it does.
  26. Charlie St. Cloud
    Clumsily incorporates elements of "Ghost," "The Sixth Sense," and "Field of Dreams."
  27. Salt
    Salt is more than mere seasoning; it's a full bouillabaisse comprised of bits and pieces of James Bond, "The Manchurian Candidate," "The Bourne Identity," TV's "24," and the Nelson DeMille novel "The Charm School."
  28. Life During Wartime
    Relies on uncomfortable black humor and moments of sincere drama to involve viewers. But everything is encased in artifice and the movie becomes a chore to take in.
  29. Countdown to Zero
    The best medium in which to view Countdown to Zero is on The History Channel, not in a theater.
  30. Inception
    The versatile actor brings the full weight of his talent to bear on a difficult role. DiCaprio has to hint at unpleasant secrets in Cobb's past while forging a bond with the audience. It's up to the performer to make Inception more about human beings than about special effects. He succeeds and that's one reason why this movie isn't only about challenging ideas and eye candy.
