  1. The Beach
    Tries to take us from heaven to hell but winds up leaving us in limbo: exasperated and dumfounded.

    Scream 3
    Although Scream 3 is often clever in the way it interweaves the worlds of "Scream," "Stab" and life outside the theater, it's not exactly groundbreaking.
  3. Grizzly Falls
    (Kids) are likely to reject Grizzly Falls as though it were a piece of chewed-over bear fat.
    • Chicago Tribune
  4. Isn't She Great
    A flabbergasting waste of time and talent.
  5. Eye of the Beholder
    Tries to blend old film noir and new high-tech thriller styles with only sporadic impact.
    • Chicago Tribune
  6. Down to You
    Ostensibly a story about first love in college, and I never believed a frame of it.
    • Chicago Tribune
  7. Supernova
    This was a mission that should have been aborted long ago.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    My Dog Skip
    A film that proves even the tiredest genre can be reinvigorated in the right hands.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Next Friday
    Almost comes as a breath of fresh air. Too bad it's so foul.
  10. Fantasia 2000
    Though not as good or as massively innovative as its predecessor, is still a mountainous undertaking.
    • Chicago Tribune
  11. The Hurricane
    Both the movie and Denzel Washington are knockouts.
    • Chicago Tribune
  12. Play It to the Bone
    Fghting your heart out at the end of this movie can't win the prize or the crowd.
  13. Titus
    Once you get used to the broad gestures, visual stylings and reach-for-the-sky emotions, you may find yourself luxuriating in this movie's undeniable grandeur.
  14. Galaxy Quest
    It's a clever premise but not one that lends itself to an hour and 42 minutes of high jinks. You get the joke quickly.
    • Chicago Tribune
  15. The Talented Mr. Ripley
    Minghella's psychological redraft muffles the menace, squanders the tension, throws away the main character and plot engine and turns Ripley into something he never was or should be.
  16. Any Given Sunday
    There's scarcely a scene in which the actors, action and sound track aren't cranked up to maximum intensity.
    • Chicago Tribune
  17. Angela's Ashes
    Haunts the conscience, troubles the spirit.
    • Chicago Tribune
  18. Man on the Moon
    It's not that the movie is bad; it's merely uninspired and relatively clueless about Kaufman.
  19. Snow Falling on Cedars
    Movies made from serious novels are often ridiculed as unworthy of their sources, but this one may be too worthy -- too reverent, too showy, too earnest.
  20. Girl, Interrupted
    The movie -- even though it's based on real events -- seems unsatisfying and unconvincing.
    • Chicago Tribune
  21. Topsy-Turvy
    Some movies delight you. Some stimulate and provoke. Some enlighten and inform. And some simply hand you a rousing good time-- does all of that and more.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Anna and the King
    In the end you feel like you've been taken on a pleasing, professionally run tourist trip that let you enjoy the sights without ever really inhabiting the land.
  23. Onegin
    Despite Fiennes' splendid moodiness and Tyler's radiant vulnerability, despite lovely settings... this movie is dull.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Stuart Little
    Patronizing and predictable where E.B. White's episodic 1945 book...is odd and open-ended.
  25. Simpatico
    A somewhat bewildering and unsatisfying film that nevertheless contains more inspired moments and brilliant scenes than many movies we call successes.
  26. Bicentennial Man
    Has heart, but lacks bite.
    • Chicago Tribune
  27. Jing Ke ci Qin Wang
    Few Hollywood action pictures are half as exciting or ravishing.
    • Chicago Tribune
  28. Magnolia
    The kind of brilliantly weirdo picture that, by all rights, shouldn't have gotten made at all but this time, miraculously, was.
  29. The Cider House Rules
    A deliberately old-fashioned picture that succeeds in nearly everything it tries to do.
    • Chicago Tribune
  30. Cradle Will Rock
    Cradle Will Rock is the masterpiece that wasn't, a magnificent opportunity blown to hell.
