  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. 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."
  6. 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.
  7. He's Just Not That Into You
    Here's a true S&M date movie. Only sadistic men and masochistic women could love it.
  8. 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.
  9. Confessions of a Shopaholic
    Confessions is no more than a painless time-waster. But the beguiling Fisher is well worth the investment.
  10. The International
    A decent thriller that should have been dazzling, is nothing if not topical.
  11. New in Town
    This crap is supposed to be the chick flick antidote to Super Bowl fever. Ha!
  12. Notorious
    It's the spirit that Biggie Smalls, born Christopher Wallace, put into inventing himself and his music that ignites Notorious, a biopic that sees the flaws in the man but can't help accentuating the positive.
  13. Bride Wars
    The first big-studio movie released in 2009 has a damn fine chance of being the worst. Bride Wars isn't just chick-flick hell for guys, it should numb the skulls of moviegoers of all sexes and ages.
  14. Defiance
    For all the film's flaws, this is a war story told with passion about a band of brothers that still has the power to inspire.
  15. Revolutionary Road
    DiCaprio is in peak form, bringing layers of buried emotion to a defeated man. And the glorious Winslet defines what makes an actress great, blazing commitment to a character and the range to make every nuance felt.
  16. Waltz with Bashir
    Get ready to be knocked for a loop.
  17. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
    What Button shows is that Ben is ultimately not the hero of his own life or his own movie. He gets inside our head, that's for sure, but, frustratingly, we never get inside his.
  18. Bedtime Stories
    The shortage of wit and the excess of goo can be summed up in Sandler's line to these children of divorce: "I'm like the stink on your feet — I'll always be there."
  19. Marley & Me
    Watching the stars try to out-cutesy the mutt is one for the puke bucket.
  20. Valkyrie
    Tom Cruise starring in the fact-based story of a plot to kill Hitler by Nazi Col. Claus von Stauffenberg sounds like Oscar bait. It isn't. And the sooner you accept it, the more fun you'll have at this satisfying B movie.
  21. The Class
    Fierce, funny and moving, The Class graduates with honors. It's unmissable.
  22. Yes Man
    If you're thinking "yuck," you're right. I added the extra star for Zooey Deschanel, who is so delicious as his honey that you want not to say no to Yes Man.
  23. The Wrestler
    You watch The Wrestler (with a superb title song from Bruce Springsteen) in a state of pure exhilaration. A great actor in a great movie will do that to you.
  24. Nothing But the Truth
    Lurie has crafted a different kind of thriller, one with a mind and a heart.
  25. Gran Torino
    A lifetime in movies runs through this prime vintage Eastwood performance. You can't take your eyes off him. The no-frills, no-bull Gran Torino made my day.
  26. Che
    Che looks dazzling, whether the camera is weaving through a battle or trying to bore into Che's haunted soul. Del Toro stands up to Soderbergh's relentless scrutiny. As for the movie, it's a reward to audiences eager to break from the play-it-safe pack. Game on.
  27. Doubt
    You may have doubts about which side to choose, but there's no doubt about this mind-bender. It'll pin you to your seat.
  28. The Reader
    Winslet's fierce, unerring portrayal goes beyond acting, becoming a provocation that will keep you up nights.
  29. Wendy and Lucy
    Simple story, beautifully told.
  30. Hunger
    An artistic triumph.
