  1. The Five Senses
    Our senses may be the stuff of drama, but not when they're treated as nice and neat as this.
  2. Chuck & Buck
    The most resonant and haunting movie I've seen this year.
  3. X-Men
    When the film version isn't assaulting you with gizmos, it's an awkward, depersonalized piece of hackwork.
  4. But I'm a Cheerleader
    Poisonously smug, one-joke indie comedy.
  5. The Kid
    A parable for adults -- particularly men.
  6. Scary Movie
    The whole thing wobbles, like the garish, trashy, sexy shoes the young folks are wearing this summer on their way (in droves) to movie theaters, intent on abandoning themselves to pleasurable mindlessness.
  7. Shower
    Without ever dipping into indignity among wet, half-naked men, Shower sparkles with joy.
  8. The Decline of Western Civilization Part III
    Unlike the first two Decline films, this one is only tangentially concerned with music.
  9. The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle
    The problem with the movie isn't that it sells out Rocky and Bullwinkle -- it's that it can't keep up with them.
  10. The Perfect Storm
    Petersen gives us monumental images of waves and rain and wind, but the editing is so choppy that the images don't build and crest.
  11. Trixie
    Torturously whimsical gumshoe caper.
  12. The Patriot
    It's a death-wish revenge thriller posing as a lavishly pastoral historical epic.
  13. Me, Myself & Irene
    Every instance of gleeful bad taste is timed and positioned for maximum, liberating laugh value.
  14. Praise
    Heavier on mood than incident, but its vision of a doomed erotic power war has a lurching authenticity.
  15. Chicken Run
    A delightful, perceptive, funny, detail-perfect fable.
  16. Titan A.E.
    Titan A.E. is ''Star Wars'' pulped and mashed into flavorless kiddie corn.
  17. Shaft
    If nothing else, Shaft is spicy fast food.
  18. Boys and Girls
    This ill-fitting movie was mail-ordered from an out-of-date catalog of teen-com stereotypes.
  19. Butterfly Tongues
    Diverges to become something quite powerfully unnerving and guilt-ridden.
  20. Humanité
    It ought to be seen, because it's a work of moral and spiritual mystery.
  21. Jesus' Son
    Another grotty drama about junkie love? Well, yes...I make an exception for Jesus' Son.
  22. Love's Labour's Lost
    Too many moments of evident labor weigh this clever production down. To quote the playwright: ''Your wit's too hot, it speeds too fast, 'twill tire.''
  23. Groove
    What's infectious about Groove is the friendly, almost innocent way that its brat pack of digital-age bohemians seek liberation in a world where there is nothing left to rebel against.
  24. Sunshine
    While inevitably oversimplified, is never less than engrossing.
  25. Gone in Sixty Seconds
    Eventually, the senses jam and a mental lube job is in order.
  26. American Pimp
    Supple and engrossing, a liquid-smooth street-rap testimonial.
  27. Big Momma's House
    Lawrence is so ON that he appears to be gunning for clockwork bursts of audience approval.
  28. Running Free
    This may be the first talking-animal movie in which the critter hero seems to have been body-snatched by a commentator from C-SPAN.
  29. Grass
    This jovial tour through changing attitudes toward cannibis is so plugged into pothead logic that the opening credits are rerun at the end.
  30. American Virgin
    This ''satire'' of triple-X raunch and ''Jerry Springer'' sleaze starts off at a pitch of preening dementia and just grows more hysterical from there.
