    Sweet November
    This is one of those movies in which there are only two types of people: officious yuppie pricks, and the beautiful folks who stop and smell the daisies. What keeps it (barely) from being completely intolerable is Keanu Reeves' hilariously awful lead performance.

    Backstage
    On the whole, this documentary is best-suited to hardcore fans.

    My Dog Skip
    It plays out like an endless series of scenes we've seen before.

    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.

    Poor White Trash
    I'd rather go on an all-Crisco diet than sit through Poor White Trash again.

    Superstar
    Considerably less fun than a marathon of Star Search episodes.

    South of Heaven, West of Hell
    A miserable western that is clearly headed downward toward the latter destination.

    The Opportunists
    It's amiable enough, but the only real opportunity here is to see Walken step out of the shadows.

    Series 7: The Contenders
    Smith and Fitzgerald are funny, feisty, poignant, and altogether realistic. Will they end up lovers, friends, side-by-side corpses? Their sharp performances make Series 7 as frighteningly addictive as crack, or even "Survivor."

    An American Rhapsody
    Its emotional sweep is ultimately undercut by murky characterizations and generic plotting.

    The Bachelor
    Hellish matrimonial misfire.

    The Vertical Ray of the Sun
    If you're looking for refuge from summer movie bombast, it's frequently intoxicating.

    Chopper
    This fictionalized, frequently stomach-churning biography of Australian criminal Mark Chopper Read features the most bloody ear-severing scene since "Reservoir Dogs."

    Pleasantville
    Offers effortless charm, wit, and originality in spades.

    A charming movie.

    Universal Soldier: The Return
    Engagingly silly sub-"Moonlighting"-style banter.

    Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
    A fitting tribute to these displaced children because it so simply and elegantly personalizes their place in the most horrific chapter of 20th-century history.

    American Outlaws
    Should be shot at sunrise. Or strung up by the neck from a tall tree. Or at least run out of town by a big posse.

    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.

    A Room for Romeo Brass
    The most poignant (if hard-hitting) depiction of childhood to show up this year.

    Wonder Boys
    This is certainly the best studio movie of the new year to date, and Douglas might even be remembered at next year's Oscars.

    Sunset Strip
    Has its funky charms.

    Black and White
    An audacious but underconceived blend of fiction and documentary that questions the idea of race and identity in America.

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

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

    Titanic Town
    Director Roger Michell ("Persuasion," "Notting Hill") has made his finest film to date.

    Chill Factor
    Skeet Ulrich continues to disappoint in one high-profile project after another.

    Quills
    A literate, dialogue-driven treat delivered by a cast that truly savors the script's wicked wit.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 12 Kevin Maynard
    Final Destination
    Crude and witless.

    Guinevere
    As talented as Polley proved herself in "The Sweet Hereafter" and "Go," this is her best work yet.
