  1. The Shallows
    The girl kept talking and strategizing as heavy string music played on the soundtrack. This was doubly weird because: a) it made me feel like the bad guy; and b) life doesn’t normally have a soundtrack. Somehow the bitch got hold of a flare gun. Ever had a flare gun fired into your hide? Unpleasant.
  2. The Experiment
    One of those all-too-rare cases in which a riveting premise is expertly executed.
  3. Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade
    Its plot and political symbolism manage to be both over-familiar and confusingly muddled.
  4. Waking the Dead
    Structurally flawed, occasionally shlocky, but written with unusual intelligence and subtlety.
  5. Boesman and Lena
    Awfully poky, even for an art film.
    • New York Post
  6. L'ennui
    Talky, overlong and, ultimately, just as predictable and repetitive as the maddening relationship it depicts.
  7. A Home at the End of the World
    Well-meaning yawn-fest.
  8. The Best Man Holiday
    A likable cast and interior-­décor porn worthy of Martha Stewart Living are the highlights of The Best Man Holiday, but the mix of raunchy sex comedy and Christian faith doesn’t quite come off.
  9. Copying Beethoven
    Harris can be a brilliant actor, and there are flashes of that here. But he's done in by a script that lacks any subtlety.
  10. Shakespeare High
    Stage performance is good training for life, claims this documentary about a high school Shakespeare competition.
  11. Outside the Law
    A powerful, decades-spanning epic about that country's fight for independence centering on three brothers.
  12. Nights and Weekends
    This movie belongs to its stars, who also wrote and produced. You can't say their acting is good or bad because they are not really acting. They're just being themselves, pubic hair and all.
  13. Better Than Chocolate
    Better Than Chocolate is well-filmed and for the most part well-acted. But its technical professionalism only serves to make the amateurishly crude patches of Maggie Thompson's script more obvious. [13 Aug 1999, p.062]

  14. Little Monsters
    Director-writer Abe Forsythe (“Down Under”) nails a handful of funny juxtapositions, but too often leans into mean-spirited and tired yuks. As far as red flags for lameness go, fat-kid and pooping your pants jokes are, well, dead giveaways.
  15. Tower Heist
    This movie doesn't get huffy, it gets laughs.
  16. Sarah's Key
    Sarah's Key belongs to the Holocaust for Dummies section of Harvey Weinstein's History for Dummies series of mer etricious glossy dramas that ransack global events and turn them into middlebrow women's weepies to fill his trophy case.
  17. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
    It’s adequately visionary, it’s routinely spectacular, it breathes fire and yet somehow feels room-temperature.
  18. Don't Move
    The script is morose and unfocused - not to mention hard to believe and insulting to women.
  19. Anywhere But Here
    Well worth seeing for the incandescent Portman.
    • New York Post
  20. Happenstance
    That is not an original idea, for sure. But the ensemble cast -- especially Tatou as a 24-year-old store clerk named Irene -- is personable and the Parisian ambiance is catching.
  21. Winter Solstice
    A well-built machine that dunks you into a big warm vat of sadness. There's no plot: It's a situation drama. Instead of punch lines, it delivers regular shots of heartbreak.
  22. Sleep Dealer
    Far more worth seeing than most of what's out there.
  23. Only When I Dance
    Finzi's lovingly filmed movie draws viewers into the lives of its two young heroes. You don't have to be a ballet buff to be moved by Isabela's and Irlan's stories.
  24. My Afternoons with Margueritte
    Depardieu's days as a leading man might be over, but he has a bright future in quirky roles like Germain.
  25. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2
    Whelk, I hope the makers of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs earned a nice celery, but I’m afraid they made a hash of things. A hash seasoned with oy sauce.
  26. Rory O'Shea Was Here
    Grows ever more manipulative and predictable.
  27. Godzilla vs. Kong
    This time, ‘Zilla and Kong face off in ginormous Hong Kong — a destruction junkie’s dream battlefield. Neon, chrome and oversize animals clobbering each other. Also around is another adversary whose reveal will have fans drooling. See Godzilla vs. Kong on the big screen if you can.
  28. The Ballad of Jack and Rose
    If one enjoyed manufacturing symbols as much as Miller, one might speculate that Rose is Rebecca Miller, aching to be her own artist, and Jack is Arthur.
  29. Go for Sisters
    The element that really makes it work — when it does, which is not always — is Edward James Olmos, playing to perfection a weary retired police detective.
  30. Doctor Sleep
    The complex plot takes some time to get used to, especially if you’ve come to the theater expecting a story consistent with the simplicity of “The Shining.” If that was easy as pie, this is easy as Pi. But when it confidently hits its stride near the middle, Doctor Sleep is gripping.
