    The Count of Monte Cristo
    An exhilarating visualization of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel of betrayal and vengeance.

    Iron Monkey
    The creative vigor of its originality, distilled in a pure and unadulterated form, is simply exhilarating.

    Michael Jordan to the Max
    What makes this documentary worth seeing is the sensational courtside footage taken with IMAX cameras, which bring a whole new way of seeing the game to fans who don't get to sit in Jack Nicholson's section.

    Secondhand Lions
    Even without handicapping for the limitations of its gentle genre, the film has moments of whimsical humor and thoughtful plotting that soar tantalizingly close to something that could be enjoyed on its own merits.

    Kiss of the Dragon
    The Hollywood action genre, sliding into a lazy dependence on computer-generated fakery, needs this authentic kick to the head delivered by Jet Li.

    Rush Hour 2
    Action and comedy are more impressive here than in the first film.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 75 Charles Savage
    Bait
    A competent but not extraordinary action-comedy.

    40 Days and 40 Nights
    The quality writing, delivered by likable Hartnett and his talented co-stars, makes up for the sometimes flat production. A richly humorous background is provided by well-played eccentric minor characters.

    Double Take
    Frenetic, maddening, exhilarating, ridiculous, fascinating farce of an action-comedy-thriller-mystery-whatever.
    • Miami Herald
    • 81 Metascore

    I'm the One That I Want
    It's hard to connect with long minutes of self-pity by a temporarily has-been celebrity.

    Bartleby
    Though this film can be clumsy, its ambitions are equally -- and admirably -- uncommercial.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 63 Charles Savage
    Big Momma's House
    The kind of stupid-funny movie that should only be seen in a crowded theater.
    • Miami Herald
    • 48 Metascore
    • 63 Charles Savage
    Orange County
    Even if the whole of Orange County is less than the sum of its parts, Jack Black is not the only thing to like about this movie.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 63 Charles Savage
    Behind Enemy Lines
    The conflict (in Afghanistan) makes this updated Rambo-esque thriller seem at once dated and yet relevant in ways its creators could not have envisioned.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    The Iron Ladies
    A formulaic and didactic but good-hearted and sometimes amusing underdog sports yarn and plea for social acceptance.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    Joe Somebody
    The best scenes in the movie belong to James Belushi.

    xXx
    XXX may be a celebration of jock culture stupidity, but it's also guaranteed not to produce any ZZZ's.
    • Miami Herald
    • 35 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    Gone in Sixty Seconds
    In the end, for all its auto-erotic flair, Gone in 60 Seconds is missing a money shot.

    • 54 Metascore

    Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy
    The result is less an examination of the porn industry than it is a portrait of Jeremy's own humanity, with all its quirks and eccentricities.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    Psycho Beach Party
    While there is archival value in permanently recording this work on celluloid, the best way to really enjoy it remains live on stage.
    • 31 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    Life or Something Like It
    Pseudo-profound fluff.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
    Has some very funny moments, it is weighed down by gooey sentimentality.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    Bubble Boy
    Belongs to that genre of movie that works hard to achieve a certain twisted and demented wit.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    The One
    When one actor plays both hero and villain, the viewer knows that what is being shown is not an authentic dance.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    Underworld
    A loud and relentlessly overstated B-movie, and yet not entirely stupid.
    • 29 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    Blue Moon
    Sweet but colossally dull relationship movie.
    • Miami Herald
    • 29 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    Scary Movie 2
    It's a formula and hard to describe as good in any artistic sense, but the viewers who pay to see it -- and many, many people are going to -- will get exactly what they want.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    The Musketeer
    Its failure to be extraordinary is thus all the more cutting, and its redundancy all the more unforgivable.
    • 14 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    Dungeons & Dragons
    A splashy, silly movie that inexplicably stars Jeremy Irons but will delight 10-year-old boys across the realm. Regrettably, the hordes of pre-adolescent boys it would have delighted most were that age 20 years ago.
    • Miami Herald
    • 30 Metascore
    • 50 Charles Savage
    Queen of the Damned
    The original rock songs on the soundtrack, which are supposed to make Lestat ''bigger than Elvis,'' are terrible -- a common challenge for movies about fictional musicians.
