  1. It'll mainly appeal to film-biz insiders.
  2. Pleasant but lifeless love story.
  3. Eric Schaeffer's rip-off -- er, homage -- to "Magnolia," is a marginally better movie than his previous self-absorbed atrocities like "My Life's in Turnaround" and "Wirey Spindell."
  4. Ranks high on the squirm meter. But, unlike in most of her earlier work, there's no emotional payoff.
  5. Tends to run low on steam well before the end, though Waters gamely tries to pump things up with filthy novelty tunes and clips from old stag films.
  6. A devilish updating of Verdi's "Rigoletto."
  7. An amusing side dish to the sober political documentaries flooding the art houses, The Yes Men effectively uses high farce to mock the status quo as a way of questioning it.
  8. A surprisingly edgy comedy.
  9. An ultra-predictable if essentially painless romantic comedy.
  10. A collection of such dazzling digital illusions you can't wait for it to hit DVD so you can freeze individual images.
  11. An overlong melodrama-by-numbers.
  12. It's rather sweet and life-affirming, although the transformation from sophisticate to peasant happens too conveniently and quickly.
  13. A wickedly sexy Daryl Hannah is particularly memorable as the Pilager family's black sheep Maddy.
  14. Brainless and pointless.
  15. One big cliche.
  16. Some advice: Don't even bother trying to figure out what's going on in Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence -- just sit back and enjoy the lush, trippy visuals.
  17. A loving tribute to cinema by Tsai Ming-liang, one of Taiwan's most accomplished and popular directors.
  18. Can be taken as a parable about cinema art vs. commerce. If that's too much to think about, just enjoy the off-beat humor.
  19. One of those painfully earnest -- and pretentious -- little indies in which a pair of emotional cripples neatly resolve all of their problems within 48 hours of meeting each other.
  20. Certainly the most painfully unfunny of the countless bad movies that have licensed the name of the long-defunct humor magazine.
  21. Basinger appears to be literally phoning in from another movie in the highly improbable, maniacally action-packed thriller-cum-comedy Cellular.
  22. There is nothing startlingly new in Resident Evil: Apocalpyse, but it is delivered with some panache and humor.
  23. Jacobs keeps the action moving rapidly and gets solid performances from an ensemble cast, especially the rumpled Reilly.
  24. There's really nothing new here, though, and lacking the drama and humor of "Fahrenheit 9/11," it is even more likely to be preaching to the converted.
  25. Uber-hip technique triumphs over substance in Reconstruction.
  26. Dangerously low on laughs and sex, not to mention believability.
  27. When Will I Be Loved would rate no stars except for Campbell's brave, totally committed performance -- which deserves a far better movie than this.
  28. These were people willing to take chances. Would that Trank had taken chances in telling their stories.
  29. About as exciting as watching someone else's home movies -- albeit, beautifully photographed ones.
  30. A throwback to the kind of '80s action flicks that had titles like "Adrenaline Force," is enlivened by a raft of celebrity cameos, including a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance by Gibson.
