  1. Amy
    Alana De Roma is going to be a tremendous star.
  2. The Magic Gloves
    He may earn his living as a cab driver, but the blank hero of Martín Rejtman's sardonic Argentinean comedy is perfectly content to hitch his way through life.
  3. I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With
    Garlin, like Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine in "Marty," is good company, even when his out-of-control eating and self-loathing threaten to overwhelm him.
  4. Big Fish
    But Burton and August have added ­anger to the mix, and it sours much of the otherwise wondrous tone.
  5. Chronicles
    The movie suffers from tipping its hand too easily and hating its subject so much.
  6. The Wild Thornberrys Movie
    So well intentioned that its flaws may be generously overlooked by parents desperately planning activities for school breaks.
  7. La bûche
    Enjoy Christmas in Paris, if you don't have enough problems of your own, with this slice of family life from French director Daniele Thompson.
  8. When the Sea Rises
    There's something sweet yet chilling in When the Sea Rises. If it had explored more of the chill, it might have turned into a knockout, absurdist thriller.
  9. My Best Friend
    Mildly entertaining trifle.
  10. Jimmy Carter Man from Plains
    There is no doubting Jonathan Demme's admiration for our 39th President: It's apparent from the opening scenes.
  11. Hats Off
    Though Weddell's accomplishments are inspiring, we would have been better served by a more impartial portrait. With its reverent tone, the movie often feels more like it was made by a doting granddaughter than a pro filmmaker.
  12. Eat This New York
    An excellent idea that never quite pans out.
  13. Mysterious Skin
    A well-conceived story that is very hard to shake.
  14. A Scanner Darkly
    Scanner is mostly all talk, and the talk is entertaining only when it's coming from Downey. The actor's long history of drug abuse taught him a thing or two about cooked behavior, and he gives some anxious run-on monologues that are very funny.
  15. Angel-A
    The beautiful black-and-white photography - and disappointingly sappy ending - are the only remotely sober elements here, thanks to Besson's loopy script and Debbouze's very funny turn as a loser who simply can't believe his luck.
  16. The Brave One
    Not enough to overcome the proven axiom that although you can make a bad movie from a good script, you can't make a good one from a bad one.
  17. Snow Angels
    It does give Sam Rockwell another opportunity to creep us out, and Kate Beckinsale a new shot at believability. Too bad the movie around them meanders.
  18. Rounders
    Oughtta be much bettor.

  19. Heist
    While not nearly as elaborate as either film, Heist plays like a combination of "The Sting" and "Mission: Impossible."
  20. Mondays in the Sun
    Though buoyed by excellent, unflinching performances, this melancholy drama reflects the dismally monotonous lives of its subjects just a little too well.
  21. Rush Hour 2
    The co-stars genuinely like each other, and their pleasure is infectious.
  22. Munich
    The failure of a movie that is so good in so many ways leaves me to wonder if Spielberg is up to this kind of complex, multi-tasking story.
  23. Luminous Motion
    An ambitious film that sticks with you long after you have left the theater -- because of both what it achieves and what it does not.
  24. Game 6
    There are funny bits strewn throughout Game 6, and it's good to see Keaton in a meaty, nonshowy role for a change. He has the chops when he's not mugging.
  25. Miami Vice
    Miami Vice is the last of the predicted summer blockbusters, and it delivers a reasonable amount of popcorn excitement. But if nostalgia for the TV show is the source of your interest, expect some disappointment.
  26. The Governess
    Though Driver's offbeat beauty and Wilkinson's weathered visage make for an unlikely pairing, it works because their passion wells from something deeper than physical apperance. [31 Jul 1998]

  27. Stir of Echoes
    Little internal logic and too many signposts. It's easy to see who in the neighborhood knows more than they're letting on, even without X-ray vision or ESP.
  28. Wimbledon
    As a love story, Wimbledon is a washout. As a meditation on sports psychology, it might help improve your game.
  29. Sugar & Spice
    A cheerleader spoof that starts rousingly, but ends up nearly as shallow as its easy-target subjects.
  30. Malèna
    If Mussolini had a Monica Bellucci to inspire his troops, we might still be trying to take Palermo.
