    Double Jeopardy
    There are a few ingenious zig zags in its otherwise by-the-numbers plot...but what keeps you interested... is the sheer movie-star presence of the actors in the lead roles.

    Swiri
    The girl you see stabbing and shooting prisoners and fellow trainees makes the killer from "La Femme Nikita" look like a wuss.

    Such a Long Journey
    An unusually well-written and satisfying multilayered drama that conveys the feel of urban India with more vivid accuracy than anything made in the subcontinent in recent years.

    Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy
    It's a lumpy and disorganized film that remains unsatisfying, perhaps because the fundamental oddness of having sex in public for money as a way of life remains just as mysterious at the end of the film as in the beginning.

    Let It Snow
    James' character is a charmless, boring lump and it's very hard to care if he gets the girl or not.

    Dude, Where's My Car?
    An almost chuckle-free mess, so amateurish and lame that the cast often has that embarrassed look you see on dogs given ridiculous haircuts.

    American Pie
    Vulgar and lewd and raunchy like you wouldn't believe, and absolutely hilarious from beginning to end.

    Beautiful People
    Inside Beautiful People, . . . there's a terrific film trying to get out.

    John Q
    Not a movie but a live-action agitprop cartoon so shameless and coarse, it's almost funny.

    Cold Creek Manor
    Richard Jeffries' script tosses together bits of plot borrowed from such "bad things happen when you leave the city" classics as "Straw Dogs" and "Deliverance" without any awareness of how or why genre conventions work.

    Planet of the Apes
    The marvelous Burtonic gothic/nightmare production design -- scenery, weaponry, costumes, etc. constantly pleases the eye without ever distracting you from the plot.

    Backstage
    There are times when the urban dialect is so thick, you wish the film came with subtitles.

    Sweet Home Alabama
    It's only when you're leaving the theater that her spell wears off and you realize just how bad the movie, directed by Andy Tennant, really is.

    Life and Debt
    Self-righteous, economically illiterate and sometimes flatly dishonest.

    Sleepy Hollow
    As a horror movie, even one inspired by the kitschy Hammer horror films of the 1950s, it's disappointing.

    Ghosts of Mars
    A deep disappointment to fans of sci-fi and the once great John Carpenter.

    Princess Mononoke
    A visually stunning film.

    Twin Falls Idaho
    The whole film could use a jolt of caffeine, and a lugubrious woodwind score doesn't help.

    Crimson Gold
    Crimson Gold has been likened to an Iranian "Taxi Driver," but it's nothing of the sort, though it is powerful in a quiet, minimalist way.

    Dog Park
    A slack-paced, surprisingly bland affair, filled with jokes that sound like they should be funny but aren't.

    Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV
    Laughs are few and far between, and the film feels brutally long.

    Code Unknown: Incomplete Tales of Several Journeys
    The thing that makes Haneke’s Code Unknown so enjoyable and effective is that that he says it in such a wonderfully restrained and light-handed yet suspenseful way.

    Love & Basketball
    Strong cast is defeated by a labored, screenplay in this overlong, clunky love story.

    The Santa Clause 2
    There's not a moment in it that feels fresh or authentic or inspired. But neither is it offensive.

    Not Another Teen Movie
    Toomuch of the humor in Not Another Teen Movie is either lame (the school in the movie is called "John Hughes High") or lamely disgusting.

    Dinner Rush
    A witty, well-acted, visually gorgeous ensemble drama.

    Eight Legged Freaks
    Indeed, for all its jokiness, this isn't the film for anyone who suffers from even the mildest fear of ugly, scuttling, jumping creatures with spindly, furry legs that have a habit of hiding in your shoes.

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

    Valentin
    Sweet, often poignant little film.

    Friday After Next
    Bedeviled by labored writing and slack direction.
