  1. For some reason, the people who make modern musicals don't like to let you watch dancers dance -- there are still too few moments when you get to enjoy choreography from a dancer's hands to her feet.
  2. A head-clearing, mind-blowing blast from the past - one of the year's best.
  3. So smooth and satisfying it makes the similar "Ocean's Eleven" look like a game of three-card monte.
  4. Despite its shock value, Thirteen rises above dysfunctional-family-drama cliches, thanks to the truthfulness of its script and the keen eye of a sympathetic director.
  5. There's style and panache to spare. Mournful jazz adds to the mood.
  6. A terrific work of political and social satire set in a Nebraska high school that has the intelligence of (the less coherent) "Rushmore," while painting a much darker picture of politics and human relationships.
  7. His (Friedkin) very lack of subtlety is both the strength and weakness of The Exorcist in the 21st century.
  8. Like some of Hitchcock's films, the story - adapted from a novel by Charlotte Armstrong, an American mystery writer of the '40s and '50s - can be accused of stretching credibility and coincidence almost to the breaking point.
  9. Splendidly spectacular, intelligent and very well-acted.
  10. A haunting, superbly made film. But it's also an unrelentingly sad and depressing experience.
  11. Vastly superior to the small and independent films that have come out during the last six months.
  12. I was laughing so hard, tears were streaming down my cheeks.
  13. A reminder of just how good Hollywood storytelling can be.
  14. The faint of heart might want to leave early. If you elect to stay, remember: You were warned.
  15. It is not only an amazing technical accomplishment, it's also the wittiest and best-voiced animated movie to come along in years.
  16. A civics lesson about integration very artfully - and entertainingly - disguised as an upbeat family sports movie.
  17. Toy Story had a simpler, stronger story and the advantage of being the first of its kind. But it's quickly apparent that TS2 represents a major step forward in computer-animation artistry.
  18. Doesn't have the crossover appeal of the Mexican sexcapade "Y Tu Mama Tambien," but it does herald the arrival of an audacious young filmmaker. We can't wait to see what he does next.
  19. Daring, mesmerizing and exceedingly hard to forget.

    The entire film is a feast for the eyes that brings to mind the work of Hong Kong ace Wong Kar-Wai.
  20. Pays off with emotional dividends well worth the time investment.
  21. Morton deserves an Oscar nomination, but she is unlikely to get one. The movie is too dark and out of the mainstream to impress the conservative fogies who vote for the prizes.
  22. An indie gem.
  23. The most effective moments in Taymor's gorgeous, surprisingly romantic Frida are those that evoke the visual world from which Kahlo's work was formed or the paintings themselves, often using clever animation and other special effects.
  24. A comedy as black as the asphalt desert of a mall parking lot.
  25. Combines big laughs, a big heart and thoroughly winning characters to become the first big surprise of the fall season.
  26. Be warned: Though it's entirely justified by the story, there's a level of violence and brutality in Training Day -- that some terror-weary audience members may not care to cope with these days.
  27. Lynch's first G-rated feature, turns out to be one of the year's best films...a wonderful surprise.
  28. Tremendously affecting on several levels, In the Bedroom is must-see viewing for anyone who complains Hollywood doesn't make movies for grownups.
  29. I've seen three or four other movies by Miike, and I can tell you that he's one of the most exciting, versatile directors working today.
