The Great
	1.	Little Miss Sunshine
		The funniest movie in years - if the Oscars didn't have an anti-comedy bias, this would contend in several categories.
	2.	United 93
		A work of stunning power.
	3.	The Hills Have Eyes
		The best horror movie in years.
	4.	Look Both Ways
		Engaging Australian tale of intersecting lives over one weekend.
	5.	The Road to Guantanamo
		Is actually made more dramatic by its matter-of-fact storytelling.
	6.	Quinceanera
		Kitchen sink drama goes for a lot and makes contact on most.
	7.	Brick
		One of the better noir films of recent years.
	8.	Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story
		There are so many movies about making movies, but this one is actually hilarious.
	9.	Cars
		Pixar does it again. Up there with the best of their previous efforts.
	10.	Dave Chappelle's Block Party
		Provides a glimpse of Chappelle at a pivotal point in his life without being obvious. Plus contains some great music.
The Good
	11.	Conversations With Other Women
		Great performances by Eckhart and Bonham-Carter.
	12.	Bubble
		Feels a bit like the film experiment that it is, but also very engrossing.
	13.	District B-13
		The best action movie of the summer.
	14.	The Puffy Chair
		Talky, charming indie film.
	15.	V for Vendetta
		Mixes politics and action well.
	16.	The Child
		Tale of redemption that doesn't provide easy redemption.
	17.	Superman Returns
		Generally entertaining, but way too long.
	18.	Twelve and Holding
		Director Michael Cuesta again gets great peformances out of young actors.
	19.	The Descent
		Very effective horror movie, though it does get a bit repetitive.
	20.	Manderlay
		von Trier's "USA Trilogy" is turning into a very fulfulling and interesting endeavor.
	21.	Snakes on a Plane
		A fun B-movie thrill ride.
	22.	She's the Man
		Generally cute and funny... plus I have a thing for Amanda Bynes.
	23.	Evil
		Standard story but very well done. If Andreas Wilson can speak English he could be an international star.
	24.	The Death of Mr. Lazarescu
		The intentionally deliberate pace eventually wears on you in this admirable effort.
	25.	Night Watch
		Stylish and a solid setup for the trilogy.
	26.	A Prairie Home Companion
		Consistently pleasant.
	27.	A Good Woman
		Fun and entertaining adaptation of Oscar Wilde's play, Lady Windermere's Fan.
	28.	Water
		Beautiful film created controversy in India.
	29.	One Last Thing
		Charming and touching... Michael Angarano has the makings of a star.
	30.	Swimmers
		Small tale delivers on an emotional level.
	31.	Imagine Me and You
		Appealing lead performances with a strong supporting cast drive this entertaining romantic comedy.
	32.	Battle in Heaven
		Contemplative film about the search for redemption forces you to spend time with unlikeable characters.
	33.	El Perro
		Would be the favorite in the best performance by an animal category.
	34.	The Break-Up
		The stars keep it entertaining.
	35.	Somersault
		Abbie Cornish could become the "next Naomi Watts."
	36.	The Devil Wears Prada
		Hathaway's one note performance can't keep up with Streep.
	37.	A Scanner Darkly
		The dreamlike state of animation succeeded in making me pretty sleepy.
	38.	The Illusionist
		Very skilled workmanlike effort. Doesn't break any new ground but retreads pretty well.
	39.	My Country, My Country
		Interesting, if not quite exceptional documentary on the Iraq elections.
	40.	Clerks II
		A few funny moments, but Smith has seemingly mellowed, and that's not a good thing.
	41.	Down in the Valley
		Good until it suffers from the too many endings syndrome.
The Fair
	42.	Step Up
		Nothing you haven't seen many times before, but fairly entertaining.
	43.	Heading South
		Great cast, interesting premise, but doesn't fully deliver.
	44.	Cavite
		Serviceable indie thriller.
	45.	Peaceful Warrior
		Corny, but the Nolte/Mechlowicz version of the Miyagi/Daniel-san relationship actually pretty much works.
	46.	Wordplay
		Entertaining, but never completely delivers.
	47.	The Ordeal
		A nice attempt to take a standard horror plot to new places, but it doesn't quite work.
	48.	World Trade Center
		The most constant emotion I felt during the movie was guilt about the boredom I was feeling.
	49.	Last Holiday
		Somewhat appealing, but pretty flat overall.
	50.	Brothers of the Head
		Such a bizarre idea, it should have been more entertaining.
	51.	Little Fish
		Somewhat predictable been there done that story raised by strong performances.
	52.	Grandma's Boy
		Not a particularly *good* movie, but enough fun to make it passable.
	53.	The Heart of the Game
		Decent, but definitely no Hoop Dreams.
	54.	Why We Fight
		Interesting idea, but felt aimless.
	55.	Accepted
		Blah, blah, blah, just so very blah although Justin Long is an appealing leading everyman.
	56.	Something New
		Not much chemistry between the two leads.
	57.	Unknown White Male
		Starts off compelling, but loses steam and becomes somewhat repetitive.
	58.	Sorry, Haters
		I really can't make up my mind exactly what to think about this one.
	59.	The Quiet
		Teen thriller that is never very thrilling.
	60.	Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
		Dreadfully boring first half, gets mildly better in the second half.
The Bad
	61.	The House of Sand
		It feels like you've been stuck in a desert with them, and not in a good way.
	62.	The Proposition
		It just didn't deliver for me.
	63.	The Da Vinci Code
		Adaptation completely without energy.
	64.	ATL
		Cliches all over the place.
	65.	Adam and Steve
		Falls into many of the traps of gay movies. A couple laughs, but that's it.
	66.	Hostel
		Not scary, not disturbing, just boring.
	67.	BloodRayne
		Really should be a direct to video title.
	68.	The Mistress of Spices
		Romance minus chemistry equals tedium.
	69.	Tamara
		A mess of a movie.
	70.	Nacho Libre
		I laughed exactly one and a half times.
	71.	The Omen
		Unnecessary remake a chore to sit through.
	72.	John Tucker Must Die
		Not a single laugh, and some of the worst acting in a major studio release.
	73.	End of the Spear
		The acting and writing is below average, but it's the editing that's particularly bad.
The Ugly
	74.	Final Destination 3
		The DVD has a choose your own adventure option. I recommend choosing to turn it off.
	75.	50 Ways of Saying Fabulous
		More like 50 ways of saying this movie stinks.
	76.	Running Scared
		Poorly written, acted, filmed... atrociously bad and offensive (not because of the violence, but because of the ridiculousness and incoherence.)
