  1. From Justin to Kelly
    More than awful, more than dreadful, and easily the worst beach movie ever made.
  2. Alex & Emma
    This is a movie full of tin-eared humor and situations too contrived to give romance a toehold.
  3. Francis Ford Coppola Presents: The Legend of Suriyothai
    Yukol has spread a huge canvas, gloriously costumed and photographed, but the staging and acting are often awkward and the saga is simply too dense for good drama.
  4. Hulk
    I wanted more. I expected more. The filmmakers said it was going to be smart - really smart - like all of Lee's movies. Instead, it's big, dumb and fun.
  5. 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.
  6. The Hard Word
    I may be wrong, but I think Guy Pearce is wearing Nicole Kidman's false nose in The Hard Word. Whatever it is that's on his face, it looks like a dead cod and won't win him an Oscar.
  7. Rugrats Go Wild
    Though the energy occasionally flags, the movie does a nice job of exploiting the crossover potential.
  8. Hollywood Homicide
    It's a humiliating comedown for Ford, and he looks creaky and grumpy, obviously aware that he is miscast and dreading every scene.
  9. Tycoon: A New Russian
    With more than a passing nod to the Hollywood mob movie, Pavel Lounguine ("Luna Park") crafts this superb post-Soviet "Godfather" movie loosely based on the exploits of bad boy billionaire Boris Berezovsky.
  10. The Heart of Me
    It has the feel of those romantic movies of the '40s that no one thinks are made anymore.
  11. Manito
    Toward the finish, the movie takes a regrettable curve into melodrama, but the excellent performances never waver.
  12. 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.
  13. Garmento
    Has amusing moments, but falls apart as quickly as a cheap knockoff.
  14. Love the Hard Way
    Brody does have a mesmerizing presence and is the only reason to see a film that likely would have gone straight to video if he hadn't won that Oscar for "The Pianist."
  15. The Eye
    It's unabashedly derivative and spooky enough to keep you up at night.
  16. 2 Fast 2 Furious
    Lacks the charismatic presence of Vin Diesel, who has priced himself right out of the franchise. Without Diesel, there's not much gas, at least not from the nonvehicular elements.
  17. Whale Rider
    Pai is resourceful and in harmony with the natural world in a way that will charm and enthrall young viewers.
  18. The Weather Underground
    The documentary plays it down the middle, neither condemning nor romanticizing the political outlaws, but making sense of who they were and what they did.
  19. The Three Marias
    Abranches intends for a religious parable by way of Greek tragedy, but the film drowns in a morass of portentous signs and poetic symbols.
  20. The Era of Vampires
    Pleasantly cheesy but undistinguished martial-arts and horror fare.
  21. Wrong Turn
    In these movies, it's always easy to figure out who's going to survive and make the killers cough up their own blood, but you still hope that the victims will go in the order of their performances -- worst actor first, etc. No such luck.
  22. Capturing the Friedmans
    This extraordinary film refracts truth through the prism of memory, until what you get is a tragedy of Shakespearean dimensions, full of sacrifice and betrayal.
  23. The Italian Job
    A slicker, faster-paced, high-tech upgrade that lifts the sprightly spirit and the main action set piece from the original while developing its own twists and a new ending that, though a bit too pat and eager to please, is a vast improvement.
  24. Finding Nemo
    This stirring children's movie about separation anxiety is swimming with comic references only adults will catch, thus greatly expanding the potential audience.
  25. The In-Laws
    Big, bloated and only intermittently amusing.
  26. Bruce Almighty
    When Carrey is doing his thing as the Almighty, histrionically whipping up one miracle after another and relishing the power, "Bruce" has you spring-cleaning your lungs with laughter. But you are made to pay for it with a third-act sap-rising that's as thick as the final reels of "Patch Adams."
  27. Grazia's Island
    A beautifully composed tone poem about unspoken group dynamics in an isolated community. It is also, in its way, about how love endures.
  28. Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns)
    A fan's dream, A.J. Schnack's worshipful documentary about the musical duo They Might Be Giants does a nice job reflecting the thoughtful, quirky sensibility of its subjects' songs. Just don't expect to learn much about the guys themselves.
  29. Ichi the Killer
    This time around, the cult director dispenses with the feminism, the satire, and even the issues, so he can concentrate on his true passion: the dissecting.
  30. The Sea
    Dysfunction seeps from every pore of this family, and the anger and ugliness of the characters overwhelm not just the story but the movie's stunning National Geographic location.
