  1. Drop Dead Gorgeous
    Drop Dead Ugly is more like it.
  2. World Traveler
    Crudup gives it his best, but his character is so economically drawn, there's hardly anything there -- certainly nothing likable.

  3. Just Friends
    And though Samantha is written as a sly spoof of Ashlee Simpson, Faris frantically overplays her. She might have taken a tip from Smart, a lovely, understated actress who wastes too much time in lousy films.
  4. States of Control
    The characters speak in Dialogue rather than English, the actors are so busy emoting they forget to act and the story feels like a first-draft college project.
  5. Say Uncle
    Dramatically miscalculated satire.
  6. The Invisible Circus
    Director and screenwriter Adam Brooks, adapting Jennifer Egan's novel, doesn't seem to understand what makes a movie relevant.
  7. Delta Farce
    Dreadfully unfunny.
  8. 2 Fast 2 Furious
    Lacks the charismatic presence of Vin Diesel, who has priced himself right out of the franchise. Without Diesel, there's not much gas, at least not from the nonvehicular elements.
  9. Spriggan
    Despite catchy animation and a few intense scenes, there's simply nothing here we haven't seen before.
  10. The Wedding Date
    Oddly enough, though, only the finale is predictable in a movie that appears to have been edited in an early-model blender. Not a single scene connects smoothly with the next.
  11. Just a Kiss
    Stevens, an actor taking charge from the other side of the camera, and writer and co-star Breen are going for a romantic black farce, a darkly noble idea, but one that requires far more empathetic characters and funnier situations than they've created.
  12. Saw III
    Just like its increasingly wan antihero, this blood-soaked series is on its last legs.
  13. Tears of the Sun
    A preposterous action movie in which a Navy SEAL makes the world safe for democracy one continent at a time.
  14. Laura Smiles
    It's an interesting profile in self-destruction until the script becomes unhinged itself and has Laura doing things that are not so much outrageous as hilariously stupid.
  15. Urban Legends: Final Cut
    Although it's recycled from start to finish, there are some decent jokes laced throughout, plus enough gore to satisfy the most bloodthirsty tastes.
  16. Manna from Heaven
    Regrettably, neither cast nor crew is able to save it from itself.
  17. The Hunted
    As in "The Edge," in which Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins were stranded in the wilds, you can earn a wildernesssurvival merit badge just from watching.
  18. Tales of Erotica
    Don't let the title fool you. The one thing they have in common is how decidedly unerotic they are.
  19. ABCD
    Madhur Jaffrey and Faran Tahir fare considerably better as Nina's conservative mother and brother, leaving us confused ourselves: Why didn't Patel focus on them, instead?
  20. B-52
    The salvaging operations, and the scavenging of B-52 parts for retail recycling and junk art that seem to consume most of the film take it to tedium, and beyond.
  21. Stigmata
    By the time the credits roll and a disclaimer informs us that there may, in fact, be a lost gospel of Jesus and that it is being suppressed by the Church, all we can think to say is, "Ah, shaudup!"
  22. 3000 Miles to Graceland
    Showcased in 3,000 Miles are two of the longest, noisiest, bloodiest and most ludicrous shootouts ever staged.
  23. Marebito (The Stranger from Afar)
    Never gives us what it promised: a glorious, totally new sense of horror.
  24. The Sea
    Dysfunction seeps from every pore of this family, and the anger and ugliness of the characters overwhelm not just the story but the movie's stunning National Geographic location.
  25. What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?
    "Quantum Bull-Bleep" would be a more apt title for the conclusions that the movie draws, but one concept was a revelation to me. One of the scientists said it's a fact that a single object can be in two places at the same time. I guess that explains O.J.'s alibi.
  26. The Girl from Monday
    Hartley's satire of consumer-driven sexuality is undermined by the straight-faced decision to cast affectless model Tatiana Abracos as the heroine.
  27. 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.
  28. The Ring
    I hated it, but I grant that it does tap into a vein of technological horror - the fear of the VCR! - that will have young videophiles chatting it up for weeks
  29. Hollywood Buddha
    This off-putting satire is a jumble of misguided ideas that gather like lint in the navel of self-obsessed director Philippe Caland.

    Who's Your Caddy?
    His C-Note is essentially a one-note character. And that note is flat.
