  1. Osmosis Jones
    The flat, gross-out live-action bits, directed by (surprise!) Peter and Bobby Farrelly, don't jive with the zippy, Tex Avery-style animated segments, directed by former storyboard artists Piet Kroon and Tom Sito.

  2. Thirteen Ghosts
    This might be as perfect a new-millennium Halloween creepshow as we can expect.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  3. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
    The result is a feast for the eyes but frequently a famine for the frontal lobes, a movie of towering imagination and middling rewards.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  4. Bridget Jones's Diary
    What's right as rain with Diary is the casting.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  5. High Heels and Low Lifes
    An enjoyable female buddy caper -- more "Outrageous Fortune" than "Thelma and Louise."
    • Mr. Showbiz
  6. O
    Too much of a locker-room melodrama to make for great tragedy.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  7. The Million Dollar Hotel
    The film has an unabashed romantic tone that's matched by Wenders' usual flair for visual drama.
  8. Moulin Rouge!
    It's the kind of flourish that makes you smile -- that makes you believe in the power of movies.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  9. About Adam
    Simply a pleasant diversion rather the paean to crazy-in-love classics it would so like to be.
  10. Nora
    Like "Pollock," Nora is a convincing portrait of the intersection between creative genius and crazy, all-consuming love.

  11. Booye kafoor, atre yas
    The voyage is never less than interesting, even when you have no idea where it could possibly go.
  12. Pootie Tang
    The material it does pull off is daring and sharp.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  13. Dark Days
    Arresting, visually accomplished documentary.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  14. The Cell
    Repetitive, aimless, and as frustrating as you'd imagine any two-hour music video to be.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  15. Come Undone
    Come Undone is the quintessential gay date at the art house.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  16. Lisa Picard Is Famous
    As amusing and sharply performed as it is, Lisa Picard quickly grows thin and dull. Perhaps it would have been better as a real documentary, with Kirk and DeWolf simply playing their pathetic selves.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  17. The Low Down
    Almost nothing happens for most of the movie.
  18. Me, Myself & Irene
    A tepid and surprisingly dull farce stamped from the "About Mary" mold.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  19. The Crimson Rivers
    Glossy, gruesome police drama.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  20. Les amants criminels
    At once arch, derivative, and, in the end, bizarrely lyrical.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  21. Jump Tomorrow
    Just try not to smile while watching Jump Tomorrow.
  22. Water Drops on Burning Rocks
    Mild as satire and completely unconvincing as tragicomedy.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  23. The Monkey's Mask
    Makes for compulsive viewing.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  24. K-PAX
    Spacey and Bridges -- generally provide exactly the level of investment required for their characters to be convincing. Neither one showboats, and both make good use of the dry humor in Leavitt's script.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  25. Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles
    Wincer keeps the insubstantial story moving and the comedy light.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  26. Get Shorty
    A smirky black comedy that, like its John Lurie score, is jazzy, dry, and light on its feet.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  27. Est - Ouest
    Packed with melodrama, and often it works in the passionate, easy-to-watch manner of an old-fashioned "woman's film."
    • Mr. Showbiz
  28. L.I.E.
    The real reason to see it is Brian Cox, best known for being filmdom's other Hannibal Lecter (he played the role in Michael Mann's "Manhunter").
    • Mr. Showbiz
  29. The Fast and the Furious
    Strictly where the boys are: posing, posturing, and talking engine envy.
    • Mr. Showbiz
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Brothers McMullen
    This is, recognizably, an indie film, in the best sense of the term.
