  1. Heartlessly efficient kidnap thriller.
  2. Fluffy, inconsistent, but enjoyable.
  3. A fussy piece of schmaltz that makes you long for "Stand By Me," a vastly superior coming-of-age tale from King's pen.
  4. A witty, well-acted, visually gorgeous ensemble drama.
  5. With awkward acting, plotting and direction, this is no "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "Jungle Fever" or "One Potato, Two Potato."
  6. The film looks nifty, but the flat and unemotional English-language dialogue lessens its impact.
  7. Essential viewing not just for those fascinated by adventure, exploration and survival, but for anyone interested in the magic of leadership.
  8. Director Frears, in a radical shift from "High Fidelity," again (as in "Dangerous Liaisons") shows he's a master of period detail and subtle storytelling -- and the performances couldn't be more on the money.
  9. Helplessly clichéd, predictable and unaware of its own lameness, it could easily become a camp classic on the order of "Grease 2" and "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
  10. A nifty piece of entertainment that says a lot about American society.
  11. This must be one of the worst movies ever to get a big-screen release. If it weren't so boring, this unbelievably bad indie sex comedy would be worth going to for five minutes of laughs at its sheer incompetence.
  12. A powerful piece of filmmaking.
  13. Powerful, important and refreshingly straightforward documentary.
  14. Amazingly amateurish, the film lands wide of satirical targets that should be impossible to miss.
  15. 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.
  16. Familiar and predictable enough, especially if you have seen Hollywood serial-killer thrillers like "Se7en."
  17. The characters are so cartoonish, it's hard to care on any level -- except that it wastes such talented performers.
  18. An example of lazy, dumb and couldn't-care-less hack movie making.

  19. Flat dialogue and stiff performances (especially by the street kids, like Ballesteros, turned into actors by Schroeder) don't help.
  20. Skip it, and rent "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" instead.
  21. There are also food scenes that will whet your appetite. But somehow a satisfying climax never makes it out of the oven.
  22. 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.
  23. Easily one of the most enjoyable big-budget Hollywood movies to come along in a while, Rock Star is an unexpected pleasure.
  24. Neither convincing nor remotely dramatic.
  25. Depicts the bleak suburban milieu in a manner that avoids exploitation.
  26. Agonizingly slow-moving and talky, it consists primarily of conversations between two men in a truck.
  27. 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.
  28. O
    Exceptionally intelligent and powerful contemporary adaptation.
  29. The first half-hour of Jeepers Creepers is so frightening that it's almost a relief when the movie subsequently collapses into silliness.
  30. Powerful, provocative and often surprisingly funny, this may be the year's outstanding documentary.
