  1. Over the Hedge
    The visual and verbal jokes are as bouncy and multilevel (hip height for adults, knee-slap-size for kids) as we have come, no doubt selfishly, to expect from DreamWorks.
  2. See No Evil
    As the killer, who plucks out his victims' eyeballs, Kane, the seven-foot bald WWE wrestler who's like a modern Tor Johnson, is so inept he's more cuddly than terrifying.
  3. The King
    Just about the only way to make sense of the film is to view its Christian family the way that the director, James Marsh, does -- with a contempt masquerading as social criticism. William Hurt, for one, deserves better.
  4. Lemming
    The movie, which has the slightly glum perversity of early Chabrol, is a dream of betrayal, with the squirmiest attack-of-nature tableau since Willard.
  5. Mouth to Mouth
    Writer-director Alison Murray picks at a hard, true hurt in this zombie melodrama of defloration, but nothing beyond that hurt really comes into focus.
  6. Twelve and Holding
    The young cast is terrific, giving the stories unearned weight.
  7. Poseidon
    It's a buoyant, old-wave disaster pic for a generation of well-conditioned thrill seekers charmed by the revelation that Richard Dreyfuss really is the Red Buttons of our day.
  8. Just My Luck
    Even in her dullest vehicle, Lindsay Lohan exudes an unfakable shine.
    • 53 Metascore

    Goal! The Dream Begins
    The cast, all around, is sterling. There's only one thing they don't need to bring back for the sequels, and that's the movie's appetite for every sports cliché there ever was.
  10. Dead Man's Shoes
    The imagery is exotically grungy and jumbled by flashback, but in the end, the picture's more pulp than juice.
  11. Giuliani Time
    The trouble with Giuliani Time is that Keating, as a filmmaker, wants to give power to the people but in his every perception he takes it away from them.
  12. Keeping Up with the Steins
    Garry Marshall takes over the movie (no mystery: his son, Scott, directed it), and Keeping Up With the Steins turns into a recipe to forget: chopped liver with ''heart.''
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Saving Shiloh
    Saving Shiloh is like one of those wholesome, old-fashioned films that you used to watch with your third-grade classmates during visits to the library.
  14. Wah-Wah
    An overdeveloped coming-of-age potboiler.
  15. Sketches of Frank Gehry
    Gehry sketches and free-associates about how he's not nearly the menschy aw-shucks pussycat from Canada he appears to be but rather a wily, complicated L.A. lion.
  16. Russian Dolls
    Russian Dolls captures how being a sexual cad has become an essential phase in the life of the modern male.
  17. Mission: Impossible III
    A gratifyingly clever, booby-trapped thriller that has enough fun and imagination and dash to more than justify its existence.
  18. Art School Confidential
    Insistently sullen, nihilistic, and successful to the point of smugness at transmitting buzzkill, Art School Confidential is the second collaboration between art-house cartoonist Daniel Clowes and director Terry Zwigoff.
  19. An American Haunting
    The unnecessarily famous cast for such a standard, creaking, fake-spooky ghost story (with Bible verses thrown in for good measure).
  20. Hoot
    Don't let the Carl Hiaasen pedigree fool you: Hoot is an Afterschool Special too crummy to give a hoot about.
  21. Down in the Valley
    As long as Norton plays Harlan as a modern-day Joe Buck, a kind of four-in-the-afternoon cowboy, we're drawn by his waltz of innocence and vagueness. But Down in the Valley turns out to be one of those films with a thick, gummy overlay of Western ''mythology.''
  22. The Proposition
    A pitiless yet elegiac Australian Western as caked with beauty as it is with blood.
  23. United 93
    Pulling the bandage of sentiment cleanly away from oozing concepts like ''heroism'' and ''our nation's war on terror'' in the aftermath of recent wounds, here's a drama about the most politically charged crisis of our time that grants the dignity of autonomy to every soul involved.
  24. Stick It
    A deliriously, defiantly unfocused headrush, Stick It is primarily an exercise in exercise.
  25. Akeelah and the Bee
    Blessed with excellent turns by Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne, this feel-gooder revels in its hip-to-be-square hyperliteracy, and neatly exceeds its own PSA-ness, practically amounting to a black, preteen "Good Will Hunting."
  26. RV
    As Williams ricochets between playing submissive soft-drink executive tethered to the whims of a hysterical boss and pathetic dad at the wheel, trying to cajole his family into vacation satisfaction, we can be excused for getting carsick.
  27. The Lost City
    Though the filmmaker's feel for his Cuban heritage is bone-deep, it's a glazed and dolorous movie - a depressed epic.
  28. Water
    The movie takes the form of a lackluster women's-prison picture.
  29. Lady Vengeance
    "Old Boy's" vivid star Choi Min-sik plays a terrible schoolteacher -- yet another damned soul in Park's inflammatory, inimitable movie inventory of hell on earth.
  30. Army of Shadows
    The picture was made in 1969 and is only now being released in the U.S., in a beautiful restoration supervised by original cinematographer Pierre Lhomme.
