  1. Catch a Fire
    The movie belongs to Luke, who brings the heroic Chamusso to life as richly as Forest Whitaker does the evil Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in "The Last King of Scotland."
  2. Saving Grace
    Has that same air of silly innocence, a rarity in today's movies.
  3. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water
    The spirit of the series remains true: cheerfully random jokes, blink-and-you’ll-miss-them references and, above all, a silly, stubbornly sentimental streak that only the crabbiest cynic could dismiss.
  4. Cuba feliz
    Every trip requires patience, and this one brings plenty of rewards, in the ecstatic sounds of a country most of us haven't been able to visit firsthand.
  5. Made
    None of the criminal skulduggery feels quite right, but the comic bits between Bobby (Favreau) and Ricky (Vaughn) are freewheeling fun.
  6. Southpaw
    Less a complete story than a work-in-progress.
  7. Twilight: Los Angeles
    Forces the audience to rethink the riots in new and difficult ways, to find empathy and revulsion where it might not have known they existed.
  8. What Alice Found
    Digital video is both the blessing and the curse of writer-director A. Dean Bell's well-conceived but underachieved What Alice Found.
  9. Ocean's Thirteen
    Passingly enjoyable summer fluff, but if you can find a more genial, less edgy caper movie, you might want to own it as a pet.
  10. Newlyweeds
    Despite the hard lessons learned, King seems to have a pretty deep appreciation for Lyle and Nina’s drug of choice — and you’ll probably enjoy the movie a little more if you feel the same. Just think twice if you’re planning to sneak some homemade brownies into the theater when you see it.
  11. The Duchess
    A rousing period drama with all the familiar trimmings: gorgeous costumes, palatial settings and romantic intrigue.
  12. Torremolinos 73
    The result is a highly amusing folly, rendered with a surprisingly gentle affection.
  13. Big Eyes
    Burton structures the film, right up to the fascinating finale, as both a damning tale of male privilege and a moving story of a woman’s liberation. The actors reflect these themes accordingly. Adams is touchingly restrained and Waltz is monstrously charismatic.
  14. The Gift
    But there were few, if any, better performances in 2000 than the one Blanchett gives here, and Raimi's crafty blend of dramatic realism and supernatural knowledge is one of the year's best directing con jobs.

    Black Sea
    That’s the problem with Law’s submarine skipper, Robinson, in the action thriller Black Sea. He’s driven and dynamic enough, but he can’t keep the sensitivity from his eyes.
  16. Curious George
    Curious George has long been a bedtime staple, but this animated film version may be the first time his story puts parents to sleep.
  17. Kong: Skull Island
    The new Kong: Skull Island really gets it right — the exotic adventure, the spectacular special effects, the towering terrors. It’s a big hunk of nostalgic fun, reminding us of the 1933 original even as it monkeys around with the classic story.
  18. City Hall
    City Hall can't decide whether to be melodrama or sociology. In the end, it isn't enough of either. [16 Feb 1996, p.49]

  19. Antwone Fisher
    A safety-first, tried-and-true inspirational story that stays the course right down to its "It's a Wonderful Life" ending.
  20. Rugrats in Paris: The Movie - Rugrats II
    Will Rugrats fans love it -- Wee, we -- er, oui, oui.
  21. American History X
    Unflinching in its depiction of racism, anti-Semitism, violence and jailhouse politics.
  22. Austin Powers in Goldmember
    The best way to look at this installment, however, is as musical theater of the absurd. The song-and-dance set pieces are brilliant, including a rap-style "It's a Hard Knock Life" in a prison.
  23. Hush!
    Though the director takes a thoughtful approach to the material, mixing humor and poignancy, he undercuts our sympathy considerably by dragging things out to an inexplicably indulgent degree.
  24. Veronica Mars
    It’s so much fun you may want to put a few bucks aside for a sequel.
  25. Conversations with Other Women
    Theirs is an affair not worth remembering.
  26. Punching the Clown
    Every aspiring performer will appreciate Gregori Viens' unassuming comedy, which cheerfully skewers industry pretensions and media-fueled trends.
  27. Food Chains
    The participants make a strong case, although the most emotionally powerful moments involve the workers themselves.
  28. The Yellow Handkerchief
    If it were just Hurt's show, it'd be a helluva trip.
  29. Land of Plenty
    Unfortunately, Wendeers frustrated wake-up call quickly buckles under the heavy burden of its earnest message.
  30. On a Clear Day
    Just as surely as the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, this domestic comedy follows a direct path through every crisis, every resolution and every sentimental heartbeat laid out in the script.
