  1. Timeline
    Special kudos go to Walker, for his dead-on impression of a time-traveling 2x4, and the perpetually hysterical O'Connor, who delivers one of the most grating performances in history.
  2. Sweet Home Alabama
    Unbearable were Witherspoon not such a genuinely attractive performer.
  3. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
    The magnolias in Callie Khouri's fried green movie look limp.
  4. The Time Machine
    Deliberately quaint and old-fashioned, a once-over-slightly exercise in nostalgic wonder directed by the British-born great-grandson of H.G. Wells, who treats the spirit of his ancestor's novel with literal-minded fealty.
  5. P.S.
    The movie implodes, with each actor less vivid than he or she ought to be and each character less connected to the others than necessary for such an arbitrary plot.
  6. Riding the Bullet
    Falls short of its source.
  7. The Replacement Killers
    Between cycles of gunfights and glowering, Yun-Fat displays some of the dignity and suave good looks that account for his star status (without much chance to show his wit).
  8. I Spy
    TV's ''I Spy'' knew how to swing. The movie 'I Spy knows only how to scramble and string together moments of Murphy braggadocio and Wilson stoner-ocity, and the sweat shows.
    • 43 Metascore

    The Final Cut
    Quiet and sleepy.
  10. A Dirty Shame
    A Dirty Shame isn't dirty fun. It's the perv "Footloose."
    • 28 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Ghost Ship
    That creaking noise you hear in Ghost Ship is the rattling of countless plot skeletons that have sunk before.
  12. Suspect Zero
    The truth is, the freakiness kinda turns the director on, and he nearly strangles Suspect Zero with love.
  13. Dudley Do-Right
    The balance of inspired idiocy to hackneyed buffoonery is out of whack.
  14. The Other Side of the Bed
    While we can agree, for the sake of Iberian-American cinematic friendship, to go along with the whole simplified 1960s swinger premise and ''The Jackie Gleason Show'' choreography, we can also long for the comparatively nuanced 1990s swinger premise of ''Friends.''
  15. The Whole Ten Yards
    It's every bit as nonsensical and overitalicized a mess as ''The Whole Nine Yards.''
  16. Godsend
    The umpteenth recycled shocker about a mystical dark child with an aura of disaster.
  17. New Best Friend
    Dudsville.
  18. Dancer in the Dark
    Like a naive modernist hymn made by someone who doesn't, deep down, believe in hymns.
  19. The Dreamers
    In The Dreamers, Bertolucci wants to take us back to a more revolutionary time, but mostly he ends up recalling the faded revolution of his own glory days.
  20. The Affair of the Necklace
    Slipshod rather than sly. There's no fury to the movie, repressed or otherwise, which may be why when the Revolution arrives, it has all the impact of a guillotine with a deadly dull blade.
  21. The Man Who Cried
    There's only one performer in the movie who looks completely at ease with what he's doing: the horse.
  22. National Security
    The funny thing about Lawrence is he's often paired with a partner (e.g., ''Blue Streak,'' ''Bad Boys,'' etc.), yet has no aptitude for sharing the screen.
  23. Bandits
    A comedy that might have made Butch and Sundance jump off a cliff.
  24. Van Wilder
    Studded with Lampoon/John Hughes anachronisms.
  25. Thérèse: The Story of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
    Thérese unfolds with the sunlight-and-daffodils piety of a Sunday school slide show.
  26. When Will I Be Loved
    A ripe psychosexual compost heap of a drama that emits a provocative scent of rot and nonsense.
  27. Recess: School's Out
    Creator producers Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere have come up with some unexceptional children and underdeveloped adults.
  28. Waking the Dead
    Enough to anesthetize the living.
  29. Dances with Wolves
    The movie is so busy turning the Sioux characters into photogenic saints that it never quite allows them the complications of human beings.
  30. Masked and Anonymous
    Requires tremendous restraint not to conclude that this entertainingly apocalyptic mess is about nothing, since it may well be about everything. But I doubt it.
