    95 Miles to Go
    A tedious experience.

    Out Cold
    It's the perfect image for a smelly and instantly flushable comedy that telegraphs punch lines in advance like a boorish dinner party guest.

    Enough
    Lacking a real actress, director Michael Apted is called upon to fudge the facts and make Slim's ordeal as taut as possible. He gets the job done, but the suspense scenes have a generic fright-by-numbers feel that tell us he's wearing his professional hat and knows it.

    The Last Man
    Fat, homely men who feel they have been wrongly underrepresented in underwear ads should flock to The Last Man.

    Paid in Full
    a freefall into urban hell that doesn't give us The impetus to jump or the awful gratification of the ride.

    Seven Pounds
    The rest of Seven Pounds feels like a half-hour "Twilight Zone" script that has been pressed onto a gob of Silly Putty and stretched to the sinking point.

    Kangaroo Jack
    88 minutes of desperate gyrations intended to simulate humor.

    The One
    Li's far too unthreatening a presence to cause much of a stir amid the din of hard rock music and the pall left by fight choreography that has had every last bit of life digitally drained away.

    Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles
    Where there was a modicum of charm to Mick Dundee's earliest exploits in New York City, the joke has withered as markedly as Hogan's face.

    Resident Evil
    A ditsy and dizzying spook-house thriller in high-tech, high-hemline gear.

    Scary Movie 4
    Isn't it amazing to see just how low some people will stoop if you pay them enough?

    When a Stranger Calls
    Droopy remake.

    The Man Who Cried
    There is even less going on between Ricci and Depp here than there was in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," mostly because Potter gives them nothing to play.

    The Adventures of Pluto Nash
    It's not awful, but the high cost of a movie ticket these days seems like a steep price to pay for 90 minutes of air conditioning and production design.

    The X Files: I Want to Believe
    Even at its stride, "The X-Files" was a load of malarkey. But it was thoughtful malarkey and compulsively watchable. One could say the same about the first two-thirds of The X-Files: I Want to Believe before it spins out of control and into a delirious plane of awfulness.
