    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.

    Moulin Rouge!
    It's the kind of flourish that makes you smile -- that makes you believe in the power of movies.

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

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

    The Closet
    Has a blithe tone and a capable cast, but Veber's script is 100 percent laugh-free.

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

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

    Nora
    Like "Pollock," Nora is a convincing portrait of the intersection between creative genius and crazy, all-consuming love.

    Smiling Fish & Goat on Fire
    Strives for folksy charm but ends up just lying there like a plate of kippers.

    Love & Sex
    Love & Sex is nothing but pain and suffering.
    • 18 Metascore
    • 25 Kevin Maynard
    Turn It Up
    A vanity vehicle for the dubious acting talents of Pras.

    Splendor
    There's nothing remotely bizarre about this boy meets girl meets boy tale.
    • 71 Metascore

    Requiem for a Dream
    Never the heart-wrenching emotional experience it seems intended to be.

    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.

    Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
    This is nothing more than a bare-assed fart in the face of Smith's fans.

    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.

    Molly
    It's a sugar rush that'll leave you feeling like a rotten cavity.

    Come Undone
    Come Undone is the quintessential gay date at the art house.

    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.

    Saving Silverman
    Black, who is creatively marooned in the thankless Chris Farley fat-boy role, deserve better, and so do we.

    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.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 52 Kevin Maynard
    Just Looking
    At best a vaguely Semitic episode of "The Wonder Years."

    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.

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

    • 62 Metascore

    Pop & Me
    A satisfying, sentimental trip.
