  1. James' Journey to Jerusalem
    It's hard to say exactly what the point is to this sour tale.
  2. Club Dread
    About as funny as malaria.
  3. Greendale
    To watch Greendale is to understand everything about Neil Young. Like him, it's grungy, honest, disarming and unapologetically original.
  4. Twisted
    A nasty, formulaic and unforgivably obvious procedural.
  5. Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
    The movie is still a routine Hollywood high school morality play.
  6. Goodbye Lenin!
    It's a sweet family dramedy whose political undertones don't flatter either capitalism or "democratic socialism."
  7. The Passion of the Christ
    Controversial, yet undeniably powerful.
  8. Against the Ropes
    A boilerplate melodrama whose good guys and bad guys are so baldly drawn they could have been conceived by Friz Freleng.
  9. Clifford's Really Big Movie
    The movie's sweet, gentle nature may lack the subtle irony of the "Toy Storys" and "Shreks" of the world, but parents won't be bored.
  10. EuroTrip
    If you're going to make a gross-out comedy you can't just be gross. You've got to be to be funny as well, or the movie will be DOA. Which is why Eurotrip should be toe-tagged and shoved into the deepest and coldest of video vaults.
  11. Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
    Even by Disney's formulaic standards -- is about as cut and dried as the phone book.
  12. Kitchen Stories
    May, at times, be deadpan to the point of stiffness, but it's far from dead.
  13. Welcome to Mooseport
    A movie marred by a flaccid script, listless pacing, a plethora of cutesy-poo gags and Ray Romano.
  14. Lost Boys of Sudan
    A touching documentary on the immigrant experience -- or at least one very tough slice of it.
  15. After the Life
    The most assured of the three films.
  16. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (re-released)
    A glorious romantic confection unlike any other in movie history.
  17. Love Object
    The sort of clumsy undertaking that trips up everyone and everything in it.
  18. 50 First Dates
    Possesses an undeniable heart. The bad news is that it will still be buried underneath layers of stale Sandlerisms tomorrow, and the next day, and the next.
  19. Robot Stories
    Most of the performances are excellent. The scripts, however, are slight and unsurprising.
  20. An Amazing Couple
    In this comedy, Cecile misinterprets husband Alain's furtive attempt to have himself medically tested as suspicious extramarital behavior.
  21. Osama
    In its small, achingly beautiful way, this is the lesson that Osama teaches us: When one human being suffers, it is all of us who share her pain.
  22. The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
    A parody of B-movies stupid enough -- and yet with just enough brains -- to appeal to the most discriminating fans of the genre.
  23. Miracle
    Miracle works best when the players are on the ice, shot in a faux-documentary style that uses the now-customary handheld cameras, fast pans and machine-gun edits.
  24. Barbershop 2: Back in Business
    What separates Calvin and Eddie from the typical comic hero -- and each "Barbershop" movie from the standard yuk-fest -- is that these folks know how to back up all the hot air with meaningful action.
  25. Catch That Kid
    The movie isn't only boring; it's troubling:
  26. The Return
    It's not the sort of film one can be said to enjoy, but it is the sort of film that has the clarity of a dream and lingers for hours.
  27. The Dreamers
    It may give many viewers a licentious flutter, but the highbrow ingredient -- although it desperately wants to be there -- is missing.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hiding and Seeking: Faith and Tolerance After the Holocaust
    Thoughtful documentary.
  29. Blind Shaft
    Slow going, but it provides an absorbing glimpse of a rarely seen side of Chinese life.
  30. On the Run
    The most cinematic of the three films. It tells its story in stark, often wordless scenes.
