    The Alamo
    The brave men who fought and perished at the Alamo believed fervently in their cause. For The Alamo to work, the audience must believe as well. That never really happens.

    The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement
    Offers enough glossy good cheer to appeal to everyone.

    Saved!
    The achievement of Saved!, a very funny teen comedy set in a Christian high school, lies in its careful avoidance of obvious traps.

    Tokyo Godfathers
    Gorgeous animated film.

    Love Object
    Misbegotten mess.

    Wimbledon
    There's no hiding a hokey love story that undercuts the picture's compelling tennis scenes.

    Superstar in a Housedress
    Funny, affectionate documentary.

    Shaolin Soccer
    Delightful blend of comedy, kung fu, soccer and special effects.

    My Baby's Daddy
    probably less painful than actual childbirth, but it's still a very long 86 minutes.

    Latter Days
    This tale of tortured love between a Mormon missionary and a West Hollywood tomcat renders its gay and religious characters so stereotypical that neither lifestyle appears attractive.

    Overnight
    Highly entertaining, in a schadenfreude sense, but incomplete.

    After the Sunset
    It's strung together, with cliches instead of puka shells.

    Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer
    Sometimes demure, sometimes funny and other times flat-out crazed, Wuornos was effusive and confrontational when Broomfield filmed her just before her 2002 execution in Florida.

    Seed of Chucky
    Were there an award for most bizarre and dispiriting comedy-horror hybrid featuring killer dolls, the latest installment in the "Child's Play" series would have it locked up.

    White Noise
    A rather boring horror film.
    • 88 Metascore

    Nobody Knows
    The film, winsome and tragic at once and finely attuned to the rhythms of childhood, always seems quite close to real life.

    Y Tu Mamá También
    Frank, funny and true as "Ghost World."

    The Return
    A tense, expertly acted Russian film clouded by its intentional ambiguity.
    • 64 Metascore

    Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
    The movie is like one of those newfangled Vegas casinos, where what appears to be open sky is really painted ceiling. What's initially dazzling becomes stifling.

    Shaun of the Dead
    Remarkably fresh and inventive.
    • 64 Metascore

    Bright Young Things
    A witty, energetic adaptation.

    Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
    The sequel might have the formula down, but it lacks everything that made "Anaconda'' fun.

    Blind Shaft
    Good storytelling.

    James' Journey to Jerusalem
    Sly and insightful fable.

    Christmas with the Kranks
    Filled with overly processed situations it tries to sell with manic energy, "Kranks" is canned, hammy and rolling as fast as it can.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 50 Carla Meyer
    The Code
    Light on inner conflict and heavy on cliches.
    • 74 Metascore

    The Sea Inside
    It's moving, romantic, dreamlike, flawlessly acted and so engaging as to make you forget about euthanasia before it jolts you back into recognition.

    America's Heart and Soul
    Pretty and vague, the kind of film that might play on a loop at a county fair's Americana exhibit.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 25 Carla Meyer
    Little Black Book
    An awkward and aggressively unfunny film.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Carla Meyer
    Her Majesty
    To earnest for its own good. Sincere and heartfelt, it's the kind of family film that might be at home on cable.
