    This is the rare movie that gets you to fall in love with characters you don't even like.

    As visual spectacle, Avatar is indelible, but as a movie it all but evaporates as you watch it.

    With its virtuoso tomfoolery, Fantastic Mr. Fox is like a homegrown Wallace and Gromit caper. To Wes Anderson: More, please!

    The clever and infectious reboot of the amazingly enduring sci-fi classic, director J.J. Abrams crafts an origin myth that avoids any hint of the origin doldrums. That's because he rewires us back into the original Star Trek's primal appeal.

    Has the resonance to stand not just as a terrific cartoon but as an emotionally pungent movie.

    The writer-director, Peter Sollett, cast the film with kids from his own neighborhood, who give themselves over to the camera with a spirit of improvised play that morphs into vivid, layered acting.

    As an achievement in macabre visual wizardry, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride has to be reckoned some sort of marvel.

    A fascinating and in many ways tragic documentary, takes us back to one of the high-water marks of the apes-are-people-too era.

    Up through its first half, The Age of Innocence is a masterfully orchestrated tale of romantic yearning.

    Paranoid Park has the slightly glum insularity of minimalist fiction, but it's the first of Van Sant's blitzed-generation films in which a young man wakes up instead of shutting down.

    A great many filmmakers — too many — use handheld cameras to evoke a sensation of raw, this is really happening immediacy. But director Paul Greengrass is unique. At a glance, his live-wire, ragged-camera method may seem overly familiar, but the way he employs it, that method is as expressive as the style of a superb novelist.

    A funny and madly arresting new documentary.

    Raimi has made the most crazy, fun, and terrifying horror movie in years.

    Up in the Air is light and dark, hilarious and tragic, romantic and real. It's everything that Hollywood has forgotten how to do; we're blessed that Jason Reitman has remembered

    The 3-D visuals envelop you, majestically, and that effect fuses with the band's surround-sound rapture to create a full-scale sensory high. U2 3D makes you feel stoned on movies.

    • 100 Owen Gleiberman
    The rare movie that turns cruelty into art.
    • 83 Metascore

    It would be hard to imagine a movie about drugs, depravity, and all-around bad behavior more electrifying than Trainspotting.
    • 82 Metascore

    It's a lesson in character to hear directors from David Lynch (digital believer) to Christopher Nolan (celluloid diehard) spout off.

    Venus has a swank pedigree, but in this case that doesn't mean it's much more than a quaint machine to elicit tears and awards.
    • 82 Metascore

    Emotionally mesmerizing.
    • 82 Metascore

    A true-life adventure that turns into a one-man disaster movie - and the darker it gets, the more enthralling it becomes.

    Tell No One's plot thickens in about five ways at once, but they're all connected. The issue of how is a riddle that does more than tease --gives you an itch you won't want to stop scratching.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 91 Owen Gleiberman
    The movie is a bumpy road of twists that leads to a revelation that has the shock and force of Greek tragedy.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 100 Owen Gleiberman
    A deeply straightforward yet beautifully crafted documentary.

    Dark and giddy at the same time, Leaving Las Vegas takes us into dreamy, intoxicated places that no movie about an alcoholic has gone before.

    Ballard connects you to the beauteous inner calm of the wild, even if audiences today are looking for a lot less calm.

    Brie Larson, as the caring but tormented Grace (who's pregnant and doesn't know if she has the faith to have her baby), and John Gallagher Jr., as her gentle-dweeb fellow worker Mason (who fears his love can't save her), show you what emotionally naked acting is all about.

    In Shoot Me, she wears her spiked cynicism like a cutting form of grace, and everyone around her (including audiences) gets healed by it.

    The film's style is so ''objective'' it's a bit subdued, yet this is a sports drama of total originality, as well as the most authentic inside view of the immigrant experience the movies have given us in quite a while.

    If Loach had given full voice to each side of this division, he could have made a great film -- maybe THE great film -- about the Irish struggle.
