  1. In a Better World
    An emotional powerhouse.
  2. Source Code
    Working from a tight script by Ben Ripley, Jones creates scary, hairy, high-octane tension. Disbelief? Suspended, until the logic lapses kick in later. It's a small price to pay for a ride that starts at wild and accelerates from there.
  3. Insidious
    Here's a better than average spook-house movie, mostly because Insidious decides it can haunt an audience without spraying it with blood.
  4. White Irish Drinkers
    The performances are uniformly terrific, finding the specific details that create a universal truth.
  5. Sucker Punch
    Looks aren't everything. Case in point: Sucker Punch, a dazzling visual design that goes tone-deaf every time it opens its dumb mouth or makes claims to profundity.
  6. Paul
    Rogen is a nonstop hoot, but it's the byplay between Frost and Pegg that roots the laughs in characters we care about. That's right: characters. No anal probes.
  7. The Lincoln Lawyer
    This is rock-solid entertainment. McConaughey, a cunning mesmerizer in the courtroom, steers this Lincoln into what could be a hell-raising franchise. More, please. Soon.
  8. Limitless
    It's a wet dream for anyone who's ever dreamed of getting an edge on the information highway. The worst side effect is that you won't believe a word of the damn thing in the morning. Fair exchange.
  9. Win Win
    This movie wins you over, head and heart, without cheating. It's just about perfect.
  10. Jane Eyre
    Fukunaga, son of a Japanese father and a Swedish mother, is a filmmaker to watch. He has reanimated a classic for a new generation, letting Jane Eyre resonate with terror and tenderness.
  11. Red Riding Hood
    Even wild man Gary Oldman, as a priest ready to eighty-six the wolfman with silver nail polish, can't liven up this humorless hogwash. And it's just sad to see the legendary Julie Christie stuck playing the grandmother.
  12. Take Me Home Tonight
    One raucous night, one raunchy party, "American Graffiti filtered through "Dazed and Confused" and the Shermer High films of John Hughes.
  13. Rango
    Rango is like nothing you've ever seen.
  14. The Adjustment Bureau
    What Dick rendered potent, Nolfi renders preposterous.
  15. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
    As Joe blurs the line between reality and the supernatural, his haunting and hypnotic film exerts a hold you don't want to break. It's a beauty.
  16. Hall Pass
    It's a lame trailer, but the movie itself is much, much worse.
  17. Drive Angry 3D
    Patrick Lussier is listed as The Director, though I saw no evidence of anyone in control.
  18. Unknown
    ignore the pileup of implausibilities and Unknown becomes a diabolically entertaining con game. Does it jerk you around? Yes. Suck it up. The ride's worth it.
  19. Cedar Rapids
    Cedar Rapids had me smiling at hello.
  20. Just Go with It
    It's the perfect Valentine's date night movie, but only with someone you hate.
  21. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never
    What we do see is mom, dad, Braun, Usher, vocal coach Mama Jan Smith and the burgeoning Team Bieber claiming they only want the best for the boy as he goes through a punishing 84-date concert tour. Group hug.
  22. Sanctum
    The movie ultimately reveals itself as a pretender with no balls. Creatively, it's all wet.
  23. The Roommate
    Sucks bad, real bad.
  24. Kaboom
    Araki constructs the hot-blooded Kaboom as a high-wire act without a safety net. Go with it.
  25. The Rite
    It's hard to deny that The Rite is guilty of sins against its audience.
  26. The Mechanic
    The result is just good enough to pass as an action flick you watch with the forgiving gaze that comes from too many beers and too little sleep.
  27. The Way Back
    The director, 66, brings his passion for precision to every frame of the film, refusing to hype or Hollywoodize the detailed richness of the story.
  28. No Strings Attached
    What's in this cliché grab bag for moviegoers? Well, Portman and Kutcher are a cute mismatch. She's short to his tall, sassy to his sweet, etc. I dried up here. So does the movie.
  29. Barney's Version
    Rosamund Pike is perfection as Barney's true love, and Dustin Hoffman makes magic as Barney's randy dad. It's acting heaven.
  30. The Dilemma
    Miles below the Woodman's class. It's possible that a more astringent script could have provided fuel for the actors and A-list director Ron Howard.
