  1. Looney Tunes: Back in Action
    There are flashes of wit -- Speedy Gonzales muttering about political correctness and an arty chase through the Louvre. But there is also random flatulence, a.k.a. the stink of desperation.
  2. Zoolander
    In theory, Zoolander is ''Pret-à-Porter'' on laughing gas. In practice, however, the movie is an ill-fitting suit of gags, too long in the crotch even at 90 minutes.
  3. Anything Else
    With every recycled piece of business -- which is to say, every scene in Anything Else -- the distance widens between Allen and the elusive audience he pessimistically chases. He has never seemed less in touch with his own real, pulsing, 21st-century city.
  4. Wrong Turn
    A blood-simple backwoods spatterfest that makes shameless use of the same old antirural moonshine Hollywood's been bootlegging for decades.
  5. Bulletproof Monk
    As ungainly in its jammed-together East-meets-West-ness as Steven Seagal in a yoga pose.
  6. Simon Birch
    It allows for little of the dark and funny in Irving's picaresque morality fable. No room! Not with the buckets of bathos thrown our way, substituting for mass-market spiritual uplift!
  7. Jeepers Creepers
    Turns into a grab-bag freak show as desperate as it is arbitrary.
  8. My First Mister
    Brooks guards the movie from overheating in a surfeit of warmedy.
  9. Soul Plane
    If you're looking for comic insights beyond the well-documented ass differential between whites and blacks, well, golly, you ought to try another carrier.
  10. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    The movie is based on a 1999 series of comic books by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill, but the original tone of deadpan historical audacity has been replaced by a kind of wax-museum literalness.

    Urban Legend
    Proficiently filmed and utterly uninspired.

    Ravenous
    Oddball period tale of cannibalistic shenanigans.
  13. How Stella Got Her Groove Back
    Bassett's natural dramatic fierceness, so powerful when incited to action, is at odds with the knee-weakening sexual surrender required by the story.
  14. Hope Floats
    The pond is so shallow in this wan romance that there's no room for anything to float.
  15. Harvard Man
    A characteristically engorged and sloppy coming-of-age movie from the filmmaker (''Harvard '66'') who, in his body of work, indulges his fantasies as fetishistically as other men finger their cigars.
  16. Mean Machine
    After too many ''Full Monty''s, it has come to look like nothing so much as a coy ritual of emasculation.
  17. Fools Rush In
    The result is a stilted culture clash and a lot of monochromatically conflicted facial expressions from Perry before he's thawed by the love of an ethnic woman.
  18. 8MM
    The whole movie turns into a violent, pointless, torture-or-be-tortured chase.
  19. Love Me If You Dare
    The award for the most annoying character to appear in a movie so far this year turns out to be a tie: It goes to both of the oh-so-swankly tormented romantic mischief makers of Love Me if You Dare.
  20. Hulk
    A comic-book superhero has seldom squandered so much screen time being conflicted about his heritage and destiny -- and I don't mean conflicted in a sexy, Wolverine-y, ''X-Men'' way, either; a big-budget comic-book adaptation has rarely felt so humorless and intellectually defensive about its own pulpy roots.
  21. First Daughter
    The role of a poised daddy's girl is a dull one for Holmes, who looks pained, in a nonspecific way, throughout her capers; the movie itself, with a screenplay by Jessica Bendinger and Kate Kondell, is a dull one for director Forest Whitaker.

    Orgazmo
    Dian Bachar, as Joe's pint-size sidekick, sounds the only note of sly wit; the unidentified stripper playing T-Rex delivers the only real shock value. The movie could have used a lot more of both.
  23. Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
    There's nothing overtly better or worse about this sequel. But the ''kids'' look to be pushing 30 now -- an awkward age for theme-park performers.
  24. A Slipping-Down Life
    Taylor does that thing she does when she whispers as if she has just discovered speech; Pearce enjoys himself doing his own singing, and embracing grunge.
  25. Daredevil
    Daredevil is the sort of half-assed, visually lackadaisical potboiler that makes you rue the day that comic-book franchises ever took over Hollywood.

    Mallrats
    A hopelessly stupid movie that should appeal to baked couch potatoes everywhere.
  27. A Night at the Roxbury
    The lame-o aspects of the whole campy setup are still lame-o.
  28. Scooby-Doo
    The antics involving ghosts, chases, and burping that divert the small fry don't mix with the jokey, tribute-band dialogue spouting from the Mystery, Inc. gang.
  29. Father and Son
    Sokurov's new companion piece (to "Mother and Son"), has the tedium without the trance.
  30. Chelsea Walls
    The ethos of the Chelsea Hotel may shape Hawke's artistic aspirations, but he hasn't yet coordinated his own DV poetry with the Beat he hears in his soul.
