  1. Love Don't Cost a Thing
    But where the original was slight but sweet, the remake is depressingly superficial and cynical.
  2. Maze
    The movie walks a tightrope between playing this misunderstood malady for laughs and sentiment.
  3. The Forgotten
    The last act, when the movie falls apart like a cheap toy, is both a deus ex machina and an anticlimax.
  4. Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd
    The movie's really about the impressions of the original performances by newcomers Eric Christian Olsen and Derek Richardson. Olsen does an uncanny Carrey, and Richardson vaguely resembles Daniels.
  5. A Cinderella Story
    The only intriguing character is the manager of the diner (and de facto fairy godmother), played by Regina King.
  6. Voices of Iraq
    The latest - and really last-minute - documentary hoping to affect the presidential election is a deceptively partisan view of the Iraq War.
  7. Rocky Road
    A classic case of good intentions and bad filmmaking.
  8. A Good Year
    Like a fragile Provence wine left too long in the sun, Ridley Scott's romantic comedy A Good Year spoiled somewhere between the publication of Peter Mayle's novel and this cockamamie adaptation.
  9. Jason X
    If the 10th "Friday" sounds like the first "Alien," it's strictly intentional. Todd Farmer's script rips off that classic sci-fi horror film, replaces the acid-based monster with the hockey-masked Jason, adopts the self-mocking attitude of "Scream" and lets the heads, arms, legs and torsos fall where they may.

  10. The Dying Gaul
    These are three characters in search of a moral pulse.
  11. The Wicker Man
    As an allegory of religious conflict, the '73 film is brilliantly constructed and ends with a punctuation mark that was shocking in its day. LaBute's movie attempts to shock, as well, and does: Given the names involved and the casting of Cage, it is shockingly bad.
  12. Grizzly Falls
    To be avoided by anyone considering a vacation to anything wilder than a zoo.
  13. Virgin
    Shot with an annoyingly jerky hand-held camera, Virgin is a test to stick with, and despite the best efforts of Moss, it wore me out.
  14. Jet Lag
    Who knew that Juliette Binoche and Jean Reno could be unlikable? And yet, there they are, grating on each other's nerves (and ours) as strandees at Charles De Gaulle airport.
  15. Nabbeun namja
    South Korean director Kim Ki-duk does a bizarre riff on the twisted macho ethos of abusing women until they learn to love you.
  16. Bounce: Behind the Velvet Rope
    Cantor seems to have noticed how dull the actual footage is, since he relies heavily on "arty" shots and black-and-white inserts.

  17. Nijinsky: The Diaries of Vaslav Nijinsky
    Unfortunately, the visuals are not compelling enough on their own to hold our interest, and a highly mannered Derek Jacobi is all wrong as the narrative voice of Nijinsky.

  18. Followers
    Though Flicker based the story on real events, the execution is so melodramatic that none of it feels remotely true.
  19. Sex with Strangers
    You never know what these people are going to say or do, but you're pretty sure it will be whatever they want to.
  20. Jakob the Liar
    An awkwardly executed, tedious and -- a near impossibility for a Holocaust movie -- emotionally uninvolving bore.
  21. Flakes
    Unless you happen to be one yourself, chances are pretty good that you'll take an immediate dislike to the self-satisfied hipsters who populate this disappointing comedy.
  22. Malevolence
    The acting and dialogue is as silly as the potato sack the killer wears on his head.
  23. The Art of War
    A hackneyed movie of zero social, political or dramatic consequence.
  24. No Such Thing
    The film's pace is just plain wacky, moving with the haste of a receding glacier most of the time, but then jumping ahead as if Hartley hit the gas on a time machine.
  25. Halloween: Resurrection
    If you only want a sequence of slashings, impalements and head-squishings, you'll get your money's worth. But if you like a little movie with your mayhem, you're out of luck.
    • New York Daily News
  26. Two Can Play That Game
    Aside from the shamelessly promoted corporate sponsors, nobody emerges from this game a winner. But the biggest losers are the ones who paid good money to watch it.
  27. Domestic Disturbance
    Why Travolta is slumming in B movies is anybody's guess. (I'll take a wild flier: "Battlefield Earth"?)
  28. The Invasion
    Obliterating the original structure and intent of "Body Snatchers" is cinema-lit blasphemy.
  29. Into My Heart
    Though Morrow and Forlani are fine actors, they can't even fake a physical attraction between their characters, let alone orgasms.
  30. New Best Friend
    Preposterous collegiate drama that exists simply to show pretty girls kissing, pretty boys undressing and pretty people of every sexual orientation drinking, doing drugs and otherwise wreaking postadolescent havoc.
