  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Green Room
    Green Room is way more than crass exploitation. It's a B movie with an art-house core.
  4. 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.
  5. The Jungle Book
    A visual marvel that cuts a direct path to the heart.
  6. Demolition
    When humor is served black, they call it dramedy. When it's done in this movie, I call it indigestible.
  7. The Boss
    The result this time is just as hit and miss. But when it hits, yowsa.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Everybody Wants Some!!
    It'll slap on a smile on your face that won't quit.
  11. 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.
  12. I Saw the Light
    Hiddleston is not what's wrong with this movie. But damn near everything else is.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Hello, My Name Is Doris
    Even when the film fails her, Field never loses her focus.
  19. 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.
  20. Creative Control
    Creative Control goes its own playful, provocative way. For a film about technology's growing dehumanization, this stylized beauty is a frisky, formidable temptation.
  21. The Brothers Grimsby
    It's the strafing satire that's MIA.
  22. Eye in the Sky
    The suspense is killer as military minds in the US and the UK come together only to lock horns on a drone operation in Nairobi.
  23. 10 Cloverfield Lane
    10 Cloverfield Lane comes loaded with everything a psychological thriller needs to shatter your nerves — and then kicks it up a notch.
  24. London Has Fallen
    Make American movies great again. You can start by boycotting this one.
  25. Knight of Cups
    Must all films about alienation be themselves alienating? Take a walk on the beach and ponder that one. There's a line between artful and arty, and Malick has crossed it.
  26. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
    There's a lot going on here. Maybe too much. The filmmakers can't draw coherence out of chaos. But Fey does.
  27. Zootopia
    A tour through the byways of Zootopia is a bracing blend of color and richly detailed design.
  28. Gods of Egypt
    Some movies are so effing awful they're hilarious. Gods of Egypt falls short of that lofty goal. Not because it isn’t effing awful — it so is — but because it pretends to be in on the joke.
  29. Only Yesterday (1991)
    Only Yesterday comes from a quieter, less demonstrative place. As he did in his most recent and reportedly final film, "The Tale of the Princess Kaguya," Takahata has built Only Yesterday to go gently and to last. Mission accomplished.
  30. Eddie the Eagle
    The filmmakers don't trust us to understand what Eddie is feeling about the Olympics without blaring a musical message from Hall and Oates on the soundtrack, "you make my dreams come true."
