    Dragonfly
    When Kevin Costner goes into sensitive-guy mode, beware.

    Saving Grace
    Though not quite up to "The Full Monty" or "Waking Ned Devine," there's just enough left in that overseas whimsy stockpile to generate good buzz (the word-of-mouth moviegoer kind).

    Rugrats in Paris: The Movie - Rugrats II
    Great movies are sometimes described as filet mignon or champagne, but this one is more like a pacifier.

    The Claim
    The actors seem as frozen as the landscape in this unsuccessful attempt at a grand and profound Western about the California Gold Rush.

    Snow Falling on Cedars
    Compelling almost in spite of itself, thanks to the impressionistic imagery of cinematographer Robert Richardson.

    The Grandfather
    The material has enough meat to enable charitable viewers to drift in and out, but the result is too arch to conjure up much affection.

    Titus
    There's a lot to talk about but so much outrageousness that the end effect is wearying and not a little absurd.

    An Everlasting Piece
    This wee trinket of a comedy, one of the more offbeat stabs at capturing the absurdity of the religious and political strife in Ireland, is for those who like their Guinness with a shot of wry.

    Real Steel
    It's an odd blend - a sentimental story in a futuristic world of brutal machine-maneuvered fights. There are some ringside thrills, but it's not a seamless mesh.

    The Anniversary Party
    If one of its points is to show that underused thirtyish actresses still are attractive, it succeeds with Leigh and Cates -- and Jennifer Beals, who also provides a flashback feeling playing Cummings' ex-squeeze.

    Injeong sajeong bol geot eobtda

    Agnes Browne
    Great slabs of blarney are washed down with tears and Guinness in this yarn about a struggling Irish clan, and the resulting sentiment is blatant enough to wake Ned Devine.

    The Last Samurai
    Never recovers from its failure to grip or engage in the early going.

    From Hell
    With almost as many subplots as corpses, the movie maintains its mild watchability only because the Ripper saga still engrosses.

    Human Traffic
    Someone has seen "Trainspotting" too many times, and it's writer/director Justin Kerrigan.

    Gridiron Gang
    The best thing about Gridiron Gang is the performance of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He is engaging, affable and wholly believable as a former football star turned officer in a juvenile detention center.

    That's the Way I Like It
    A further dose of "been there/done that."

    Race to Witch Mountain
    Mediocre family fare that's simply not that much fun.

    Aquamarine
    Despite corny one-liners and plot developments that don't always hold water, Aquamarine rises above the flotsam filling theaters this time of year with a likable tale of friendship and charming performances.

    Everyone's Hero
    A sweet, inspirational movie that doesn't offer any surprises, but entertains youthful audiences in a gentle, almost old-fashioned way.

    Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland
    Vaughn could have used an editor, but Wild West still is a romp with a likable bunch.

    Happy Feet Two
    For a computer-animated movie about dancing penguins, it's surprisingly leaden. Not even the impressive voice talent can rev up this clumsy spectacle.

    Where the Money Is
    Easygoing and easy to take, the movie isn't much.

    Brother Bear
    A sweet celebration of brotherhood in its many forms. It gently encourages human communion with animals, nature and our fellow man.

    Sugar & Spice
    Ragged but with an appealing comic edge, the movie is certainly funnier than most of the other comedies that studios have tried to keep from critics until opening day.

    The Guru
    Agreeable and slipshod in equal fashion, The Guru illustrates the subtle distinction between stupidity and goofiness.

    Miss Julie
    August Strindberg's psychological drama of erotic class conflict gets a bracing, claustrophobic workout from director Mike Figgis.

    Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?
    Though entertaining, Spurlock's lighthearted approach doesn't work as well here.

    The Closer You Get
    It is tough to fight off the ennui created by this comedy.
