  1. Son of the Mask
    S-s-s-smokin'? Hardly, this sequel to the 1994 Jim Carrey flick "The Mask" should have been snuffed out in the drawing room.

    Nabbeun namja
    Beautifully shot and lushly scored, this may be one of the least P.C. love stories ever filmed. But it's one of the most deeply felt.

    Downfall
    Indeed, Hirschbiegel himself seems reluctant to single out a protagonist, and finally settles on Junge.

    Naked Fame
    What makes the film more interesting than it might have been, however, is the warm relationship between Glenn and Peter.

    Turtles Can Fly
    Ghobadi has little use for sentimentality, and never flinches from the fate of these children.
  6. The Animation Show 2005
    Given the dearth of outlets for short, noncommercial animation, fans of the form shouldn't miss this collection.

    Cinévardaphoto
    A welcome introduction to yet another facet of an artist who continues to beguile well into her seventies.

    Ong Bak
    The meat of the matter is fight sequences, and rather than being goosed with now-common digital effects and Hong Kong-style wirework, it's all real and all breathtaking.
  9. Bride & Prejudice
    Gloriously seductive musical sequences seem suddenly hokey and self-conscious when they're staged in Western settings, and the songs' English-language lyrics are painfully banal.
  10. Hitch
    But when it's funny, it's truly funny and the featured couples all have an easy and believable chemistry.
  11. Inside Deep Throat
    Offbeat documentary filmmakers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato dissect the history and legend of perhaps the best known and most profitable pornographic movies ever made.
  12. My Mother's Smile
    It's a sly, subtle portrait of systematic hypocrisy.

    Uncle Nino
    Heartwarming is not always a bad thing.
  14. The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill
    Though Bittner's slacker charm may not be to all tastes, the parrots are natural-born scene-stealers with more than enough charm to seduce the most dubious viewer.
  15. Pooh's Heffalump Movie
    It's the perfect "smackeral" of adventure for youngsters craving Pooh Bear and his pals.
  16. Unscrewed
    This is first-rate comedy of discomfort, so don't sample it with a date unless you're looking for a very queasy evening.

    The Letter: An American Town and the 'Somali Invasion'
    A frustrating lack of details compromise this much-needed look at how the promise of American diversity failed a community of Somali refugees in a large Maine town.
  18. Boogeyman
    If you can't spell "bogeyman," you shouldn't make movies about him.
  19. The Wedding Date
    It might be best to discreetly misplace your invitation to these strained festivities.

    Emile
    Sensitively played but ultimately undone by its unconventional approach.

    Harry + Max
    For all its maturity - and nice performances from Johnson and Phoenix - the film winds up dancing around the 500-lb gorilla in the middle of the room rather than facing the pathology of its real subject head-on.

    Nobody Knows
    Japanese auteur Hirokazu Kore-eda's most accessible film to date is also his most wrenching.
  23. The Nomi Song
    And if you never learn much about the man behind the mask, well, that's as Nomi would have wanted it.
  24. Rory O'Shea Was Here
    The manipulative climax works, even as you feel like the jerk in tear-jerking.
  25. Swimming Upstream
    Fingleton turned his own story into a feel-good fable; neither Martin McGrath's gorgeous cinematography nor the hypnotic score by Run Lola Run(1998) composers Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil's can compensate.

    Sunset Story
    Aside from the women themselves, the most remarkable thing about Gabbert's unexpectedly entertaining film is how effortlessly it dispels misconceptions about the elderly.

    Assisted Living
    Greenebaum manages to portray old-age as a condition with its own peculiar beauty and considerable grace.

    Daybreak
    Runge's coolly photographed, intricately plotted feature is always interesting in its execution, but disappointingly pat in its resolution.
  29. Freak Weather
    McKenzie's mercurial performance is the centerpiece of this sad, surprisingly absorbing story.
  30. Fear X
    Turturro's sweaty, lumpen Cain is a profoundly disagreeable guide down the rabbit hole of hallucinatory paranoia.
