  1. About a Boy
    The summer movie season has barely begun, and already we have its first big surprise.
  2. Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
    A triumph of technology over humanity, and if it falls short of a completely fulfilling experience, it also achieves the kind of primal emotion movies were invented for: wonder.
  3. Ultimate X: The Movie
    Quibbles aside, Ultimate X zips by speedily and is rad fun for sports fans and sedentary folks alike.
  4. Unfaithful
    Comes off curiously flat.
  5. The New Guy
    Anyone who wants to enjoy himself at a good movie about a high school geek who undergoes a transformation should go see "'Spider-Man" again instead.
  6. The Lady and the Duke
    The Lady and the Duke is not about the revolution. It's an intimate story of a woman's perspective during a dramatic event in world history.
    • 66 Metascore

    A Shot at Glory
    Registers as a more scenic "Hoosiers" with rowdier fans.
  8. The Mystic Masseur
    Though difficult to understand at times, the language -- a combination of local patois and the characters' particular Indian accent -- is as lush as the cinematography.
  9. Warm Water Under a Red Bridge
    A rather luminous movie on the power of love.
  10. Hollywood Ending
    There's a mean little Hollywood satire squirreled away within Hollywood Ending, but you have to look hard to find it.
  11. Spider-Man
    What distinguishes Spider-Man from most other comic book movies is that the film is at its most engaging when its hero is out of costume.
  12. Sade
    Is it about a moment in history and how the life of a sexual predator fits into that moment? Or is it just about a director's sexual fantasy? The answers are somewhat fuzzy.
  13. Life or Something Like It
    Pseudo-profound fluff.
  14. Dogtown and Z-Boys
    Raucous look at an equally raucous phenomenon.
  15. The Salton Sea
    Strikes out toward freakishly original territory after all. Fans of the off-beat, your movie has arrived.
  16. Enigma
    The idea of cracking a secret message from the enemy during war is thrilling; making the process interesting to watch is more problematic.
  17. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
    Vardalos made the Portokaloses so funny they'll make your own family seem tame.
  18. The Scorpion King
    The good news about The Scorpion King is that The Rock turns out to be a charismatic, ingratiating screen presence.
  19. Murder by Numbers
    In Murder by Numbers, though, even Schroeder can't keep his own boredom from showing.
  20. Nine Queens
    But for all the duplicitous minds playing games with each other on the screen, Nine Queens' best con artist turns out to be Bielinsky himself -- and his target is the audience.
  21. World Traveler
    Crudup is about as effective as anyone could be in the dreary World Traveler, but he can't keep this shallow, pretentious film from wallowing in banality and staggering self-indulgence.
  22. Human Nature
    The best stuff in Human Nature comes early, while the movie is still spry and daring --Then the film runs out of ideas, repetition sets in and so does boredom.
  23. Changing Lanes
    Loses its nerve in the final minutes, relying on a series of contrivances to arrive at an unconvincingly pat, happy ending. The story begged for a darker, more biting resolution.
  24. Frailty
    It's the cinematic equivalent of a good page-turner, and even if it's nonsense, its claws dig surprisingly deep.
  25. The Cat's Meow
    For all its charms, sometimes feels as self-obsessed as the characters it slyly mocks.
  26. The Sweetest Thing
    It's an extremely raunchy hybrid of "Bridget Jones's Diary."
  27. The Other Side of Heaven
    The film is supposed to be about tolerance, but the only acceptance comes in terms of how the islanders accept the Mormon teachings. Somehow, that doesn't quite feel divine.
  28. High Crimes
    The biggest offense in the somewhat unimaginative but serviceable legal thriller High Crimes is that the venerable Morgan Freeman simply does not get enough screen time, and when he's up there, he doesn't have enough to do.
  29. Big Trouble
    Timing is key in a comedy like this, and Sonnenfeld keeps everyone and everything clicking. The pacing is swift and the laughs are steady.
  30. Van Wilder
    This utter waste of time has next-to-nothing to do with the infinitely wittier golden-age National Lampoon movies.
