  1. The Hunger Games
    My advice is to keep your eyes on Lawrence, who turns the movie into a victory by presenting a heroine propelled by principle instead of hooking up with the cutest boy.
  2. Detachment
    Adrien Brody deserves superlatives for his acting in the alternately mesmerizing and maddening Detachment.
  3. Natural Selection
    Best known as Ed Helms' nagging fiancée in "The Hangover," Harris is just perfect without ever looking down on Linda's faith in God and herself. Her performance earns a special kind of glory.
  4. Jeff Who Lives at Home
    The funny, touching and vital Jeff, Who Lives at Home reaffirms your faith in Jay and Mark Duplass. Their films hit you where you live.
  5. Casa de mi Padre
    Luckily, Ferrell is at his funniest being serious. Casa de Mi Padre, shot in 24 days for $6 million, is really an SNL-ish sketch stretched to feature length. But Ferrell is an hombre loco. Mi gusta.
  6. 21 Jump Street
    Are we always still in high school in our heads? 21 Jump Street thinks so. And Hill and Tatum are just the crazy-ass comedy team to prove it.
  7. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
    This is a rich subject for satire and sticking it to political bureaucracy. Screenwriter Simon Beaufoy (127 Hours) has mined Paul Torday's book for delicious nuggets about Western capitalism at war with Muslim culture.
  8. Silent House
    "Paranormal Activity" has been here before, of course, but Silent House springs tangy new tricks, and Olsen is a primo scream queen.
  9. Friends with Kids
    An indelibly funny and touching comedy with a real sting in its tail. The laughs leave scars.
  10. John Carter
    John Carter bites off more than even Woola can chew, but it's built on something rare: wonder instead of Hollywood cynicism.
  11. Being Flynn
    Here, you can feel De Niro's full engagement in a character that echoes his roles in "Taxi Driver" and "Awakenings." It's a great wreck of a performance that feels bruisingly true. At its best, when it keeps sentimentality at bay, so does Being Flynn.
  12. Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
    Yikes! Chris Renaud and Kyle Balda direct strictly for short-attention spans on a fruit-loopy palette that made me want to puke. Had Dr. Seuss lived (he died in 1991), I'm confident he would have puked as well.
  13. Project X
    Most teen flicks just fake being fueled by anarchy. But the gut-bustingly funny Project X is the real deal. It's raunchy, reckless and ready to party. What's not to like?
  14. Act of Valor
    I don't know what to make of Act of Valor. It's like reviewing a recruiting poster.
  15. Gone
    There's no thrill in Gone because you can see every surprise coming. It lies there flapping like a dying fish. Skip it.
  16. Wanderlust
    When the script sags, Wain and producer Judd Apatow rely on a top team of actors to keep you laughing.
  17. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
    One look at the dreadful mess that is Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance will turn your whisper into a primal Cage scream: MAKE THIS MOVIE STOP!
  18. This Means War
    A trio of appealing actors is trapped in an action-spiked romcom death-sentenced by a lack of humor, heart and a coherent reason for being.
  19. Chronicle
    Despite a gimmicky premise, Chronicle fuels its action with characters you can laugh with, understand and even take to heart.
  20. In Darkness
    In Darkness is an agonizing experience, especially when Jews are publicly humiliated in the streets and a driving rainstorm nearly drowns those cowering in the depths. Holland means to shake you. In Darkness has the power to haunt will haunt your dreams.
  21. The Vow
    The Vow is a sopping hankie of a romance for women who love to suffer and the men who love them.
  22. Rampart
    Yup, it could have been a bucket of bleak. But the electric talent of Harrelson and Moverman is too exciting to be anything but exhilarating.
  23. Safe House
    Worse, Safe House asks us to believe that Ryan Reynolds can outclass Denzel Washington in the art of being a hard-ass. Not on this planet, baby.
  24. W.E.
    Here's Madge one more time doing something for which she is eminently unsuited – directing.
  25. The Woman in Black
    The Woman in Black doesn't break new ground, but in its suggestions of fine film ghost stories, from "The Innocents" to "The Others" and "The Orphanage," it works you over with riveting restraint.
  26. Red Tails
    You leave Red Tails thinking of what might have been instead of what is – a missed opportunity.
  27. Man on a Ledge
    The shopworn script by Pablo F. Fenjves, who ghost-wrote the unpublished O.J. Simpson book, If I Did It: The Confessions of the Killer, gets no help from director Asger Leth (Ghosts of Cite Soleil).
  28. One for the Money
    Everything in One for the Money rings cringingly false, from Heigl's absurd Snooki accent to Plum's romance with Joe Morelli, an Italian cop, played by – faith and begorrah – Jason O'Mara. To dismiss Julie Anne Robinson's direction as clueless would be a kindness.
  29. The Grey
    A terrifically exciting, deeply unsettling survivalist epic.
  30. Coriolanus
    Think "The Hurt Locker," which shares a cinematographer in Barry Ackroyd with no damage to the Bard's bruising poetry. Neat trick.
