  1. This Revolution
    Dawson actually delivers the film's most persuasive performance.
  2. Bewitched
    Falls victim to an overly tricky rethinking of the way familiar TV shows are transformed into movies.
  3. Land of the Dead
    Romero isn't a subtle filmmaker -- the sociopolitical underpinnings of his DEAD films have always been brutally clear -- but LAND is alive with subtle touches.

    Yes
    Like its title, the film is ultimately an affirmation in the face of catastrophic negation, a bit obvious at times but nonetheless welcome.
  5. March of the Penguins
    The penguins' matter-of-fact victory over some of the Earth's most punishing conditions is astonishing enough without the epic airs.

    The War on the War on Drugs
    Like so much dope humor, Soling's logic is fuzzy, and you'd have to be pretty high to find any of it funny.
  7. Lila Says
    The story's message is less than profound, but it's vividly delivered.
  8. The Last Mogul
    Avrich's colorful account of Wasserman's career starts out looking like a puff piece, but quickly reveals a refreshing willingness to delve into the dirty side of a glamorous business.
  9. Herbie Fully Loaded
    Only those who really love the Bug will be willing to put up with the loose plot and over-the-top action scenes.
  10. The Deal
    Shot largely in Toronto and cast with the best of the B-list, this film has the low-rent gloss of a made-for-cable thriller.
  11. Pure
    MacKinnon's film draws on his past as a youth worker and features a standout performance from first-time performer Harry Eden.
  12. The Perfect Man
    This cream puff of a romantic comedy is sweet enough, but lack of substance makes it deeply unsatisfying.

    The Great Water
    Bleak political parable.
  14. Heights
    Terrio keeps the multiple stories flowing smoothly, and the setting goes a long way to justify the web of fortuitous interconnections -- New York is the ultimate two-degrees-of-separation town.
  15. Me and You and Everyone We Know
    The result is discomfiting, funny and oddly touching.
  16. My Summer of Love
    A bittersweet rite-of-passage story driven by the subtle performances of newcomers Nathalie Press and Emily Blunt.

    The Talent Given Us
    This curious blend of fact and fiction is ultimately worth the trip -- just don't forget to pack the Advil.

    Ethan Mao
    Lee obviously wants to portray Ethan as something other than the dutiful No. 1 son, but Ethan isn't entirely convincing as a doped-up street hustler.
  19. Batman Begins
    The result is handsome and logical, but missing the spark that would make it thrilling.
  20. J.S.A.: Joint Security Area
    A blockbuster hit in Korea, Park's feature debut is a beguiling mix of the generic and the unfamiliar, and it ends on a shot that's nothing short of heartbreaking.

    Wheel of Time
    Mesmerizing.
  22. Mr. & Mrs. Smith
    By the time the film winds itself up, the sophisticated fizz of its first 45 minutes has been smothered by explosive bombast.
  23. The Honeymooners
    When a performer as sharp as Cedric the Entertainer is reduced to funny fat-guy shtick, you know you're in the presence of grinding mediocrity.
  24. High Tension
    The first two thirds of the screenplay by Aja and cowriter Gregory Levasseur is a relentless exercise in bare-bones nastiness.
  25. The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D
    The concept is cute and the movie starts out well, but it devolves into a muddled, overstuffed mess that wears out its welcome around the time the novelty of 3-D effects wears off.

    Howl's Moving Castle
    You'll gladly surrender to the whole gorgeous muddle.

    Slutty Summer
    Andreas' cast and crew, however, have done an admirable job of backing up that hilarious title with an intelligent little film that knows its limitations and makes the most of a shoestring budget.

    Wild Side
    Stony and statuesque, Michelini is an excellent casting choice: Her impassive face and dispassionate voice serve as a carefully constructed protective mask that hides her pain, and which she rarely lets slip.
  29. The Bridge of San Luis Rey
    Though handsomely mounted, this parable of intersecting destinies and implacable tragedy is as lifeless as a wax tableau.

    5x2
    A wickedly entertaining bit of domestic tragedy.
