  1. The Trumpet of the Swan
    Modest, unassuming fare for younger children.
  2. Bread and Roses
    Full of pungent and telling observation.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  3. The King Is Alive
    Fascinating and strangely involving piece.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  4. A Knight's Tale
    A bewildering but never boring yarn.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  5. About Adam
    Delightfully reflect the abandonment of the old image and way of life.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  6. A Question of Faith
    Doesn't run very deep, or resonate with profound meaning. But as a thoughtful fable, laced with humor, the picture has its charms.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  7. Eureka
    A work that demands patience, and it will easily exasperate some moviegoers.
  8. Time and Tide
    Kinetic and kooky, with a climactic shoot-out at a rail station that's daring in its ridiculousness.
  9. Under the Sand
    Ozon has crafted a near-perfect film, a mournful, moving kind of cinema poetry.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  10. The Mummy Returns
    Although the sequel retains its predecessor's breezy retro spirit, The Mummy Returns is a mite darker and scarier and the effects a little spiffier.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  11. One Night at McCool's
    A curious screwball "noir," doesn't so much bend established genres as blend them into an unappetizing cocktail, where they curdle before pouring.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  12. Town & Country
    The humor here is overcooked to the point of limpness.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  13. The Golden Bowl
    If The Golden Bowl -- isn't charged with electric emotion, well, that's not what Henry James or James Ivory is about.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  14. Driven
    Driven is in both its script and its execution a paint-by-numbers affair.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  15. Harry Is Here to Help
    The film is a small and polished gem that proves that with a friend like Harry, nobody needs an enemy.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  16. Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles
    I laughed once.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  17. The Luzhin Defence
    Falls short of being totally absorbing and compelling.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  18. The Low Down
    Defiantly different, a movie that carefully checks the pulse of its characters rather than trying to get the blood rushing.
  19. The Center of the World
    Where Mike Figgis' film, with Nicolas Cage and Elisabeth Shue, bore deeply and darkly into emotional territory, The Center of the World turns out to be just as fake as its setting.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  20. Bridget Jones's Diary
    As adorable and predictable a film as the Helen Fielding best-seller that inspired it.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  21. The Circle
    Quiet, rageful indictment of a two-tiered Islamic society.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  22. Joe Dirt
    Just a big chunk of waste flushed from a Hollywood studio.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  23. Josie and the Pussycats
    Follows its heroines' rise and wising-up with a giddy, "Hard Day's Night" enthusiasm.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  24. Kingdom Come
    More a grab-bag of loosely connected scenes and lives than a film with a firm sense of direction.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  25. Chopper
    Its dabs of dark comedy and stabs of gore, still rings with a sense of the real. It's electric-charged.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  26. Blow
    The real problem is that there's nothing to George but the movie's props.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  27. Along Came a Spider
    A thriller is only as good as its villain is bad, and this is the film's problem.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  28. Beautiful Creatures
    Cold and stylish, slick and violent.
    • Philadelphia Inquirer
  29. The Day I Became a Woman
    Underlines the nightmare of entrapment so vividly captured in The Day I Became a Woman.
  30. The Girl
    Suggests that one way women can fight male violence is by using the weapons of the alpha male: Marking one's territory and firing upon anyone who trespasses.
