    The Muse
    Brooks' least satisfying film in quite a while.

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

    Nurse Betty
    Badly photographed, clumsily edited, and lacking any discernable cinematic style.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 68 Kevin Maynard
    Lies
    A witty, if overextended, take on pornography.

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

    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.

    Songcatcher
    For the most part, it's when the women do the singing -- that Songcatcher really comes alive.

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

    American Pimp
    Never less than riveting.

    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 Gospel According to Philip K. Dick
    Duller-than-a-Vitalife-convention compilation of talking heads.

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

    Elizabeth
    This historical epic about the "virgin queen" of England's early life moves with the crackling urgency of a contemporary political thriller.

    Dinner Rush
    A funny, frenetic, and often quite touching microcosm of the Big Apple life itself, essayed by a pitch-perfect cast and boasting authentic urban flavors.

    Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
    Whenever Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon resorts to flying fists or soaring sword battles, the Force is definitely with it.

    Goya in Bordeaux
    Covers some bases, but it feels like the Cliffs Notes version of a grander epic.

    The Straight Story
    Lynch's faith in the kindness of human nature has been renewed, yet thankfully he's never maudlin. Instead, he wins over our emotions with the film's understated beauty.

    • 90 Kevin Maynard
    Rushmore
    It's the funniest, saddest performance of the year in a film of uncompromising wit and heart.
    • 79 Metascore

    Two Family House
    A sentimental slice of 1950s Italian-American life that doesn't soft-pedal its characters' simmering prejudices within their insulated community, or pander to their dreams of getting out.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 40 Kevin Maynard
    America's Sweethearts
    It's dull, two-dimensional, and totally toothless.

    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.

    Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
    Too often, the movie is more forced and frantic than actually funny.
    • 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.

    Julien Donkey-Boy
    Writer-director Harmony Korine seems more interested in churning your stomach than in warming your heart.
    • 28 Metascore

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

    • 66 Metascore

    The Tailor of Panama
    A fast, funny film that goes down like a cyanide-spiked piña colada.
    • 40 Metascore

    Speedway Junky
    Hard to watch -- not because of its unflinching realism, but rather for its mawkish reliance on every boy hooker flick from "Midnight Cowboy" to "Johns."
    • Mr. Showbiz
    • 59 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Maynard
    Onegin
    A riveting, unsentimental tragedy of unrequited love.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 40 Kevin Maynard
    Better Than Sex
    This predictable romantic comedy outing has occasional flickers of ingenuity.

    Charlie's Angels
    The movie's still thinner than a supermodel's waist. It's not just that the results are less than heavenly; it's that we don't know what the hell they are.
