  1. Least Among Saints
    Least Among Saints has the strained feel of a basic cable television movie, with modest production values to match.
  2. My Father and The Man In Black
    The film offers a privileged perspective on crucial moments in Johnny Cash's career, and serious fans will likely warm to it on the small screen.
  3. Madrid, 1987
    An engrossing two-hander combining the smart-talk microcosm of "My Dinner With Andre" and the sexual dynamics of a Philip Roth novel, David Trueba's Madrid, 1987 is more universal than its title suggests and holds a strong art house appeal.
  4. Simon & the Oaks
    Alternates languidly between wistful nostalgia and a more clear-eyed assessment of its protagonist's choices.
  5. Gayby
    Gayby doesn't break a lot of new ground in the rom-com or parenthood fields, but its agreeable balance of humor and sentiment makes it worth adopting.
  6. In My Mother's Arms
    Few will fail to be moved by this portrait of selflessness in the face of near insurmountable odds.
  7. Sinister
    Occasionally stupid (stretching even fright-flick conventions) but scary nonetheless, the picture should please horror fans.
  8. Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare
    The bottom line: The impact of this forceful indictment of our healthcare system is lessened by the sheer ubiquity of similarly-themed documentaries.
  9. Wake in Fright (1971)
    The picture is fresh and frightening, a strong arthouse contender certain to leave audiences talking.
  10. Bel Borba Aqui
    Will charm many arthouse patrons, though some highbrow-leaning art lovers will find the subject unworthy of such attention.
  11. Trade of Innocents
    This thriller about child sex trafficking is well-intentioned but dramatically stilted.
  12. Harvest of Empire
    Cogent documentary makes the persuasive argument for the role that U.S. military and corporate interests have played in the influx of immigration from Latin American countries.
  13. BearCity 2: The Proposal
    Unfortunately, the thin storyline isn't substantial enough to sustain the nearly two-hour running time.
  14. Fat Kid Rules the World
    A commendably restrained loser-turns-winner tale offering an unexpected second showcase for Terri star Jacob Wysocki, Matthew Lillard's Fat Kid Rules the World is less colorful than its grandeur-deluded title suggests.
  15. American Autumn: an Occudoc
    This informative but scattershot documentary about the Occupy Wall Street suffers from a surfeit of facts and figures.
  16. The Waiting Room
    Inherently unpreachy but making its point more effectively than many participants in the debate can, the film should find vocal advocates in a niche theatrical run.
  17. Life of Pi
    Meticulous care is evident in every aspect of the film. All three actors playing Pi are outstanding.
  18. Smashed
    Its sharp writing and essential credibility make this small, intimate tale fresh and involving.
  19. Middle of Nowhere
    A deceptively slight film that strikes the right balance between realist family drama and earnestness.
  20. The Paperboy
    In the spirit of the venture, the entire cast gets down and comes off all the better for it. Both Efron and McConaughey get very messed up physically, and both actors seem stimulated to be playing such flawed characters.
  21. V/H/S
    Refreshingly, V/H/S promises no more than it delivers, always a plus with genre fare.
  22. Six Million and One
    Six Million and One suggests the need for both a more ruthless editor and a well-trained family therapist.
  23. Bringing Up Bobby
    Unfortunately, the alternately melodramatic and comic Bringing Up Bobby fails to impress, despite a showy turn by Milla Jovovich in a sharp departure from her usual zombie butt-kicking in the Resident Evil series.
  24. Pitch Perfect
    Pitch Perfect is an enjoyably snarky campus romp that's both wildly nerdy and somewhat sexy.
  25. Won't Back Down
    The movie addresses timely issues but eschews shading in favor of blunt black and white. It's old-school Lifetime fodder dressed up in Hollywood trappings.
  26. Electoral Dysfunction
    A timely look at an important issue that's getting more hotly contested every month, Electoral Dysfunction takes a mildly jocular tone to get viewers concerned about what it calls a "war on voting" in America.
  27. The Other Dream Team
    Much more than a sports film, The Other Dream Team is a rousing document of how one oppressed country reclaimed its identity and won its freedom in large part through its basketball prowess.
  28. Frankenweenie
    It is nonetheless imaginative in a highly familiar and ultimately tedious way.
  29. Three Stars
    The doc has little to say about the Michelin ranking system that hasn't been said, but offers enough behind-the-scenes interest to entertain foodies and inspire a few additions to their dining-experience bucket lists.
  30. House at the End of the Street
    Despite an intriguing setup, sharply drawn central characters and a lead performance from the luminous Jennifer Lawrence that elevates the material a few notches, House at the End of the Street is a by-the-book horror thriller that's low on scares and suspense.
