    Collateral
    Ruffalo makes a dent as a dogged narcotics detective, and the Spanish superstar Javier Bardem appears as a crime boss. Overall, however, Mann seems content to play games with his fast cars, cool streets, and loud rock, leaving Collateral squarely within the action genre.

    Latter Days
    The end of the film edges toward camp, and the sudden arrival of surreal dream sequences threatens to push it over the side. The movie is more sophisticated when it’s not trying to be complex.

    The Man
    Less a movie than a longform, live-action Celebrity Death Match between its leads, this wheezing comedy may herald the death knell of the interracial buddy-cop farce.

    Dig!
    There's a genuine sense of loss when dreams go unrealized, and in these moments Dig! transcends the typical "rock movie" format and aspires to something greater: an examination of why we create and what we receive from art.

    The Island
    If you like "Maxim," you will love The Island. It is glossy. It is expensive. It has lots of slick ads for Aquafina and Cadillac.

    Surf's Up
    There's nothing terribly wrong with Surf's Up, except maybe the part where one character calls another a "dirty trash can full of poop." But the movie isn't terribly robust, either.

    Shortbus
    The quest for sexual happiness is a radical notion in these repressive times, as well as a legitimate basis for storytelling, but Shortbus doesn't quite delve as deeply as it ought into its characters' emotions.

    Bartleby
    Comes across as stiff and uneven.

    God Grew Tired of Us
    More factual rigor wouldn't hurt, but directors Quinn and Walker delve instead into the lives of their subjects with a fly-on-the-wall candor, revealing as much about American life as they do of African life.

    Mail Order Wife
    The best surprise is Yuan, the daughter of Hong Kong actress Cheng Pei-Pei. She has great screen presence and invests Lichi with a mix of kitty-cat cuteness and hellcat ferocity.

    After Innocence
    There's also a little something smarmy about the interactions between the lawyers and their clients, all of whom are poor.

    Self Medicated
    A compelling small-scale drama, and Lapica is a talent to watch.

    You Kill Me
    Cuddlier and more charming, this alcoholic-hitman comedy isn’t your typical Dahl noir (The Last Seduction, Red Rock West), but it is offbeat, lovably deadpan, and just tart enough.

    Chicken Little
    It is funny at times – the teams for dodgeball break down into "popular" and "unpopular" – but Chicken Little is painful to watch for all ages.

    The Gospel
    Tamyra, Tamyra, Tamyra. I didn't recognize you at first!

    Sketches of Frank Gehry
    The film has lovely moments – Gehry buildings can be extremely photogenic, after all – but it doesn't sink its teeth in the way it probably should.

    The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green
    There's just not enough real heart to go along with the cutesiness.

    Color Me Kubrick
    A playground for Malkovich – enjoyable enough but not terribly deep.

    Mr. Bean's Vacation
    If you like the character – his tooty yellow Mini, his busily working beetlebrows, his tendency to point and grunt and eat shellfish whole – then you will be rewarded with 90 minutes of such.

    Funny Ha Ha
    Funny Ha Ha is often offhandedly funny, and Bujalski has a knack for letting scenes build and then cutting out abruptly, duplicating the flow of a life in flux.

    Mountain Patrol
    An intriguing export with crossover appeal.

    The Independent
    Goofily funny, oddly tenderhearted mock-documentary.

    Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns)
    Will likely test the patience of all but the most devoted fans.

    Step Up
    This could be a pilot for the WB. Hollywood choreographer Fletcher makes the jump behind the camera but displays a greater aplomb for staging than drama, and the movie is as fleeting as the last weekend of summer.

    Jesus Camp
    It's a call to arms, a call to pick sides in the deepening cultural, political, and spiritual schism between the two Americas of the 21st century.

    Slackers
    A singularly distasteful campus romp.
    • 69 Metascore

    Tears of the Black Tiger
    If Tears is indeed too weird to take America by storm – Miramax bought the film after Cannes and shelved it until it is now being released by Magnolia – it should neither be considered a cult item, approachable only to film nerds (though they will appreciate it best).

    Akeelah and the Bee
    It is a rewarding tale for public educators, parents, and kids with big dreams.

    Gloomy Sunday
    Moments of black comedy break up the melodrama – a newsreel depicts the song's "victims" and a Nazi secretary rages against her Duden grammar manual – but the overall tone is still that of a four-alarm weeper.

    Dark Blue World
    The film is more of an old-school wartime yarn, crackling with the expected camaraderie among the hardscrabble volunteers.
