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

    The Luzhin Defence
    A punishing tragedy that could best be described as the anti-"Shine."

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

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

    Bully
    Oddly, Bully's only moments of power come at the film's end, after the crime takes place.

    Center Stage
    A big disappointment. It's toe-tappin' tripe aimed squarely at the undiscerning Britney Spears set.

    Just Visiting
    One more attempt to pass off chopped liver as foie gras.

    America's Sweethearts
    It's dull, two-dimensional, and totally toothless.

    Drop Dead Gorgeous
    A mockumentary about small-town beauty pageants that's so confidently unfunny it's DOA.

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

    Maybe Baby
    This one's all labor pains, and, in the end, nothing gets delivered.

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

    Evolution
    Reitman has truly lost his gift for comic rhythms, cluttering up the film with running yuks that aren't that funny the first time and certainly don't improve with repetition.

    Rock Star
    By the time Rock Star reaches its cop-out, "All About Eve"-ish ending, the only thrashing that should be going on is of the filmmakers, for bungling such a promising premise.

    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 King Is Alive
    The most obvious casualty ends up being Jennifer Jason Leigh, an actress known for her fearless choices, who is literally pissed on for her trouble.

    Cats & Dogs
    A matted hairball of a kiddie flick that's alternately maudlin and slapstickishly violent.

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

    The Center of the World
    Offers nothing but tired "Red Shoe" Diaries-style sexploitation for the art-house crowd.

    Focus
    Relevant message aside, there's no good reason to sit through photographer Neal Slavin's directorial debut.

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

    Fat Girl
    It's all well-acted and eerily compelling, but the shocker ending is patently implausible.

    Legally Blonde
    That's just not enough to recommend it, though it does have one moment of real justice: The person sentenced to jail has truly bad hair.
