  1. Hot Rod
    I laughed, then I wished it was funnier, then I just wished it would end.
  2. The Simpsons Movie
    Homer even jokes that it takes a sucker to pay for a show you can get for free on TV. D'oh! That hurts.
  3. Hairspray
    It's hard to resist the film's exuberance.
  4. I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
    No comedy this year can beat this dud for mealy-mouthed hypocrisy.
  5. Interview
    Stick with it for Miller’s gutsy tour de force and the kick of watching Buscemi, as actor and filmmaker, turn an experiment into a mesmerizing battle of wills.
  6. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    It will hook you good and keep you riveted.
  7. Ratatouille
    What makes Ratatouille such a hilarious and heartfelt wonder is the way Bird contrives to let it sneak up on you.
  8. Sicko
    In a summer of dumb, shameless drivel, Moore delivers a movie of robust mind and heart. You'll laugh till it hurts.
  9. Evening
    Susan Minot’s resplendent novel of a dying woman…stumbles on its way to the screen.
  10. Live Free or Die Hard
    Gets the action job done and you better believe that Bruce is still the man.
  11. 1408
    Heebie-jeebies are guaranteed.
  12. Evan Almighty
    It's Carell who projects the movie's only sense of mischief. But it's too little and too late.
  13. A Mighty Heart
    The film belongs to Jolie. She won an Oscar for 1999's "Girl, Interrupted," but this is by far her best performance.
  14. Lady Chatterley
    It's a movie as timely as it is thrilling to watch.
  15. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
    The perfect summer movie, that is if you're eight years old or under. For the rest of us, the sequel to the first "Fantastic Four" that miraculously amassed more than $150 million in 2005, is a plotless, brainless, witless bore.
  16. Fido
    Director Andrew Currie is better at laughs than scares, but he can’t sustain either as Fido runs out of steam in the final stretch. Till then, it’s fiendish fun.
  17. Ocean's Thirteen
    Brad Pitt doesn't really act in Ocean's Thirteen, he just glides through the third chapter in Steven Soderbergh's heist-flick annuity on the magic carpet of his own unimpeachable cool. Don't knock it. Genuine star power is rare. Pitt has it in spades -- all aces.
  18. La Vie en Rose
    Dahan's impressionistic heartbreaker of a movie gets it all in. And Marion Cotillard, lip-syncing Piaf's songs and digging into her soul with gale-force urgency, gives a performance for the ages.
  19. Knocked Up
    Rogen and Heigl step up to the plate with a tougher task from Coach Apatow: Nail every laugh and the emotions underlying them. No worries. They knock it out of the park.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    Listen to me: trash can surprise you. So don't get all elitist about the so-called cheap thrills in Mr. Brooks.
  21. Crazy Love
    For those who don't believe that truth trumps fiction for whacked-out depravity, mark this shockingly fierce and funny spellbinder as Exhibit A.
  22. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
    The good news first: Keith Richards totally rocks it playing pirate daddy to Johnny Depp's Capt. Jack Sparrow. The deep rumble of his voice and those hooded eyes that narrowly open like the creaky gates of hell make him what the rest of this three-peat is not: authentically scary...So what's the bad news? Richards is onscreen for barely two minutes.
  23. Angel-A
    What nearly saves the movie, besides the Rasmussen eye candy, is Paris itself, shot in shimmering black-and-white by the gifted Thierry Arbogast. Talk is cheap here, and often inane, but as a silent film, Angel-A could have been magic.
  24. Paprika
    Fiercely provocative, Paprika shames Hollywood’s use of animation as a kiddie pacifier.
  25. Shrek the Third
    There's no disguising the fact that Shrek the Third has come down with a bad case of sequelitis. You know the symptoms: Lots of razzle-dazzle to distract from the hole at the center of the story. You know, the place where fresh ideas should be.
  26. Severance
    Director and co-writer Christopher Smith, mischievously blending "The Office" with "Friday the 13th," keeps things fierce and funny enough to give Steve Carell ideas.
  27. Once
    It's a magical, beguiling wonder.
  28. 28 Weeks Later
    Hold on for a hell of a ride.
  29. Away from Her
    All the acting is first-rate -- Dukakis gives major dimensions to a supporting role. And Christie, a Sixties screen goddess in "Darling" and "Doctor Zhivago," shows that her spirit and grace are eternal. She's a beauty. So is the movie.
  30. Spider-Man 3
    There are delicious bits aplenty in Spider-Man 3 for those who care to notice.
