  1. Transporter 2
    This stripped-down premise made the first "Transporter" fun: It's all about driving skills and choreographed fights, not logic. Even with so few requirements, Transporter 2 runs on empty.
  2. A Sound of Thunder
    Burns doesn't even bother to disguise his New York accent, any more than he does his boredom.
  3. Underclassman
    A remedial comedy for idiots.
  4. Margaret Cho: Assassin
    She has tackled difficult subjects with sharp wit, but this self-congratulatory set falls well short of our ensuing expectations.
  5. 3 Dancing Slaves
    Gaël Morel's intermittently poignant study in familial discord isn't quite substantive enough to support its histrionic tendencies.
  6. The Constant Gardener
    A slick, fast-paced production with first-rate performances and an emotional punch you won't soon forget.
  7. Games of Love and Chance
    The play within the movie is much more entertaining.
  8. William Eggleston in the Real World
    Refreshingly offbeat documentary.
  9. The Brothers Grimm
    The result is a bit of a mess: sometimes delightful, sometimes tedious, always creative.
  10. The Cave
    The Cave looks pretty cool - if you're into stalagmites, stalactites and that sort of thing -and the action is nonstop once they're in the hole. Unfortunately, there are no reference points in the dark to let us know where everyone is in relation to each other and to the monsters, and, therefore, there's little suspense.
  11. Undiscovered
    On paper, the "rising stars" of Meiert Avis' low-flying romantic comedy Undiscovered are Steven Strait and Pell James, but the real star is Tyson the Skateboarding Dog.
  12. The Baxter
    Modest and polite. That's not a ringing endorsement of Michael Showalter's good-natured comedy, but there are enough laughs in it if you're willing to settle.
  13. Eternal
    It's impossible to overstate the silliness of all this, but it would still be a decent Halloween trick - if it were Halloween.
  14. Formula 17
    At least it's as sweet as it is superficial.
  15. The Memory of a Killer
    Absorbing, operatic.
  16. Wall
    Lingers too long on wordless, symbolic shots of the wall itself. But there's no denying the power of seeing two cultures standing so helplessly on opposite sides of a single fence.
  17. We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen
    This is an insider's tour - the uninitiated are, frankly, not likely to be converted.
  18. The 40 Year Old Virgin
    Works on every level. The humor and language are as crude as an R rating allows, but Carell and Apatow's script is so hip, funny and - yes - innocent that it's never offensive.
  19. Red Eye
    The movie is fun, fun, fun.
  20. Valiant
    The visuals might be undistinguished, but the voices are excellent.
  21. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
    You can't look away, not only because the carnage is so masterfully photographed, but because the director sucks you into his bleak, poetic, even sensible vision of cosmic brutality. Not for the faint-hearted!
  22. This Divided State
    If there's anybody left who believes in free discourse, the students were clear winners.
  23. Supercross
    Unfortunately, while director Steve Boyum is a successful stunt man and off-road biker, his skills do not extend to the relatively passive arena of filmmaking. Somehow, he even makes much of the action static.
  24. Reel Paradise
    The result is a gorgeous, third-person version of an extended family-vacation movie that the Piersons, their friends and their former Fijian neighbors can enjoy for years to come.
  25. The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till
    It is a devastating indictment of the ruling class of Money, Miss.
  26. The Skeleton Key
    The only thing to do, then, is settle back and appreciate Hudson's no-nonsense performance, an appealingly mature turn that makes you hope she has turned her back on second-rate romantic fluff. (Whether second-rate horror represents actual improvement is another matter.)
  27. Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
    You don't have to rise very high to get above the level of these gags.
  28. Four Brothers
    If you can overcome the graphic nature of its casual violence, it is a lot of fun. The banter among the brothers is well-written and has a genuine fraternal feel to it. And the chases and shootouts have a fresh malevolence to them.
  29. The Great Raid
    Not a great movie, but it certainly does justice to the great historical event it dramatizes.
  30. Asylum
    Asylum is as dark as Dracula's mood on a moonless night, and people suffering from depression should think twice before opening the coffin. This thing would put off Mary Poppins.
