  1. Firewall
    As a thriller, Firewall is flabby and familiar.
  2. Neil Young: Heart of Gold
    This is more than a movie, it's a privilege.
  3. A Good Woman
    Hunt's flat delivery is mercilessly cruel to Wilde's delicious epigrams. That sound you hear is Oscar spinning madly in his grave.
  4. Bubble
    A potent and provocative look at life unhinged. Bubble is said to be the first in a series of six low-budget films from Soderbergh. If they all rock the boat like this one, bring 'em on.
  5. Manderlay
    Howard struggles with the role Kidman nailed. And the graphic nude scene in which "proudy slave" Timothy (Isaach De Bankole) puts a towel over Grace's head before ravishing her pale body is as rugged on the audience as it is on the actors.
  6. Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story
    It's really inventive and bizarre and marvelously entertaining.
  7. Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World
    This Brooks is a comedian who forgets the golden rule of "know your audience." He thinks he'll get his laughs if he keeps doing the same act with better lighting.
  8. Why We Fight
    Why We Fight deserves high praise for making it that much tougher to wear blinders.
  9. Glory Road
    Josh Lucas plays Haskins with a no-bull vigor that comes in handy when the script saddles him with all-bull platitudes.
  10. Fateless
    This unique and devastating look at the Holocaust is drawn from the autobiographical novel of 2002 Nobel Prize winner Imre Kertesz.
  11. Match Point
    Woody Allen's best movie in years means to trip us up: Sexual sizzle. London instead of Manhattan. Brit actors. Dark humor with a sting that leaves welts. You bet it's a change. And it looks good on the Woodman.
  12. Casanova
    Ledger's comic flair is a big plus in a film that is fanatically busy and fatally sexless.
  13. Rumor Has It...
    Following "Derailed," this comic turd makes it two strikes for Jennifer Aniston. She looks great, but her acting is board-stiff.
  14. The New World
    Malick and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki -- a grandmaster at blending color and natural light -- craft a tone poem that may throw some audiences through its use of interior monologues.
  15. The Matador
    Writer-director Richard Shepard gives Brosnan his meatiest role ever, and he digs in with relish.
  16. Munich
    Bana is magnificent in the role.
  17. Caché (Hidden)
    Casts a spell that grips you and won't let go. The film works as a provocation, on a personal and a political level.
  18. The Ringer
    It's getting harder to sustain a rooting interest in the career of Johnny Knoxville.
  19. Cheaper by the Dozen 2
    There's something pernicious about a toxic mix of sitcom and snickering sex jokes getting packaged and effectively sold as wholesome fun for the family.
  20. Fun with Dick and Jane
    Build a comedy around Jim Carrey in manic mode and they will come. Case in point: Fun With Dick and Jane, a pointless, painfully unfunny and yet inexplicably popular remake of the 1977 fizzle with Jane Fonda and George Segal.
  21. The White Countess
    Richardson -- acting with her mother, Vanessa Redgrave, who plays her aunt, and her aunt Lynn Redgrave, who plays her mother -- finds the story's grieving heart. Fiennes is her match in soulful artistry.
  22. The Family Stone
    Keaton, a sorceress at blending humor and heartbreak, honors the film with a grace that makes it stick in the memory.
  23. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
    Sam Peckinpah lives! The rampaging spirit of the late filmmaker, known as Bloody Sam for films such as "The Wild Bunch" and "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia," is all over this blistering modern Western from first-time director Tommy Lee Jones.
  24. The Producers
    Stroman should have studied the original Producers that Brooks directed in 1968, with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder. It answers the question "Where did they go right?"
  25. King Kong
    Here is the jaw-dropping, eye-popping, heart-stopping movie epic we've been waiting for all year.
  26. Brokeback Mountain
    Ang Lee's unmissable and unforgettable Brokeback Mountain hits you like a shot in the heart. It's a landmark film and a triumph for Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.
  27. Memoirs of a Geisha
    Any doubts about three Chinese actresses speaking English with Japanese accents vanish in the face of their deeply felt performances and the world Marshall conjures with magical finesse.
  28. Mrs Henderson Presents
    The subplot involving a tragic romance between a soldier and one of the living statues (the lovely Kelly Reilly) is hell on the humor and on a movie that stays content to do the trite thing.
  29. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
    This PG-rated movie feels safe and constricted in a way the story never does on the page. It leaves out the deep magic of a good movie, or a good sermon: the feeling that something vital is at stake.
  30. The World's Fastest Indian
    Even a nice chianti couldn't help you wash down this lump of tear-jerking twaddle.
