  1. Mutant Aliens
    This lackluster outing is mostly just a retread of past glories.
  2. I Remember Me
    Feels like reading someone else's diary. Undoubtedly, there's some very important stuff in there, but it's most interesting to the person who wrote it.
  3. Remember the Titans
    History as filtered through the faux-liberal prism of Hollywood's dream factory, and an insult, I believe, to the people who actually carried the fight and endured the pain for civil rights.
  4. X
    About as many characters, dragons and force fields as "Pokémon" has pocket monsters, so it may be difficult for the uninitiated to keep track.
  5. High Tension
    One of the ugliest movies I've ever seen. Even though it occurs mostly in the dark, the open flesh wounds are both graphic and implausible.
  6. The New Guy
    Tries everything possible to win you over -- satire, gross-out comedy, even earnest romance. But as any high-schooler can tell you, the harder you try, the bigger you fall.

  7. The Last Man
    Scenario is ripe for subversive humor, but Ralston never even questions the superiority of the genetically privileged.
  8. Cuba: Island of Music
    The movie is dismally organized, his (Keys) interviews are shallow and uninformative, and the project has a whole lacks a strong point of view.
  9. Sugar Town
    A bad Altman impression of the L.A. rock scene.
  10. Redline
    If there's a lesson to be found in this shameless vanity project, it's that money can buy anything. Even a movie.
  11. One to Another
    The confusing time line of Pascal Arnold and Jean-Marc Barr's bizarre tale of sibling romance, murder and obsession is just one of its problems. The others are the romance, the murder and the obsession.
  12. The United States of Leland
    There's a reason filmmaking is considered a craft, and Hoge, a former teacher in a juvenile prison, cannot pull off what would be a tricky proposition for a skilled veteran.
  13. Sidewalks of New York
    A waterlogged bagel, hardly the valentine to New York it imagines itself to be.
  14. The Mothman Prophecies
    Gere, who's credited with keeping the project alive for years, has never thrown himself quite so fully into a role, and Pellington tells the story without a hint of skepticism. I suppose he had no choice. If you're going to treat poppycock as history, you had better believe it.
  15. Around the World in 80 Days
    With the exception of one masterfully choreographed - and improbably bloodless - martial-arts gang fight, the new version of Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days is one of the lamest remakes of a classic film I've ever seen.
  16. Mad Money
    Why would so many accomplished women waste their time and talents on a movie as counterfeit as Mad Money?
  17. Boys and Girls
    Stays firmly, depressingly, inside the lines.
  18. Blade II
    Del Toro ("Cronos") is a stylish horrormeister, and he has created an evocative, foreboding atmosphere. But only a fan of this kind of mayhem could find a way into the story.

  19. Premonition
    We never get a sensible explanation for Linda's bizarre double life, or uncover any reason - any reason at all - why Bullock would pick this lazy, patchwork script out of all the ones she surely receives every year.
  20. Dedication
    It's a romantic comedy, though neither funny nor romantic. It's a ghost story, though not scary. It's a satire about publishing, but without teeth.
  21. The Brothers Solomon
    The upbeat brothers are full of sweetness and love, but the script is made of taffy, and if you can chew and laugh at the same time, you're welcome to it.
  22. The Waiting Game
    Ken Liotti's script barely earns a C+.
  23. August Rush
    It would be nice to say this predictable fantasy has such a big heart, we can forgive its excesses. But director Kirsten Sheridan overplays nearly every already-corny scene, and there is no chemistry between Russell and Rhys Meyers, who appear to be passing through on their way to better projects.
  24. Me Myself I
    A fascinating contrast in lifestyles.
  25. The Perfect Man
    The story has a definite ick factor that detracts from even the small pleasures the movie might offer its teen audience.
  26. Play It to the Bone
    Ron Shelton's boxing pic is long on road work but strictly a flyweight.
  27. One Night with the King
    This preposterous adaptation of the Book of Esther is recommended viewing only for those impressed that it comes endorsed by the American Bible Society.
  28. 30 Days of Night
    Lighter on horror than it is on inadvertent humor.
  29. Chuen jik sat sau
    A flashy homage to a dozen better movies, this self-conscious Hong Kong action flick is so packed with visual thrills, you may not notice that there's absolutely nothing beneath its impressively slick surface.
  30. Beautiful Creatures
    The movie veers so wildly between being zany and grim, we're left feeling more empty than entertained.
