  1. Keane
    A spare, claustrophobic film.
  2. Steal Me
    There's some nice low-key work amid the uneven performances, but the Montana-shot film's key strength is its sense of place.
  3. Campfire
    An affecting portrait of a young widow and her two teenage daughters.
  4. Green Street Hooligans
    Viewers hoping to understand the senseless phenomenon of football hooliganism would do better to rent Alan Clarke's nearly 20-year-old "The Firm."
    • 56 Metascore

    Kamikaze Girls
    It's the kind of rollicking rebel-chick flick that should score well in venues that appreciate Quentin Tarantino films.
  6. Music from the Inside Out
    Well-meaning and enlightening documentary.
  7. Walking on the Sky
    A dreary indie ensemble drama about six thirtysomethings coping with the emotional aftermath of their friend's suicide, the ultra-talky and static Walking on the Sky would barely pass muster as an Off-Off-Broadway offering.
  8. Edge Codes.com: The Art of Motion Picture Editing
    Highly informative and likely to increase enrollment at film schools.
  9. Touch the Sound: A Sound Journey with Evelyn Glennie
    Touch the Sound is at least as inspiring and in some ways more rewarding, thought-provoking and subtly visceral.
  10. Transporter 2
    Transporter 2 really does deliver the goods.
  11. A Sound of Thunder
    A gloriously lead-footed excursion into time travel with all the accoutrements of 1950s science fiction: an absurd plot, cliched characters, corny effects and a race against time to save mankind.
  12. Underclassman
    Nick Cannon, playing an L.A. cop who goes undercover as a prep school student, provides the few sparks this wan action-comedy can muster.
  13. The Constant Gardener
    His (Fernando Meirelles) impressionistic, guerilla style of filmmaking works surprisingly well in capturing the hypnotic urgency of le Carre's fiction. And his viewpoint is less British and more Third World.
  14. Games of Love and Chance
    It is a provocative and potentially rich premise, to be sure, but the execution here is somewhat lacking.
  15. William Eggleston in the Real World
    The result isn't particularly mesmerizing, but it does offer a well-rounded portrait that will be of particular interest to photography lovers.
  16. The Brothers Grimm
    Hugely ambitious but often failing to live up to those ambitions, Terry Gilliam's long-awaited The Brothers Grimm emerges as a folkloric adventure that intermittently entertains.
  17. The Cave
    A bottomless pit of lame characters, horror-film cliches and improbable monsters.
  18. Undiscovered
    An entirely dispensable, soapy caricature of a love story that comes complete with a jukebox full of music industry cliches plus Ashlee Simpson's big feature film debut.
  19. The Baxter
    A wheel-spinner. The more the film stresses and strains to be funny, the unfunnier it gets.
  20. Dirty Deeds
    Dirty Deeds is as feeble as a teen comedy can get.
  21. Eternal
    Bram Stoker would be, well, horrified.
  22. Formula 17
    A giddy romp that never takes itself seriously in the slightest, and that makes Taipei look like the center of the gay universe.
  23. The Memory of a Killer
    Although comparisons to the memory-challenged machinations of "Memento" are inevitable, the plotting here takes a more traditionally linear path.
  24. Wall
    While all this might have made for a potent short subject, the abstract visual monotony begins to wear thin shortly into the 98-minute running time.
  25. Matando Cabos
    A Spanish-language black comedy with a frenetic style that plays out like regurgitated Tarantino and Guy Ritchie.
  26. The 40 Year Old Virgin
    Sticking to one joke in an unconscionably long film makes for a very stale, witless and repetitive comedy.
  27. Red Eye
    Red Eye has a devilish charm. It pulls just about every nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat trick imaginable, yet gets away with it through what is, admittedly, a clever and original gimmick.
  28. Valiant
    A plucky little bird that just won't fly.
  29. Now & Forever
    A love story that veers uneasily between mysticism and melodrama.
  30. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
    This ultra-violent revenge thriller is far more notable for its baroque excesses than coherence or credibility.
