  1. The Count of Monte Cristo
    The best thing in The Count of Monte Cristo is Guy Pearce's snot-nosed hauteur. He gives this scoundrel some wounded edges, and frills as well.
  2. A Walk to Remember
    Just because A Walk to Remember is shrewd enough to activate girlish tear ducts doesn't mean it's good enough for our girls. They're willing to buy tickets; why not honor their wits as well as their wallets?
  3. Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
    Processed comedy chop suey.
  4. Italian for Beginners
    To see this much austere vérité atmosphere propping up this much schlock romanticism is like biting into a blue-cheese canapé that turns out to be a fluffernutter.
  5. Snow Dogs
    As distressed as a comedy can be without qualifying as a snow emergency.

      Ty Burr
    Brotherhood of the Wolf
    This is one of those follies that go beyond pesky, bourgeois notions of ''good'' and ''bad.''
  7. Orange County
    Arriving amid the traditionally withered harvest of January releases, Orange County is peachy.
  8. What Time Is It Over There?
    Tsai builds this shimmering story with deft, deadpan wit and a warm, understated love of the absurd, both in life and afterlife.
  9. Impostor
    The entire movie has the meaninglessly burnished, sunglasses-at-midnight glow of an early-'90s car commercial -- a visual scheme guaranteed to leave the audience squinting between yawns.
  10. Charlotte Gray
    A frustratingly inert story, a bookend to last year's wooden ''Captain Corelli's Mandolin.''
  11. I Am Sam
    The dumbing down of low-IQ sentimentality.
  12. Dark Blue World
    The aerial-dogfight scenes, which are beautiful and shot through with jittery panic, are notable for not being staged for videogame kicks.
  13. Black Hawk Down
    Even an audience moved to tender patriotism might wonder how Scott, a proven master of ''Gladiator''-size visual showmanship, could have bombed away the personality of every man fighting until he's left with nothing more than pure combat.
  14. Gosford Park
    The movie might almost be winking at the fact that any single one of these performers could easily be the featured star of his or her own upper-crust period piece.
  15. Monster's Ball
    A traffic map of calls and responses, lessons and homework, wishes and fulfillment. All roads lead to acting-award nominations, but none lead to truth.
  16. The Shipping News
    A limp and sodden downer.
  17. Ali
    For everything it gets right, Ali, following its superb first hour, begins to lose the vision, clarity, and structure necessary to bring its hero into full focus.
  18. The Majestic
    Maybe this well-loved Luke is who his neighbors want him to be, a good fellow who, with his father, reopens the old movie house in town -- the Majestic -- thus allowing his neighbors to dream in the dark again.
  19. Kate & Leopold
    It's no myth: All play and no work makes Jackman, as Leopold, a doll of a boyfriend.
  20. A Beautiful Mind
    Crowe sometimes summons up one of the most powerful depictions of mental illness I have ever seen with barely an eyelid flicker separating manifestations of sickness from utterly sane displays of creative concentration.
  21. A Song for Martin
    The movie, for all its sincerity, becomes clinical and repetitious, though its unsparing vision of the fragility of identity can give you a shudder.
  22. How High
    Enough cheery mockery to amuse even non-tokers.
  23. Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
    A lickety-split, madly packed, roller-coaster entertainment that might almost have been designed to make you scared of how much smarter your kids are than you.
  24. Joe Somebody
    It turns out that Joe ends up liking the old Joe better too. Who just so happens to be the kind of average-Joe character that continues to make Allen such a tidy, non-Joe bundle.
  25. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
    Vibrantly, intricately alive on its own terms. This is what magic the movies can conjure with an inspired fellowship in charge, and unlimited pots of gold.
  26. Kandahar
    With its lyrical vision of oppression, looks, if anything, milder now than it might have before the war.
  27. Iris
    The movie's most artful feature is the fluidity with which the past slides into the present, echoing Murdoch's own unmoored sentience, so that the younger self, played with dash and vigor by Kate Winslet, turns into the old woman lost in her own home.
  28. Not Another Teen Movie
    A big, fat, juicy spitball lobbed, with mostly dead-on aim, at the teen-smarm clichés that have accumulated like so much earwax over the last three years.
  29. Vanilla Sky
    If Crowe's eyes are open, he seems to have directed most of Vanilla Sky with his mind wide shut.
  30. Baran
    There are moments in Baran as wholesomely heart-tugging as any involving Charlie Chaplin and a blind girl, but the film is saved from aren't-kids-cute sentimentality by a warmth that isn't faked and a stately sense of composition.
