    Time and Tide
    A lyrical, exciting adrenaline rush.
    • 56 Metascore

    A Knight's Tale
    Though the picture is definitely flawed, it maintains a joie de vivre that's surprisingly refreshing.
    • 52 Metascore

    Rat Race
    Rat Race isn't a stupid movie -- it's an aggressively stupid movie that journeys into realms of absurdity that are, well, aggressively funny.

    Bring It On
    The newest, and probably first, true cheerleading movie.

    Nico and Dani
    Delivers the oft-trod subject of boys' sexuality with intelligence and freshness.

    Crazy/Beautiful
    Really a vehicle for Dunst, which would be fine if only the vehicle were more inspired.

    Goya in Bordeaux
    Plods and frustrates, but forgivably, it is a deeply felt picture.

    The Anniversary Party
    For all its superfluous and self-conscious moments, the picture is a draining kick.

    E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
    It's a fascinating look into what Spielberg truly loves, but it's not so much a masterpiece as a nice milestone. [2002 re-release]

    Legally Blonde
    Alas, the movie just isn't bouncy, fresh or funny enough. It's just not blonde enough.
    • 82 Metascore

    Late Marriage
    Doesn't give off the same happy feel of the Indian arranged-marriage movie "Monsoon Wedding." Rather, it poses hard questions and leaves them unanswered.

    Big Eden
    Entertaining, well-acted and hopeful about a world in which sexual orientation isn't a big deal, Big Eden is a pretty picture -- it just tends to be a little too perfect and cute for its own good.

    • 91 Kim Morgan
    Liam
    It's almost numbingly sad, but you won't regret watching -- and you'll surely never forget it.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 100 Kim Morgan
    Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
    The best-looking, best-scripted and funniest of Smith's pictures, it's also Smith's sharpest.
    • 57 Metascore

    Master of the Flying Guillotine (re-release)
    Simultaneously modern and yet gorgeously primitive with its budget sets and simple but influential score, this is not just a film re-release but a film event.
    • 61 Metascore

    The Count of Monte Cristo
    Utterly thrilling and enthralling, a commercial film that paces itself wonderfully, never allowing the action or romance to outweigh its story and characters. For mainstream adventure fare, that's quite an accomplishment.

    Pola X
    A tough picture to wrap your brain around.

    Sweet Smell of Success (re-release)
    Can a film so expertly capture the odious and bitter that it becomes deliciously, disgustingly beautiful? Yes, if that film is 1957's Sweet Smell of Success.

    Finding Forrester
    Finding Forrester achieves a distinct success few Hollywood movies can even dream of: It overwhelms and inspires with understatement.

    xXx
    It's too ridiculous, too flatly acted, too action-packed, too, well, fun.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Kim Morgan
    Together
    Though moving, Together needed more opera to send us where great music frequently goes -- nearly over the edge.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 83 Kim Morgan
    Spy Game
    There's more to this movie. Like Pitt at his best, it's pretty, gritty, engrossing and fun.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Kim Morgan
    Madadayo
    Little spectacle but much bittersweet sensitivity.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Kim Morgan
    Shower
    A lovely film that requires a leisurely sit to think, Shower is not so much a shower as a bath, and a refreshing one at that.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 75 Kim Morgan
    Titan A.E.
    An impressive array of themes, stories and sequences.
    • 83 Metascore

    Adaptation.
    You have to experience the thing to understand its simultaneous recklessness and care, its humor and sadness in the name of failure, its playful but dismal take on formulaic Hollywood endings.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 91 Kim Morgan
    L.I.E.
    An achievement of accomplished filmmaking and superb acting, L.I.E. puts you in the tough spot of unraveling how you feel about what you've viewed.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 83 Kim Morgan
    Lan Yu
    This is a beautiful, moving picture about a love affair between two very different Chinese men.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 83 Kim Morgan
    Cure
    Takes the typical detective-hunting-a-serial-killer story and twists it into a creepy, enigmatic bit of psychological terror that by its final ambiguous scene leaves you truly chilled.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 91 Kim Morgan
    A Time for Drunken Horses
    A profoundly anxious picture that from its first frame holds you, clenched, never able to let go, even after its unresolved coda.
