    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.

    Passion of Mind
    Works best as romantic melodrama and is least convincing as a psychological suspenser.

    Amores Perros
    Though unflinching in its savagery, Amores Perros is always compulsive viewing.

    Snatch.
    Though far from a sophomore slump, Snatch, like "Smoking Barrels," is such a grab bag of other influences that it's tough to figure out what, if anything, about Ritchie's style is uniquely his own.

    The Amati Girls
    The movie is as schmaltzy as I'd feared, and yet De Salvo does elicit some nice performances from her ensemble cast.

    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.

    Bride of the Wind
    Slow as a funeral dirge, the movie's all talk about art and passion and obsession without anything to show for it.

    Titan A.E.
    What ultimately keeps Titan A.E. from taking off is an ordinary script.

    The Filth and the Fury
    There are only a handful of great music documentaries ... but Temple's film deserves a place in the canon.

    Beautiful People
    Though frequently brutal and off-putting, Beautiful People is a must-see.

    Restless
    The film's title accurately captures the sensation of sitting through it -- stay home.

    Born Romantic
    Born Romantic feels less like it was born than assembled, in a kooky Britcom factory. It's no "Four Weddings and a Funeral," but it's certainly a happier conception than last month's "Maybe Baby."

    Josie and the Pussycats
    Dippy, funny, and fast-paced enough to be a guilty pleasure.

    What Women Want
    As classic romantic comedy goes, it ain't no "Tootsie."

    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.

    Double Take
    Who the heck green-lit this garbage heap anyway?

    All Over the Guy
    While both leads are appealing enough, it's the stuff on the sidelines that keeps All Over the Guy entertaining.

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

    Hannibal
    Every frame of Scott's film is gorgeously lurid and baroque, but it just hangs there like bad art, even during the gore-spilling, Grand Guignol climax.

    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.

    End of Days
    Such a witless, bombastic, by-the-numbers hunk of millennial hooey it made me nostalgic for Commando. This one throws in every hoary hellfire cliché.

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