  1. Est - Ouest
    One of the unique virtues of the cinema is its ability to bring history to life with engrossing detail and gripping immediacy; East-West does this.
    • Baltimore Sun
  2. The Filth and the Fury
    An absorbing glimpse not only at the phenomenon of punk rock but also at British social history and the rock star mystique.
    • Baltimore Sun
  3. Rules of Engagement
    This military courtroom drama is full of questions, but woefully short of answers.
  4. Return to Me
    The real strength of Return to Me is Hunt, who knows just when to retreat from the film's overriding sweetness and inject a cynical moment or two.
  5. Ready to Rumble
    The less said the better.
  6. The Road to El Dorado
    The one thing most sorely missing is movie magic.
  7. High Fidelity
    The movie is, to borrow Rob's phrase, unassailably cool.
    • Baltimore Sun
    • 25 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Here on Earth
    The script is drippy, humor-free and old-fashioned:
    • Baltimore Sun
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Waking the Dead
    Gordon deserves credit for at least attempting to deal with political themes, and the tension isn't bad either.
  10. Such a Long Journey
    A film that immerses its audience in the Indian culture while telling a universally appealing story of grace under pressure.
    • Baltimore Sun
    • 20 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Whatever It Takes
    There's a movie opening today that is so indistinctive I can barely remember its name.
  12. Winter Sleepers
    Characters are manipulated and lives made whole in ways both satisfying and unexpected.
  13. Romeo Must Die
    Just don't think about what's going on, and you should be OK.
  14. Erin Brockovich
    The kind of movie that gives mainstream Hollywood star vehicles a good name.
    • Baltimore Sun
    • 73 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Beyond the Mat
    What the film does, brilliantly, is provoke the intelligent fan to wonder if there's a limit to how far the proceedings can go.
    • Baltimore Sun
  16. Final Destination
    Fitfully thrilling.
    • Baltimore Sun
  17. Mission to Mars
    Plot-wise, this is strictly paint-by-numbers stuff.
  18. The Ninth Gate
    A film that really has no idea what it wants to be, so it tries a little of everything, and does nothing very well.
  19. Deterrence
    A carefully conceived and earnest movie that announces its many points just a bit too carefully and earnestly.
    • Baltimore Sun
  20. What Planet Are You From?
    A bawdy, brainy sex comedy geared toward smart people with a sophomoric streak.
  21. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
    A thoroughly absorbing, even transfixing, journey to a future that may already be upon us.
    • Baltimore Sun
  22. Drowning Mona
    A murder caper that could have been written by Agatha Christie during a pub-crawl.
    • Baltimore Sun
  23. The Next Best Thing
    Of Madonna's considerable talents, making the camera love her isn't one: The screen seems to go dead every time she's on it.
  24. Wonder Boys
    With a wistful look at the wages of ambition and the failure of promise, Wonder Boys finally celebrates self-awareness, ending on a muted, quietly moving note of triumph.
  25. Reindeer Games
    The out-of-control plot doesn't unfold gracefully or organically; it simply speeds along with no regard for anything other then getting to the next plot twist.
  26. Judy Berlin
    Possesses moments of fleeting grace, pathos and beauty, even if it ultimately doesn't amount to much.
    • Baltimore Sun
    • 49 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Pitch Black
    A gigantic mess.
  28. Hanging Up
    Ends up being more about her hair (Meg Ryan's) than anything else.
    • Baltimore Sun
  29. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    Filled with delightful sequences.
    • Baltimore Sun
  30. The Whole Nine Yards
    (Perry and Willis) are blown off the screen by Amanda Peet and Natasha Henstridge.
