  1. Film Geek
    You'd be better off spending an evening with the collected works of Rob Schneider.
  2. State of Fear
    Pamela Yates' unblinking chronicle of recent Peruvian history paints a devastating picture of a people nearly destroyed by their own leaders.
  3. Hostel
    The question is, can a Slovakian lawsuit against the filmmaker be far behind?
  4. Grandma's Boy
    There's no drug potent enough to make Grandma's Boy worth 87 minutes of your life.
  5. I Am Taraneh, I Am Fifteen Years Old
    Sadr-Ameli's unflagging empathy and Alidousti's confident performance keep us rooting for this young heroine, who refuses to accept the limits forced upon her by both society and the law.
  6. BloodRayne
    While there's no fun in mediocrity, ludicrousness is another matter. Boll is the best at what he does, and what he does is make truly terrible films.
  7. Match Point
    What fans want are good movies. This one isn't particularly funny or romantic, but it's gripping and tragic. It asks some nasty, yet profound, questions about human desire and behavior.
  8. Ich hiess Sabina Spielrein
    As complex as its subject's life and - like her - both flawed and fascinating.
  9. Wolf Creek
    Just because Dimension considered Greg McLean's nasty exploitation flick worthy of their time and money doesn't mean it deserves yours.
  10. Casanova
    A period romp that tries too hard.
  11. Rumor Has It...
    A lump of coal, sculpted from the kind of high-concept idea screenwriters find scribbled on bar napkins after nights of heavy drinking.
  12. The New World
    In the end, it's a sweeping, important film that overturns everything you learned in school about the birth of this nation.
  13. The Matador
    It is no small compliment to Pierce Brosnan to say that his performance in writer-director Richard Shephard's goofy black comedy The Matador could only be rivaled by Christopher Walken.
  14. 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.
  15. Caché (Hidden)
    Caché seems at first glance like a straightforward thriller - about a talk-show host being stalked by a technologically savvy blackmailer. But it's really a sly, subversive commentary on conscience, race, class and inequity.
  16. The Ringer
    No one will accuse The Ringer of being tasteful, but when you're not laughing, you may find yourself genuinely touched.
  17. The Intruder
    The title might as well refer to the viewer who tags along on Louis' often-silent journey from solitude to some tentative form of family. Some will consider the experience insurmountably frustrating; others will find it exhilarating.
  18. Cheaper by the Dozen 2
    A cheerless sequel to an uninspired remake, Cheaper by the Dozen 2 is, at best, well timed to serve as a backup baby-sitter during the hectic days of winter break.
  19. Fun with Dick and Jane
    A sharply comic critique of corporate greed might have added to the national dialogue, but this is a series of hit-&-miss sketches.
  20. The White Countess
    In any case, the movie moves only when she's (Richardson) in the center of it, and her complex performance as a woman balancing her dignity with her survival instincts is one of the year's very best.
  21. The Family Stone
    A machine-tooled entertainment that's as fake and flimsy as a plastic Christmas tree. The only reason the movie isn't as bad as it has a right to be is the marvelous Diane Keaton.
  22. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
    A small movie that plays like a Western epic.
  23. The Producers
    If you have seen the play, especially if you've seen it with the original cast, treasure the memory and protect it. The movie will attack it like a virus.
  24. Hoodwinked!
    The superior animation we've seen over the last few years has raised the bar for family entertainment like Hoodwinked, which features lackluster character design, so-so animation and only fitful bursts of cleverness.
  25. King Kong
    What a movie! This is how the medium seduced us originally.
  26. The Grace Lee Project
    A funny and insightful exploration into identity issues we all can recognize.
  27. Happy Here and Now
    A few relevant themes do bubble up from this visually intriguing swamp of self-indulgence, but Arquette's pseudo-philosopher seems to speak for Almereyda when he says, "If there was a point, there wouldn't be a story."
  28. Memoirs of a Geisha
    The movie may be set in prewar Japan, but it's pure 1940s Hollywood. There's costume, pageantry, melodrama, the feeling of a sweeping epic without the bother of too much accuracy, equal doses of heartbreak and uplift.
  29. Brokeback Mountain
    Gently unfolds into an epic, heartbreaking love story that's far greater than the sum of its parts.
  30. Mrs Henderson Presents
    This genteel confection skews toward older audiences - those who go for "Calendar Girls," "Ladies in Lavender" and "Mrs. Brown."
