  1. The Amazing Spider-Man 2
    Things go wrong quickly with Amazing 2. Am I the only one who hates the word Amazing to describe a movie that isn't? Just asking. If I had to pinpoint where this epic goes south, I'd start with the tonal shifts.
  2. Transcendence
    All I can cull is: don't mess with Mother Nature and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Fortune-cookie stuff. Erase All.
  3. Locke
    It's a powerhouse of claustrophobic suspense and fierce emotion, mostly because Tom Hardy, best known as Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises," is a blazing wonder as Locke.
  4. Only Lovers Left Alive
    Jarmusch, as ever, has the power to sneak up on you. He's a spellbinder. The same goes for his movie.
  5. Joe
    Sheridan, so good in "Mud" with Matthew McConaughey, excels here as a vulnerable sapling.
  6. Under the Skin
    A brave experiment in cinema that richly rewards the demands it makes. The result is an amazement, a film of beauty and shocking gravity.
  7. Nymphomaniac: Volume II
    With raw shock and a riveting Uma Thurman absent this time, Nymphomaniac: Volume II is a metaphoric limp dick.
  8. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    Captain America: The Winter Soldier is every rousing, whup-ass thing you want in an escapist adventure.
  9. The Raid 2
    The Raid 2 lets its warriors rip for two and a half thrilling hours. With the precision of dance and the punch of a KO champion, Evans keeps the action coming like nobody's business. The wow factor is off the charts.
  10. Noah
    Hold off on burning Aronofsky at the stake till you see Noah, a film of grit, grace and visual wonders that for all its tech-head modernity is built on a spiritual core.
  11. Divergent
    Except for Kate Winslet's fearsome turn as a villain, the only terror Divergent roused in me was that the drag-ass thing would never end. Sorry, I'm a Candor.
  12. Muppets Most Wanted
    After the delicious treat of 2011's "The Muppets," with Jason Segel and Amy Adams joining Kermit, Miss Piggy and the gang, Muppets Most Wanted feels like tasteless leftovers.
  13. Nymphomaniac: Volume I
    I refuse to render a final verdict on the latest cinematic outrage from Danish provocateur Lars Von Trier until Volume Two drops its undies on April 18th. But I will say this for Volume One: It's a mesmerizing mind game.
  14. Veronica Mars
    It's Bell – riding high with the Disney-animated "Frozen" and Showtime's carnal-fixated "House of Lies" – you want to follow anywhere. Bell is irresistible, and she makes us care.
  15. Need For Speed
    There's nothing to distract you from a plot so tired there are tire tracks from other racing movies all over it.
  16. Bad Words
    Bad Words, starring Jason Bateman in a tour de force of comic wickedness, takes sinful pleasure in rubbing our noses in the toxic joys of revenge.
  17. Grand Piano
    The ending is a TVish cop-out. But until then, watching Wood sweat emerges as a pulse-pounding experiment in terror.
  18. The Grand Budapest Hotel
    His (Anderson) abiding love for a vanished past, real and imagined, is at the core of The Grand Budapest Hotel. The thrill comes in watching as this rare talent gives his movie wings.
  19. Non-Stop
    Luckily, Non-Stop has a way-above-average cast for this kind of nonsense.
  20. Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me
    So cheers to a movie as gloriously entertaining and bluntly honest as the lady herself. Everybody rise.
  21. Frankie & Alice
    This movie, with its flashbacks to past sins and traumas, rests squarely on Berry, a mesmerizer who makes every moment count.
  22. The Wind Rises
    It's a big story, and in this landmark film Miyazaki is up to every demand. Sit back and behold.
  23. RoboCop
    Brazilian director José Padilha (Elite Squad, Bus 174) soldiers on stolidly, but lacks the Dutch Verheoeven's abiding sense of mischief.
  24. Winter's Tale
    Winter's Tale is preposterous twaddle.
  25. Endless Love
    This Endless Love is a photo shoot, not a movie. It'd play better as a slideshow of jpgs. Even nine-year-old girls ought to cry foul on this movie's endless blandness.
  26. About Last Night
    Hart is a comic fireball. Don't leave till after the final credits when he and Hall bust a few more hilarious improv moves.
  27. The LEGO Movie
    A wickedly smart and funny free-for-all, and sassy enough to shoot well-aimed darts at corporate branding.
  28. Vampire Academy
    One idea, mixed with lame jokes, and stretched beyond coherence. Vampire Academy doesn't need a review. It needs a stake in the heart.
  29. Tim's Vermeer
    A stimulating detective story that holds you in thrall.
  30. That Awkward Moment
    The compensation comes in the three lead actors, all way too good for the material dished out by writer-director Tom Gormican.
