    Three Kings
    A daring, teeth-grinding experience that doesn't let the viewer rest easy.

    All About My Mother
    Almodovar is adept at weaving together strands you'd never guess would match.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 50 Jami Bernard
    Valiant
    The visuals might be undistinguished, but the voices are excellent.
    • 26 Metascore

    Phantoms
    Phantoms is fear-less.

    The Triplets of Belleville
    An insanely delicious animated feature.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Jami Bernard
    Word Wars
    Amusing and slightly alarming documentary.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Jami Bernard
    Girlfight
    Uplifting and moving in a traditional Hollywood way, while also seeming as raw and unfiltered as cinema vérité.

    My Big Fat Greek Wedding
    Vardalos is a breath of fresh air. After all the little nipped and tucked bunnies we've been seeing onscreen for so long, we forget what real women look like.

    Jackpot
    Shows that there's a limit to how much mileage one can get from offbeat, creepy and symbiotic.

    Lola
    Jacques Demy showed up with the lightest touch with his 1960 Lola, a movie that has been called a musical without music.

    Portraits chinois
    The group in Portraits Chinois is a little too diverse and unwieldy to keep emotional track of.

    little man
    But with her penchant for frilly romance and sentimentality, the focus is often, cloyingly, on Conn as the heroine of the story, the mother who (sob!) wouldn't give up.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 88 Jami Bernard
    The Manchurian Candidate
    The performance of the movie is Liev Schreiber as Shaw, a man howlingly uncomfortable in his own skin.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 88 Jami Bernard
    Infernal Affairs
    The plot is intricate and tight. The preamble is a bit challenging to sort out. But the movie's engine is the relationships and the characters' inner lives, all of it boiling with emotional intensity.

    • 75 Jami Bernard
    The Yes Men
    A sobering documentary done in a whimsical style.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 88 Jami Bernard
    The Incredibles
    Clever, buoyant and surprisingly human.

    Hustle & Flow
    The feel-good movie of the summer. And the song this pimp works up, about how hard it is to manage a stable of ho's, is catchy and moving.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 50 Jami Bernard
    The Thing About My Folks
    It's the same old, same old - except with some really snappy one-liners.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 38 Jami Bernard
    Jeepers Creepers II
    There are some nicely gory touches for genre connoisseurs...But JC2 lacks the all-important character development we got in the first installment.

    Rabbit-Proof Fence
    Here, Noyce lets his camera, the geography and the youngsters tell this exceptionally powerful story.

    The Prince of Egypt
    Apt to scare kids. [18 December 1998, p.72]

    Bedazzled
    This updated version has the good sense to star Brendan Fraser, who is shaping up as one of our finest romantic-comedy stars.

    102 Dalmatians
    The floating, flailing, flying puppies in the inspired opening credits of 102 Dalmatians set the tone for an adorable sequel to the live-action version of the famously spotted cartoon.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Jami Bernard
    Separate Lies
    A neat, twisty little domestic drama about smart people, foolish choices.
    • 18 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    Gigli
    Gigli is a disaster.
    • 60 Metascore

    Happy Accidents
    D'Onofrio is a natural for the role of a romantic who just may be a freak. A highly physical actor, he ranges between sweetly awkward and a candidate for the kind of mental hospital shown in "Session 9."

    Maestro
    Filmmaker Josell Ramos has his heart in the right place, but his camera is usually in the wrong place, complete with bad lighting and all-around lousy tech credits.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Jami Bernard
    Taboo
    Impressionistic and open to interpretation, which is a kind way of saying that there's no way to figure out the ending.
    • New York Daily News
    • 39 Metascore
    • 63 Jami Bernard
    But I'm a Cheerleader
    Amusing and good-natured, but necessarily thin.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Jami Bernard
    Ice Age: The Meltdown
    A good-natured, gag-filled sequel.
