    Wadd: The Life & Times of John C. Holmes
    Fascinatingly, many of the interviewees disagree vehemently about Holmes' personality: some of his co-stars and colleagues found him repellently abusive and selfish.

    The Mystic Masseur
    It's only because the performances are so vividly entertaining -- Mandvi and Puri are particularly good -- and the painstakingly reconstructed locations so lovely that the saggier sequences are tolerable.

    Vengo
    Neither convincing nor remotely dramatic.

    Dancer in the Dark
    If it weren't for a terrific central performance by the Icelandic pop singer Bjork, Dancer in the Dark would be all but unwatchable.

    The Cat's Meow
    But even if The Cat's Meow is unsubtle and overlong, in its jaundiced way it convincingly captures a fascinating period in Hollywood history.

    Happy Times
    Still worth watching for Dong Jie's performance -- and for the way it documents a culture in the throes of rapid change.

    Bombay Eunuch
    The result is a remarkably beguiling documentary, on a number of levels.

    The Dreamers
    A miracle of badness, a kind of art- house "Showgirls" -- which actually exceeds "Showgirls" in its self-indulgence, shallowness and sheer stupidity.

    Friday After Next
    Bedeviled by labored writing and slack direction.

    Sugar Town
    A real pleasure, a sweet, funny, ensemble comedy...utterly authentic.

    Happy, Texas
    It's a funny and occasionally poignant movie.

    Dogma
    Kevin Smith's attempt to combine sketchy low comedy with long-winded theological speculation results in a mostly unfunny and occasionally tedious mess.

    Outside Providence
    Peter Farrelly is angry at Miramax for marketing his and his brother Bobby's new film as a follow-up to their surprise smash hit, "There's Something About Mary."

    All I Wanna Do
    You have to sit through 90 minutes that feel like three hours.

    Made
    It's often hilarious, and there is lots of the zippy, apparently improvised dialogue that made "Swingers" such a pleasure.

    Twilight: Los Angeles
    When it was first performed in theaters a couple of years after the L.A. riots took place, Twilight: Los Angeles must have been very powerful. Unfortunately, director Mark Levin's filmed version lacks that impact.

    Tomcats
    Much of Tomcats is actually boisterously, crudely entertaining.

    Austin Powers in Goldmember
    Uneven, self-conscious but often hilarious spoof.

    Bait
    One of those thriller-comedy combos that never get the balance quite right.

    Darkness Falls
    Darkness Falls was formerly known as "Tooth Fairy," but could just as well have been titled "Dumb Then Dumber" for the way its plot makes decreasing sense even by the low standards of B horror flicks.

    Finding Forrester
    It feels less predictable and derivative than it is, thanks to Gus Van Sant's deft direction and two fine central performances.

    U-571
    A formulaic and predictable movie that combines minimal characterization with some irritating implausibility.

    The Golden Bowl
    But it is Thurman who stands out, with a marvelous, full-blooded performance, her best in some time, as tragic Charlotte.

    American Desi
    Despite some genuinely funny scenes, American Desi turns out to be inferior to the as yet unreleased "ABCD" and even last year's "Chutney Popcorn."

    Mumford
    A crowd-pleasing ensemble piece, whose story goes exactly where you want it to.

    Train of Life
    A misguided exercise - a crude merger of "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Schindler's List" that somehow reminds you of "Hogan's Heroes."

    Ararat
    Egoyan treats the Armenian genocide and its aftermath as a metaphor for cruelty and denial -- an exercise in either pretension or timidity that exploits this tragedy.

    Zoolander
    Fluffy, inconsistent, but enjoyable.

    Crazy/Beautiful
    Courageous, convincing performance by Dunst.

    Ice Age
    Almost everything about Ice Age proves to be disappointingly generic.
