  1. The Anniversary Party
    As a work of art, the movie, shot quickly on digital video, is genial enough if unrefined.

      Ty Burr
    Kiss Me, Guido
    If writer-director Tony Vitale ladles on the cliches with extra sauce, Guido still has a hey-Ma-I'm-makin'-a-movie enthusiasm that's more infectious than it has a right to be.
  3. Undercover Brother
    Lee's images of black and white stereotypes are agreeably silly yet altogether too thin and vanilla safe.
  4. Steal This Movie
    Scrappy and rambling and overly earnest.
  5. Driven
    Mostly preposterous, and it has no dramatic center, but the racing scenes hold you in their death-trip grip.
  6. Chasing Liberty
    At least some Goode may come from Chasing Liberty: I hope we'll be seeing more of the handsome and unboyish young man with big star potential who looks ready to take on more, not Moore.
  7. Inventing the Abbotts
    The only real heat among the group comes from Jennifer Connelly, who, as the bad-girl middle daughter, raises the stakes any time she's on screen.
  8. Cabin Fever
    A big, dumb, crude, noisy, goose-the-audience bash and proud of it. It's not nearly as unsettling as ''28 Days Later.''
  9. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
    The gruesomely unnecessary remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is such a smorgasbord of slimy grunge that to call the movie gross wouldn't do it justice -- it's downright sticky.
  10. Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
    Here we are again: not entertained, not nearly enough, by an installment of the ''Star Wars'' epic that, for the first time, exhibits symptoms of...nerves. And a chill, conservative grimness of purpose, rather than an excited thrill at the possibilities of cinematic storytelling.
  11. Tomorrow Never Dies
    The film forgets that Bond's most dangerous actions have always been his quietest ones, in which he uses his charisma to turn his enemies against themselves.
  12. Army of Darkness
    By the time Army of Darkness turns into a retread of "Jason and the Argonauts," featuring an army of fighting skeletons, the film has fallen into a ditch between parody and spectacle.
  13. Booye kafoor, atre yas
    Depression is a fair subject for a movie, but this much moroseness shouldn't come to this little.
  14. Twentynine Palms
    This is one of those films in which the Act of Driving becomes a 10-minute statement of high emptiness; Dumont even manages to make sex in the desert boring.
  15. The Mexican
    It's not the fault of "The Sopranos" charismatic, beefy star (Gandolfini) that he's an actor of such substance and quiet ardor as to make idle movie star ribbitting look frivolous.
  16. A Civil Action
    Starts out well, but it turns into an almost perversely undramatic legal thriller.
  17. Jawbreaker
    A synthetic yet shrill sadomasochistic cartoon.
  18. The Human Stain
    The Human Stain is, contradictorily, drained of color by the spotlight turned on its charismatic leads. Between the labors of simplifying the story for the screen and accommodating the stardust of world-class actors, an essentially, uniquely American tragic hero and heroine are bleached of real American tragedy.
  19. Secret Window
    Doesn't keep any secrets but an open one: that Johnny Depp is on a roll, and actor's block is definitely not his problem.
  20. Radio
    Radio is assembled from small, hard stones of ignorance and intolerance paved over by large, mushy examples of community goodness.
  21. The Big Kahuna
    That The Big Kahuna is hardly more than a sketch or curtain-raiser is not the fault of the play in itself -- it's short-film size, not feature-worthy.
  22. Showgirls
    As Nomi, Elizabeth Berkley has exactly two emotions -- hot and bothered -- but her party-doll blowsiness works for the picture.
  23. The Shape of Things
    What it isn't is a believable relationship. Yet that may scarcely matter to LaBute, a gifted and corrosive wordsmith who appears intent, by now, on shoving all romantic couplings into the meat grinder of his misanthropic design.
  24. Paid in Full
    A fake street drama that keeps telling you things instead of showing them, though Mekhi Phifer, playing a hustler who loves the life, is electric and true.
  25. Sunshine State
    Like a blue plate special at a theme diner, Sunshine State comes with a lot of overdone side dishes thrown on the table at the same time.
  26. Mr 3000
    It's a canned clip reel of Heartwarming Sports Comedy, intermittently redeemed by its easygoing boomer vibe. And at its center is the redoubtable Bernie Mac, nicely aged, as he says, ''like USDA beef.''
  27. Cecil B. DeMented
    Has a few viciously funny moments.
  28. Breakin' All the Rules
    The rules of good screenwriting are mostly broken, though Jamie Foxx's smash-and-grab charisma remains intact.
  29. Illuminata
    The production feels self-congratulatory and illuminated only dimly.
  30. Next Friday
    Starts high, gradually bogs down, then dies.
