  1. Hanna
    It's a feast for the eyes, but we're still hungry.
  2. Trust
    There is no denying that Schwimmer knows something about getting a performance out of an actor. Liberato, who is 15 now, is flat-out terrific. Shifting fluidly from demure to sullen and damaged, she is tremendously compelling.
  3. Source Code
    It is a tremendous downer when the second half of the movie shirks logic, defies its own established principles and raises more questions than it answers.
  4. Sucker Punch
    Sucker Punch has vast empty patches, deserts of dead air.
  5. Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules
    Rodrick Rules often feels like a mainstreamed version of that wonderful short-lived television series, "Freaks and Geeks."
  6. Win Win
    The story wraps up with a tenderness that feels true but completely without mush. The irony of the title fades as Win Win wins you over.
  7. Limitless
    Slick and senseless.
  8. Paul
    Not bad, but certainly not good; classify the movie as lazy fun.
  9. Red Riding Hood
    Was Red Riding Hood masterminded by a cadre of particularly silly 11-year-olds undergoing withdrawal from Twilight? That's the only excuse for a movie this dopey.
  10. Jane Eyre
    This remake hits the jackpot with Wasikowska (pronounced VashiKOVska) and, not far behind, Fassbender.
  11. Battle: Los Angeles
    The shaky-cam as used in "Cloverfield" and the Paul Greengrass "Bourne" films, and in TV shows from "NYPD Blue" to "24" to "The Office," is worse than amateurism; it's fake amateurism, the visual equivalent of a comedian pretending to have Parkinson's.
  12. The Adjustment Bureau
    It's a clever idea that, around the mid-point, stumbles into absurdity as the movie itself makes too many lunatic choices.
  13. Take Me Home Tonight
    Hardly unforgettable, but it is an amiable diversion, kept afloat by some comic moments of the raunchy, silly variety, and by something that does feel rather retro: a kindness to its youthful characters.
  14. Rango
    No goggles, no gloom. And no competition for the coolest, orneriest, funniest, best-looking movie of early 2011.
  15. Unknown
    It is the rare conspiracy thriller that ripens as the villains' organization and motives are gradually revealed.
  16. I Am Number Four
    There are gaping holes in logic throughout this sloppy, cheap-looking mess from "Disturbia" director D.J. Caruso.
  17. Just Go with It
    A loose but fairly snappy remake of the 1969 charmer "Cactus Flower."
  18. Gnomeo and Juliet
    The result is a knockoff cinematic ceramic.
  19. The Other Woman
    The Other Woman earns a viewer's respect for the grace notes that director-screenwriter Don Roos finds beneath these familiar tunes, for the unassertive skill with which he paints upper-class life on the Upper East Side, and for the rightness of the performances.
  20. Sanctum
    Sanctum is a stinker, a horror movie without a visible monster.
  21. The Rite
    The Rite is all windup, weak delivery.
  22. The Mechanic
    Quick, capable, thoroughly bloody action film.
  23. No Strings Attached
    The picture is no great shakes as cinema, and a shade too cute for its own good.
  24. The Way Back
    The overall metaphor Weir was aiming for - this idea of enemies so powerful and a war so menacing and confusingly big that no place seems safe except a place absurdly far away - comes through clearly and stays with you.

    The Green Hornet
    The mix is not nearly classic but is congenial enough to warm up a January weekend and perhaps to stoke a sequel. Call it "The Green Hornet Strikes Again?" No: "Kato II!"
  26. Biutiful
    The hardest movies to review are the ones you respect and admire but don't love and also - and this is the crucial part - aren't angered by. Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's Biutiful is just that sort of film.
  27. True Grit
    The tense verbal comedy of Mattie's early negotiation with a Fort Smith merchant should win you over to this movie's high linguistic wit. If not, you may as well slip out of the theater and into "Little Fockers."
  28. The Illusionist
    I wish I found The Illusionist as pleasing to sit through (twice) as to write about. I'm glad there's a "new" "Tati" film to add to his small, important body of work, yet I wish that the creator of "The Triplets of Belleville" had made a true Chomet film instead. I'll be waiting for that, with a hope to be found nowhere in this handsome, airless movie.
  29. Blue Valentine
    The scenes cut so close to the emotional bone that you can understand why they might cause a panic amongst MPAA boardmembers, although of course, it's nothing to be afraid of: just the realism of love in its varied forms.
  30. Little Fockers
    I'm afraid the DeNiro of "The Godfather, Part II" and "Goodfellas" has mostly faded from my mind, replaced by the DeNiro of the Fockers - a grim-faced comedian who tends to make me sad.
