  1. Toy Story 3
    A joy to behold.
  2. The Karate Kid
    Short review of three little words: Way. Too. Long.
  3. The A-Team
    It's big, loud, ludicrous and edited into visual incomprehension. But pity the fool who lets that stand in the way of enjoying The A-Team.
  4. Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work
    There's not a timid, sympathy-begging minute in it. Even better, you leave Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work with the exhilarating feeling that the lady is just hitting her stride.
  5. Winter's Bone
    Winter's Bone is unforgettable. It means to shake you, and does.
  6. Splice
    Played as a child by Abigail Chu and as an adult by Delphine Chanéac, Dren morphs into a special-effects miracle, sexy and scary in equal doses.
  7. Get Him to the Greek
    Before it goes off the rails into strained sermonizing, this sorta-sequel to 2008’s delightful "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" gets in big laughs.
  8. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
    What's missing in Prince of Persia is a sense that all the running, jumping, climbing and fighting is leading to something. The best video games challenge you to reach the next level. Prince of Persia is content to skim the surface.
  9. Sex and the City 2
    A long sit in the shallows, the equivalent of five half-hour episodes strung together.
  10. Shrek Forever After
    It's a fun ride. What's missing is the excitement of a new interpretation.
  11. MacGruber
    How the hell can you take an SNL skit that runs 90 seconds and stretch it to a 90-minute feature? Sounds excruciating. But MacGruber breaks the jinx by putting the skit in the context of a 1980s action movie and creating its own brand of explosive lunacy.
  12. Solitary Man
    Douglas never makes a false move, delivering a tour de force in human weakness.
  13. Robin Hood
    What this Robin Hood lacks in fun it makes up for in epic sweep.
  14. Letters to Juliet
    It's unapologetic schmaltz, deftly directed by Gary Winick (Tadpole) as if it really meant something.
  15. Iron Man 2
    Favreau supplies the go-go-go that makes the movie stratospherically entertaining, even without 3-D. But it's the promiscuously talented Downey who adds the grace notes that make Iron Man 2 something to remember.
  16. Mother and Child
    In Mother and Child, he (Rodrigo Garcia) creates an emotional powerhouse.
  17. A Nightmare on Elm Street
    It's the Bay touch you feel in the way actors register as body count, characters go undeveloped, and sensation trumps feeling. A nightmare, indeed.
  18. Harry Brown
    In "Gran Torino," Eastwood took on the moral issues that screenwriter Gary Young and first-time director Daniel Barber studiously avoid. It's the difference between riveting and repellent.
  19. Please Give
    The pitch-perfect performances help Holofcener stir up feelings that cut to the heart of what defines an ethical life. There's no movie around right now with a subject more pertinent. It'll hit you hard.
  20. The Human Centipede (First Sequence)
    The only way to react is by bringing a barf bag or a strong sense of gallows humor.
  21. The Losers
    As an action fix to hold you before the summer explosions start, you could do worse than The Losers. It’s no more than an efficient time-killer.
  22. Kick-Ass
    The movie belongs to Moretz, whose sensational performance will be talked about for years. Her scenes with Cage, who wears a Batsuit and uses a voice borrowed from Adam West, are a hoot.
  23. Exit Through the Gift Shop
    The line between making guerrilla art and selling out has never blurred more provocatively.
  24. The Secret in Their Eyes
    The Secret in Their Eyes has a decent shot at wearing down resistance to subtitled films. Don't be put off. This spellbinder from Argentina will sneak up and floor you. It's that good.
  25. Date Night
    Stay for the outtakes – they’re improv delights, suggesting the movie that might have been if they had just left it all to Carell and Fey.
  26. When You're Strange
    Unhappy with what Oliver Stone did to Jim Morrison and the Doors in his 1991 biopic? Here’s the doc for you.
  27. The Greatest
    Brosnan, on a roll with this film and "The Ghost Writer," vividly etches the emotional fissures in a man coming apart. The Greatest takes a piece out of you.
  28. Clash of the Titans
    The film is a sham, with good actors going for the paycheck and using beards and heavy makeup to hide their shame.
  29. The Last Song
    The only tragedy you'll face is paying good money to this swill.
  30. Hot Tub Time Machine
    Hot Tub Time Machine should have been better than this. It could have been poignant.
