  1. Being Charlie
    Many a road to movie hell is paved with good intentions. To that list of lost causes add Being Charlie, a well-meaning study of addiction that hits too many banal beats to snap us to attention.
  2. A Bigger Splash
    Everything in this movie is so ripe and voluptuous that watching it doesn't seem enough, you want to take a bite out of it.
  3. Captain America: Civil War
    Kudos to the Russo brothers, Joe and Anthony, for directing the hostilities for maximum impact and without neglecting character. Their thundering epic is also smart, snappy, politically savvy and blessedly fast on its feet.
  4. Papa: Hemingway in Cuba
    As a movie, Papa improves every time it shuts up and allows action to define character.
  5. The Family Fang
    Kidman and Bateman make a potent team in a provocative film that questions the limits of art in a world that forgets to be human. The result is funny, touching and vital.
  6. Mother's Day
    Director Garry Marshall is a menace. He keeps killing holidays with all-star comedies in which a laugh would die of loneliness.
  7. Keanu
    Even when the laughs don't always snap, Key and Peele are ready with another one or a dozen that do. These dudes really are the cat's meow.
  8. A Hologram for the King
    There's no denying the ambition in A Hologram for the King, but a struggle does not add up to a satisfying movie — or even a reasonable facsimile of the beauty and terror Eggers evokes on the page.
  9. The Meddler
    The Meddler belongs to Sarandon, a famously no-bull actress who digs in deep, showing us how moms aren't one thing, they're all things. How else can they make you laugh from love and cry from crazy? The Meddler knows how. Listen up.
  10. Nina
    Onscreen, Nina barely scratches the surface much less draws blood. For the essence of a legend, listen to the real Simone sing "I Put a Spell on You." She sure as hell does. This movie emphatically does not.
  11. Elvis & Nixon
    It ain't fact, but it is damn entertaining fiction.
  12. The Huntsman: Winter's War
    Nothing can match seeing Theron and Blunt try to out-camp each other, providing the only glimmer of entertainment in a film dedicated to being ponderous. No one sings "Let It Go," but my advice to audiences is to do just that before mistakenly buying a ticket.
  13. Barbershop: The Next Cut
    Barbershop: The Next Cut is stagey, often simplistic and it talks too damn much. But, hell, the talk has flavor and snap and a real-world sense of a community in crisis. Not bad for an escapist romp.
  14. Green Room
    Green Room is way more than crass exploitation. It's a B movie with an art-house core.
  15. Sing Street
    Sing Street is the most romantic movie you'll find anywhere these days, brimming over with music, fun and the thrill of first love.
  16. The Jungle Book
    A visual marvel that cuts a direct path to the heart.
  17. Demolition
    When humor is served black, they call it dramedy. When it's done in this movie, I call it indigestible.
  18. The Boss
    The result this time is just as hit and miss. But when it hits, yowsa.
  19. Hardcore Henry
    It's all about the ride, the relentless wallop and whoosh. But, hey, sometimes that's all a cine-junkie needs for a fix.
  20. Miles Ahead
    Like "Born To Be Blue," Miles Ahead is allergic to all things biopic, especially the cheap psychology and the effort to tie up a complex life with a neat bow.
  21. Everybody Wants Some!!
    It'll slap on a smile on your face that won't quit.
  22. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
    What once bubbled up from a sincere love of Greek family has now congealed into the all-too-familiar Hollywood tale of milking a cash cow until cries for mercy.
  23. I Saw the Light
    Hiddleston is not what's wrong with this movie. But damn near everything else is.
  24. Born to be Blue
    Everything that makes Ethan Hawke an extraordinary actor — his energy, his empathy, his fearless, vanity-free eagerness to explore the deeper recesses of a character — is on view in Born to Be Blue.
  25. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    Better than Man of Steel but below the high bar set by Nolan's Dark Knight, Dawn of Justice is still a colossus, the stuff that DC Comics dreams are made of for that kid in all of us who yearns to see Batman and Superman suit up and go in for the kill.
  26. My Golden Days
    Yes, it's in French with English subtitles. Don't worry. Nothing gets lost in translation as this coming-of-age tale brims over with humor, heartbreak and ravishing romance.
  27. The Divergent Series: Allegiant
    If only their stuff had a spark of life it might be forgivable, but Allegiant plods along like a franchise on its last legs. Who remembers where we left off last time in Insurgent? My point exactly — no one.
  28. Midnight Special
    Go with it. Let Nichols turn your head around. He sure as hell will. One caveat: Nichols drops you into the action, no backstory road map. What you see is what you get. Luckily, what you get is extraordinary.
  29. Hello, My Name Is Doris
    Even when the film fails her, Field never loses her focus.
  30. City of Gold
    In essence, City of Gold is a celebration of a critic who helped define a city by what it eats. And at a bargain price. So take notes, and dig in.
