    Just Looking
    At best a vaguely Semitic episode of "The Wonder Years."

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

    A.I. Artificial Intelligence
    Actually, it's a childhood "A Clockwork Orange," a reverent realization of the late Stanley Kubrick's final obsession.

    A Room for Romeo Brass
    The most poignant (if hard-hitting) depiction of childhood to show up this year.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 68 Kevin Maynard
    Lies
    A witty, if overextended, take on pornography.

    The Sixth Sense
    The biggest piece of supernatural hooey since estranged wife Demi Moore's "The Seventh Sign."

    Dr T and the Women
    A jauntily entertaining ride.

    About Adam
    Simply a pleasant diversion rather the paean to crazy-in-love classics it would so like to be.

    Grateful Dawg
    Ultimately, Grateful Dawg will only be of real interest to musicology students and diehard Deadheads.

    Better Than Sex
    This predictable romantic comedy outing has occasional flickers of ingenuity.

    Cradle Will Rock
    Even if the great debate that pits artistic integrity against corporate compromise doesn't thrill you, see Cradle Will Rock anyway. It's marvelous, provocative entertainment; art for art's sake.

    Vengo
    All that this really amounts to is a lot of hot-headed, hairy men threatening each other -- whenever they're not dancing on table tops, that is.

    The Wolves of Kromer
    A bit too bloodless to howl about.

    Thomas in Love
    Too poignant and funny to be dismissed.

    The Adventures of Felix
    Optimistically explores how vastly different people can come together, and how any journey is more about what happens along the way than simply getting from one place to another.

    Petits frères
    This one's still worth checking out -- especially for the naturalistic performances by the feisty Touly and the rest of the young cast.

    Sugar Town
    There's lots of sweet music to savor in this snide industry satire.

    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.

    Outside Providence
    Plays like mediocre outtakes from better bell-bottomed fare (Richard Linklater's authentic, seriocomic "Dazed and Confused"; Fox's "That '70s Show") without making any kind of impression of its own.

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

    Pop & Me
    A satisfying, sentimental trip.

    American History X
    American History X is a crash course on how to make a message movie that resonates with crackling power.

    The Claim
    Despite the film's impressively epic look and an interesting cast of young and old actors, it ringingly sounds the same dour note over and over again.

    The Golden Bowl
    A meticulously mounted film that retains the author's ambiguous characterizations yet is still emotionally accessible.

    Mumford
    Despite impeccable performances, this is bloodless, ho-hum stuff.

    • 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.

    Zoolander
    Basically one elaborate joke about male modeling and all the vanity, emasculation, and fatuousness that attend it. Fortunately, it's a good joke.

    Get Bruce
    A hilarious and utterly faboo documentary...you'll be begging for more.

    Stuart Little
    A bright, lively picture.

    One
    Too much of a study in formalism to register deeply on an emotional level.
