  1. Pokémon: The Movie 2000
    Any grown men and women who pay to see the movie face a harrowing ordeal.
  2. Training Day
    There's no denying that Washington can play a rococo villain with flip ebullience, but I fervently wish he were doing it in a movie that paid more than lip service to the real world.

    Thirteen Ghosts
    The result is a Halloween movie in horror limbo.

    The Out-of-Towners
    Don't hate yourself for chuckling at this sweetly anachronistic update of the 1970 Neil Simon comedy.
  5. Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London
    At bottom, there's just too much spy in young Cody, and too little kid. The writers might've taken (another) page from the ''Spy Kids'' playbook and infused the action with youth relevance.
  6. Vampires
    The goons themselves, though, look rather chic, flying through the air in Galliano-goes-to-hell garments straight out of Vampire Vogue.
  7. Little Lili
    Because the talk never gets beyond statement making, and because the characters emit none of Chekhov's radiantly lived-in soulfulness, there's plenty of time to appreciate the sun-kissed landscape.
  8. Exorcist: The Beginning
    The new movie is a dusty piñata stuffed with omens and not much more.
  9. Jeepers Creepers II
    Writer-director Victor Salva squanders all of his original movie's not-entirely-awfulness and bumbles into the realm of unintentional comedy.
  10. Grind
    Supplies stretches of actual skating footage by pros doubling for the stars. It's in these moments, freed from the earthbound pull of its market-tested components, that the movie briefly relaxes into the sheer thrilling audacity of flying into the air propelled by a board on wheels.
  11. Save the Last Dance
    This wan, formulaic teen movie from ''Metro'' director Thomas Carter is afraid to pump up the volume on its own interracial, hip hop Romeo and Juliet story, lest it challenge even one sedated viewer or disturb the peace.
  12. Bubba Ho-tep
    Don Coscarelli, writer-director of the logy, fatuous Bubba Ho-Tep, is trying to will a cult movie into existence -- which, of course, never works.
  13. America's Sweethearts
    No excuse for the bitterness and crudity in America's Sweethearts -- a noxious combination that erodes the 1930s and '40s screwball-comedy armature on which this mirthless movie is based.
  14. Treasure Planet
    Quite honestly, you could nap for an hour and not miss a thing, but when the crew finally makes it to the glowing piles of booty at Treasure Planet's core, the film unleashes some pleasing visual fireworks. That's where it should have started, not ended.
  15. Dreamcatcher
    The nightmare is that the live guys in this Dreamcatcher lose the battle the minute the mechanical worm turns.
  16. Jersey Girl
    For some four fifths of its length, Jersey Girl is as square as a turnpike-diner place mat.
  17. Queen of the Damned
    Maybe in a few years the incoherent gaudiness of this underperforming sequel to ''Interview With A Vampire'' -- will have transmuted into a kind of appreciable camp. Until that time, however, we're stuck with this damned production
  18. Birth
    When Kidman slithers into a bathtub with her young ''husband,'' the scene, in its soft-pedaled way, is the definition of exploitation: It appears to have been cooked up for no other purpose than to conjure creepy child-porn overtones.

    Bedazzled
    A little more script work, at the very least, should have gone into the manufacture of the black comedy Bedazzled.
  20. Rush Hour
    The two characters barely even have a relationship; they're a union of demographics--the "urban" market meets the slapstick-action market.
  21. The Replacements
    The incisive, close up photography by ''The Sixth Sense'''s Tak Fujimoto outclasses the story by yards.
  22. Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
    With no Jamie Lee Curtis as a volleying partner, though, Lohan's chipper energy is, like, so totally out of proportion given the colorless pliability of everyone around her.
  23. The Scandal
    Les Liaisons Dangereuses is such an elaborate and satisfying structure of deceit and salaciousness that every attempt I have seen to adapt it on film -- "Dangerous Liaisons," "Cruel Intentions," even the trashy 1959 Roger Vadim version -- has resulted in an entertainment of agreeable nasty elegance. Until now.
  24. Wild at Heart
    A lurid hodgepodge of the ''subversive'' and the secondhand, the movie lacks the primal pop pleasures of Lynch's best work.
  25. The Butterfly Effect
    Kutcher is the wrong actor to anchor a psychological freak-out.
  26. The Machinist
    Bale exists all too large under the circumstances, a well-fed actor playing at emaciation for the sake of a fiction about a character whose torment is as unreadable as his vertebrae are countable.
  27. Malibu's Most Wanted
    A send-up of rap personality in which no one actually has a personality. The joke, alas, is on the movie.
  28. Behind Enemy Lines
    We, the people, are meant to cheer in response, but the spirit isn't willing. War is hell, but so is peace -- at least when it comes to movies in a no-man's-land like this one.
  29. No Such Thing
    Hartley is trapped between sincerity and mock sincerity, and that all but dooms a filmmaker to slipping through the cracks.
  30. A Love Song for Bobby Long
    A poky dawdle of a Southern-style indie that would pass without notice but for John Travolta and Scarlett Johansson.
