  1. Bright Star
    Bright Star is the New Zealand writer-director's raw, sensual attempt to render Keats as experienced by a young girl who couldn't understand the genius of his verse.
  2. Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
    What I can’t figure out is how director Peter Hyams can remake a 1956 movie from the great Fritz Lang and not learn anything about suspense, pacing and storytelling in the process. This movie is beyond boring. You could stay warm for two hours by striking a match to the wooden acting.
  3. 9
    I only wish this richly imaginative movie had stayed truer to the dark heart of its visuals.
  4. Crude
    Here’s a powerhouse of a documentary that makes you feel mad as hell and unwilling to take it anymore.
  5. Extract
    Judge is in the business of social satire, and his laughs can sting, but his movie is a comic salute to free enterprise. And, boy, do we need it now.
  6. All About Steve
    Unwatchable, unbearably unfunny farce.
  7. Big Fan
    Comedian Patton Oswalt triumphantly nails every comic and dramatic nuance as Paul Aufiero, a New York Giants obsessive who has long ago moved from fan to fanatic.
  8. The September Issue
    A subversively entertaining documentary.
  9. Taking Woodstock
    The film's major sin of omission: the music.
  10. Inglourious Basterds
    For anyone professing true movie love, there's no resisting it.
  11. Passing Strange
    As for Lee, he clearly relates to this material and the questions of political, musical and family identity he himself raised in films as diverse as "Malcolm X," "Mo' Better Blues" and "Crooklyn."
  12. District 9
    This baby has the stuff to end the movie summer on a note of dazzle and distinction.
  13. Ponyo
    Miyazaki works marvels. Sit back and behold.
  14. The Time Traveler's Wife
    I'd watch the vibrant Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana in anything, but The Time Traveler's Wife is pushing it.
  15. It Might Get Loud
    Does this sound like rock heaven? It is.
  16. Spread
    Props to Kutcher for going to surprising, painful places. There's something haunted in his portrayal that hits hard and sticks.
  17. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
    I don't know what to say about the acting, writing and directing in G.I. Joe because I couldn't find any.
  18. Julie & Julia
    Meryl Streep -- at her brilliant, beguiling best -- is the spice that does the trick for the yummy Julie & Julia.
  19. Paper Heart
    Enjoying this wondrous wisp of a something is easy, describing it is hard. Luckily, Charlyne Yi is an enchantress.
  20. Cold Souls
    You'll laugh till it hurts at Cold Souls.
  21. Funny People
    It's the work of a major talent. Apatow scores by crafting the film equivalent of a stand-up routine that encompasses the joy, pain, anger, loneliness and aching doubt that go into making an audience laugh.
  22. The Cove
    The Cove plays like a thriller. It has the breathless pace of a "Bourne" movie, but none of the comfort of fiction. This is documentary filmmaking at its most exciting and purposeful.
  23. The Ugly Truth
    Toss this ugly-ass crap to the curb, along with the other multiplex garbage, and see a romance that gets it right. I'm talking "(500) Days of Summer."
  24. In the Loop
    Laugh you will, loud and often. In the Loop deserves to be a sleeper hit. The whole cast is stellar. And it proves that smart and funny can exist in the same movie, even in summer.
  25. (500) Days of Summer
    A different kind of love story: an honest one that takes a piece out of you.
  26. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
    Getting lost in the hypnotic Half-Blood Prince is what gives the movie its haunting power.
  27. I Love You, Beth Cooper
    Aiming for the heartfelt hilarity of "Superbad," I Love You, Beth Cooper is just super bad.
  28. Bruno
    You'll hoot and holler as it strips down its targets and sticks it to them, hardcore. Baron Cohen is the pure, untamed id of movie comedy.
  29. Public Enemies
    Public Enemies comes at you like Dillinger did: all of a sudden. It's movie dynamite.
  30. My Sister's Keeper
    The infuriating cop–out ending reduces the premise to mush. I wanted to scream. Here goes: Arghh!
