    Baby Boy
    It would have been enough that Singleton raise these difficult questions without trying to wrap them up, too, in the last five minutes.

    Godzilla 2000
    A strange mix of the campy, at least in the English dubbing, and the awesome.
    • 79 Metascore

    Beautiful People
    For a bighearted effort like this one, some patience on the audience's part is not too much to ask. Go ahead. Take a chance.

    Timecode
    Story pitches are made. Coke is snorted. There is lesbian sex. Fellatio. An earthquake. A murder. Just another day in Hollywood.

    High Art
    It is wonderful to see how Sheedy gives shape to this performance -- her eyes, a photographer's eyes, carefully sizing everything up. [18 June 1998, Daily Notebook, p.E1]

    Croupier
    A very smart noir about gambling, smartly directed by Mike Hodges -- until almost the very end. It craps out in the decisive London casino heist scene.

    Passion of Mind
    At its most interesting, and a bit frightening, when Moore starts to get a little loony. Too bad they didn't follow through and make this more of a psychological thriller than a melodrama.

    Donnie Darko
    If this movie ever figured out what it wanted to be when it grows up, it would be a terrific one.

    Cure
    It's more psychological than a genre movie, and that is the source of both its greatest interest and its biggest problem.

    Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
    The lowdown on Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, Rob Schneider's first starring role, is that it is. Lowdown, that is.

    The Luzhin Defence
    When the film sticks with the eccentric comedy of a highborn woman attracted to a preoccupied genius, it works splendidly. When it strays into melodrama, it is as ill-equipped as Luzhin.

    Dead or Alive
    This is no-holds-barred filmmaking. Some viewers will find it disgusting. Others will call the director's bluff.

    The Low Down
    If the movie sometimes seems not to come to much either, it does have something to say to those patient enough to stick with it.

    Vengo
    There may be no more unusual movie around than Vengo.
    • 63 Metascore

    Life
    Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are back together and give both of their careers some new life in this sentimental comedy.

    Boiler Room
    Fascinating -- up to a point.
    • 62 Metascore

    Finding Forrester
    Rich supplies some eloquent grace notes, and Van Sant uses them to make understated music.
    • 61 Metascore

    Zoolander
    It's probably pointless to complain when a movie sets out to be stupid and actually is. (And the people who came up with a couple of these ideas think male models are dumb.)

    Est - Ouest
    It is well-made in an old-fashioned way, and its straight-arrow lack of cynicism may be old- fashioned as well.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    The Best Man
    The glossy ensemble cast is consistently interesting.
    • 61 Metascore

    Cube
    Cube falls into the dreaded trap of allegory -- aaaaaargh! -- and the clunky dialogue makes a midnight bull session seem brilliant by comparison.
    • 59 Metascore

    Les amants criminels
    Straddles a number of genres -- horror film, lovers on the lam, fairy tale -- and gives them all a cool, knowing spin.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    The Yards
    Keeps sinking into its own grimness.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    Cruel Intentions
    It is maliciously entertaining, up to a point.
    • 56 Metascore

    Anna and the King
    Before it runs off track--it does have some spectacular moments.
    • 47 Metascore

    The Legend of Bagger Vance
    A pleasant myth.
    • 52 Metascore

    The Wood
    The picture, directed by Rick Famuyiwa, becomes a juggling act, contrasting the efforts of the three grown-up buddies to get to a wedding on time, with flashbacks of their youth.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    Romeo Must Die
    Li is a phenomenon.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    The Ninth Gate
    Summoning silliness Roman Polanski salutes and spoofs satanic thrillers .
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    Six Days Seven Nights
    Action in an action comedy is supposed to be funny, too, as Jackie Chan well knows. The refitting of the crashed plane is so tedious we feel as if we're doing the work ourselves.
