    Entrapment
    This is one sexy and satisfyingly twisty dance.
  2. Hidalgo
    Simplest of its charms is the opportunity to watch Mortensen adapt his charismatic demeanor of wary, taciturn soulfulness from that of a Middle-earth king-in-waiting to one fitting a half-Lakota horseman in 1890.
  3. My Best Friend's Wedding
    And when [Roberts is] on screen with Mulroney, who seems a frat-house jerk -- all dimples and a perma-tan -- we don't feel much of anything.
  4. People I Know
    As it is, the story collapses like a bad tip to Liz Smith. Still, there's something brash, retro, and even stupidly touching about all the chatty mania, and the way Baitz and Pacino get off on paranoia, conspiracy theories, and the lure of 1960s idealism.
  5. Panic Room
    Soon enough a pointed ode to New York City nerve-rack and survival skills dissolves into a far more average, less compelling, and sometimes just slapdash-vicious cat-and-mouse game.
  6. Pumpkin
    As PC busting goes, this first feature directed by Tony R. Abrams and scribe Adam Larson Broder shoots at close range, and there's something endearing about the way the filmmakers fire away so eagerly at such fluorescent-colored targets.
  7. Anna and the King
    It's a painstakingly correct update of what is, let's face it, one of the least culturally correct love stories ever to be mythologized by Hollywood.
  8. Ride with the Devil
    Ang Lee's bloody but dramatically anemic depiction of the American Civil War as fought by boys without uniforms.
  9. Incident at Loch Ness
    Incident at Loch Ness, unfortunately, is a riddle wrapped in a hoax stuffed inside a crock.
  10. The Peacemaker
    The essential spark of surprise is missing. The mechanics of ''breathless'' suspense are blanketed by an atmosphere of creeping caution.
  11. The Center of the World
    Too arty by half.
  12. Paycheck
    The amazing thing about John Woo's steely, impersonal adaptation of Philip K. Dick sci-fi story about a tech genius whose memory is erased...is how it vanishes in front of our eyes even as we watch it.
  13. Runaway Bride
    The difference between "Pretty Woman" and Runaway Bride is that we can no longer buy Roberts in her tearful romantic-melancholy mode. It seems vaguely patronizing now.
  14. Walking Tall
    There's not a guy I know who hasn't been looking forward to seeing The Rock pick up the big wooden stick first swung by Joe Don Baker more than 30 years ago.
  15. Gigli
    A watchable bad movie, but it's far from your typical cookie-cutter blockbuster. There are no shoot-outs or car chases, and there isn't much romantic suspense, either.
  16. Proof of Life
    When it's dull, which it is too often for a kidnap caper, this movie is about a woman chirping ''notice anything new about my outfit?'' to a man whose idea of style is a jacket not crusted in human blood.
  17. Rain
    As it moves from the drizzly to the overly stormy, Rain freights a young girl's self-destructive eagerness to lose her virginity with so much danger and even horror that it's as if the events were trying to make up for the film's previous lack of drama.
  18. The Bourne Identity
    It has a few whispers of intrigue, but at the heart of The Bourne Identity lies a dispiriting paradox: The more that Jason Bourne learns about himself, the less arresting he seems.
  19. The Family Man
    Schlock weeper.
  20. Drive Me Crazy
    Amusing in its very shallowness.
  21. The Sweetest Thing
    A movie in which laughter and self-exploitation merge into jolly soft-porn ''empowerment.''
  22. How High
    Enough cheery mockery to amuse even non-tokers.
  23. The Alamo
    Never harmonizes into a cinematic experience any more resonant than the average, manly, why-we-fight pic, or coalesces into a stirring cry for freedom.
  24. Valentin
    Agresti fattens us up with the kind of kid's-eye-view tragi-comic adventures that regularly supply empty calories in artificially sweetened foreign-language imports.
  25. The Matrix Revolutions
    Among its better tricks, Matrix Revolutions finally gets the love-story subplot of Neo and Trinity in the right proportion.
  26. A Home at the End of the World
    Most of the movie feels like Farrell's performance: deeply sincere, and more showy than convincing.
  27. White Chicks
    A tawdry excuse for a movie, but it has a handful of shameless giggles.
  28. Zhou Yu de huo che
    The movie follows convoluted narrative tracks. By the end of the drowsy journey, the characters are indistinguishable from the scenery.

    Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius
    It's pleasing to see Jones triumph, digging his way out of sand traps with miraculous wedge shots, but ''Stroke of Genius'' is proof that when a movie is nothing but inspirational, it can sink and disappear into a field of dreams.
  30. Seed of Chucky
    By far, the most shocking carnage is Tilly carving up her persona. What a doll.
