    Intelligently written, sharply directed, and beautifully played.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Calle 54

    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.

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

    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.

    Toy Story 2
    A technologically marvelous animated movie that's just as funny and inventive as the first, but also more emotionally engaging than most live-action films. This is clearly a sequel in name only.

    Dr T and the Women
    A jauntily entertaining ride.

    Riding in Cars with Boys
    It's Zahn's heartbreaking performance that drives Riding in Cars with Boys.

    Signs & Wonders
    Offers up keys and cakes and plunges its characters down a deep rabbit hole.

    Bread and Roses
    The film is never less than a satisfying mix of compelling entertainment and social critique. The performances are uniformly superb.

    The House of Mirth
    How well you respond to this handsomely mounted, cold-blooded tragedy will depend on your feelings toward Gillian Anderson's highly theatrical lead performance.

    Intimacy
    A new version of the greatest psychological mystery of all: love.

    Mission: Impossible II
    Strangely, what it most lacks is the genuine tension found in the first "Mission"'s signature set pieces.

    You Can Count on Me
    It's the sum of things not spoken, things too painful to express, that's the heart of this quietly moving drama.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Maynard
    Ghost World
    The results are both savagely funny and poignant for anyone who's ever had a friendship that felt like their only connection to the outside world.

    Traffic
    Traffic is a riveting, semi-documentary drama, and yet calling it that is a disservice to just how suspenseful and stylish an entertainment it is.

    Bring It On
    Reed's manic direction rarely lets up between show-stopping cheer numbers.

    Best Laid Plans
    Doesn't come close to the pulp beauty and complexity of classic noir.

    • 84 Metascore

    Together
    Together is unabashedly about people who need people. The film's satiric skewering of '70s liberalism works because it feels emotionally authentic.

    Pop & Me
    A satisfying, sentimental trip.
