    Joe Dirt
    Spade, who almost invariably plays smug or smarmy characters, proves he really can act.

    Digimon: Digital Monsters
    A frenzied, cacophonic cartoon.

    The Cat in the Hat
    As a British politician said of a corrupt but articulate peer, "The Cat in the Hat" is like a rotten mackerel seen by moonlight: It shines as it stinks.

    Underclassman
    Utterly generic.

    Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever
    Zomboid, convoluted excuse for a thriller is among year's worst.

    Gigli
    After five minutes, Christopher Walken vanishes. We wait vainly for the next 90 minutes for someone, anyone to bring that kind of danger, unpredictability and vitality to a story as drab as army fatigues.

    Serving Sara
    Let me say, in my desire always to be positive, that Serving Sara is the funniest film I know where a man sticks his arm up a bull's rectum to massage its prostate.

    Bless the Child
    The movie is somewhat below average. The plot doesn't always hold together.

    Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    The assault is against our ears, as the soundtrack pours forth a stream of thrash and Goth music.

    Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000
    It's bombastic, chaotic, plodding, visually dreary and patchily written.

    Alone in the Dark
    Slater narrates as if reading a restaurant menu. Reid seems to have learned each long sentence in segments, so she wouldn't be overtaxed.

    Billy: The Early Years
    The film, which covers Graham's life roughly from the ages of 16 to 30, presents us with characters so uncomplicated they belong in a pop-up book.

    Providence
    As you get into the flow of the narrative, and the strangeness of hearing no dialogue recedes, the movie becomes a rewarding experience.

    The Fight Within
    Director Michael William Gordon and writer Jim Davis give us a hopeful feeling about Logan without insisting on solving all his problems – or insisting that God will solve them for him.
