    A Map of the World
    Worth navigating for its refusal to play to the crowd. There's certainly nothing safe or sweet about Weaver's performance.

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

    Tigerland
    The entire ensemble is first-rate.

    Trolösa
    Faithless, filmed mostly during Sweden's endless winter, will chill you to the bone.

    Music of the Heart
    The year's first sure-fire Oscar nominee has arrived with flying colors.

    The Best Man
    Contains more than a handful of big laughs and a highly charismatic cast that knows how to put them over.

    B. Monkey
    An entertaining but insubstantial romantic thriller loaded with Euro-chic trappings and no small amount of sex appeal.

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

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

    Love & Basketball
    It's a tad too generic to be a slam dunk.

    Happy, Texas
    Zahn's dazed and confused, droopy-mustached dude steals every scene he's in...a movie that will make you smile and put a lump in your throat.

    The Tao of Steve
    A charming movie.

    Beefcake
    Tries to have it both ways -- as a kitschy ode to bodybuilding culture and as a tragic story of a man who was persecuted for his dreams.

    The Big Tease
    Crawford's such a good-hearted guy, you can't help but want a cut from his clippers.

    Saving Grace
    After an uproarious first half, Saving Grace arrives at its conclusion somewhat hastily and conveniently.

    Animal Factory
    A genre-busting film that deserves to be seen.

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

    Mission: Impossible II
    Strangely, what it most lacks is the genuine tension found in the first "Mission"'s signature set pieces.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 74 Kevin Maynard
    High Fidelity
    Even if it sometimes skips, it's consistently wittier and more idiosyncratic that most studio movies.

    Crazy in Alabama
    Banderas may have been crazy to make such a heady directorial debut, but it's hard not to be charmed by his ambitions.

    Anywhere But Here
    You could do a lot worse than spend two hours in the company of two such talented actresses.

    Proof of Life
    Proof of Life won't hold your heart hostage for very long after it's over, but here's looking at Russell Crowe -- he's the real deal, sweetheart.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 73 Kevin Maynard
    Restaurant
    Juggles a few too many subplots, cramming in more issues than your average nightly newscast. But more often than not, this is a film to savor.

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

    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.

    Pop & Me
    A satisfying, sentimental trip.

    Non-Stop
    All this artful violence won't change your life, but Non-Stop is a satisfying quickie.

    Praise
    Praise will get under your skin.

    Nico and Dani
    Nico and Dani merely retells a not uncommon tale without significantly enriching it. It's just too familiar to play as poignantly as it would like to.

    The Dish
    A disarming helping of Capra-esque corn served up by writer-director Rob Sitch.
