  1. The Anniversary Party
    A cautionary tale, a warning not to gather all of your neurotic friends in one room - or better yet, not to have so many neurotic friends.
    • Baltimore Sun
  2. Atlantis: The Lost Empire
    Enough flair and conviction to keep the movie buoyant even when its plot is abrupt and its emotionality conventional.
    • Baltimore Sun
  3. What's the Worst That Could Happen?
    Best when DeVito plays off the supporting cast surrounding him.
    • Baltimore Sun
  4. Himalaya
    Himalaya does for yak caravans what "Red River" did for cattle drives: it sees them as the stuff of epic conquest.
  5. The Road Home
    It's the rare film that trusts both its audience's intelligence and its emotions.
    • Baltimore Sun
  6. Pearl Harbor
    A brain-dead buddy-movie tearjerker with semi-tasteful romance and tasteful gore mixed in with the derring-do.
    • Baltimore Sun
  7. Our Song
    The movie's triumph is that we experience the ending, in which the three girls go mostly separate ways, not as a defeat but as a transition still open to possibilities.
    • Baltimore Sun
  8. Angel Eyes
    There's a moving, complicated love story at the center of Angel Eyes. It's too bad a peripheral plot line draws attention away from it.
    • Baltimore Sun
  9. Shrek
    A computer-animated burlesque fairy tale that generates more belly laughs than any live-action comedy since "Best in Show."
    • Baltimore Sun
  10. Moulin Rouge!
    It wants to be like no other movie you've ever seen. It's more like every movie you've ever seen.
    • Baltimore Sun
  11. Startup.com
    The giddy excitement of Startup.com comes from feeling as if you're inside the bubble as it soars into the stratosphere - and pops.
  12. A Knight's Tale
    The result is as flat as a year-old beer commercial.
  13. Time and Tide
    If only it had a plot mere humans could follow.
    • Baltimore Sun
  14. Under the Sand
    Rampling's authority over splintered emotions has the force of revelation.
  15. One Night at McCool's
    Too bad you can see this sort of thing done more amusingly every week on ABC-TV and Comedy Central.
  16. Town & Country
    The surprise behind Town and Country isn't that the director started filming without a finished script, but that he ever thought he had the start of one.
  17. The Golden Bowl
    Takes a literary milestone of ambiguity and makes everything about it blisteringly obvious.
  18. Driven
    What we have here is a film where the first 20 minutes are repeated again and again until everything comes to an absolutely predictable end.
    • Baltimore Sun
  19. Harry Is Here to Help
    Critically lacks Highsmith's sixth sense for drawing you into the heart and soul of sociopaths, then jolting you with the realization that things are much worse even than they seem.
  20. The Luzhin Defence
    Handsome and well-acted, yet it can't hold a pawn to Nabokov's harrowing and moving character study.
    • Baltimore Sun
  21. The Center of the World
    Like "Tango," Wang's film also seeks to uncover whether sex without emotion is really possible, or worth the effort.
    • Baltimore Sun
  22. Bridget Jones's Diary
    Zellweger has a ticklish furriness reminiscent of Jean Arthur in her screwball comic prime.
    • Baltimore Sun
  23. The Circle
    A terrific social drama, the work of an artist, not a pleader.
    • 20 Metascore
    • 12 Critic Score
    Joe Dirt
    Even with help from a pathetic Kid Rock and a boost from always-on Christopher Walken, Spade can't pull this off.
    • Baltimore Sun
  25. Josie and the Pussycats
    A comic-book rock band starring in a film that actually makes a point? Now that's something worth singing about.
    • Baltimore Sun
  26. Kingdom Come
    Modest, tasty, and it goes down easy, like home cooking.
  27. Chopper
    There's an awful lot of kinetic energy to Chopper, and the violence is portrayed as graphically as imaginable.
    • Baltimore Sun
  28. Blow
    Too soft on its lead character and too willing to chalk up America's drug appetites to the times-that-were-a-changin' in the '60s.
    • Baltimore Sun
  29. Along Came a Spider
    Best advice: Just sit back and watch Freeman anyway. The man's a cinematic treasure.
    • Baltimore Sun
  30. The Day I Became a Woman
    Takes 20 minutes to burst into fierce, inspired filmmaking.
