  1. In My Skin
    It's a silly, if simultaneously deadpan and stomach-churning, psychological portrait of one crazy lady.
  2. Gloomy Sunday
    It's a piquant story but unfortunately the movie creaks with European-style artifice. It tells its story in a rather cinematically stilted style, and some of the dramatic moments come perilously close to unintentional parody.
  3. Elf
    The first and possibly the last Will Ferrell star vehicle. It's a clumsy, tedious ride that wears out its welcome as it wears out the seat of your pants and the circulation in your lower limbs.
  4. Love Actually
    If listing the cast of Love Actually is exhausting, it's even more tiring to watch it.
  5. The Matrix Revolutions
    The Wachowski brothers have rendered their chronicles into banality, as if trying to imitate the qualitative tailspin of the "Star Wars" series.
  6. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
    Gets viewers inside these tense, emotional and occasionally terrifying events with immediacy and, given the confusion of the time, remarkable clarity.
  7. Die, Mommie, Die!
    What's strangest, though, about Die Mommie Die! is how material that was obviously so giddily irreverent in origin became so inert, so joyless and dull.
  8. Shattered Glass
    In a sense, Shattered Glass is a parenthetical horror movie in which someone discovers (or worse, denies) the monster within themselves.
  9. The Human Stain
    All in all, it's like a bachelor's apartment: a complete mess.
  10. Girlhood
    Sobering yet faintly optimistic documentary.
  11. The Singing Detective
    Unfortunately, apart from Downey's convincing contribution, the movie feels too contrived, stagy and inorganic to draw any pleasure.
  12. Radio
    A train wreck of a film lying inert where the tracks of the Feel Good Line cross the Path of Good Intentions.
  13. Elephant
    A movie that throws out the rules with audacity, assurance and admirable moral seriousness.
  14. Scary Movie 3
    It's outrageous. It's obnoxious. It's offensive. And yes, it's also really, really, really funny. Or, at least, it is for the first 40 minutes or so.

    Beyond Borders
    The premise of the movie deserves better.
  16. In the Cut
    Although Ryan is cannily cast against type, she doesn't bring much more than muttery incoherence and nudity to the role.
  17. Sylvia
    Sylvia plays it safe, and in doing so it becomes little more than just another domestic melodrama devoid of life and, of all things, poetry.
  18. Veronica Guerin
    In a movie whose texture is supposed to be hard-edged realism, the characterization seems a little too pat and jaunty.
  19. Runaway Jury
    Efficient, precise, carefully calibrated and terrifically entertaining.
  20. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
    Weakens, dilutes, disinfects and otherwise undermines the legacy of Tobe Hooper's 1974 original.
  21. Pieces of April
    Belongs, wholly and completely, to Clarkson, who delivers Joy's mordant asides and withering observations with a flawless balance of tartness and vulnerability.
  22. Dopamine
    Shakespeare asked, "Or in the heart, or in the head?" It's not a new question by any means, but it's one that is given a fresh and refreshing adult twist by Decena's heady yet steady-handed Dopamine.
  23. The Flower of Evil
    This movie is a mixed repast: good food and wine laced with enough misanthropic poison to turn any stomach.
  24. Good Boy!
    When it comes right down to it, the talking animal thing is sort of secondary to what is, at heart, just a simple but perfectly satisfying little story about a boy who wants to keep his dog.
