  1. Rock Star
    Like the type of music it celebrates, Rock Star is just a lot of posing, adding up to very little.
  2. L.I.E.
    A mature, insightful and extremely well-acted study of a boy at a crossroads in his life, and a doomed, tortured man who, consciously or not, longs for some kind of redemption, before it's too late.
  3. O
    What O lacks is a sense of spontaneity: Despite its contemporary dialogue and manner, the movie can't overcome a nagging aura of artifice.
  4. Fighter
    Yet even when the bickering diminishes the impact of the story, Wiener himself makes Fighter another interesting story to come out of World War II atrocities.
  5. Tortilla Soup
    Much of the charm in Tortilla Soup comes from Elizondo as Martín. He plays the devoted patriarch so alluringly.
  6. Together
    This is a rare breed of crowd-pleaser: a big-hearted, generous movie that never patronizes the audience.
  7. Ghosts of Mars
    A horror/sci-fi/action mishmash that aims to be the kind of brainless timekiller once used to round out the bottom of a double bill at the drive-in.
  8. Happy Accidents
    Put in such an uncomfortable position, the audience needs something to fall back on, like chemistry between its stars. Here that's half-hearted at best.
  9. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
    The movie is sloppy and scattershot, and proud of it. It wears its slipshod, anything-for-a-laugh structure like a badge of honor: Smith is nothing if not self-deprecating.
  10. Bubble Boy
    Belongs to that genre of movie that works hard to achieve a certain twisted and demented wit.
  11. The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
    Hardly the first of Woody Allen's love letters to the good old days, but it's a high-spirited, entertaining one, falling along the same lines as "Radio Days."
  12. Innocence
    Innocence is a gentle love story, one that touches on an issue of great sensitivity -- sexuality in old age.
  13. Aberdeen
    A film of rare beauty, lifted by some of the best acting you may see in any film this year.
  14. Captain Corelli's Mandolin
    Never reaches this level of devastating loss despite its tragedies, but it's not the dismal bomb that much of the British press claims.
  15. American Outlaws
    The dumbest, most risible retelling ever made of the exploits of legendary bank robber Jesse James.
  16. Rat Race
    The movie is so cheerfully, furiously relentless, its contagious silliness wears you down.
  17. The Turandot Project
    The star is the coming together of East and West, and how art provides the medium.

  18. American Pie 2
    Doesn't make much sense on a story level, and it has a cheap, slapdash look that indicates no one behind the camera was interested in anything other than another fat payday.

    Osmosis Jones
    Classy voice work (intriguingly, the hero, heroine and villain are all voiced by black actors -- Chris Rock, Brandy and Laurence Fishburne)
  20. An American Rhapsody
    Rhapsody fails to completely hook you, perhaps because the events happen so quickly you barely have time to sort out the characters.
  21. The Others
    A fiendishly subtle horror movie, a goosebump-inducing exercise in suspense that uses your own imagination to scare you silly.
  22. The Deep End
    Swinton single-handedly carries The Deep End past its nagging ambiguities.
  23. Under solen
    Under the Sun doesn't intend to be dramatic, much less melodramatic. This beautiful film just wants to capture life's simplicity.
  24. Rush Hour 2
    Action and comedy are more impressive here than in the first film.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Princess Diaries
    If Andrews oozes regal poise and Hathaway radiates movie star allure -- and they do -- credit the actresses, not this flimsy fairy tale.
  26. Planet of the Apes
    Planet of the Apes is never quite boring -- the movie is constantly giving you something new to look at -- but it's still a disappointingly dull and underplotted ride.
  27. The Monkey's Mask
    McGillis, though, is the film's worst enemy. Her wooden attempts to recreate Kathleen Turner circa 1981 undermine too many scenes.
  28. Bread and Tulips
    It's all very sweet, but the film goes in too many directions.
  29. Jackpot
    Jackpot ends up a lot like Sunny's singing: pointless and more than a little flat.
  30. Greenfingers
    It's pleasant, mildly uplifting entertainment, one of the few recent movies to use plants as its muse.
