  1. The Little Vampire
    Strikes a nice balance between smart and sweet.
  2. Loving Jezebel
    All we get is the Oedipal nightmare of a mom, the flaky teddy-bear fanatic, the sexual vampire, and on and on.
  3. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    The characters are boring, the violence generic, the suspense nonexistent.
  4. Sound and Fury
    The real revelation of Sound and Fury is how it introduces hearing people to a culture they insist on ignoring.
  5. Bedazzled
    This updated version has the good sense to star Brendan Fraser, who is shaping up as one of our finest romantic-comedy stars.
  6. Calle 54
    Some of the artists appear ecstatically transported as they play. Others are just having one hell of a good time. Believe me, it's contagious.
  7. The Legend of Drunken Master
    A pleasure, chock full of creatively choreographed fight scenes.
  8. The Yards
    With one exception (hint: Faye Dunaway), the actors seem remarkably at home in their milieu.
  9. The Wolves of Kromer
    This Grimm-influenced fairy tale has a contemporary twist and the best of intentions, and that's about all there is to say for it.
  10. Just One Time
    Atoothless morality play.
  11. MVP: Most Valuable Primate
    Neither chimps nor children should be subjected to such shabby mediocrity.
  12. Pay It Forward
    My rule of thumb for manipulative movies: I don't mind playing the marionette as long as the strings aren't visible.
  13. Dr T and the Women
    One of the curmudgeonly director's sweetest films, and features one of Richard Gere's most affecting performances.
  14. The Ladies Man
    A guilty pleasure, right up there with "The Water Boy."
  15. Whispers: An Elephant's Tale
    If even one audience member leaves more concerned with the evils of poachers than the pleasures of Pokemon, Disney's more than done its job.
  16. Cleopatra's Second Husband
    Since there's no suspense whatsoever, we're simply stuck with awful people doing awful things to each other.
  17. Animal Factory
    (Rourke's) nearly unrecognizable presence is characteristic of the odd pockets of talent (and, sometimes, lint) in Steve Buscemi's film.
  18. Billy Elliot
    It's not just a movie about an underdog who fights the odds, it's about following one's heart -- despite the obstacles.
  19. Followers
    Though Flicker based the story on real events, the execution is so melodramatic that none of it feels remotely true.
  20. Just Looking
    Old-fashioned comedy-drama.
  21. Lost Souls
    His (Kaminski) first feature is so thoroughly awful, it isn't even interesting to look at.
  22. Ratcatcher
    A grim, poetic, heart-wrenchingly fine ode to the lost children of Glasgow's forgotten class.

  23. One
    Once in a while, a little reality can be a welcome antidote to our increasingly outsized film fantasies.
  24. The Contender
    Lurie has made an impressive contribution to the bulging library of political film, and he has showcased some performances sure to get Oscar consideration.
  25. Get Carter
    The result is a throwaway story hidden beneath a messy jumble of weird camera angles, worthless editing tricks and an ill-placed, obnoxious score.
    • New York Daily News
  26. Two Family House
    A gentle, soulful comedy about everyday dreams and what it takes to make them come true.
  27. Yi Yi
    Passes like an evening spent with friends.
  28. Taboo
    Impressionistic and open to interpretation, which is a kind way of saying that there's no way to figure out the ending.
    • New York Daily News
  29. Bamboozled
    This is the kind of misfire that can take everyone down with it. It's not just bad, it's mean-bad.
  30. Meet the Parents
    What makes it work so well is superb chemistry and a light touch. The spray-painted cat scene doesn't hurt, either.
