  1. Powerful, important and refreshingly straightforward documentary.
  2. Amazingly amateurish, the film lands wide of satirical targets that should be impossible to miss.
  3. Might have worked as a travelogue, minus the story. In its present form, it is hardly worth the $10 you will be asked to fork over at the box office.
  4. Familiar and predictable enough, especially if you have seen Hollywood serial-killer thrillers like "Se7en."
  5. The characters are so cartoonish, it's hard to care on any level -- except that it wastes such talented performers.
  6. An example of lazy, dumb and couldn't-care-less hack movie making.

  7. Flat dialogue and stiff performances (especially by the street kids, like Ballesteros, turned into actors by Schroeder) don't help.
  8. Skip it, and rent "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" instead.
  9. There are also food scenes that will whet your appetite. But somehow a satisfying climax never makes it out of the oven.
  10. Much of the resulting material is very funny, though there are a few times when the filmmakers patronize or mock their subjects in a way that makes you uncomfortable.
  11. Easily one of the most enjoyable big-budget Hollywood movies to come along in a while, Rock Star is an unexpected pleasure.
  12. Neither convincing nor remotely dramatic.
  13. Depicts the bleak suburban milieu in a manner that avoids exploitation.
  14. Agonizingly slow-moving and talky, it consists primarily of conversations between two men in a truck.
  15. A micro-budget black-and-white musical set in outer space, The American Astronaut is obviously not for all tastes -- but it's quite unlike anything else out there at the moment.
  16. O
    Exceptionally intelligent and powerful contemporary adaptation.
  17. The first half-hour of Jeepers Creepers is so frightening that it's almost a relief when the movie subsequently collapses into silliness.
  18. Powerful, provocative and often surprisingly funny, this may be the year's outstanding documentary.
  19. English-language remakes of foreign films are usually suspect, but Tortilla Soup is the exception that proves the rule - a flavorful comedy about a food-centric Latino family in Los Angeles.
  20. Free love, vegetarianism and lack of personal property are the rule.
  21. A deep disappointment to fans of sci-fi and the once great John Carpenter.
  22. This would be a stultifyingly incestuous affair even if all the jokes about fertilization weren't so tiresomely lame and predictable.

  23. This is an overlong film interesting chiefly for its performances.

  24. The originality and intelligence that made Smith's "Clerks" and "Chasing Amy" such refreshing pleasures are all but absent.
  25. For one thing, it goes on too long. But it looks good, the cast is perky.
  26. Summer Catch is the sludge at the bottom of the barrel.
  27. Fitfully funny at best, it's a sophomoric, facetious road comedy.
  28. Woody Allen's most purely entertaining film in years.
  29. It turns into something that is much smarter, and in a gentle, low-key way, tougher and funnier than you expect.
  30. This is a beautifully acted chamber piece --especially by the magnificent Blake, who is married to Norris in real life.
