    The Astronaut's Wife
    Houston, we have a problem. It's called The Astronaut's Wife and it's an utterly predictable rip-off of classic '60s and '70s exercises in paranoia, from "Rosemary's Baby" to "The Parallax View."

    Don't Say a Word
    This is nothing more than one more run-of-the-mill, surprise-free, suspense programmer.

    The Story of Us
    This is a second-rate Woody Allen midlife crisis comedy without the laughs.

    Steal This Movie
    Never better than middling, despite its best intentions.

    Body Shots
    Plays out like a raunchy, substandard WB soap.

    Bounce: Behind the Velvet Rope
    All of the interviewees are compelling, whether proudly showing off bruises and bullet holes from on-the-job scuffles, or voicing their opinions about how the profession has changed.

    Captain Corelli's Mandolin
    Good old-fashioned romantic entertainment, just restrained enough to skirt schmaltz.

    Love's Labour's Lost
    A trifle of a farce fashioned into a '30s musical that gaily trips as much as it lightly skips, but nonetheless marks a welcome return to form.

    Teaching Mrs. Tingle
    Wholly predictable and implausible plotting, thin characterizations, and stilted dialogue.

    Bride of the Wind
    Slow as a funeral dirge, the movie's all talk about art and passion and obsession without anything to show for it.

    Loser
    Along the way, we end up losing patience with our couple-to-be because they seem too smart to endure the indignities ceaselessly heaped on them.

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

    Mission to Mars
    As intriguing as the premise sounds, Mission to Mars hasn't a single moment of real suspense.

    On the Line
    The only reason to sit through On the Line is for some entertaining, if fleeting, musical moments.

    End of Days
    Such a witless, bombastic, by-the-numbers hunk of millennial hooey it made me nostalgic for Commando. This one throws in every hoary hellfire cliché.

    Isn't She Great
    A watery cocktail of second-rate, Ab Fab-style bitchery and shameless schmaltz.

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

    Kill Me Later
    About Lustig's direction. Badly employing all kinds of tricks like alternating film speed, jump cuts, and various color tints, she ultimately overpowers her actors and does in her own film.

    Town & Country
    It's "Shampoo," 30 years after. What a surprise, then, that this effort ranks lower even than the Steve Martin remake of "The Out-of-Towners."

    Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
    Game boys and girls will be disappointed by this fast-paced but shockingly dull adaptation.

    Loving Jezebel
    Captures the embarrassment of foreplay, but it could use a few lessons in the art of seduction

    Chill Factor
    Skeet Ulrich continues to disappoint in one high-profile project after another.

    The Wedding Planner
    The film's greatest flaw is its miscast leads, who conjure up zero dewy-eyed, wish-fulfillment magic.

    Sunset Strip
    Has its funky charms.

    I Dreamed of Africa
    Why waste the price of a movie ticket when you can see wildebeests cavorting for free from the comfort of your own recliner?

    Someone Like You...
    Starts as light, fluffy fun but becomes so blithely preposterous that it ceases to exist.

    Gossip
    For all its pretense of critiquing our tabloid culture, it amounts to much ado about nothing.

    The Weekend
    It's a coffee-table movie, but what saves it are a couple of performances.Rowlands puts a spin on every line reading, Harris quietly mines regret, and Shields, assured and sexy, has never been this good.

    The Bachelor
    Hellish matrimonial misfire.

    The Amati Girls
    The movie is as schmaltzy as I'd feared, and yet De Salvo does elicit some nice performances from her ensemble cast.
