    Mona Lisa Smile
    Oscillating between a furrowed brow and her trademark horsey smile, Roberts battles the repressed harpies on the faculty and strives to shake her students out of their conformist mind-sets. Dispensing with character development, Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal's lifeless script shunts its caricatures from one predictable plot point to the next.

    The Caveman's Valentine
    Kasi Lemmons directed this tepid thriller, whose only genuinely creepy aspect is its cavalier and uninformed use of mental illness and classical music to heighten the meager suspense.

    America the Beautiful
    Unexpectedly witty and affecting exposé of the American beauty industry.

    Just a Kiss
    Muddled attempt at edgy comedy.

    My Big Fat Independent Movie
    It might have looked good on paper, but the results are mixed at best; despite a few early chuckles, the whole thing gets tired after 20 minutes.

    Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj
    This is shocking only for its tepidness; except for some raunchy language, it's ready-made for basic cable.

    Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
    A straightforward account of the debate between evolutionists and ID proponents might have been both entertaining and enlightening; instead this follows the avuncular Ben Stein (who cowrote the movie) as he jet-sets around the globe trying to prove that a cabal of Darwinians has conspired to destroy academic freedom.

    The Covenant
    Crushingly dull teen horror flick.

    Strange Wilderness
    Aside from the waste of a talented cast, the only thing that really caught my attention was the tomblike silence of the audience--at least until the bong jokes started.
