  1. Collateral Damage
    Schwarzenegger doesn't at all seem too old for the part; his bulging muscles still fill the action-hero's suit just fine. It's what he's doing that is tired and, maybe, played out.
  2. Scotland, Pa.
    Shakespeare purists may scoff and wonder what the point is, but Morrissette would probably shrug and say ``Why not?''
  3. Rollerball
    Plentiful helpings of dreadful acting, confusing action cinematography, choppy editing and embarrassing dialogue, with the added bonus of a plot almost as dumb as that of the original film.
  4. Birthday Girl
    Won't make you forget Kidman's better work, but it's not a film you long to excise from your memory.

  5. Storytelling
    Lack of any real substance.
  6. Maelstrom
    Despite its stylistic flaws, the acting and the magic of the story make Maelstrom a different kind of film.
  7. The Son's Room
    While the film is undeniably melancholy, Moretti's trademark light touch keeps it from becoming overbearing.
  8. The Count of Monte Cristo
    An exhilarating visualization of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel of betrayal and vengeance.

  9. Beijing Bicycle
    Though beautiful at times, it doesn't reach the level of poetry of either de Sica's "Thief" or Lou's "River."
  10. The Mothman Prophecies
    Better than its trailers indicate. Forget the seemingly silly Chapstick moment: Any film that sends a cold shock to your system is doing something right.

  11. A Walk to Remember
    The film is well-scrubbed of anything resembling sexuality, more a nonthreatening fairy tale than the romantic drama it aims to be. Its appeal flies straight to the hearts of 13-year-old girls.

    Snow Dogs
    A Disney family film, with all that the term implies: It's playful, corny, silly, adventuresome and enjoyable.

  13. Italian for Beginners
    Dogme films don't have to be bleak to be effective. They can be -- imagine! -- fun. Scherfig may have taken the discipline in an entirely new and welcome direction.
  14. Orange County
    Even if the whole of Orange County is less than the sum of its parts, Jack Black is not the only thing to like about this movie.
  15. Brotherhood of the Wolf
    Lacks the one element that the filmmakers were most desperately aiming for: A genuine sense of fun.

  16. Impostor
    The kind of schlocky, disposable time-killer that once might have starred Jean-Claude Van Damme, The Impostor is a relentlessly dull chase flick with an inexplicably high-toned cast.
  17. Black Hawk Down
    An overwhelmingly tactile experience. Scott brings you so close into the action, the grit and smoke and blood seem to spill off the screen and into your head.

  18. I Am Sam
    There's only one excuse for the sentimental and ham-handed I Am Sam, and it's not to tout the rights of the mentally disabled.
    • Miami Herald
  19. Dark Blue World
    Dark Blue World's warm story and beautiful photography almost hits the mark, and it has a great ending.
  20. Monster's Ball
    Profoundly hopeful and optimistic film.
  21. Gosford Park
    So deliciously absorbing and well done.

    Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
    The charm of Jimmy Neutron is that it's both futuristic enough to intrigue kids and retro enough to hook their parents.
    • Miami Herald
  23. How High
    How High is not a particularly good movie, but then again it's not trying to be. It's a project by two B-list rappers seeking to extend their music careers in the way of stars like Will Smith, Ice Cube and Tupac Shakur.

  24. A Song for Martin
    Doesn't sugarcoat the painful realities of Alzheimer's or the difficult decisions faced by relatives of its victims, but by film's end, its clear-eyed melancholy winds up feeling strangely uplifting.
  25. The Majestic
    Winds up suffocating you with its aura of bogus, store-bought nostalgia.
    • Miami Herald
  26. Joe Somebody
    The best scenes in the movie belong to James Belushi.
    • Miami Herald
  27. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
    Jackson's dazzling vision turns the story into a real movie-movie -- one that, unlike too many fantasy films today, is genuinely transporting.
  28. Piñero
    A biopic that is as messy as the life it details.
    • Miami Herald
  29. Iris
    First and foremost, Iris is a magnificent story about the enduring bond between two eccentric, astounding souls who somehow managed to find each other and hold on for dear life.
  30. Lantana
    There's some genuine suspense in Lantana, including one unbearably tense moment that is worthy of Hitchcock. But the movie's most unnerving aspect is the way in which it suggests true happiness may be impossible to regain once you've lost it.
