    Tea with Mussolini
    These actresses are always worth seeing in just about anything, as is Tuscany. Together they are able to make up for the meandering plot and lack of dramatic oomph.

    Never Been Kissed
    The script is an odd take on the Cinderella formula, but Barrymore makes it shine with her relentless charm.

    Drowning Mona
    As dumb as the film is, the actors escape relatively unscathed.

    Blast from the Past
    Spacek is brilliantly funny, slowly transforming Helen from a nervous 60s housewife into a liquored-up one. I could have watched her in the vibrating fat-burner, eyes closed, lazily gripping a martini glass, for hours.

    Bandits
    (Katja von Garnier's) talent makes this original film exciting and moving, a raucous ride.

    Drop Dead Gorgeous
    The crude humor in Drop Dead Gorgeous does not have a moral point to it. It's just crude.

    Keeping the Faith
    A fine film; as an Ed Norton picture, it's a disappointment.

    Gossip
    Hampered by a silly plot and flat script.

    Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000
    The dialogue is inane, the acting wooden, and Roger Christian's directing choices are a lesson in sci-fi film cliché.

    Varsity Blues
    A flat, cliched film in a flat, cliched genre.

    Down to You
    A disaster: dull, predictable, at times cringe-worthy.

    Center Stage
    The end is predictable after the first five minutes (two, if you're smart), but the film sucks you in all the same.

    Rules of Engagement
    Jones even manages to save this somewhat tiring film.

    The Mod Squad
    Bad, but not criminally so.

    Eye of the Beholder
    Hilariously incompetent.

    The Big Kahuna
    It is an intense study of the human condition, and man's relationship with God, aka the Big Kahuna.

    Judy Berlin
    Gorgeous, mesmerizing, and stunningly well acted.

    Wing Commander: Space Will Never Be the Same
    Matthew Lillard of "Scream," flies like his nickname and tries to bring the film some comic relief not already provided by the stultifying stupidity of the script.

    The Big Tease
    Enough already with the faux documentary!

    J'aimerais pas crever un dimanche
    Despite its bizarre intellectual project, Le Pecheur's film is seductive and shockingly sexy.
