    Empire Records
    A soundtrack in search of a movie, Empire Records is one teen-music effort that never finds a groove.

    Suddenly Naked
    Well-acted, sharp-looking pic seems more interested in sitcom diversions.

    The Trigger Effect
    David Koepp's writing-helming bow is a bleak, highly stylized view of modern civilization. While The Trigger Effect maintains a potent mood of postmodern dread, even its proponents will be wondering what all the queasy fuss was about.

    Sordid Lives
    When Sordid Lives does what it does best -- showing Southern gals in the full flight of rabid self-denial -- it's as screamingly funny as this subgenre can get.

    Hidden in Plain Sight
    A relentless excoriation of the School of the Americas.

    The Anarchist Cookbook
    An ill-conceived effort that starts OK but quickly goes off the rails.

    The Young Black Stallion
    A visually opulent but dramatically undernourished prequel to the 1979 hit of almost the same name.
