    Man on Fire
    Where Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill: Vol. 2" radiates freshness and vigor, Man on Fire feels vaguely like something left over from the 1980s, when action heroes were one-note tough guys methodically picking off baddies.

    Washington Heights
    De Villa has created a truthful representation of a colorful community.

    Tupac: Resurrection
    Paints a vivid portrait of a compelling young man but, perhaps inevitably, goes overboard on the deification.

    American Chai
    Much of the movie's gentle charm comes from Mehta, the director's younger brother, making his acting debut.

    Spun
    Spun is quickly exposed as being all flash, no substance.

    The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
    A cheerfully trashy, dead-on spoof of the B-movie genre, boasts the kind of cheese-tastic effects, overcooked dialogue and rigid performances that would make Ed Wood proud.

    Orwell Rolls in His Grave
    A cheaply made, occasionally repetitive, but passionately argued documentary.

    Mule Skinner Blues
    Very funny. It's also heartbreakingly sad.

    Mondays in the Sun
    There's also enough laconic humor, warming camaraderie and hopeful stabs at dignity to keep the story from assuming the glum gunmetal gray of its setting on the coast of northwestern Spain.

    Big Fish
    Even with Burton's imagination turning its trademark cartwheels, the film's big beating heart holds the whimsical offshoots steady.

    The Hebrew Hammer
    A hit-and-miss affair.

    The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement
    Has just enough fairy dust to charm its target audience.

    Birth
    Kidman gives an other stunning performance in Birth, but it is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma that ultimately reveals . . . not much.

    Mail Order Bride
    As if the witless cultural stereotypes weren't bad enough, misogyny is rampant -- bare-breasted women abound, yet the protagonist remains fully clothed while having a bullet removed from his butt.

    Chasing Liberty
    Light, doggedly formulaic romantic comedy that's almost instantly forgettable despite the sunny presence of teen queen Mandy Moore.

    Welcome to Mooseport
    Screenwriter Tom Schulman, who won an Oscar for "Dead Poets Society," gives us a narrative reminiscent of a pup chasing its tail, as characters struggle to catch up with inexplicably chopping and changing motives.

    Eat This New York
    Seem to have spliced together two different concepts which, on paper, may have seemed complementary but wind up giving the film a schizophrenic feel.

    Cellular
    Basinger appears to be literally phoning in from another movie in the highly improbable, maniacally action-packed thriller-cum-comedy Cellular.

    Esther Kahn
    How do you inject life into a film whose central character is dull, slow, stupid and grim?If you're Arnaud Desplechin, you don't.

    Dogville
    A stunning display of a filmmaker adventuring on the far side of what's possible.

    The Day After Tomorrow
    Disaster movies, from "The Poseidon Adventure" to "Towering Inferno," are impossible to take seriously and "Day" is no exception - it's simply a fast-moving pageant of end-of-the-world eye candy.

    My Big Fat Greek Wedding
    Delivers a sugar rush without the calories.

    Swept Away
    Not as bad as rumor would have it. It's worse.

    Thirteen
    Despite its shock value, Thirteen rises above dysfunctional-family-drama cliches, thanks to the truthfulness of its script and the keen eye of a sympathetic director.

    Space Station 3D
    This is what IMAX was made for: Strap on a pair of 3-D goggles, shut out the real world, and take a vicarious voyage to the last frontier -- space.

    Thunderbirds
    Beautiful Brit actress Sophia Myles ("From Hell") is so arch, canny and amusing as the posh, pink-obsessed spy Lady Penelope, it's as if she is acting in the movie this should have been.

    The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
    Infused with the hazy golden glow of nostalgia and unfolds at a leisurely pace, reminiscent of "The Virgin Suicides."

    Freddy vs. Jason
    Despite oblique references to "Psycho" and "Children of the Corn," Freddy vs. Jason lacks the knowing wit needed to keep it afloat in an age when even the horror spoofs have been spoofed.
