THIS WEEK'S TOP MOVIES IN RELEASE
	52% Alice in Wonderland Tim Burton's Alice sacrifices the book's minimal narrative coherence -- and much of its heart -- but it's an undeniable visual treat.
	38% Brooklyn's Finest It's appropriately gritty, and soaked in the kind of palpable tension Antoine Fuqua delivers so well, but Brooklyn's Finest suffers from the comparisons its cliched script provokes.
	67% Shutter Island It may not rank with Scorsese's best work, but Shutter Island's gleefully unapologetic genre thrills represent the director at his most unrestrained.
	19% Cop Out Cop Out is a cliched buddy action/comedy that suffers from stale gags and slack pacing.
	82% Avatar It might be more impressive on a technical level than as a piece of storytelling, but Avatar reaffirms James Cameron's singular gift for imaginative, absorbing filmmaking.
	72% The Crazies Tense, nicely shot, and uncommonly intelligent, The Crazies is the rare horror remake that works.
	50% Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Though it may seem like just another Harry Potter knockoff, Percy Jackson benefits from a strong supporting cast, a speedy plot, and plenty of fun with Greek mythology.
	17% Valentine's Day Eager to please and stuffed with stars, Valentine's Day squanders its promise with a frantic, episodic plot and an abundance of rom-com cliches.
	93% Crazy Heart Thanks to a captivating performance from Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart transcends its overly familiar origins and finds new meaning in an old story.
	28% Dear John Built from many of the same ingredients as other Nicholas Sparks tearjerkers, Dear John suffers from its cliched framework, as well as Lasse Hallstrom's curiously detached directing.
