  1. My Sister's Keeper
    The infuriating cop–out ending reduces the premise to mush. I wanted to scream. Here goes: Arghh!
  2. Chéri
    With Pfeiffer, 50, radiating uncommon beauty, grace and feeling, Frears uncovers a fragile story's grieving heart.
  3. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
    Transformers 2 has a shot at the title Worst Movie of the Decade.
  4. Whatever Works
    Whatever Works feels like something out of time and, worse, out of step. Hell, Allen wrote the script back in the 1970s for Zero Mostel.
  5. The Proposal
    A romantic comedy so numbing it feels like Novocaine.
  6. Dead Snow
    If you tamp down your expectations -- those gaping plot holes are dangerous! -- there is a storm of scary fun to be had in this Scandinavian splatterfest.
  7. Moon
    Moon is a potent provocation that relies on ideas instead of computer tricks to stir up excitement.
  8. Food, Inc.
    Eating can be one dangerous business. Don't take another bite till you see Robert Kenner's Food, Inc., an essential, indelible documentary that is scarier than anything in the last five Saw horror shows.
  9. The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
    It's a first-class ride. All aboard.
  10. The Hangover
    The Hangover ain't art, but Phillips has shaped the hardcore hilarity into the summer party movie of all our twisted dreams.
  11. Away We Go
    Rudolph, a comic force on "SNL," can speak volumes with the tilt of an eyebrow. She and Krasinski, of "The Office," are absolutely extraordinary. Ditto the film, which sneaks up and floors you.
  12. Land of the Lost
    Will Ferrell and Danny McBride can find the dumb fun in anything. Too bad that Land of the Lost is so much less than anything.
  13. Up
    Up is a breathtaking ride into the realm of pure imagination.
  14. Drag Me to Hell
    Horror-movie heaven.
  15. The Girlfriend Experience
    Stylishly shot on the high-def cheap, runs 77 potently sexless minutes. Its subject isn't erotica, it's commodities trading.
  16. Easy Virtue
    Director Stephan Elliott uncorks a rare vintage of laughs tinged with heartache.
  17. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
    The money shots of the living tableau are padded with jokes that feel embalmed before the actors get them out of their mouths.
  18. Terminator Salvation
    Bale even cedes the juiciest part to Aussie newcomer Sam Worthington, who is star material as a machine with a conscience. T4 is a mixed bag, but it's not f***ing amateur.
  19. Summer Hours
    Writer-director Olivier Assayas crafts a near perfect blend of humor and heartbreak, a lyrical masterwork that measures loss in terms practical and evanescent.
  20. Angels & Demons
    The movie can be enjoyed for the hell-raising hooey it is.
  21. Management
    Playwright Stephen Belber (Match), in his directing debut, comes close to the sweet spot. He's not there yet. But he'll be worth watching next time.
  22. Outrage
    This film is a muckraking provocation whose time has come.
  23. Rudo y Cursi
    Luna and García Bernal display the kind of chemistry that makes you overlook the clichés in the script by first-time director Carlos Cuarón. Sometimes good-natured fun is enough.
  24. Star Trek
    A burst of pure filmmaking exhilaration that manages to pay homage to the classic 1960s TV series and still boldly go where no man, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy included, has gone before.
  25. The Limits of Control
    Even the great ones hit snags. With The Limits of Control, Jim Jarmsuch gets tangled up in his own deadpan.
  26. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
    It's all a jumble and, worse, a damned impersonal one.
  27. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
    Never comes as close as spitting distance to a laugh.
  28. The Informers
    One of the worst movies of this or any year.
  29. Obsessed
    Memo to Beyoncé Knowles: You were so good as Etta James in "Cadillac Records," so why'd you go spoil everything with a rank cheeseball thriller that buries you in clichés and won't even help you dig yourself out?
  30. The Soloist
    In the end, The Soloist isn't about BIG MOMENTS, it's about the grace notes, the kind that stay with you.
