  1. Full Frontal
    Even by Soderbergh's standards of serious playfulness/playful seriousness, Full Frontal is a tricky novelty item: The director himself has variously described it as an ''experiment,'' an ''exercise,'' and a ''sketch.''
  2. Jakob the Liar
    Of course, there's still the Williams schmaltz factor.
  3. The Sum of All Fears
    A world-detonation thriller, at once urgent and lazy, that benefits from its connection to current events and also, by the end, suffers from it.
  4. The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
    It seems pompous and scattershot now -- a tweaking of privileged European smugness that unfolds with a playful daisy-chain logic but has the tone of a quaint, doddering lecture.
  5. The Deep End
    Displays a promise it doesn't, in the end, live up to. See it for Swinton's embodiment of unadulterated maternal will.
  6. The Heart of Me
    In their own precisely posed ways, the drenched players in The Heart of Me are as compelling as those in any less decorum-bound love triangle.
  7. Once Upon a Time in the Midlands
    There are instances when the filmmaker tries for Western iconography and settles for ''Full Monty'' ingratiation.
  8. Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
    Messy and scattershot, with a plot that's little more than a dirty version of ''Flubber.''

    The Deep End of the Ocean
    If the film was less than satisfying as a big-screen event, it's still worth renting for Pfeiffer, who valiantly portrays the devastating complexities of grief and guilt.
  10. Dog Park
    This shambling romantic comedy...clings to a sensibility that's imperviously, uncompromisingly Canadian.
  11. Mystery Men
    This hip send-up of the superhero lifestyle has a bunch of great comic bits from a group of great, eccentric talents, but not enough bourgeois discipline to see the story through.
  12. Men of Honor
    Educational and upstanding, a little overacted and more than a little overdramatized. But it's honorable.
  13. Phone Booth
    It's an energetic stunt of a movie, and it wants to make us sweat like it's 1974.
  14. The Big Tease
    More a sampling of previous crowd-pleasers...than a fashion statement all its own.
  15. My Life Without Me
    This hankie-yanker is an emotional cheat.
  16. The Singing Detective
    Robert Downey Jr. is great in a role no one less magnetically reckless would dare approach.
  17. In My Skin
    An experience you won't easily shake.
  18. The Code
    Doesn't have much time for refinement of image or elegance of plot. What it's got instead is an insider's feel for the local, excitable hoodlum life and speech.
  19. The Man in the Iron Mask
    Wallace, unfortunately, writes lazy, anachronistic dialogue, and the picture is abysmally shot (by Peter Suschitzky), with a prosaic, low-budget look that never allows you to experience the enraptured majesty of a fairy-tale historical setting.
  20. Lost in Space
    Is any of this, you know, fun? Just barely. But I'm sure I would have loved it at 6.
  21. Lawless Heart
    The storytelling structure is far more interesting than the story itself. And the elegiac pictures of boats and water are, dismayingly, most engrossing of all.
  22. Hey Arnold! The Movie
    The ethical, independent-minded kid has his unhip charms, and so does Hey Arnold! The Movie.
  23. With All Deliberate Speed
    Sober and honorable, yet it's far from searching.
  24. Hollywood Homicide
    Is it, you know, fun? At times. Yet there's a rote quality to the way this half-dumb, half-sly movie resolves itself into an intentional debauch, a pileup of villainy and heavy metal. The only California dream it leaves you with is one of wretched excess.
  25. Kandahar
    With its lyrical vision of oppression, looks, if anything, milder now than it might have before the war.
  26. Basic Instinct
    Beneath its heavy-breathing fripperies, though, Basic Instinct is mechanical and routine, a muddle of Hitchcockian red herrings and standard cop-thriller ballistics.
  27. Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde
    At once brasher and more frivolous, she's a lot less compelling fighting for the welfare of lab-test animals than she was crusading for her own dignity.
  28. Tomcats
    In its mingling of horniness and disgust, Tomcats attains a convoluted cleverness.
  29. K-PAX
    I rather like the whole mystic- crystal-revelations aspect of K-PAX, and the idea that even a psychiatrist of Jeff Bridges' handsome, American substantiality is open to notions of cosmic improbability.
  30. Windtalkers
    Windtalkers blows this way and that, but there's no mistaking the filmmaker in the tall grass, true to himself.
