  1. The Muse
    An embarrassment--a fairy-tale showbiz satire that seems to defang itself, scene by scene.
  2. Held Up
    In the end, even Foxx is drowned out by the parade of one-note supporting characters.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Duets
    A leaden piece of whimsy that looks for profound life lessons among a group of karaoke bar aficionados.
  4. Sade
    Achieves the near-impossible: It turns the Marquis de Sade into a dullard.
  5. 20 Dates
    Raging ego aside, the penny-ante hucksterism of his I'm-going-on-dates-to-get-famous-making-a-movie-about-dates approach is too cloying and opportunistic to bear.
  6. Trapped
    The most frightening sight, though, is that of Theron and Bacon, good actors trapped in the muck of making a living.
  7. Lucie Aubrac
    Manages to take great characters and a great plot and leach them of all blood, terror, and excitement.
  8. Till Human Voices Wake Us
    Petroni takes the poem at face value, turning diaphanous literary imagery opaque and literal.
  9. Original Sin
    Aspires to blasphemy but achieves only banality.
  10. Outside Providence
    This unexceptional 1970s coming-of-age story is neither outrageous, new, nor comedic.
    • 14 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Rollerball
    Rollerball was trash even back in 1975, but in some small way it was ahead of its time. The new version just makes you feel like you've been watching a lame late-night rerun while stuck in a thunderdome.
  12. The Mod Squad
    Presents undercover law enforcement less as a profession than as an accessory, an excuse to pout and glower chicly, to stand around in nightclubs acting like a sullen version of the Last American Rebel.
  13. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    A flat, heebie jeebies thriller.
  14. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
    There's precious little in Luc Besson's solemnly inflated, battle-weary historical epic.
  15. The Shipping News
    A limp and sodden downer.
  16. Boxing Helena
    Soft-core trash with a tent-show hook.
  17. The Opposite of Sex
    Traffics in the coyly blasphemous, aren't-we-dysfunctional family-disaster chic that has become the single most annoying trend in independent filmmaking.
  18. 200 Cigarettes
    A gaggle of hip actors squander their gifts in this unfunny, out-of-control comedy.
  19. I Am Sam
    The dumbing down of low-IQ sentimentality.
  20. Deliver Us from Eva
    Union, who looks so chic and can talk so bitchy-funny, doesn't so much establish a character as roll out a series of attitudes. That's all she's called on to do. That's all anyone is called on to do: Be very tame, and make much ado about zilch.
  21. The Experiment
    Rigid, airless, and browbeatingly repetitive, Das Experiment is an overly didactic piece of thesis hectoring; it's like ''Lord of the Flies'' set in a Skinner box.
  22. Hard Rain
    The film suggests Titanic in a giant wading pool.
  23. All About the Benjamins
    Something puddles to nothing in this relentless Miami sun.
  24. The Visual Bible: The Gospel of John
    Altogether too faithful to its source. The makers of this ponderously middlebrow Canadian production have re-created the Gospel of John in its pristine entirety -- word for word, miracle for miracle.
  25. Inspector Gadget
    The image of this kitchen-magician dream robot comes at us in little jolts and spasms that have the zappy, self-contained rhythm of a fast-food tie-in commercial.
  26. Like Mike
    Like Mike has the synthetically wrapped pseudo-charm of a perfunctory ''Flubber'' sequel.
  27. Kingdom Come
    What slays them in the second balcony, though, flattens on the screen.
  28. 54
    There's a glimmer of what the film might have been, though, in the performance of Mike Myers, who plays Studio co-owner Steve Rubell, with his sweaty thinning hair and look-at-me-I-got-class Lacoste shirts, as a vengeful gargoyle presiding over a kingdom of beauty he can rule but never join.
  29. Here on Earth
    Love means never having to say you're recycling plot material.
  30. The Object of My Affection
    So riddled with cultural stereotypes, woe-is-me neurotic mopiness, and glib therapeutic compassion that by the end all it leaves you with is a waxy buildup of falseness.
