    Shaft
    It's not easy to forgive a movie that so ungratefully wastes its potential with such a poorly structured plot, but Shaft has a few redeeming moments up its sleeve after all.
  2. Jesus' Son
    Grim stuff, filled with great sorrow and tragedy, but it's never maudlin or weepy.
  3. Marcel Proust's Time Regained
    Time Regained is not really worth the time it takes to see it.
  4. Butterfly Tongues
    An exploration of how fear and mob rule can poison even the purest of souls.
    • Miami Herald
  5. Boys and Girls
    May be among the most excruciating mainstream movies to spew forth from Hollywood in years.
    • Miami Herald
  6. Groove
    But there's nothing in this amateurish movie that the opening credits of last year's "Go" didn't do better.

  7. Sunshine
    For filmgoers not interested in history, Sunshine might be a three-hour investment they may not want to undertake.
  8. Gone in Sixty Seconds
    In the end, for all its auto-erotic flair, Gone in 60 Seconds is missing a money shot.
    • Miami Herald
  9. Big Momma's House
    The kind of stupid-funny movie that should only be seen in a crowded theater.
    • Miami Herald
  10. Shanghai Noon
    Chan's string of chop-socky films were never boring. Shanghai Noon is.
  11. Better Living Through Circuitry
    While Circuitry has its pleasures, it's not as intelligent as "Modulations," a previous documentary on the subject, and its focus is a bit skewed.

  12. Passion of Mind
    Berliner deserves something better, as do all the actors -- even Moore, who's starting to look very interesting and European.
  13. Kikujirô no natsu
    This genial, lyrical little movie seems guaranteed to broaden Kitano's fan base in the United States.
  14. 8 ½ Women
    With its convoluted pretentiousness, heavy use of metaphors and obscure references to art, fails to maintain interest.
    • Miami Herald
  15. Mission: Impossible II
    Suggests that Cruise the actor may have outgrown this kind of stuff.
  16. Dinosaur
    Unfortunately, disappointingly dull, a lumbering Bore-us-saurus of a movie.
    • Miami Herald
  17. Cirque du Soleil: Journey of Man
    Too bad Journey of Man, as a whole, is never as consistently compelling as that one visually arresting scene (with Yves Décoste and Marie-Laure Mesnage)
    • Miami Herald
  18. Small Time Crooks
    Allen's most amiable, breeziest comedy in years.
  19. Road Trip
    Plot? There is no plot. You want plot, go read "War and Peace."
  20. Kadosh
    It moves slowly, but you suspect that is the way of life in Mea Shearim, the closed quarters of a group that triggered Gitai's respect and our curiosity.
  21. Center Stage
    Comes off as an episode of "Beverly Hills, 90210" where, instead of spoiled rich kids, the characters are all ballet stars in the making.
    • Miami Herald
  22. Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000
    A sluggish, soporific dud, the dreariest big-budget science-fiction adventure since "Dune."
    • Miami Herald
  23. Human Traffic
    Its lingering hangover, however, is decidedly pleasant.

    Up at the Villa
    A refined, tasteful film about pure, hard lust.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    I Dreamed of Africa
    A wisp of a movie that dissipates the moment you leave the theater.
    • Miami Herald
  26. Michael Jordan to the Max
    What makes this documentary worth seeing is the sensational courtside footage taken with IMAX cameras, which bring a whole new way of seeing the game to fans who don't get to sit in Jack Nicholson's section.
    • Miami Herald
  27. Gladiator
    Lacks emotional depth and sweep -- but the movie still delivers the type of rousing, large-scale adventure that marked the best films of its kind
    • Miami Herald
  28. The Big Kahuna
    Spacey, whose precise command of enunciation and diction, along with his wicked, reptilian charm, are strong enough to carry the show.
    • Miami Herald
  29. Frequency
    A very complicated movie. It is also pretty wonderful.
    • Miami Herald
  30. Bossa Nova
    Romantic comedy that softens your date into giving you that first kiss. It's not much more than that -- it's flawed and somewhat unfocused.
