  1. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
    Most of the film is way too goofy for all but the most thumbstruck Hitchhiker.
  2. xXx: State of the Union
    Critics are inclined to describe the action in films like "XXX" and Lee Tamahori's sequel, XXX: State of the Union, as "cartoon violence." I'll resist doing that out of respect for cartoons.
  3. 3-Iron
    There is a vengeance motif that is worked out in a way that is both emotionally satisfying and completely unbelievable.
  4. À Tout de Suite (Right Now)
    Though it happens two-thirds into the movie, when Lili is abandoned by the others in Greece without either luggage or money, Le Besco's vulnerability draws us into her predicament.
  5. Death of a Dynasty
    There are some funny moments and amusing cameos, but it's not enough to elevate this project's slapdash approach.
  6. Funny Ha Ha
    Bujalski celebrates the awkwardness of twentysomething life, allowing Dollenmayer to create a beautifully authentic portrait.
  7. The Holy Girl
    Alche has an amazingly expressive face and becomes such a magnetic presence that you'll feel a distinct need to rescue her.
  8. Ladies in Lavender.
    Ultimately, Dance is unable to connect the many threads of his rather flimsy script, leading to an abrupt and somewhat unsatisfying conclusion. But the journey is worth taking, thanks to the company of its stars.
  9. Stalin's Wife
    There's plenty of passion beneath this movie's unadorned surface.
  10. The Tunnel
    Though the film is as long as the escape route, Richter's brisk direction keeps us riveted through the suspenseful finish of his vivid history lesson.
  11. The Interpreter
    An intelligent, old-fashioned nail-biter.
  12. A Lot Like Love
    In A Lot Like Love, there is no doubt - nor suspense, nor depth.
  13. King's Ransom
    Dumber than the worst UPN sitcom.
  14. Double Dare
    Amanda Micheli's candid documentary introduces us to two of these real-life daredevils, and it is a genuine pleasure.
  15. Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
    Is a movie worthwhile if it makes you sick? Absolutely, in the case of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.
  16. Madison
    There isn't a scene, an action or a character that rings true, yet the narrative summary of the events that inspired it is a matter of record.
  17. The Man Who Copied
    Manages to tackle some serious issues without sacrificing its inherently sweet nature.
  18. Night of Henna
    Mildly pleasant movie.
  19. Save the Green Planet!
    Will thrill those who prefer their violence graphic and their comedy surreal.
  20. The Amityville Horror
    Why remake a horror film if you can't make it scarier?
  21. House of D
    Sappy and improbable.
  22. It's All Gone Pete Tong
    The faux-documentary format does nothing for the material, but Kaye turns in a chaotic and ultimately moving performance.
  23. Perlasca: The Courage of a Just Man
    Zingaretti does a fine job shading a character that is written as an unalloyed saint.
  24. Torremolinos 73
    The result is a highly amusing folly, rendered with a surprisingly gentle affection.
  25. The Girl from Monday
    Hartley's satire of consumer-driven sexuality is undermined by the straight-faced decision to cast affectless model Tatiana Abracos as the heroine.
  26. Palindromes
    This is extremely dark and politically loaded material.
  27. State Property 2
    Given that its predecessor hit bottom in the glorification of thug thrills, State Property 2 had nowhere to go but up. Yet, it doesn't.
  28. Sahara
    Eisner is not remotely up to the challenge. Spending millions on action scenes does not mean you get them right.
  29. Fever Pitch
    Relationship comedy like this is mother's milk to Drew Barrymore, who, as usual, is adorable and perfect.
  30. Kung Fu Hustle
    The overly broad martial-arts comedy Kung Fu Hustle was obviously made with skill and affection for its many cinematic sources, yet I found the tone, timing and emotional involvement off by just enough to irritate rather than enchant.
