  1. Doogal
    A dreadful animated movie stuffed with bad puns and little internal logic. More dangerous than the world icing over is the danger of eyeballs rolling back into the heads of parents accompanying kids to this.
  2. American Cannibal: The Road to Reality
    What's here is a glimpse not into how far people will go to win a reality TV show, but how far greedy writers and producers will go to degrade, debouch and enrich themselves.
  3. Alvin and the Chipmunks
    If karma exists, Alvin and the Chipmunks must be Lee's punishment for appearing in the likes of "Jersey Girl."
  4. Very Annie Mary
    Having mined England and Ireland dry, filmmakers are now turning to Wales for their quirkiness quota.
  5. Supernova
    It just goes to prove that in space, no one can hear you scream when the studio massacres your movie.
  6. Bartleby
    Does little more than re-create the oppressive feeling of suffocating employment. And why put yourself through that experience without the promise of a paycheck at the other end?
  7. White Noise
    The unhappy dead populate Geoffrey Sax's third-rate thriller White Noise like a pre-Christmas crowd at a suburban mall. This is a shame, since they are neither scary nor sad, and less likely to haunt an audience than simply bore them to death.
  8. The Covenant
    Profoundly mediocre supernatural thriller.
  9. Coyote Ugly
    Completely false, manipulative, exploitative and insulting.
  10. Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius
    I love golf, history and good stories, and I found this to be among the most boring, flat and cliched sports movies I've ever seen.
  11. The Libertine
    Not since Philip Kaufman's 2000 "Quills," the story of the Marquis de Sade, have we had so debauched a literary and movie hero, and Johnny Depp plays him with the relish of an actor who has made odd-ball characters his specialty.
  12. Conversations with God
    One of Walsch's precepts is that you should never make a living doing something you hate. If I'd known that, I might not have felt obliged to sit through every excruciating minute of this sanctimonious infomercial.
  13. Max
    A serious and thoughtful movie that probably does not mean to trivialize the Holocaust and blame the victim. But it is playing with fire nevertheless.
  14. The Great Role
    Director and co-writer Steve Suissa misses every opportunity to go deeper, either for laughs or pathos.
  15. The Amati Girls
    Only a memorably commanding Ruehl transcends the limitations of her two-dimensional character.
  16. Chop Suey
    Caught with a shaky hand-held camera, this aimless diary glides indifferently along Weber's stellar collection of photos.
  17. My First Wedding
    After languishing unseen for years, Laurent Firode's long-delayed comedy is finally getting its day in the sun. Too bad there's such a heavy shadow hanging over it.
  18. G
    It's an ugly affair overall, but at least you can say you've never seen such beautiful shirts.
  19. Basic
    Travolta is the least of the film's problems. With a script by James Vanderbilt, whose first credit was for a movie about the tooth fairy ("Darkness Falls"), and directed by John McTiernan, last seen struggling with "Rollerball," Basic is a fundamental failure.
  20. Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
    It's never a good sign when the creepiest moment in a movie about monstrous 50-foot snakes is the sight of 2-inch leeches sucking on someone's back.
  21. Thirteen Ghosts
    If only half as much attention had been paid to story and character as to set design, the cast wouldn't be playing second banana to a gut rehab.
  22. Blue Moon
    All the subtlety of an Olive Garden commercial.
  23. Paycheck
    The story, adapted by Dean Georgaris, doesn't come within a light year of science-fiction plausibility, and after a while Woo gives up trying to sell it and reverts to the action choreography that made him a master of Hong Kong martial-arts movies.
  24. Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
    You don't have to rise very high to get above the level of these gags.
  25. A Slipping-Down Life
    I have not read the Anne Tyler novella from which the movie is adapted, but it is clear from the earliest scenes that Evie and Drumstrings are of a different generation from 37-year-old Taylor and 36-year-old Pearce.
  26. Happy Hour
    Unfortunately, what you'll remember most about the movie is its banal script and dialogue so ripe it almost laughs at itself.
  27. Angel Eyes
    A movie about healing that makes us want to scream out, ""Hollywood, heal thyself!"
  28. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
    If there's anything more tiresome in film today than hip irony, it is forced irony, and here comes a boatload with Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.
  29. Surviving Eden
    The movie is hindered by its weak script, but there's also a bigger problem to overcome: If we want to laugh at superficial celebrities, we already have plenty to choose from in real life.
  30. The Last Winter
    Among cautionary tales of gloom-and-doom, it may out-gore Gore, but it doesn't entertain.
