  1. Dragonfly
    Preposterous-for-no-good-reason supernatural tale.
  2. Sphere
    Stripped of the pleasures of terror, flattened of grandeur (with a tacked-on coda that fairly groans with storytelling defeat), the movie sinks from the weight of its own heavyhandedness.
  3. Envy
    Leaves you with the dismaying sensation that Levinson, who should probably be off making his own version of ''The Player,'' has instead crafted a comedy of self-loathing, burying himself in a movie that deserves to be Vapoorized.

    Woman Thou Art Loosed
    Unfortunately, it's impossible to tell from this confused mess (costarring Jakes as himself) what that message is.
  5. 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.

      Ty Burr
    The Trumpet of the Swan
    A pox on the man's (E.B. White) memory.

    Instinct
    Never mind that the film's portrayal of the mentally ill is on a par with "There's Something About Mary" -- the clumsy moral that we were all better off as hunters and gatherers couldn't be sillier.
  8. Digimon: Digital Monsters
    Aa shockingly chintzy spin-off of Fox's post ''Pokémon'' cartoon hit.
  9. Glitter
    It's doubtful that even a real actress could have triumphed over the rusty tinsel of Glitter, a hapless, retro-'80s ''Star Is Born.''
  10. Gone in Sixty Seconds
    Eventually, the senses jam and a mental lube job is in order.
  11. A Man Apart
    Sour, sadistic, and stale from sitting on the shelf since the pre-''XXX'' era -- an era I'm starting to miss.
  12. Stealing Harvard
    It doesn't help that most of the jokes (like a rip-off of ''There's Something About Mary'''s dog-in-the-crotch bit) are themselves stolen.
  13. Kangaroo Jack
    A desert of shrill juvenile jokes and clanging chase sequences.
  14. Basic
    Another depressingly empty action thriller.
  15. FeardotCom
    The film squanders every opportunity (and international-coproduction cent) on by now imitative Nine Inch Nails-video-style visual Goth-goo, and, scarily, forgets to input a plot or script that makes any sense.
  16. Taxi
    An action-choked dud in which even the closing outtakes barely deserve to be left on the cutting-room floor?
  17. Never Been Kissed
    Labored miscalculation of a teen-trend comedy.
  18. Fight Club
    If, as Fincher has said, this movie is supposed to be funny, then the joke's on us.
  19. Man on Fire
    The movie's mortal failing is echoed in the religious medal Pita gives Creasy in a gift of innocent, uplifting love: Finding heft or coherence within all the lugubrious agitation is a lost cause worthy of St. Jude.

    Blade
    The action involves lots of second-rate martial-arts choreography (made even less thrilling by the video's pan-and-scan job), while the psychological conflicts are filled with unconvincing angst.
  21. Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000
    Just a lumbering, poorly photographed piece of derivative sci-fi drivel, full of grunting extras scampering around in animal pelts and more dank, trash-strewn sets than I ever care to see again.
  22. Brother
    Critics tend to fawn over the Japanese director-star Takeshi Kitano (a.k.a. Beat Takeshi), but am I the only one who finds his films impossible to make heads or tails of?
  23. Out Cold
    About as arousing as an icy shower.
  24. A Walk to Remember
    Just because A Walk to Remember is shrewd enough to activate girlish tear ducts doesn't mean it's good enough for our girls. They're willing to buy tickets; why not honor their wits as well as their wallets?
  25. Bad Santa
    Isn't up to much of anything besides pretending that swearwords and snot-nosed insults, served up by Santa with an almost institutional monotony, aren't just naughty. They're -- big joke! -- incorrect.
  26. The Cat in the Hat
    Someone (Myers?) came up with the bright idea of turning the Cat in the Hat into the worst Vegas nightclub spritzer of 1958. He's become a furry version of Rip Taylor: a walking, talking vaudeville idiot box.
  27. Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
    Processed comedy chop suey.
  28. New York Minute
    The movie may be more bogus than a Gucci bag for sale on a Fifth Avenue sidewalk, but at least the backgrounds are real.
  29. The United States of Leland
    The United States of Leland is tedious yet infuriating, since its characters, all of whom seem to have emerged from a screenwriter's manual, are like exhibits in a thesis meant to indict the middle class for the crime of its collective dysfunction.
  30. Little Black Book
    The big climax isn't climactic, just hysterical and incoherent. Murphy, with her bug-eyed, love-me mugging, is simply too slight and gawky to play the Everygirl.
