  1. Tyson
    You won't know what hit you after watching Tyson. This power punch to the gut is one of the best movies of any kind this year.
  2. State of Play
    Affleck may strike you as off-putting at first, hitting wrong emotional notes, but hang on. State of Play keeps the twists coming.
  3. 17 Again
    Director Burr Steers, of the terrific "Igby Goes Down," is stuck polishing clichès.
  4. Every Little Step
    A thrilling combination of documentary and musical dazzler.
  5. Is Anybody There?
    Blending humor and heartbreak in a performance that makes a small movie a richly satisfying one, Caine truly is magic.
  6. Anvil! The Story of Anvil
    Want to find the heart of rock & roll? You can hear it thundering in Anvil.
  7. Hannah Montana: The Movie
    The most shocking thing here is the fact that Peter Chelsom directed it. His 1995 movie, "Funny Bones," is a genuinely transgressive piece of dark comedy. I can't detect a trace of Chelsom in Hannah Montana, which means he won't have to wear a blonde wig to hide his shame.
  8. Observe and Report
    Funny as hell.
  9. Lymelife
    Even when the drama gets overcooked, Lymelife sends off sparks.
  10. Adventureland
    Adventureland throws a lot at us, but not enough of it sticks.
  11. Sugar
    The result is raw and riveting.
  12. Fast & Furious
    I can see why Fast and Furious might be a smash as audiences look for escape from a broken economy. All those wheelies and power slides are designed to obliterate thought, not provoke it. Talk about a movie for its time.
  13. Monsters vs Aliens
    "WALL-E" had more charm, more soul, more everything. But there's enough merry mischief here to satisfy, even if you’re way past puberty.
  14. I Love You, Man
    The movie goes soft in its final stages, but Rudd and Segel keep it real. "Sweet, sweet hangin'," says Peter of knowing Sydney. The same goes for the movie.
  15. Duplicity
    Given the assault of devilishly clever plot twists that buzz-bomb your brain like a two-hour binge of quad-shot lattes, Duplicity goes down as too smart for its own good.
  16. Sunshine Cleaning
    This funny and touching movie depends on two can-do actresses to scrub past the biohazard of noxious clichés that threaten to intrude. Adams and Blunt get the job done.
  17. The Last House on the Left
    Audiences with a brain cell left have only one choice: Look for the first exit on the right.
  18. Watchmen
    Stumbles and sometimes falls on its top-heavy ambitions. But there are also flashes of visual brilliance and performances, especially from Haley and Crudup, that drill deep into the novel's haunted soul.
  19. Phoebe in Wonderland
    Let Clarkson and Fanning take you to the rabbit hole of seductive enchantment that defines this movie. And don't ask what to do -- jump.
  20. Crossing Over
    Kramer takes on a hot, unwieldy topic in Crossing Over -- the dream that immigrants have of U.S. citizenship and the nightmare of achieving it, especially with shortcuts. I'm sure Kramer will be picked to pieces for trying something while Hollywood crap climbs the box office ladder. There are all kinds of nightmares.
  21. Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience
    It's no mystery that the target audience for this G-rated bubblegum fantasy is tweens, parents of tweens and the occasional pervert. They'll be so pleased. Anything for the rest of humanity? Not so much.
  22. Eleven Minutes
    It didn't grab me. Not at first. A documentary that tracks the winner of a reality show -- in this case Bravo's Project Runway -- after his victory. Huh? But Eleven Minutes busts a few fresh moves.
  23. Gomorrah
    So fasten your seat belts for Gomorrah, just snubbed in the wussy Oscar race for Best Foreign Film (so you know it's dynamite).
  24. Two Lovers
    The film's secrets unfold slowly, allowing Phoenix and Paltrow -- a luminous fusion of grace and grit -- to build a relationship in full. The script, by Gray and Richard Menello, is inspired by Dostoevsky's "White Nights."
  25. Coraline
    OK, sensitive tykes may be scared shitless. But those who tough it out with this twisted, trippy adventure in impure imagination will only be the better for it.
  26. He's Just Not That Into You
    Here's a true S&M date movie. Only sadistic men and masochistic women could love it.
  27. The Pink Panther 2
    Martin is a gifted physical comic. He deserves an original role tailored to his own talents. Watching something this borrowed just makes me blue.
  28. Confessions of a Shopaholic
    Confessions is no more than a painless time-waster. But the beguiling Fisher is well worth the investment.
  29. The International
    A decent thriller that should have been dazzling, is nothing if not topical.
  30. New in Town
    This crap is supposed to be the chick flick antidote to Super Bowl fever. Ha!
