    Sorority Boys
    Unoriginal but effective raunchy drag comedy.
    • 31 Metascore
    • 25 Jonathan Foreman
    Lucky Numbers
    As lifeless and unfunny as a corpse on a slab.

    Not One Less
    A sweet, lushly photographed but occasionally slow film.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    The Guru
    It's a film pregnant with comic possibility that ought to be much funnier than it is.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 63 Jonathan Foreman
    The Dream Catcher
    Ed Radtke's film-fest favorite does at least boast some fine acting, excellent photography and an authentic feel for life on the highway.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Jonathan Foreman
    The Human Stain
    Though Human Stain is sometimes too chaotic and sometimes too neat, it boasts some of the best acting of the year.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    EuroTrip
    A lazy and uninspired knock-off of the hilarious 2002 movie "Road Trip."
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    The King Is Alive
    Tendency to pretentiousness.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Jonathan Foreman
    Sugar Town
    A real pleasure, a sweet, funny, ensemble comedy...utterly authentic.
    • 21 Metascore
    • 25 Jonathan Foreman
    The Order
    The screenplay is packed with so many hilariously bad lines (it's hard to believe that writer-director Helgeland won an Oscar for co-writing "L.A. Confidential") that the movie would be perfect material for a resurrected version of the TV spoof "Mystery Science Theater."

    Gosford Park
    It ranks among Robert Altman's best work ever, and that its many satisfactions derive in large part from a superbly written screenplay by Julian Fellowes that has no equal this year.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    The Simian Line
    One of those exercises in romantic whimsy that misses its mark: It's alternately sappy and uncomfortably harsh.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 75 Jonathan Foreman
    Songcatcher
    Essential viewing for anyone who cares about American popular music and its roots.
    • New York Post

    Jing Ke ci Qin Wang
    Meanders along in a confused, confusing way for what feels like hours.

    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    Alma
    The documentary equivalent of a Southern Gothic novel.
    • 14 Metascore
    • 25 Jonathan Foreman
    The In Crowd
    A laughably bad B-thriller.
    • New York Post
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    Jeepers Creepers
    The first half-hour of Jeepers Creepers is so frightening that it's almost a relief when the movie subsequently collapses into silliness.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life
    Its faults -- banal dialogue, ludicrous and uninspired plotting, dull but vicious fight scenes -- make you realize just how much the summer action movie has declined in the last few years.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 63 Jonathan Foreman
    Girl, Interrupted
    It's an odd mixture of an unsentimental, darkly humorous take on mental illness with the usual Hollywood loony-bin cliches.
    • New York Post
    • 52 Metascore
    • 63 Jonathan Foreman
    The Mothman Prophecies
    As the plot loses steam, director Mark Pellington (whose paranoid thriller "Arlington Road" was one of the worst movies of 1999) tends to rely on cheap tricks to maintain suspense, although the final catastrophe is very nicely done.

    13 Going on 30
    The filmmakers have an pleasurably accurate sense of the embarrassments that darken early adolescence and of the amazing cruelty of teenage girls.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    Where the Heart Is
    Hard-core chick shlock, weakened by odd shifts in tone and a slack pace, but elevated by a luminous performance by Natalie Portman.
    • 20 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    Corky Romano
    This is a lazy, careless film that feels strangely unfinished.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Jonathan Foreman
    Nurse Betty
    This oddly cheerful, decreasingly dark comedy actually works and can boast some of the most enjoyable performances of the year.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 63 Jonathan Foreman
    Starsky & Hutch
    Its abundant laughs are heavily reliant on the chemistry of stars Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson - who show once again that they're as fine a comic team as Hollywood has ever produced.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 63 Jonathan Foreman
    Vénus beauté (institut)
    Slight but entertaining and occasionally touching.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 88 Jonathan Foreman
    The Filth and the Fury
    This bizarre, original and brilliantly crafted documentary about the Sex Pistols is funny and at times moving -- despite all the ugliness and stupidity it depicts.
    • New York Post
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    Tell Me Something
    Familiar and predictable enough, especially if you have seen Hollywood serial-killer thrillers like "Se7en."
    • 47 Metascore
    • 12 Jonathan Foreman
    The Disappearance of Finbar
    Part of the problem is that the Finbar character is both underdeveloped and unattractive - you don't get a sense of why anyone would miss him, let alone go searching for him in the snow. [17 Mar 2000]

    • 65 Metascore

    Sex and Lucia
    If you're starved for on-screen nudity and sex garnished with art-film trappings -- The price you'll pay is putting up with the director's relentless Euro-pretension, manifested in a tediously contrived plot crammed with absurd coincidences, clunky symbolism and soap-operatic melodrama.
