  1. An Inconvenient Truth
    Avoiding the usual vein-popping diatribes, he comes across as learned, calm and folksy. But much of what Gore says in this slide show he gives to people whose minds are not yet fully formed (undergraduates, actors) is absurd, and his assertions often contradict each other.
  2. La Moustache
    Vincent Lindon, one of France's leading actors, is super as Marc, a man on a downward spiral into insanity. And Emmanuelle Devos is comforting as Marc's loving wife.
  3. Stagedoor
    A sloppy and only mildly engaging documentary.
  4. The Da Vinci Code
    Ron Howard's splendid The Da Vinci Code is the Holy Grail of summer blockbusters: a crackling, fast-moving thriller that's every bit as brainy and irresistible as Dan Brown's controversial bestseller.
  5. Over the Hedge
    If they were still making Looney Tunes, they'd look a lot like Over the Hedge.
  6. See No Evil
    It's hard to believe that the distributors of See No Evil were so afraid of what critics would say about their movie that they refused to provide advance screenings. The movie's target viewers aren't the type who read reviews, if they read at all.
  7. The King
    There is no tragedy without character, yet the way The King drapes heavy situations around its feebly imagined personalities suggests a tire thrown around the neck of a poodle.
  8. Lemming
    Rampling has a relatively small role in Lemming, but the 60-year-old star proves the high point of the suspenseful black comedy from France.
  9. Mouth to Mouth
    Filmmaker Alison Murray drew on her own experiences, but Mouth to Mouth would have benefited from more focus and fewer dance sequences.
  10. Twelve and Holding
    The film 12 and Holding brings you back to when you routinely said things like, "I'm going to kill you" or "We're soul mates" and meant it.
  11. Poseidon
    It's "Das Bomb." It's "The Perfunctory Storm."
  12. Just My Luck
    An appallingly unfunny and unromantic romantic comedy.
  13. Goal! The Dream Begins
    Has an awful title, a bland hero and a predictable story - but it also has a nice blast of English atmosphere.
  14. Dead Man's Shoes
    Very slowly builds to a powerful climax for this arty cross between "Straw Dogs" and "First Blood."
  15. Giuliani Time
    The documentary Giuliani Time, which seeks to knock our former mayor off his pedestal, hits him with all the force of a wadded-up Kleenex. Those who hope Rudy Giuliani never returns to public life must be getting panicky.
  16. Keeping Up with the Steins
    A sitcom with enough big laughs and emotional truth to get audiences past awkward pacing and some slow spots.
  17. Saving Shiloh
    An OK kids movie passing through on the way to video.
  18. Wah-Wah
    The story lacks focus. The senses blur as wives and ex-wives come and go, and Harry regularly falls off the wagon, only to reform the next day.
  19. Sketches of Frank Gehry
    The Sketches of Frank Gehry will appear this fall on PBS' "American Masters," which seems a more appropriate venue than theaters.
  20. Light from the East
    Of historical interest, although a more experienced filmmaker would have made more of the sudden rush of events - and avoided the temptation to put himself or herself into nearly every frame, as Grappell does.
  21. Russian Dolls
    Russian Dolls is itself a delightful mini-trip to Europe. Its overly cute bits are like cinematic tourist traps, but it's the beauty that stays with you.
  22. Crazy Like a Fox
    Winning performances by Roger Rees and Mary McDonnell, as well as colorful Virginia locations, lift Crazy Like a Fox slightly above the TV-caliber script by its director.
  23. Mission: Impossible III
    Though dated and unsophisticated compared to the much cooler Bourne spy thrillers, M:i:III will probably hit the sweet spot at the box-office - and give Cruise a whole new reason to start jumping on couches.
  24. Art School Confidential
    It doesn't help that the central character, Jerome - earnestly played by Max Minghella of "Bee Season" - is essentially a passive observer.
  25. An American Haunting
    Its images came from a dusty box in the horror-movie attic, and the attic is where the entire picture will be in a month.
  26. Hoot
    Hoot peaks during its wordless opening credits sequence, which swoops delightfully around Florida scenery. That, the cute owls and the easygoing songs by Jimmy Buffett, who also plays one of Roy's teachers, are the only things worth your trouble.
  27. Down in the Valley
    Sucker-punches you. It appears to be an engagingly sweet romance, but it's really just about other movies.
  28. The Proposition
    The quality of the acting, Cave's hellfire score and the heavy atmospherics of the directing merely dress up a cliché: Violence leads to more violence.
  29. One Last Thing...
    A movie so bad it's not even worth watching on DVD.
  30. Kiss Me Again
    Looks great for a no-budget indie, but not a single moment rings true in this sluggish vanity project, which is sorely in need of Viagra.
