  1. The Tunnel
    Good old-fashioned movie storytelling that steadily builds, over the course of nearly three hours, to a white-knuckle conclusion that satisfies on nearly every level.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Another Road Home
    Earnest if emotionally unsatisfying documentary.
  3. The Interpreter
    Gets more and more complex until it's almost laughable; it has too many beats, too many reverses, and in the end seems unbelievable.
  4. A Lot Like Love
    It starts with a bang and ends with a whimper.
  5. Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
    It's a story of jaw-dropping chutzpah, grim, mostly hindsight-based humor and more stomach-churning drama than you could find in 10 screenplays.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The Game of Their Lives
    It is flat-footed, uninspired and disjointed from start to finish, a glaring disservice to the men who played the game.
  7. The Man Who Copied
    Never better than fair to middling pleasant.
  8. The Amityville Horror
    I got exactly what I expected: Scared and tickled, within an inch of my life.
  9. House of D
    A little more literary than lifelike, House of D is a story that feels too pat, and too perfect, for its own good.
  10. It's All Gone Pete Tong
    Just inspiring enough, just scary enough, just sappy enough and just funny enough to get by.
  11. Torremolinos 73
    Starting out as a wacky little comedy about a mousy Spanish couple who become unwitting porn stars, Torremolinos 73 suddenly morphs, during the third act, into a far more sober and tender story about the lengths to which a man will go to give his wife what she wants.
  12. Palindromes
    As a director, Solondz seems to have his own locked-in fate -- to favor caricature over compassion -- and his movies are the worse for it.
  13. Sahara
    Sahara is a mediocrity wrapped inside a banality, toasted in a nice, fresh cliche.
  14. Fever Pitch
    It's almost too dull to pan.
  15. Kung Fu Hustle
    For all its stylishness, verve and moments of visual poetry, the relentlessly punishing slapstick and overall cruel tone left me cold.
  16. Eating Out
    A sweet and funny take on the crossed-wire romantic couplings of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.'
  17. Winter Solstice
    Sternfeld has created a garden on film that opens up its blooms for us, not in the dark of the movie house, but long after we've left the theater.
  18. ...And They Lived Happily Ever After
    Manages to be a diverting and funny character study, at least most of the time.
  19. Major Dundee (re-release)
    What's important is that Major Dundee, not a great movie but a great star-driven, big budget 1965 studio western, is back in all its fractured glory and confidence.
  20. Eros
    It doesn't seem like overstating things to say that Eros becomes steadily worse as it goes along.
  21. Voices in Wartime
    Its pedagogical tone perfectly suits it for viewing in classrooms.
  22. Sin City
    Two hours and six minutes has never seemed so much like two and six-tenths seconds. It's pure pulp metafiction.
  23. Dust to Glory
    It's a fascinating film, but after a while, the digital photography wears out its gritty welcome.
  24. Control
    Visually stylish surrealist drama.
  25. Look at Me
    Smart, absorbing movie.
  26. Beauty Shop
    Spends too much time being convivial and not enough time looking for the kind of real conflict that begets a good comedy.
  27. Oldboy
    Its magnificence is that it takes itself dead serious. It's not entertainment, but it's sure a piece of toughness.
  28. Guess Who
    Might provide a much-needed fix for Mac's most ardent fans, but they'll have to wait for a star vehicle that fully exploits the range of his comic gifts.
  29. The Ballad of Jack and Rose
    Often seems less like a fully realized film than an illustrated story, its paragraphs reduced to neatly contrived set pieces.
  30. D.E.B.S.
    A hideously unfunny spy spoof with pretensions to social satire in its treatment of a lesbian relationship.
