  1. Chelsea Walls
    The ethos of the Chelsea Hotel may shape Hawke's artistic aspirations, but he hasn't yet coordinated his own DV poetry with the Beat he hears in his soul.
  2. The Cat's Meow
    Peter Bogdanovich taps deep into the Hearst mystique, entertainingly reenacting a historic scandal.
  3. Human Nature
    The movie is too cute to take itself too seriously, but it still feels like it was made by some very stoned college students.
  4. Frailty
    Against all odds in heaven and hell, it creeped me out just fine.

    The Other Side of Heaven
    Slick, fact-based, missionary-themed drama.
  6. Changing Lanes
    Teasing drama whose relentless good-deed/bad-deed reversals are just interesting enough to make a sinner like me pray for an even more interesting, less symmetrical, less obviously cross-shaped creation.
  7. New Best Friend
    Dudsville.
  8. The Sweetest Thing
    A movie in which laughter and self-exploitation merge into jolly soft-porn ''empowerment.''
  9. Lucky Break
    Every porridgy inmate in this instantly forgettable romp warbles in the prison's amateur musical, and one of them demonstrates a rather extreme devotion to the tomatoes he grows in the on-site greenhouse.
  10. Les Destinées
    Pictorial but oddly muffled three-hour saga of romance and capitalism, not necessarily in that order.
  11. High Crimes
    This is very much a ''woman's picture,'' driven by a twin rudder of anxiety and empowerment.
  12. Big Trouble
    There are stretches of big fun in Big Trouble, and little pleasures too.
  13. The Komediant
    Reflect the robust status of Yiddish theater in the early 20th century, and its post-Holocaust decline.
  14. Van Wilder
    Studded with Lampoon/John Hughes anachronisms.
  15. Crush
    For women who smoke and drink like fiends, the trio of pre-owned babes in this weirdly rotten femme-porn romance have awfully good, unwrinkled complexions.
  16. The Rookie
    Something particularly clean shines in this American fairy tale, a quality of simplicity that's almost as hard to achieve in such movies as a middle-aged man's boyhood dreams.
  17. The Piano Teacher
    The audience for this grimly disquieting film is, or ought to be, self-selecting.
  18. Time Out
    There's piercing sadness, and fury, too, in this Everyman's isolation, and Cantet is singularly skilled at evoking the universal condition of such tragic ordinariness.
  19. Death to Smoochy
    Tells a moldy-oldie, not-nearly-as-nasty-as-it-thinks-it-is joke. Over and over again.
  20. 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.
  21. No Such Thing
    Hartley is trapped between sincerity and mock sincerity, and that all but dooms a filmmaker to slipping through the cracks.
  22. Clockstoppers
    Stops time, all right -- it stretches 94 minutes into something that begins to feel like infinity.
  23. Sorority Boys
    There are moments of real funniness in this smarter-than-anticipated goof-fest.
  24. Son of the Bride
    Has an appealing modesty, but director Juan José Campanella works so hard to keep everything soft and winsome and charming that he cushions the understatement into blandness.
  25. Jim Brown: All American
    From what we can tell, Brown was a dancer, all right, in life as well as on the field -- a dancer with a powerful forearm, one that Lee covers in protective padding.
  26. Blade II
    Del Toro lays on the operatic head-trip gore, but his heavy-handed embrace of the ''Blade'' mythology allows Wesley Snipes to give more of a performance than he did in the first film.
  27. Harrison's Flowers
    A chintzy melodrama gussied up as hair-trigger combat ''reality,'' but there's no denying the vividness with which the French cowriter-director Elie Chouraqui has visualized the chaos of Croatia.
  28. Showtime
    De Niro seems to be reacting to nothing so much as the lame movie he's stuck in.
  29. Y Tu Mamá También
    Sad, funny, sexy, and altogether marvelous.
  30. Promises
    Superb, Oscar-nominated documentary.
