    High Crimes
    Secret trials and buried atrocities are no match for a plucky (and rich, and svelte) young heroine, least of all Ms. Ashley Judd, who eyebrow-cocks her way through Carl Franklin's witless High Crimes.

    Master of the Flying Guillotine (re-release)
    Snags the viewer's attention by lacing its martial-arts high jinks with a compelling weirdness.

    Whipped
    If all-out headache-nausea-braindeath is what you crave, Whipped's available.

    Backstage
    High-concept cinema this ain't.

    Tattoo Bar
    This tale of a sprung tough looking to go straight is so familiar it's faceless.

    Urban Legends: Final Cut
    Simply less campily moronic than its predecessor, a tired kill-by-numbers.

    Boys and Girls
    A cat-and-dog romantic squabbler so garbled you'd need a centrifuge to sort things out.

    Captain Pantoja and the Special Services
    Sadly, most of Lombardi's movie is too doggedly mediocre to cut loose, overheated (and quite lovely) cinematography notwithstanding.

    Bubble Boy
    The coke-fried gibbons behind Bubble Boy came to a trailblazing conclusion: The ideal filmic oddity is white, male, and -- a mother's deception notwithstanding -- perfectly healthy.

    All About the Benjamins
    Glitz and speed help alleviate cavernous plot holes and rote gangsta misogyny, while the gleeful violence, pointlessly sappy lulls, and racial sparring are leavened a bit by capricious auto-critique.

    Smokers Only
    Detached performances and a murky sound mix further the sense of suspended animation.

    The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield
    The feature itself remains a grotesquely enjoyable turn through the pulp-cinema wringer; hell, it could prove to be Mansfield's most enduring work.

    The Sculptress
    Wright's "British" accent elicits the only shudders.

    Big Trouble
    Cute intentions and shaggy comedy only get you so far when the world is falling down around you.

    Fear of Fiction
    Ahearn's maddening game of connect-the-dots is content to collapse inward with honking, preening abandon.

    Blink of an Eye
    If you're in prison, it's best to stay there. 'Cause if you don't, as Blink of an Eye makes clear, you're fucked -- Outside the safety of your cell, a vicious world of cliché lies in wait to claim you.

    CyberWorld
    A techno-happy bumrush screaming the joy of never thinking twice about repeating things ad nauseam, and as loud as possible.
