    Quills
    Quills is bound to titillate some, but for most it's likely to summon little more than a few Oscars and appreciative yawns.

    Memento
    Feels mostly like an audacious prank.

    Crimson Gold
    Not a great film, but a good one.

    Three Kings
    A nifty little war movie that defies convenient categorization.

    The Filth and the Fury
    A big gob of fun.

    A Mighty Wind
    The songs are actually quite good--if also hideously embarrassing--but these comedians take their roles far too seriously, to their peril and our puzzlement.
    • 81 Metascore

    Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
    One of this year's best films--a classic, even, like a C.S. Forester "Hornblower" story on steroids.

    The Human Body
    Pustules, puberty and pregnancy...seven stories tall! Mostly grand but occasionally grody
    • 35 Metascore

    A Rumor of Angels
    The extra-short length is puzzling -- about half an hour has been lopped off the length of the original Canadian release -- but what remains feels whole and wholly satisfying, a rare, successful merging of the obvious and the haunting.

    Kiss of the Spider Woman
    Powerful, sensuous and thematically hokey transsexual adventure.

    The Hours
    It's a noble work, an elegant work, a compassionate work -- and a somewhat tedious and glaringly self-important work.

    Promises
    Despite its lively tone and brisk editing, the project's sad epilogue -- shot two years later -- suggests that Abraham and Mohammed will be duking it out on the world's dime for some time to come.

    Night at the Golden Eagle
    It's Tommy's job to clean the peep booths surrounding her, and after viewing this one, you'll feel like mopping up, too.

    Whale Rider
    Once in a while a film comes along that is as sound, smart, sweet and significant as can be, and Whale Rider is such a film.

    Last Resort
    His (Pawlikowski) love story, which is by turns sensuous, charming, and uniquely moving.

    Siddhartha (re-release)
    A beautiful and timeless achievement, Conrad Rooks' 1972 adaptation of Herman Hesse's appropriation of East Indian mythology still entrances.

    Stage Beauty
    The design is gorgeous, the dialogue delicious, and even the supporting characters prove resonant.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Gregory Weinkauf
    Beautiful People
    Deftly delivered and free of gratuitous gloss, yet enormously rich in its unassuming manner.

    Blind Spot. Hitler's Secretary
    If Junge's first-hand recollections aren't always visually stimulating, they're still more illuminating than most cinematic re-creations of the era.
    • 79 Metascore

    Quadrophenia (re-release)
    As a document of rockin, youth rebellion, the film lodges perfectly between "American Graffiti" and "Trainspotting."

    Gangster No. 1
    While you think you're watching just another in a series of British gangster films, you may suddenly realize that you're watching what is, thus far, the year's best horror movie.

    Shadow of the Vampire
    Without question, Shadow of the Vampire is a stately and elegant horror film, interwoven with delicious strands of black comedy.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 100 Gregory Weinkauf
    Dirty Pretty Things
    It's best appraised as a strong ensemble piece, a darkly dreamy slab of social commentary and definitely one of the year's best films.

    Best in Show
    While the movie is frequently sharp and funny and weirdly relatable, the material feels too much like reality.
    • 65 Metascore

    The Powerpuff Girls
    A piquant entertainment and zeitgeist reflector designed to embolden little thrashettes.

    Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
    An affecting film, but it just may not be everyone's cup of cyanide.
    • 30 Metascore

    The Butterfly Effect
    As a thriller, The Butterfly Effect is iffy and uneven, but as a portrait of a people, it's effective and intriguing.
    • 77 Metascore

    The Virgin Suicides
    [Coppola] understands the crisp, oblique horror and wistfulness of Eugenides' narrative, plunking down five enchanting princesses into an environment that is anything but magical.
    • 77 Metascore

    Our Song
    What's most impressive about this is that, if one didn't know better, the naturalism of the performances could be taken for that of a documentary.

    Monty Python's Life of Brian
    Brian's brilliant, saved itself by benefactor George Harrison, who ponied up the budget of 2 million pounds...simply because he loved the script when industry bigwigs turned characteristically chicken. Its overall irreverence proves a lasting balm for the ages. Thank you, Pythons, for setting such a high and enduring standard.
