  1. Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
    Perfume offers eau de crud.
  2. Friday After Next
    If you do insist on seeing this film, don't arrive late: the clever, animated opening credits are a stitch, suggesting a sprightliness of touch and winsome wickedness of tone that's missing from the rest of the movie.

  3. Tamara
    Gory overkill.
  4. Just Visiting
    A mess.

  5. Peaceful Warrior
    Peaceful Warrior fails pitifully at being transcendent. This New Age movie about living in the moment gets you looking at your watch and squirming in your seat.
  6. Irreversible
    Irreversible, though, is not a Kubrickian head trip. All Noe has come up with is a turn-on for sadists.

    Sniper
    It's for those of us for whom killing people with high-powered guns in the movies is not only as good as sex but maybe better -- a sacrament for our age... [A] poorly written, badly directed film.
  8. In the Cut
    In the Cut is a disaster. Familiar to the bone, arty on the surface, it could serve as the doomed pilot for a nightmare TV spinoff: Law & Order: Literary Victims Unit.
  9. Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star
    There's a funny movie struggling inside of Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. Too bad it never gets out.
  10. Bulletproof
    The two guys are potentially amusing but the screenplay is so naked in its manipulation of emotion that it feels infantile.
    • 20 Metascore

    Digimon: Digital Monsters
    Stay away from this movie. Brainless cartoonish violence.
    • Baltimore Sun
  12. 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
  13. Girl, Interrupted
    It's as if the book itself has been locked up and institutionalized, forced to conform to a system that all but obliterates its own unique personality.

  14. Cool World
    It never seriously establishes the ground rules of the principle of transference or the relationship between the two of them, and so what follows is gibberish. [14 Jul 1992]

  15. Daredevil
    How did an embarrassment of comic-book riches become simply an embarrassment as a movie?
  16. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
    The whirl, bang and general bother of crashing gears and gnashing metal ends up suffocating the senses.
  17. The Pink Panther 2
    Even the great Lily Tomlin can't muster a funny reaction to a Polish joke. It's an everything-including-the kitchen-sink comedy -- and the sink has rusty pipes.
  18. EuroTrip
    Most of the humor is both determinedly puerile and unfunny, performed by a generic cast.
  19. Van Wilder
    A very funny movie ... in some alternate universe, maybe.

    Into Great Silence
    Try as I might, I could not love it, because as a piece of cinema, Into Great Silence would try the patience of a saint.
  21. The Way of the Gun
    As ugly, excessive and vulgar as "The Usual Suspects" was stylish, subtle and suave.
  22. Hoffa
    The movie is a corpse. It's a fish that stinks from the head. They ought to bury it in the Jersey Meadowlands. [25 Dec 1992]

    Pinocchio
    The bottom line is that the studio's marketing strategy is just a tad incomplete. Instead of hiding Pinocchio from critics, Miramax should have hidden it from everyone.
  24. The Majestic
    The indisputably gifted Jim Carrey shows the side of him that just wants to be loved - the Riddler on Ritalin, the Mask unmasked. And it turns out to be stultifying.
  25. Road Trip
    The animals in Road Trip are pretty hilarious; as a five-minute short on cable TV's "Animal Planet," this film would be a stitch.
  26. Cheaper by the Dozen 2
    What can you say about a film where Carmen Electra's performance is one of the high points?
  27. Corky Romano
    The only way sober adults will keep awake is wondering how the lead mobsters on "The Sopranos" -- who also are amateur film critics -- will rank the movie next year on HBO.
    • Baltimore Sun
  28. Boiling Point
    There's not a moment in Boiling Point that could be said to achieve a narrative temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Boil? This limpid pool of cliche and predictability never even bubbles.
  29. Nurse Betty
    Aimless and unfocused.
  30. Gigli
    Excruciating...The movie proves to be singularly unfunny and static almost from the non-get-go. Virtually nothing happens; the movie is all premise.
