  1. Get Smart
    Director Peter Segal ups the ante on the action, aiming for Bourne more than Bond, but the stunts grow frenzied and increasingly flat.
  2. Pitch Perfect
    Kendrick is terrific, taking a role that could have slid by on snide and building it into something uniquely funny and touching.
  3. Entourage
    I'm OK with Entourage onscreen because it's really a victory lap for a cast that once earned our DVR-ready affection. To echo Perry Farrell: "Yeah! Oh, yeah!" As for the haters? Hug it out, bitches.
  4. Infamous
    The film's most pleasing surprise is the beautifully nuanced portrait of Capote's confidante, "To Kill a Mockingbird" author Harper Lee, by Sandra Bullock. You heard me. Bullock gives the film what it otherwise lacks: the ring of truth.
  5. Shooter
    Suspended over a deep gully of disbelief, where logic takes more bullets than the bad guys, Shooter still makes the grade as hard-ass action escapism.
  6. Non-Stop
    Luckily, Non-Stop has a way-above-average cast for this kind of nonsense.
  7. Fast & Furious 6
    It’s kickass trash that never pretends to be more. Bonus points for that.
  8. The Seagull
    Purists may object to the cuts the filmmakers have made to Chekhov's text in the name of pacing. (And nuts to that tricked-up ending!) But The Seagull still flies on the wings of humor and heartbreak that made it a Chekhov classic in the first place.
  9. American Reunion
    The laughs that do achieve liftoff are killer. But the real kick is seeing the old gang back and ready to party.
  10. The Good Lie
    The lack of`cheeseball overload is refreshing. I could tell the good lie and say the movie is perfect. It's not. It's often earnest to a fault and fearful of its deeper, darker implications. Still, you won't leave The Good Lie unmoved. Its heart really is in the right place.
  11. Quantum of Solace
    It delivers the popcorn goods, but it ignores the poison eating at Bond's insides. Killer mistake.
  12. Premium Rush
    Premium Rush features fearless stunt work that shames most computer trickery. Too bad I didn't believe a minute of it.
  13. The International
    A decent thriller that should have been dazzling, is nothing if not topical.
  14. Kinky Boots
    Don't worry. It just sounds like another bad Sharon Stone movie. Kinky Boots trips on its contrived plot, but this blend of trash and sass is a comfy fit.
  15. Joy
    The 25-year-old supernova (Lawrence) again proves she can do anything, moving from comic to tragic without missing a beat.
  16. White Girl
    Is there anything less shocking than a movie that thinks it's shocking? See White Girl and discuss — and you should see it, if only for the all-stops-out performance of Morgan Saylor.
  17. Running with Scissors
    Too much manic energy runs the movie off the rails.
  18. She's Out of My League
    A rowdy blast because the spiky young cast treats the played-out script like virgin territory. That's acting!
  19. Four Brothers
    What holds us are the actors, including Terrence Howard as a cop who grew up with the brothers.
  20. Justice League
    Justice League is a decent crowdpleaser, preferable in every way to the candy-assed cynicism of Suicide Squad. But sometimes shadows need to fall to show us what to be scared of. In the end, this all-star team-up is too afraid of the dark to work its way into our dreams.
  21. Live Free or Die Hard
    Gets the action job done and you better believe that Bruce is still the man.
  22. Concussion
    The film goes slack when its screws most need to tighten. Luckily, Smith — flawless in accent and commitment to Omalu's worthy cause — grips you from first to last.
  23. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
    What saves the day is the spidery, schizoid Gollum, again performed by the great Andy Serkis through the craft of motion capture.
  24. The Commuter
    In the doldrums of January, the movie pulls out every trick in the suspense-thriller book to keep us grinning at each new absurdity. Silly? You bet. Irresistible? Totally.
  25. Towelhead
    The heart of the movie is really in Jasira's moments with her father, a mass of contradictions that Macdissi plays with comic ferocity and genuine feeling.
  26. Whip It
    At moments, especially in the conflicted intimacy between Marcia Gay Harden and Daniel Stern as Bliss' parents, Barrymore shows real directing chops. But in Whip It she's painting inside the box.
  27. Love Ranch
    "GoodFellas" Oscar winner Pesci, who hasn't appeared onscreen in a major role since 1998's "Lethal Weapon 4," is a dynamo of conflicting emotions. And Mirren, bawdy in ways that erase all memory of her award-winning role as Elizabeth II in "The Queen," is magnificent.
  28. Rango
    Rango is like nothing you've ever seen.
  29. The 15:17 to Paris
    The complex movie that might have been is still on the drawing board, teasing us with a deeper story that's disappointingly out of reach.
  30. The Woman in Black
    The Woman in Black doesn't break new ground, but in its suggestions of fine film ghost stories, from "The Innocents" to "The Others" and "The Orphanage," it works you over with riveting restraint.
