  1. A Million Ways to Die in the West
    Call this cowpoke comedy "Blazing Saddles" for millennials. Or just call it icky.
  2. Maleficent
    Jolie comes to this party ready to bite, but the movie muzzles her. Even at 97 minutes, Maleficent is still one long, laborious slog.
  3. Cold in July
    Get ready to squirm. Be sure to seek out this twisty and terrific sleeper in theaters or on VOD. It's a real find.
  4. X-Men: Days of Future Past
    Step up, cynics, and see the summer 2014 blockbuster that gets damn near everything right.
  5. The Immigrant
    What sounds like undiluted melodrama with the hounds forever nipping at Ewa's heels is transformed by Gray into a mesmerizing meditation on the broken American promise.
  6. Million Dollar Arm
    Hamm is first-rate, his nuanced portrayal lifting the movie to the winner's circle.
  7. Godzilla
    Seeing the scaly dude side with Mother Nature against the freaks is almost worth enduring the blather that precedes it. I said "almost."
  8. Chef
    Buoyed by a Latin-flavored score and Favreau's knack for improv inspiration, Chef is the perfect antidote to Hollywood junk food. Like the best meals and movies, this irresistible concoction feels good for the soul.
  9. Fed Up
    Fed Up has a fire in its belly to change things. Naïve? Maybe. So what. I say, Godspeed. Here is something rare at the multiplex: a movie that matters.
  10. Palo Alto
    A hypnotic movie of harsh truth and healing compassion. It sticks with you.
  11. Neighbors
    You expect hardcore hilarity from Neighbors, and you get it. It's the nuance that sneaks up on you.
  12. 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.
  13. Transcendence
    All I can cull is: don't mess with Mother Nature and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Fortune-cookie stuff. Erase All.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Joe
    Sheridan, so good in "Mud" with Matthew McConaughey, excels here as a vulnerable sapling.
  17. 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.
  18. Nymphomaniac: Volume II
    With raw shock and a riveting Uma Thurman absent this time, Nymphomaniac: Volume II is a metaphoric limp dick.
  19. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    Captain America: The Winter Soldier is every rousing, whup-ass thing you want in an escapist adventure.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
  26. 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.
  27. 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.
  28. Grand Piano
    The ending is a TVish cop-out. But until then, watching Wood sweat emerges as a pulse-pounding experiment in terror.
  29. 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.
  30. Non-Stop
    Luckily, Non-Stop has a way-above-average cast for this kind of nonsense.
