  1. The Death of Mr. Lazarescu
    Mr. Lazarescu is that rich and riveting a film of universal small human moments and big-system failure.
  2. Three Times
    Do Hou's films deserve to be seen? Absolutely, if only to end the myth that they're too perfect for this world.
  3. American Dreamz
    A blithe, funny, and engaging movie.

    The Sentinel
    Looking back, 1993 was a golden age for thriller cinema. That was the year Hollywood hatched both "In the Line of Fire" and "The Fugitive," the two obvious and way superior antecedents for the very humdrum B-movie mash-up The Sentinel.
  5. Silent Hill
    A few of the images are startling, but as Radha Mitchell (a good actress) wanders through a ghost town, searching for her lost daughter as though she was touring an abandoned movie set, Silent Hill is mostly paralyzing in its vagueness.
  6. Somersault
    The character can be a dolt, but Cornish is a marvel, exuding a reckless hunger and prowling with a sexuality of potent directness.
  7. Scary Movie 4
    And as ever, the jokes are a jumble of the gross, the baggy, the raunchy, the mistimed, and - every once in a while - the refreshingly incorrect.
  8. The Wild
    Lifting a concept isn't exactly foreign to the world of animation (what's "The Lion King" if not "Bambi" with manes?), but it isn't often a rip-off gets as blatant as The Wild, a flat-out regurgitation of "Madagascar."
  9. Kinky Boots
    The fact that this formulaically winsome movie, directed by British TV helmer Julian Jarrold, is based on product-line changes at a real Northamptonshire factory does little to freshen its approach.
  10. Hard Candy
    Hard Candy is extreme - a battle of the sexes that glides from tricky to angry to shockingly ugly.
  11. The Notorious Bettie Page
    The movie, in a sense, is just like Bettie's photos: all glorious surface. The Notorious Bettie Page captures, with seductive finesse, how Bettie Page happened, yet what it leaves us with is the tantalizing enigma of a girl who couldn't truly be ''bad'' because she made sex divinely delicious.
  12. Look Both Ways
    Ineffably Australian and intriguingly (rather than annoyingly) artsy, Look Both Ways introduces a handful of people gobsmacked by life-changing crises, all of them trying to make sense of responsibility, mortality, and connection.
  13. La Mujer de Mi Hermano
    You could dismiss this swankily shot Latin American trifle as an upscale soap opera, but that would be an insult to soap operas.
  14. Lucky Number Slevin
    A thriller that holds less interest - and less water - the more it reveals about what's actually going on.
  15. 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.
    • 36 Metascore

    Phat Girlz
    Jazmin's so fat that the movie reduces her to a single discernible characteristic, which is a telltale mark of many a wholly awful comedy.
  17. Take the Lead
    Antonio Banderas is a charming and talented man, but in Take the Lead he lays on the old-world panache so thick - the accent, the flowery courtliness, the romance of romance - that he comes off like Dracula's metrosexual cousin.
  18. Friends with Money
    There is also a manufactured symmetry, an every-gal's-got-issues roundness, an HBO sitcomitude to the movie that undercuts its own observational intelligence.
  19. On a Clear Day
    Scottish actor Peter Mullan saves a drama tangled in the seaweed of life lessons from drowning in pathos.
  20. Free Zone
    Natalie Portman demonstrates tour de force weeping in the back of a taxi as an American searching for her roots in Israel.
  21. 95 Miles to Go
    The mangy joke in the defiantly homemade documentary 95 Miles to Go is that Ray Romano on a business trip is no different from any other schmo, minus the autograph signing.
  22. I Am a Sex Addict
    Zahedi is ruefully funny and savage in his self-exposure.
  23. Basic Instinct 2
    Basic Instinct 2 isn't bad, exactly, but it lacks the entertaining vulgarity of the first film; it's Basic Instinct redone with more ''class'' and less thrust.
  24. ATL
    The more rink time, the better: As directed by hip-hop music-video king Chris Robinson from a story by "Antwone Fisher's" Antwone Fisher, the skate scenes are a blast.
  25. Ice Age: The Meltdown
    Ice Age: The Meltdown blithely looks on the bright side of life, amassing a screen full of vultures to sing and dance ''Food Glorious Food'' and daring us not to get happy.
  26. Slither
    There are times (and plenty of them) when Slither slops over from smart, affectionate homage into unmodulated frat goofiness as Gunn cannibalizes so many horror plots with such high spirits.
  27. Brick
    Johnson also grabs hold of a fundamental truth and seduces us with it: The schoolyard can be the noirest burg of all.
  28. Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That!
    Boils down to a performance film with abysmal sound in which you rarely get to see a good, revealing close-up of the stars.
  29. The Devil and Daniel Johnston
    A fascinating and lovingly crafted musical documentary that nevertheless misunderstands its own subject.
  30. Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing & Charm School
    Really, about all that unifies the movie is its inclination to turn little people's dreams into limply ''affectionate'' camp.
