  1. 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.
  2. Rango
    Rango is like nothing you've ever seen.
  3. The Adjustment Bureau
    What Dick rendered potent, Nolfi renders preposterous.
  4. 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.
  5. Hall Pass
    It's a lame trailer, but the movie itself is much, much worse.
  6. Drive Angry 3D
    Patrick Lussier is listed as The Director, though I saw no evidence of anyone in control.
  7. 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.
  8. Cedar Rapids
    Cedar Rapids had me smiling at hello.
  9. Just Go with It
    It's the perfect Valentine's date night movie, but only with someone you hate.
  10. 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.
  11. Sanctum
    The movie ultimately reveals itself as a pretender with no balls. Creatively, it's all wet.
  12. The Roommate
    Sucks bad, real bad.
  13. Kaboom
    Araki constructs the hot-blooded Kaboom as a high-wire act without a safety net. Go with it.
  14. The Rite
    It's hard to deny that The Rite is guilty of sins against its audience.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. The Green Hornet
    The Green Hornet doesn't suck. But don't expect it to hang together either, what with the clashing tones and melting logic.
  21. Gulliver's Travels
    At one point, Black puts out a fire by pissing on it. It's my job as a critic to piss on this dumb excuse for a movie. Consider it done.
  22. Country Strong
    This lame-ass chick-flick sampling of "Crazy Heart" is more like country Kryptonite.
  23. Season of the Witch
    The real plague is the movie, a sci-fi hodgepodge of bad history and worse special effects.
  24. Biutiful
    Shot hand-held with a poet's eye by Rodrigo Prieto, the film is relentless but as riveting as the world a remarkable actor lets us see through Uxbal's eyes. Bravo, Bardem.
  25. Another Year
    Just watch the magnificent Manville, in a raw and riveting award-class performance that exposes a grieving heart under siege. Her last scene is quietly devastating. So is this intimate miracle of a movie.
  26. Blue Valentine
    Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams give two of the most explosive and emotionally naked performances you will see anywhere. Just know you're in for a workout.
  27. Little Fockers
    Upchuckingly unfunny.
  28. The Company Men
    Wells is a wonder with actors - Cooper and Jones earn top honors - and a filmmaker with an instinct for the emotions that bleed between the lines. This haunting movie hits you hard and right where you live.
  29. Somewhere
    As in "Lost in Translation," Coppola keeps an eye out for the broken places. That's when Somewhere is really something.
  30. True Grit
    What makes True Grit a new classic for the Coens is the way the brothers absorb the unfairly unsung Portis into their DNA, like they did with Cormac McCarthy in "No Country for Old Men." True Grit is packed with action and laughs, plus a touching coda with an older Mattie, but it's the dialogue that really sings. Great filmmaking. Great acting. Great movie. Saddle up.
