  1. The Beaver
    The Beaver is serious about portraying mental illness. And whatever your opinion about Gibson the man, so is Gibson the actor.
  2. Thor
    At its best moments, Thor weaves a spot of magic from the complex science of $150-million fantasy-film technology.
  3. Cave of Forgotten Dreams
    An enthralled and mostly enthralling guided tour of what Herzog describes as "one of the greatest art discoveries in the history of human culture."
  4. Fast Five
    The picture delivers the high-octane, testosteronic goods of a warm-weather smash, and maybe the first great film of the post-human era. It's just a shame that every theater showing this nonstop auto race, this animated car-toon, can't be a drive-in.
  5. Madea's Big Happy Family
    The movie proved to be an exasperating, fitfully enjoyable jumble of Perryana, full of insult humor, a gospel choir and, not to give too much away, plot elements borrowed from "Chinatown," "Precious," "Imitation of Life" and "Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke" - all restitched and Tyler-made.
  6. Water for Elephants
    The proceedings get so slow and saccharine that viewers will relishes the film's moments of redeeming idiocy. In one of them, Marlena whispers to Jacob, "Bring Rosie to my tent and don't tell anyone" - as if the roustabouts wouldn't notice a 12-ft.-tall, 10,000-lb. creature striding down the midway.
  7. Scream 4
    Existing in a self-contained universe, Scream 4 is its own remake (Screamake), sequel (shriekquel), parody and critique. Thus it taunts and pleases audiences, mocks and justifies itself and makes any review redundant.
  8. Rio
    If you don't go in panting for a Pixar-level masterpiece, you should have a blast at this cartoon carnaval.
  9. The Conspirator
    Wright's performance is the key to a movie that pulses with the sick thrill of historical discovery. The Conspirator reminds us that. when we surrendered so many of our Constitutional rights and judgments after 9/11, it wasn't the first time.
  10. Meek's Cutoff
    It's a deceptively small piece of onscreen art that resonates afterward with such insistence that I felt positively nagged by it.
  11. Your Highness
    Occasionally curious moviegoers will discover an especially rotten specimen of the genus Cinema stinkibus... a work of ur-awfulness, counterbrilliance and antigenius. Your Highness, the new medieval-fantasy farce starring and co-written by Danny McBride, is such a movie.
  12. Hanna
    It's a feast for the eyes, but we're still hungry.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Sucker Punch
    Sucker Punch has vast empty patches, deserts of dead air.
  16. 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."
  17. 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.
  18. Limitless
    Slick and senseless.
  19. Paul
    Not bad, but certainly not good; classify the movie as lazy fun.
  20. 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.
  21. Jane Eyre
    This remake hits the jackpot with Wasikowska (pronounced VashiKOVska) and, not far behind, Fassbender.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Rango
    No goggles, no gloom. And no competition for the coolest, orneriest, funniest, best-looking movie of early 2011.
  26. Unknown
    It is the rare conspiracy thriller that ripens as the villains' organization and motives are gradually revealed.
  27. I Am Number Four
    There are gaping holes in logic throughout this sloppy, cheap-looking mess from "Disturbia" director D.J. Caruso.
  28. Just Go with It
    A loose but fairly snappy remake of the 1969 charmer "Cactus Flower."
  29. Gnomeo and Juliet
    The result is a knockoff cinematic ceramic.
  30. 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.
