    New York Minute
    In trying to straddle both the grown-up and kiddie worlds with this inappropriately sexualized effort - their first theatrical release since 1995's "It Takes Two" - the Olsens have lost their footing.

    Chance encounters and fated love are the stuff of fairy tales, which is what makes the deliriously romantic sequel Before Sunset a small miracle.

    Swimming Pool
    Along with co-writer Emmanuele Bernhein, Ozon...has crafted a contemplative blend of fantasy and reality that illuminates the mysteries of the creative process.

    This Thing of Ours
    It's not surprising that This Thing of Ours -- the title refers to the literal translation of La Cosa Nostra -- rings with authenticity and solid acting.

    City of God
    Like a bomb exploding in a fireworks factory: It's fierce and shocking and dazzling and wonderful.

    Lost in La Mancha
    When Gilliam is finally forced to admit defeat, it is nothing short of heartbreaking - for audiences, too, as the few shots that made it into the can hold such promise.

    Facing the Music
    Makes a powerful case against the wisdom of budget cuts at universities everywhere.

    Bubba Ho-tep
    It's a credit to the actors, particularly the superb Campbell, that completely preposterous material can be made strangely touching.

    Prisoner of Paradise
    Frustratingly superficial.

    What the filmmakers do to the splendid Moore is simply criminal.

    Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie
    Enough SpongeBob-meets-Monty-Python silliness to give adults a kick as well.

    Never Again
    Clayburgh is the most dignified thing about this dreadfully overwrought, often preposterous romantic comedy.

    Good Boy!
    The movie is saved by its well-trained four-legged stars and the likable Liam Aiken ("Road to Perdition"), who plays 12-year-old loner Owen Baker.

    Down and Out with the Dolls
    The trouble with authenticity in a punk rock film is that it comes off as amateurish, and while "Dolls" has a feverish energy -- and some good songs -- it suffers from crude performances and a trite rise-and-fall plot.

    The Mother
    A promising film that is dragged down by the weight of its gray morbidity.
    • 53 Metascore

    The Fighting Temptations
    Diva du jour Beyoncé Knowles may be the draw, but the real star of The Fighting Temptations is the sensational gospel soundtrack.

    Beyond Borders
    Makes an earnest stab at illustrating the hardships and sacrifices humanitarian workers contend with - but in the end, all the suffering merely forms an amorphous backdrop for a Harlequin romance.

    The Manchurian Candidate
    Uniformly excellent performances keep this destabilizing tale ticking, yet one can't help wishing Hollywood had combined this cast and these timely themes with a little bit of imagination to come up with something fresh.

    The Corporation
    Delivers its provocative message in the measured tones of a college professor -- yet there's no danger of falling asleep in this lecture.

    White Chicks
    They resort too often to infantile flatulence jokes and fairly obvious gags about errant G-strings, with the anorexic plot culminating in the brothers having - yawn - learned to respect women's feelings.

    Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism
    This furious finger-pointer's doc is so one-sided, it undermines its own integrity.

    Hair Show
    The story is so slight, a low-wattage hair dryer could blow it away.

    Paid in Full
    Apart from the slightly sanitized look of Reagan-era Harlem, this raw ghetto drama rings true, from the smooth dialogue to the unaffected performances of the central actors.

    • 75 Megan Lehmann
    The Yes Men
    An amusing side dish to the sober political documentaries flooding the art houses, The Yes Men effectively uses high farce to mock the status quo as a way of questioning it.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 63 Megan Lehmann
    Friday Night
    If you give yourself over to it, this romantic tale of a liberating one-night stand proves oddly seductive and generates a warm afterglow.

    Bend It Like Beckham
    An energetic, feel-good blend of comedy, romance and benign drama -- with a side dish of social commentary -- that works despite its strict adherence to the culture clash/generation gap formula.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 88 Megan Lehmann
    The Polar Express
    Devoid of 21st-century irony, this visually stunning, action-packed yuletide treat is sweet and, yes, magical in a way that will enchant kids and give older viewers a twinge of nostalgia.
