  1. Bellflower
    Here's a movie that starts in your face and, amazingly, keeps coming at you. That's a good thing.
  2. The Change-Up
    No matter Bateman and Reynolds make The Change-Up seem a lot better than it is. Each earns a star in my review. The movie would be literally nothing without them.
  3. Rise of the Planet of the Apes
    The movie rises and, at times, even soars. This is all - and I do mean all - thanks to what human actors in league with computer technology can now achieve to bring the apes to life. No more guys squeezed into monkey suits and talking in posh accents. Performance-capture makes all the difference.
  4. The Devil's Double
    This is a breakthrough star performance from a terrific actor getting a chance to let it rip.
  5. Attack the Block
    It's hot, fierce, funny, vicious and ready to bite, baby.
  6. Crazy, Stupid, Love
    What makes Crazy Stupid Love a cut above is actors who let pain seep into the laughs. Here's a comedy you really can take to heart.
  7. Cowboys & Aliens
    It looks slick, pricey and starry – Indiana Jones teams up with James Bond for a gunfight with space demons. But even Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig can't save a movie that's all concept, no content.
  8. Another Earth
    Another Earth offers imagination and provocation to spare.
  9. Captain America: The First Avenger
    Here's the funny thing: Despite all the Captain America rah-rah in costume and indestructible shield, the movie is at its best when the story sticks with skinny Steve.
  10. Friends with Benefits
    Their banter is fun at the start until it becomes relentless.
  11. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
    What an exhilarating gift to watch Harry and Company go out in a blaze of glory and amazing grace.
  12. Larry Crowne
    Larry Crowne is more than a missed opportunity. It's alarmingly, depressingly out of touch.
  13. Horrible Bosses
    Here's a hit-and-miss farce that leaves you wishing it was funnier than it is. Why? Because it wussies out on a sharp premise.
  14. The Perfect Host
    The dialogue is witty and spiked with delicious malice. At least it is when Pierce delivers it.
  15. Transformers: Dark of the Moon
    Transformers: Dark of the Moon - high on any list of the worst blockbusters ever - is a movie bereft of wit, wonder, imagination, and any genuine reason for being. Watching it makes you die a little inside.
  16. A Better Life
    This movie will get under your skin.
  17. Cars 2
    Lasseter is back behind the wheel, and you can feel his love for all things automotive in every frame. No humans blot this anthropomorphic romp. Cars do all the talking.
  18. Bad Teacher
    Bad Teacher keeps running away from its combustibly nasty premise. Damn shame.
  19. Page One: A Year Inside the New York Times
    Page One is a vital, indispensable hell-raiser.
  20. Green Lantern
    Hal claims that a Lantern's only enemy is fear itself. The thought of a sequel to this shamelessly soulless Hollywood product scares me plenty.
  21. Super 8
    This movie, a true beauty, will put a spell on you.
  22. Beautiful Boy
    Blazing performance will burn in your memory. Same goes for the film.
  23. Submarine
    Ayoade, the British comic making a remarkable feature debut with his adaptation of Joe Dunthorne's 2008 novel, blends mirth and malice with deadpan brilliance.
  24. Beginners
    McGregor goes bone-deep in a performance of shining subtlety. And a never-better Plummer is simply stupendous, refusing any call to sentiment as he shows us Hal's resonant lunge at life. Mills works the same way. Beginners is one from the bruised heart.
  25. X-Men: First Class
    In this cheerfully perverse origin tale of Magneto, Professor X and their mutant team, Vaughn delivers a fireworks display of action, smarts and fun, plus a touch of class from actors who can really act.
  26. The Tree of Life
    Like its predecessors (Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line and The New World), Tree delivers truths that don't go down easy. No one with a genuine interest in the potential of film would think of missing it.
  27. The Hangover Part II
    How could a 2009 raunchfest that slapped a grin on my face I couldn't unglue degenerate into a cold dish of sloppy seconds?
  28. Midnight in Paris
    What's fresh about Midnight in Paris is the way he (Allen) identifies with Gil's idealization of the past, of the Paris that represented art and life at their fullest.
  29. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
    Marshall deserves props for putting the "show" back into the Pirates business. But face it, he's polishing a giant turd.
  30. Hesher
    As played by the spectacular Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Hesher is the id run rampant.
