    The Legend of 1900
    It's a wonderful reminder of the importance of music in the movies.

    Good Will Hunting
    Intelligently written, sharply directed, and beautifully played.

    Keeping the Faith
    Works so hard at being pleasant and ingratiating that it wears out its welcome.

    Barenaked in America
    At their trenchant, tuneful best, the Barenaked Ladies take flip comic spins on serious subjects (alcoholism, heartbreak). But offstage, they have nothing of substance to reveal.

    Osmosis Jones
    The flat, gross-out live-action bits, directed by (surprise!) Peter and Bobby Farrelly, don't jive with the zippy, Tex Avery-style animated segments, directed by former storyboard artists Piet Kroon and Tom Sito.

    All About My Mother
    The most heartfelt tribute to women -- specifically, actresses -- he's (Almodovar) ever made.

    In Too Deep
    A gritty, well-acted urban drama with lots of humanity.

    Pay It Forward
    Despite being full of Oscar-winning talent, this is still just a better-dressed, drawn-out episode of "Touched by an Angel."

    Glamour
    As a snapshot of Hungarian history, Glamour's watchability trumps that of "Sunshine" — the droll absurdity of the former leaves a much deeper impression than the latter's bruising moralism.

    Just One Time
    Features a sexy, appealing cast, especially Guillermo Diaz.

    One Day in September
    Especially timely in light of the current escalation in Palestinian-Israeli aggressions, but this is one sad story that would pack a staggering punch in any political climate.

    Gun Shy
    Thanks to the first-time filmmaker's attention to character, Gun Shy is worth at least a shot at a matinee.

    Blue Moon
    Like its accordion-filled score, it's nothing but a golden moldie.

    42: Forty Two Up
    42 Up is filled with truth and poignancy as these people reflect on their first half of their lives, their goals, ambitions, and how they, for the most part, succeeded in reinventing them.

    Dog Park
    Populated with whiny, unappealing characters that are impossible to care about and flatly staged sitcomish set-pieces...this lame Canadian import's a real woofer.

    The Eyes of Tammy Faye
    All in all, she comes off as quite a complex creature.

    Calle 54
    A must-see for avid fans and a welcome primer for nascent hip-shakers everywhere.

    Romeo Must Die
    Li's light touch and explosive fighting skills deserve a better vehicle than this overcooked pot of New Jack suey.

    The Glass House
    Psychological thrillers depend on convincing audiences to suspend disbelief, but this one doesn't manage that for a moment.

    Startup.com
    The film ends with a surprisingly upbeat coda. But Startup.com leaves us with a sense that our heroes' idealism will be forever lost.

    Corky Romano
    Frankly, there wouldn't have been enough shtick here to warrant an SNL skit. And if the material isn't even up to those standards, then who the hell green-lit it as a feature?

    Drive Me Crazy
    The appealing cast makes the most of the derivative story.

    The In Crowd
    This is sub-par Aaron Spelling sludge all the way.

    Bridget Jones's Diary
    What's right as rain with Diary is the casting.

    High Heels and Low Lifes
    An enjoyable female buddy caper -- more "Outrageous Fortune" than "Thelma and Louise."

    O
    Too much of a locker-room melodrama to make for great tragedy.

    The Million Dollar Hotel
    The film has an unabashed romantic tone that's matched by Wenders' usual flair for visual drama.

    Wonderland
    It's another subtle, fantastic performance from McKee ("Notting Hill," "Croupier").

    Liberty Heights
    A uniquely personal, vibrant mosaic of the American dream, and like a dream, it evaporates beautifully before our eyes.
    • 45 Metascore

    Life as a House
    There's really nothing more to this by-the-numbers, ailment-of-the-week fodder dressed up with a classy cast.
