  1. All Access: Front Row. Backstage. Live!
    All we get is mild platitudes before the shows, and one-song sets.
  2. Just Visiting
    There ought to be a law about transporting humor internationally.
  3. Pokémon 3: The Movie
    Kids will love it.
  4. Shadow Magic
    A movie-movie about the movies.
  5. Faat Kiné
    Both politically intricate and genuinely hilarious, Faat-Kine is a story grounded in dichotomies.
  6. The Tailor of Panama
    The script gets so silly, the Monty Python troupe would reject it.
  7. Amores Perros
    Strong stuff, compelling drama.
  8. Spy Kids
    An adorable family movie.
  9. Tomcats
    An "American Pie" wanna-be that, in trying to be as tasteless as possible, sometimes succeeds.
  10. Someone Like You...
    Goes down easily only because Judd and Jackman are eye candy, and because Kinnear and Tomei provide solid comic support.
  11. Too Much Sleep
    The film's slightly awkward self-consciousness is balanced by an appealing, gently deadpan performance from Palmieri.
  12. The Brothers
    A prime reason to see this, if you don't mind some really screechy acting by some of the supporting players and insipid metaphors for love and commitment, is its parade of fine flesh, both male and female.
  13. Friendly Persuasion: Iranian Cinema After the 1979 Revolution
    A no-frills, homespun documentary that gives so much more than its humble technical credits would suggest.
  14. Heartbreakers
    Heartbreakers is too long by a half-hour, and there are entire sketches (including a horrid nightclub sequence with Weaver trying to sing in Russian) that could be mercifully sacrificed.
  15. Say It Isn't So
    It has incest, sweaty armpits, nipple rings, drool, an amputee, a stroke victim and an engagement ring stuck in a sticky place. And Heather Graham. All that, and it's not very funny.
  16. Keep the River on Your Right: A Modern Cannibal Tale
    A fascinating story.
    • New York Daily News
  17. Enemy at the Gates
    The sniper's life is a lonely one, full of shallow breathing and delayed gratification. Solitary as it is, Jude Law manages to get a little action in the bunkers of wartime Stalingrad in the ambitious but sometimes inadvertently silly Enemy at the Gates.
  18. American Desi
    With a few exceptions, the Indian characters are two-dimensional buffoons whose traditions are presented as silly quirks meant for cheap laughs.
  19. Memento
    One of the most original and ultimately confounding mind games to reach the screen since "The Usual Suspects."
  20. The Dish
    For all its folksy jocularity, the movie inspires a sense of global patriotism. In the big picture, every little dish counts.
  21. Kissing Jessica Stein
    A pitch-perfect gem.
    • New York Daily News
  22. When Brendan Met Trudy
    Trudy is really the only character with the "Barrytown" zest, and Montgomery throws herself into the role with unselfconscious abandon. She makes the screen crackle with energy.
  23. Simon Magus
    Unfocused and shrill.
  24. Biandan, guniang
    The Stockholm syndrome, that strange psychological malady by which hostages bond emotionally with their captors, is the central theme in this intimate melodrama.
  25. Get Over It
    A charmer with an attractive cast and an excellent soundtrack.
  26. 15 Minutes
    The Czech Republic and Russia, the respective homes of Emil and Oleg, should sue.
  27. The Gleaners & I
    Varda injects her sprightly personality into the film, a seasoning that sometimes overwhelms the stew.
  28. Blow Dry
    Rickman and Richardson are excellent actors put to ghastly waste.
  29. The Caveman's Valentine
    Offers a dazzling showcase for Samuel L. Jackson.
  30. Series 7: The Contenders
    There's no avoiding the fact that it's a one-joke movie, 86 minutes in the telling, and without any serious social underpinnings, it grows old pretty fast.
