  1. Lucky Number Slevin
    A thriller that holds less interest - and less water - the more it reveals about what's actually going on.
  2. The Benchwarmers
    This morphing of "The Bad News Bears" and a "Three Stooges" episode parades its dumbness with such zip that it almost passes for clever.
  3. Free Zone
    Natalie Portman demonstrates tour de force weeping in the back of a taxi as an American searching for her roots in Israel.
  4. X-Men: The Last Stand
    This is interesting stuff. So why does The Last Stand feel driven to dumb itself down, as if embarrassed by its own ideas?
  5. Mouth to Mouth
    Writer-director Alison Murray picks at a hard, true hurt in this zombie melodrama of defloration, but nothing beyond that hurt really comes into focus.
  6. The Great New Wonderful
    Working from a stagy script by Sam Catlin, director Danny Leiner uses a dainty palette of tristesse (untouched when he made Dude, Where's My Car?) to suggest that the shadow of 9/11 makes every discontent more pathetic.
  7. You, Me and Dupree
    Isn't a very funny movie (it preaches nonconformity in the rote style of an overlit sitcom), but Wilson, at least, keeps it afloat.
  8. The Oh in Ohio
    A silly, amusing trifle.
  9. Time to Leave
    Moreau's few ripe scenes are choice, and she spices up the joint with her gravelly voice of je ne regrette rien.
  10. Edmond
    We're in David Mamet World. William H. Macy -- the quintessential player of Mamet men in all their impacted rage -- stars in this claustrophobic adaptation.
  11. My Country, My Country
    Though the events have a rambling overfamiliarity, there's a real story between the lines: the resentment over the U.S. occupation on the part of non-insurgent Iraqis.
  12. Boynton Beach Club
    Gracious, if meandering.
  13. Accepted
    Accepted's winning dumbness and breezy bons mots save it from the pit.
  14. Crank
    The movie is cranked up somewhere between stylish and proudly stupid, dusted with sunniness from Amy Smart (as Chev's sleepy girlfriend) -- and guaranteed to be out of your system by the time the lights come up.
  15. The Wicker Man
    Despite its logy, red-herring structure, the film has enough enigma and weirdness that it gradually stirs to life.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The Protector
    It's silly, at times laughable, sure, but Jaa has a reckless, bone-cracking grace that transcends the film's triviality.
  17. The Black Dahlia
    The film is more than a little in love with the corruption it finds under the floorboards -- and that, of course, is perfectly dandy. I wouldn't trust a film noir that wasn't enthralled by decadence.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Everyone's Hero
    Everyone's Hero re-creates Depression-era America with surprisingly agreeable anachronistic panache, but a sassy ball and bat don't cut it as compelling cartoon characters, and the not-so-human humans never quite do either (Babe Ruth looks like Shrek).
    • 58 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Aurora Borealis
    Lewis, in particular, is a charmer; it's a loss that she never became an A-lister. And Jackson is, as always, earnestness itself. The movie would be a quality guilty-gloopy pleasure if it weren't so deadly overlong.
  20. Keeping Mum
    She's no Mary Poppins: Maggie Smith is more like a cheery Angel of Death in the light black comedy Keeping Mum, one of those dutifully daft British diddles (complete with Rowan Atkinson as a vicar) that, except for the blunt sex talk, might have been constructed decades ago.
  21. Feast
    Feast isn't quite demented enough to reach Raimi-an heights, but Gulager uses parts of the monster-movie buffalo even the buffalo didn't know existed.
  22. The Science of Sleep
    The Science of Sleep is like a weird dream that tugs at the memory throughout the day with its intriguing, misshapen pieces.
  23. Infamous
    The added value that writer-director Douglas McGrath has in mind is gossip -- and a goggly interest in gossip becomes the glittering gimmick of Infamous.
  24. Flags of Our Fathers
    The trouble is, he's preaching to the choir -- or, at least, to a culture, profoundly influenced by Tom Brokaw's "The Greatest Generation" and Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan," that has already absorbed the lesson that ''the Good War,'' while it may have been noble, was never less than hell.
  25. Flicka
    As for our heroine (Lohman), her archetypal struggle with crusty Pa (uncrusty Tim McGraw) feels attitude-heavy and life-lesson-light.
  26. Cocaine Cowboys
    Cocaine Cowboys, which at times seems like it could have been edited by someone on coke, comes at you as a vast bloody river of underworld information.
  27. The Bridge
    The Bridge crosses a disquieting line.
  28. Stranger Than Fiction
    An eminently easy-to-watch piece of one-joke pop japery, is a movie that mimics the I'm-a-character-in-my-own-life metaphysical playfulness of "The Truman Show."
  29. Flannel Pajamas
    The hero remains such an exhibitionistically cocky, walled-off jerk that Flannel Pajamas' glib conversational ''candor'' yields no mystery. And that's a problem in two hours of talk.
  30. Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny
    Works just like a Tenacious D song. The movie feels giddy and eruptive, dopily enthralled with itself, and more or less made up on the spot.
