  1. The Fast and the Furious
    Works hard to be exciting, but the movie scarcely lives up to its title. It could have used a bit of a fuel injection itself.
  2. Songcatcher
    There are mountain tunes as powerful as moonshine to be enjoyed in Songcatcher -- but there's also a mighty mushy heap of corn pone to be swallowed.
  3. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
    This is just cut-rate, generic daughter of Indy Jones hokum.
  4. Sexy Beast
    Carries so much impacted menace and visual narrative gamesmanship that it brought back some of the excitement I felt nearly a decade ago watching Quentin Tarantino's ''Reservoir Dogs.''
  5. Atlantis: The Lost Empire
    Has my eye, seduced by the devious and tactile delights of ''Shrek,'' already evolved in tandem with the technological leaps in computer animation? Or is Atlantis simply a Disney dud?
  6. Evolution
    Visually witty and even marvelous when it comes to depicting the spectacular creatures evolving at a speed previously known only in the Bible.
  7. Bride of the Wind
    A sodden ''feminist'' vulgarization.
  8. The Anniversary Party
    As a work of art, the movie, shot quickly on digital video, is genial enough if unrefined.
  9. Swordfish
    A good movie? Hardly. But more than enough to pass a dog day afternoon.
  10. Divided We Fall
    The tonal elegance of this black comedy set in a dark time -- is boldly dependent on performances that tug at taut lines of moral complexity.
  11. The Animal
    While a good deal funnier than ''Deuce Bigelow,'' is still destined to get branded, if not condemned, as ''dumb.''
  12. What's the Worst That Could Happen?
    Maybe the worst thing that can happen is that every other movie at the multiplex will be sold out this weekend.
  13. The Man Who Cried
    There's only one performer in the movie who looks completely at ease with what he's doing: the horse.
  14. The Road Home
    This is a gentle, engaging narrative of constancy and devotion against all odds, both natural and bureaucratic, in which the past represents enduring family values and customs.
  15. Pearl Harbor
    The picture is nearly painstaking in its traditionalism, a tale of love, war, and valor in which nostalgia for ''simpler times'' gets mashed together, almost fetishistically, with nostalgia for old movies and for the spirit of knightly self sacrifice during World War II.
  16. Our Song
    The movie draws us into the illusion that we're simply eavesdropping on the lives of three inner-city black and Hispanic girls.
  17. Fast Food Fast Women
    Kollek is a fringe auteur who makes independent films the old fashioned way: no budget, static camera, a script that telegraphs its tiny, paste gem ironies.
  18. Angel Eyes
    A cumbersome dud, grows draggier with each new revelation.
  19. Moulin Rouge!
    The result is a musical that substitutes irony for pop passion, misanthropic disjointedness for lyrical flow.
  20. Shrek
    Lives happily ever after because it's such a feisty but good natured embrace of the inner ogre in everyone.
  21. Startup.com
    For sheer dramatic wallop outpowers virtually every fiction feature I've seen this year.
  22. The King Is Alive
    Janet McTeer displays Amazonian power while Jennifer Jason Leigh tears into her role as a high maintenance creature with a ferocity that leaves little room for her usual acting tics.

      Ty Burr
    The Trumpet of the Swan
    A pox on the man's (E.B. White) memory.
  24. A Knight's Tale
    Laddish, one joke, genre scrambling rock & roll fairy tale.
  25. About Adam
    Cotton candy story with an acrid aftertaste.
  26. The Young Girl and the Monsoon
    When Kinney and Muth share scenes, it's hard not to get caught up.
  27. Under the Sand
    Ozon specializes in dissecting the vulnerability, erotic longing, and garbled intentions with which people regularly rub up against one another.
  28. Eureka
    Slow -- sometimes maddeningly, soporifically so.
  29. The Mummy Returns
    The actors themselves are more rip roaring and full of spunk than in their first outing.

    Deuces Wild
    If you put the scripts for ''West Side Story,'' ''Mean Streets,'' and ''The Warriors'' in a blender, you might wind up with something like Deuces Wild, a preposterously melodramatic paean to gang-member teens in Brooklyn circa 1958.
