  1. A Prairie Home Companion
    It's a breezy, homespun, relaxing thing...watching this laid-back picture feels, oddly enough, like a vacation from movies.
  2. The Heart of the Game
    A rousing and mesmerizing documentary.
  3. The Omen
    In a move reminiscent of Gus Van Sant's "Psycho," some shots are lifted directly from the original and much of the screenplay is identical.
  4. The Break-Up
    Listening to people bicker for almost two hours wears thin, especially when the comedy is never quite so funny as you had hoped it would be.
  5. Peaceful Warrior
    One of those blessedly rare films based on a self-help book, is remarkable in one sense: It prevents "The Lake House" and its magical mailbox from being the most ridiculous concept on screen this summer.
  6. Coastlines
    Much like the good westerns, Coastlines keeps you entertained throughout its two hours, which says a lot about Nunez's storytelling.
  7. X-Men: The Last Stand
    It's a disappointing chapter in what until now has been a highly entertaining, even thought-provoking series.
  8. An Inconvenient Truth
    Despite its scary warnings, the film ends on an upbeat note, unless of course you happen to be Hillary Clinton's campaign manager.
  9. The Da Vinci Code
    This laborious, talky, fleetingly engaging, ultimately silly picture is about as good a movie as anyone was ever going to wring from Dan Brown's inescapable bestseller.
  10. Over the Hedge
    Kids will eat it up, while solid voice work from William Shatner and Wanda Sykes should keep this borderline-feral toon from pushing adults over the edge.
  11. Lemming
    Holds enough interest throughout to keep you entertained -- unless you're afraid of mice.
  12. Poseidon
    Aside from a disturbingly graphic depiction of a drowning, there is also death by fire, electrocution and giant falling objects.
  13. Just My Luck
    Just My Luck is way too long for such a slight premise, and Lohan, so appealing in Mean Girls, is years too young for the part.
  14. Goal! The Dream Begins
    An unknown commodity to anyone who doesn't follow telenovelas, Becker is sure to be a big star and has already signed on for two sequels. Apart from being scorching hot, he's enormously sympathetic in dramatic scenes.
  15. Keeping Up with the Steins
    Director Scott Marshall and screenwriter Mark Zakarin pander to Jewish viewers the way Andy Garcia's "The Lost City" panders to Cuban Americans.
  16. Wah-Wah
    Wah-Wah's characters are wonderfully human and flawed and still capable of stirring empathy, which is appealing. But in the end, the film isn't saying much at all.
  17. Russian Dolls
    The cast of renegades is as appealing as ever, and you'd only wish that the fictional folks of "Friends" or the cast of "Real World" were so free and nonjudgmental.
  18. Mission: Impossible III
    Big and fast and silly, but it's never dumb, and it's certainly never boring, either. The summer movie onslaught has begun on a high note.
  19. Art School Confidential
    Art School Confidential, the first disappointment from director Terry Zwigoff, is all glum, dour cynicism.
  20. Hoot
    A filmmaker like John Sayles ("Sunshine State") who shares Hiaasen's issue-conscious outlook might have framed the lesson a bit more eloquently. But Shriner blows it.
  21. Down in the Valley
    Down in the Valley becomes increasingly harder to believe as it goes along, with people behaving in ways that strain credibility.
  22. The Proposition
    The Proposition leaves you shell-shocked.
  23. United 93
    There's nothing about United 93 that qualifies as entertainment in the traditional sense: It is an unpleasant, wrenching experience, which is just as it should be.
  24. The Lost City
    Falls far short of the sweep, complexity and passion it seeks.
  25. Water
    Lurking just beneath Water's serene, storybook surface is an unmissable, defiant passion.
  26. Three Times
    Politics in Three Times is as subtle as the stories being told. The film is probably too slow, too silent and too long for most audiences. But look beyond the quietness, and you'll discover a three-gem jewel.
  27. American Dreamz
    It's a redundant comedy, like hearing the same tired joke for the 100th time.
  28. The Sentinel
    The Sentinel isn't nearly as slick as it must have looked on the page. Those zingers are perfect fodder for a movie preview, but they just don't lead anywhere interesting on-screen.
  29. Stolen
    A captivating documentary.
  30. The Wild
    Janeane Garofalo is all wrong as the giraffe, whom the animators contort into all manner of weird positions so she can share the frame with pint-size love interest Benny the squirrel (Jim Belushi).
