    Heartbreakers
    Despite its talented and/or attractive cast, Heartbreakers is an ugly movie: The kind that makes you feel slightly soiled afterwards.

    The Trench
    There isn't a line you haven't heard or a stock character you haven't encountered before.

    The Quiet American
    It's a shame that, on top of everything else, the second movie version of The Quiet American -- Graham Greene's brilliant 1955 novel about the French Indochina war -- should be so visually disappointing.

    Wonder Boys
    The smartest movie to come out this year, and it could hardly be better cast.

    Bulletproof Monk
    Relentlessly stupid.

    The 6th Day
    This otherwise undistinguished thriller about cloning is the most entertaining movie from the aging action star for some time.

    Holy Smoke
    It lurches ineptly from lame comedy to hokey melodrama.

    The Low Down
    The whole thing is shot in an irritating, self-conscious way.

    Chicago
    For some reason, the people who make modern musicals don't like to let you watch dancers dance -- there are still too few moments when you get to enjoy choreography from a dancer's hands to her feet.

    Rock Star
    Easily one of the most enjoyable big-budget Hollywood movies to come along in a while, Rock Star is an unexpected pleasure.

    Fast Food Fast Women
    Despite a script that occasionally calls for some embarrassingly awkward lines, Kollek's cast generally acquits itself well.

    Taboo
    It's actually the surprisingly compelling plot and the often hilarious dialogue that keep you watching this tale of passion and murder in a Samurai militia unit - not the beautiful scenery or the elegant color palette.

    Massoud, the Afghan
    A unique, priceless portrait of the now legendary leader, and of his beautiful country when it was in the grip of a disastrous civil war.

    The Insider
    A beautifully shot, well-acted movie that manages to make a complicated, real-life story without much drama feel like a thriller.

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

    Someone Like You...
    Could hardly be more predictable.

    Games People Play: New York
    It isn't entirely clear if Games People Play is a spot-on but longwinded and excessively campy spoof of those TV "reality" game shows... or just a particularly ingenious and sleazy example of the genre.

    La bûche
    Engaging in a soap operatic, rather glib way.

    The Replacements
    Formulaic but surprisingly charming.

    What's Cooking?
    Lighthearted and smart enough to be one of the best Altmanesque ensemble comedies of the last couple of years.

    Stealing Harvard
    Stinks even by the standards of late summer movie garbage.

    Hamlet
    May well be the dullest and most pointless version ever filmed, thanks to a stunningly bad lead performance by Ethan Hawke.

    The 13th Warrior
    A deeply pleasurable, old-fashioned blood-'n'-guts adventure film.

    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 Piano Teacher
    Thanks to a superb performance by Isabelle Huppert, it's compulsively, gruesomely watchable.

    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.

    Juwanna Mann
    It's all so insincere, you can almost imagine the filmmakers rubbing their hands together at the prospect of ripping off the public.

    Malèna
    Too often seems like a slightly silly film.

    Plunkett & Macleane
    A noisy, amateurish mess that doesn't work on any level - an extended, clich-ridden MTV video set to anachronistic bad music.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 25 Jonathan Foreman
    The Woman Chaser
    It's a film noir spoof, replete with hard-boiled narration, lounge-music soundtrack and dramatic black-and-white photography.
