  1. Stolen Summer
    Say a little prayer and save your money.
  2. Big Bad Love
    If the point of this umpteenth posttraumatic stress drama is that war is hell, even years after it's over and you're sitting in a movie theater, Big Bad Love makes it.

  3. Mean Machine
    In Mean Machine, soccer is pretty much an excuse to watch a bunch of grown men smashing their heads together. Which, come to think of it, may be enough.
  4. Revolution OS
    Confident that his subject matter is inherently scintillating, however, Moore lays it out in creakily dry fashion. Those who consider computers to be glorified word processors may find their eyes glazing over in a matter of minutes.
  5. How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog
    That's a lot just to justify a cute title, but cuteness is the engine driving the slight, obvious but occasionally very funny film.
  6. The Cherry Orchard
    The film medium allows us to witness a most ravishing cherry orchard. But the grand cast is given to emoting as if they were playing to the peasants in the cheap seats.

  7. Queen of the Damned
    The main theme is the loneliness of the social outcast. That, plus a soundtrack to wake the undead, and the morbidly entombed presence of Aaliyah, will attract an audience despite the movie's intrinsic cheesiness.

  8. Maryam
    Though it's ultimately rather heavy-handed, this drama about an Iranian-American family is heartfelt and topical.
  9. Monsoon Wedding
    With its colorful embroidery, Monsoon Wedding feels pleasurably grounded in a reality about which most Westerners haven't a clue. This may be their only engraved invitation.

  10. Dragonfly
    A stinker of epic proportions.
    • New York Daily News
  11. Hart's War
    Hart's War has its priorities clear, but delivers them with insulting simplicity.
  12. Crossroads
    Here's what Crossroads does not have: Cohesive direction from Tamra Davis, intelligent dialogue, a comprehensible plot.
  13. The Last Man
    Scenario is ripe for subversive humor, but Ralston never even questions the superiority of the genetically privileged.
  14. Super Troopers
    There's a thin line between smart-stupid and just plain stupid, and Super Troopers walks it with ease.
    • New York Daily News
  15. John Q
    It's not honest, and it's certainly no solution.
  16. Umberto D (re-release)
    Universally appealing story that plays as well now as it did on opening day a half-century ago. Maybe better.
  17. Wendigo
    The intriguing elements never quite coalesce into a consequential whole; we leave this yuppie nightmare feeling both unsettled and unsatisfied.
    • New York Daily News
  18. Return to Never Land
    You may want to wait and watch "Never Land" the way it was meant to be seen -- as a straight-to-video baby-sitter.
    • New York Daily News
  19. Much Ado About Something
    Barely qualifies as a documentary. It's the personal journey of a man hoping to claim a million-dollar literary prize by proving that Marlowe wrote Shakespeare.
  20. Collateral Damage
    Exploits and trivializes public anxiety for entertainment and commercial gain. They've been doing it for years. But this little piggie didn't get to the market in time.
    • New York Daily News
  21. Swiri
    Americans, for better or worse, have already seen plenty of budget-busting action flicks with half-baked political pretensions.
  22. Scotland, Pa.
    As Shakespeare adaptations go, Scotland, PA. is just a McNugget, but the actors help sustain the satiric tone right up until McBeth's lady finally gets that stain out the old-fashioned way, with a cleaver.
    • New York Daily News
  23. Rollerball
    The game itself is meaningless, and the movie, much the same way, likes it like that.
  24. Big Fat Liar
    There are lame comedies, and then there is Big Fat Liar, which is so lame that it merits its own reserved parking space.
    • New York Daily News
  25. A Rumor of Angels
    With its mystical mumbo jumbo and even a helpful beam of celestial light in one scene, A Rumor of Angels is a kind of cinematic comfort food for an undemanding audience.
  26. Birthday Girl
    It's a slight, old-fashioned B movie, the last thing you would expect from an actress coming off a breakout year, but it has a charm and freshness we don't see much these days.
    • New York Daily News
  27. Slackers
    Slackers depends on the pathetic Ethan and the flatulent Sam for most of its laughs, and both characters are more revolting than amusing.
  28. Domestic Violence
    Wiseman's film is revealing. But it is also a silent rebuke to a society that tries to hide this pervasive problem behind a smug vision of itself.
  29. Hey, Happy!
    With its amateurish performances and sloppy script, Hey, Happy! has the homemade feel of a cult movie, but very little of the charm.
  30. Storytelling
    Solondz's refusal to frame his dark, misanthropic impulses with an overriding point-of-view seems a cheap copout for a film whose title proposes that it's about the storytelling process.
