    Selma
    A deeply moving film, it's a powerful reminder of a time not so long ago when, for a large group of Americans, attempting to register to vote could result in a serious threat to their lives.

    Predestination
    This intriguing and well-acted gender-bending story occasionally feels like "The Crying Game" meets "Looper."

    New Year's Eve
    Sitting through New Year's Eve is like attending a crowded party filled with pretty people who have nothing to say.

    Happy Feet Two
    For a computer-animated movie about dancing penguins, it's surprisingly leaden. Not even the impressive voice talent can rev up this clumsy spectacle.

    Real Steel
    It's an odd blend - a sentimental story in a futuristic world of brutal machine-maneuvered fights. There are some ringside thrills, but it's not a seamless mesh.

    Human Traffic
    Someone has seen "Trainspotting" too many times, and it's writer/director Justin Kerrigan.

    East Is East
    A robust family comedy that saves its wildest moments for a climactic "get-together."

    Snow Falling on Cedars
    Compelling almost in spite of itself, thanks to the impressionistic imagery of cinematographer Robert Richardson.

    House on Haunted Hill
    Fun for less than 30 of the 80-minute running time.

    Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
    The movie is still too solemn.

    The Barbarian Invasions
    Despite a slight tendency to be overly pleased with itself, this is a smart piece of work that got Arcand's screenplay an award at Cannes.

    Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker
    Though the film is not terribly original (and features a jarringly miscast Alicia Silverstone as Alex's nanny), the action scenes are diverting, the veteran cast is amusing and the engaging Pettyfer makes a solid debut.

    Saving Grace
    Though not quite up to "The Full Monty" or "Waking Ned Devine," there's just enough left in that overseas whimsy stockpile to generate good buzz (the word-of-mouth moviegoer kind).

    Big Momma's House 2
    This could be the start of an awful new genre: Nannies Gone Wild.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 38 Staff [Not Credited]
    Bride of the Wind
    Stuffing painters, writers and, naturally, Gustav Mahler (Jonathan Pryce) into about 90 minutes, the film comes off as little more than a handsomely mounted scorecard of sexual escapades.

    The Grandfather
    The material has enough meat to enable charitable viewers to drift in and out, but the result is too arch to conjure up much affection.

    The Anniversary Party
    If one of its points is to show that underused thirtyish actresses still are attractive, it succeeds with Leigh and Cates -- and Jennifer Beals, who also provides a flashback feeling playing Cummings' ex-squeeze.

    Starter for 10
    Despite its awkward title, Starter for 10 is a winning coming-of-age tale told with grace and charm.

    You Can Count on Me
    The best drama you've seen about Anytown, USA, since "American Beauty."

    Waking the Dead
    Spanning the counterculture '70s to the more career-oriented '80s and doing justice to neither decade, this event-heavy adaptation of Scott Spencer's novel may give viewers whiplash.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 100 Staff [Not Credited]
    Apollo 13
    "The Right Stuff" will endure as the more ambitious movie, but this book-faithful, 2-hour team effort shrewdly keeps its eye on the ball.

    Dude, Where's My Car?
    Any civilization that can produce a movie this stupid probably deserves to be hit by famine and pestilence.

    The Little Vampire
    A dreary poke-along adaptation of the Angela Sommer-Bodenburg children's stories.
    • 7 Metascore

    Screwed
    Clumsy on every level.

    One Day in September
    Comprehensive and blisteringly paced.

    The Pink Panther 2
    Perhaps Martin should go back to taking chances and writing original work.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 63 Staff [Not Credited]
    The Guru
    Agreeable and slipshod in equal fashion, The Guru illustrates the subtle distinction between stupidity and goofiness.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 25 Staff [Not Credited]
    The Perfect Man
    So imperfect that it may qualify as one of the summer's worst movies.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 63 Staff [Not Credited]
    Aquamarine
    Despite corny one-liners and plot developments that don't always hold water, Aquamarine rises above the flotsam filling theaters this time of year with a likable tale of friendship and charming performances.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 63 Staff [Not Credited]
    Everyone's Hero
    A sweet, inspirational movie that doesn't offer any surprises, but entertains youthful audiences in a gentle, almost old-fashioned way.
