  1. Seed of Chucky
    By far, the most shocking carnage is Tilly carving up her persona. What a doll.
  2. After the Sunset
    A fun-in-the-sun heist caper that director Brett Ratner stages as if he were the activities director of a cruise ship.
  3. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
    A triumph of performance, production, and adaptation over the empty-calorie dither of its source material.
  4. Kinsey
    Kinsey is patient and educational and never (darn it) rude or shocking.
  5. Finding Neverland
    Depp portrays a fellow who is openly gentle to the core, and the actor just about wraps the movie around his lilting delivery and quiescent gaze.
  6. Overnight
    I do wish that Overnight caught in more precise detail what Duffy, who finally made his film on the cheap at an obscure studio, did to tick off the Miramax powers. Imagining it, though, is half the fun.
  7. The Polar Express
    The screenplay, by Zemeckis and William Broyles Jr., plumps Van Allsburg's simple fable about the purity of childhood faith in what can't be seen with all sorts of wholly invented characters, complications, and declarations.
  8. Fade to Black
    The man has the right to retire, but what will he do with all the words in his head?
  9. Brother to Brother
    First-time writer-director Rodney Evans makes a ballsy leap into historical fantasia, with heartfelt fervor outrunning stray moments of artistic gawkiness.
  10. Alfie
    The new Alfie is so irresistible that he hardly requires contempt. Without it, the movie is little more than a feature-length roll in the hay.
  11. The Incredibles
    Dazzlingly beautiful, funny, and meaningful.

    It's All About Love
    The experiment didn't work. The English-language production is a jumble of poorly delineated notions about love, celebrity, the look of romantic movies, and the sound of American-style dialogue - and it's been sitting on the shelf for over a year.
  13. Enduring Love
    What blows us away is the power of Ifans' moist puppy eyes and chilling smile as a true believer undeterred by reality.
  14. Birth
    When Kidman slithers into a bathtub with her young ''husband,'' the scene, in its soft-pedaled way, is the definition of exploitation: It appears to have been cooked up for no other purpose than to conjure creepy child-porn overtones.
  15. Saw
    Saw is a gristle-cut B psycho thriller that would like to tap the sickest corners of your imagination. It has a few moments of nightmare creepiness, but it's also derivative and messy and too nonsensical for its own good.
  16. Ray
    As a musical biography, Ray is driven by the primal excitement of rock-and-soul at the moment of its discovery.
  17. Sideways
    It's an intoxicating feeling when a movie excites and enlivens us like this -- and there's a particular giddiness to be had in thinking about what movies can (but don't often) do for one's soul after imbibing such a fine vintage.
  18. Undertow
    The truth is that Undertow is like a conventional Hollywood movie operating on half its cylinders.
  19. The Manson Family
    The film evokes how homicide became the ultimate orgasm for kids who had turned themselves into zombies of flesh.
  20. Lightning in a Bottle
    The music's sensational, but you keep waiting for the pledge number to flash up.
  21. The Machinist
    Bale exists all too large under the circumstances, a well-fed actor playing at emaciation for the sake of a fiction about a character whose torment is as unreadable as his vertebrae are countable.
  22. The Grudge
    A horror film that consists of virtually nothing but don't-go-in-the-attic suspense scenes strung together with a reasonable degree of brooding mood and a minimum of logic.
  23. Surviving Christmas
    There are no survivors here.
  24. Sex Is Comedy
    Shows a beguiling aptitude for self-mockery in the pursuit of polemic.
  25. P.S.
    The movie implodes, with each actor less vivid than he or she ought to be and each character less connected to the others than necessary for such an arbitrary plot.
  26. Riding the Bullet
    Falls short of its source.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Final Cut
    Quiet and sleepy.
  28. Moolaadé
    The result: This great work of art has the potential to change the world.
  29. Eulogy
    The cast itself is weirdly overqualified.
  30. Being Julia
    Being Julia flirts too heavily with soap opera clichés, but it has enough surprises to keep you guessing, and for Annette Bening it's the liveliest of comebacks.
