    The Cider House Rules
    Part of the appeal of John Irving's writing is its sense of bounty, the way the world is offered up as a horn of plenty. The Cider House Rules movie, by contrast, feels narrowed down to small slices of experience.

    Bulworth
    Bulworth shoots along with great vigor, and its non-politically correct jabs are occasionally exhilarating.

    Titanic
    Like it or hate it, Titanic lives and breathes as a piece of pure cinema.

    Bring It On
    Enough pep in this picture to make it rise above teen-movie expectations.

    Joe Gould's Secret
    A fitting tribute to an era, a writer, and an unapologetic eccentric.

    Wonder Boys
    Well-crafted scenes that carry a bracingly grown-up tang: unhurried, played in a low key, with plenty of time to savor the details of character and place.

    Illuminata
    I'll be damned if I can figure out how its various ingredients are supposed to blend together.

    Go
    When the writing is good, Go is good, and when the writing is flat, things fall apart.

    The Dish
    If it weren't so pushy about selling itself, The Dish might have been a very special movie.

    Billy Elliot
    Director Stephen Daldry gets it right.

    Shower
    There's something thin about the picture-both in its ideas and its visual texture.

    South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut
    The kind of college movie people will be quoting for years.

    Black Cat, White Cat
    There is a point in the movie when this mayhem crosses the line from wildly imaginative to downright insufferable.

    Meet the Parents
    While this movie is no great advance in cinema comedy, it is rewardingly silly.

    Beyond the Mat
    Takes an easy target and turns it into something naggingly weird.

    Erin Brockovich
    Julia Roberts owns this sweet-natured film.

    The Thomas Crown Affair
    Strangely enough, this movie provides a lot of the James Bond veneer that has been missing from recent James Bond movies.

    The Pledge
    Sometimes feels like an acting class gone berserk, with Penn indulging his high-powered cast

    Swingers
    For the most part, a delight.

    Mansfield Park
    Quick and funny, and a refreshing break from period-film stuffiness.

    Pleasantville
    Terrific idea, brilliantly worked out on a technical level.

    The Tao of Steve
    A crowd pleaser, but there's something a bit prim and pre-determined about its conclusions.

    Primary Colors
    Primary Colors is by turns hugely entertaining and resoundingly square, beginning as a raucous black comedy about political mechanics and ending as a sober-sided morality tale.

    Nurse Betty
    This fantasy-tinged romance leaves a distinctly bitter aftertaste.

    Eyes Wide Shut
    It's Kubrick, for sure, and in often mesmerizing form.

    O Brother, Where Art Thou?
    All I can say is this particular excursion into screwball madness is often heavenly, and frankly leaves critical explication somewhat unnecessary. Go see it and laugh.

    Coyote Ugly
    It probably helps to be loaded while you're watching this movie.

    Theeviravaathi: The Terrorist
    When it counts, this film is absolutely successful.

    Notting Hill
    A piece of fluff that can be enjoyed without guilt.

    Santitos
    A Mexican film that reaches for a very weird and risky tone, and, I think, fails.
