  1. The Wedding Date
    So many body parts from other engineered romantic comedies have been crudely harvested and stitched together in the making of this weird robotic lark that "Maid of Honor of Frankenstein" might be more useful a nickname.
  2. The Nomi Song
    Forget Devo, Nico, Bowie, or Beefheart: The most mesmerizing freak show in the history of rock & roll was Klaus Nomi.
  3. Rory O'Shea Was Here
    Rory O'Shea Was Here gazes at the physically afflicted and just about begs for our sympathy long after we've grown restless and eager to feel something else.
  4. Assisted Living
    Parts of the film play like the world's slowest and most insensitive reality show (Who Wants to Be an Octogenarian?).
  5. Daybreak
    The snappish domestic infighting is effectively staged, yet beneath its ''raw'' atmosphere Daybreak traffics in pop-sociological clichés.
  6. Travelers and Magicians
    The (mild) intrigue of Travellers & Magicians is that its central figure, Dondup (Tshewang Dendup), rolls his eyes at Buddhist karma.
  7. Alone in the Dark
    Far be it from me to dismiss a man's effort (Uwe Boll) in a sentence, but the film on your teeth after a three-day drunk possesses more cinematic value.
  8. Hide and Seek
    Hide and Seek, despite early signs of higher goals, is a factory-standard box of shocks.
  9. Aliens of the Deep
    Gorgeous as the underwater life-forms are, the excitement of Aliens of the Deep comes from that most old-school, low-tech of elements: real human beings.
  10. Lost Embrace
    It's in the brightly observed vignettes from mall-society life, captured with a low-key, on-the-run visual style, that Burman shows his best stuff and deadpan wit.
  11. Are We There Yet?
    It's been a while since we saw a bad John Hughes comedy, and Are We There Yet? more than fits the bill (even though Hughes had absolutely nothing to do with it).
  12. Head-On
    Propelled by ferocious sex, nasty violence, and coy interludes of traditional Turkish love songs.
  13. Assault on Precinct 13
    Volatile yet fairly lunkheaded.
  14. Coach Carter
    Jackson, though, does lend this earnest formula flick a core of conviction.
  15. Elektra
    Just as all regular models can't be supermodels, so all action chicks can't be superheroines. Elektra Natchios turns out to be walled off rather than mysteriously alluring; blank rather than deep.
  16. Racing Stripes
    So what disturbed me? It was the Shetland pony, which sports both Dustin Hoffman's pipes and his "I Heart Huckabees" toupee, and will haunt my nightmares forever.
  17. The Chorus
    The movie is rotten the way that only a denatured made-for-export slice of Gallic nostalgia can be.
  18. Appleseed
    At this point, there's something almost masochistic about the way animators in Japan use cheesy ''Westernized'' heroes to fuel their fantasies.
  19. White Noise
    What might have been a rote horror exercise becomes instead a twitchy, mannered, often amusing rote horror exercise.
  20. Sky Blue
    When a brilliant fish wriggles by, even a less than ardent anime viewer will want to freeze the frame and gape.
  21. A Love Song for Bobby Long
    A poky dawdle of a Southern-style indie that would pass without notice but for John Travolta and Scarlett Johansson.
  22. The Assassination of Richard Nixon
    Director Niels Mueller's attempt to create a middle-class "Taxi Driver" (he tips his hand a bit smugly by respelling Byck's name to evoke Travis Bickle) has a creepy, meticulous exactitude.
  23. The Merchant of Venice
    Pacino shows you what is only subliminally in the text: that Shylock's heart of stone is really a wall of wounded pride.
  24. In Good Company
    The denouement of the movie is as preposterously happy as a children's fairy tale. But the moral is ageless.
  25. Fat Albert
    The sermonizing on behalf of good clean fun and hard old effort (Cosby co-wrote the script) is as faded as Big Al's sweater after too many days on earth.
  26. Darkness
    Darkness was clearly tossed together like salad in the editing room, since it's little more than the sum of its unshocking shock cuts.
  27. The Woodsman
    Worth seeing for Bacon's lived-in minimalist purgatory, but the movie soft-pedals the nature of the desires he's at war with: the fact that they will never go away.
  28. In the Realms of the Unreal
    A singular and haunting experience.
  29. The Phantom of the Opera
    The result isn't liberated from the stage; it's trapped, with waxworks literalness, onscreen.
  30. Meet the Fockers
    The old-pro twosome of Streisand and Hoffman make such sexy and inviting ethnics (as a certain kind of movie likes to think of a certain kind of Jewish character) that they blithely prevail over the been-there-done-that gags.
