    Vengo
    There may be no more unusual movie around than Vengo.

    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.

    Sugar Town
    Isn't vicious. It's just cheerfully mocking as it courses the canyons and flatlands of Los Angeles.

    Happy, Texas
    Anybody with a soft spot for fakers, who either identifies with them or just admires their chutzpah, is going to get a kick out of Happy, Texas.

    Southpaw
    Totally involving.

    • 25 Bob Graham
    Darkness Falls
    Dumb.

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

    The Claim
    It overcomes some patchiness to turn into a rich emotional experience, ranging in degree from fire to ice.

    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.)

    • 75 Bob Graham
    The Count of Monte Cristo
    The stuff of high romance, brought off with considerable wit, too. People are going to love it.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Bob Graham
    Rush Hour
    This good-natured comedy is set off by the high spirits of its stars.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    Est - Ouest
    It is well-made in an old-fashioned way, and its straight-arrow lack of cynicism may be old- fashioned as well.

    The Best Man
    The glossy ensemble cast is consistently interesting.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    Cube
    Cube falls into the dreaded trap of allegory -- aaaaaargh! -- and the clunky dialogue makes a midnight bull session seem brilliant by comparison.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Bob Graham
    The X Files
    Neither true believers nor newcomers to the phenomenon will be disappointed.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Bob Graham
    Happy Accidents
    The actors have enough appeal to keep it moving over the speed bumps.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Bob Graham
    Fantasia 2000
    A millennial medley to the max.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Bob Graham
    The Contender
    Thoroughly engrossing.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    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
    • 100 Bob Graham
    Kiss of the Dragon
    It is not merely a thriller but a shocker. It will separate hard-core Jet Li followers from the fair-weather fans.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    The Yards
    Keeps sinking into its own grimness.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Bob Graham
    Holy Smoke
    If this is an example of Australian live-and-let- live, it is very likable.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Bob Graham
    The Red Violin
    Some will say this film is overly ambitious, but what the hell. The man put five years of his life into making this epic mystery. We can surely give it two hours of ours.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 75 Bob Graham
    The Shipping News
    It's hardly possible to overstate what a welcome change of pace The Shipping News is for admirers of Kevin Spacey.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Bob Graham
    Cecil B. DeMented
    It's an audacious little comedy with bursts of hilarity and a certain giddy energy.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 100 Bob Graham
    The Corruptor
    The Corruptor' quickly turns into a good bad-cop drama of fascinating moral complexity.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Bob Graham
    Dark Blue World
    A crackerjack combination of live action, special effects and recycled footage.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Bob Graham
    A Knight's Tale
    More often than not, it's fun.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Bob Graham
    Return to Paradise
    A potential problem with the movie is that it can be a challenge watching people hand-wringing over moral decisions. But the acting is so good that it makes it worth sticking with during the slow patches.
