  1. Surviving Christmas
    Can't decide whether it wants to be a black comedy, dumb farce, or sentimental sit-com.
  2. The Machinist
    A harrowing experience for those to whom this sort of story appeals.
  3. Undertow
    Although there is violence and danger, this is less about the chase than it is about the relationship between the siblings.
  4. Sex Is Comedy
    The film's central flaw is that the characters are haphazardly developed, and don't come across as more interesting than the props.
  5. Team America: World Police
    This movie is more of a curiosity than a fully formed motion picture.
  6. Shall We Dance
    I walked out of the original Shall We Dance? with a silly grin on my face. I left this one shaking my head, wondering where it had all gone wrong.
  7. Being Julia
    Because I so enjoyed the last 45 minutes, I'm tempted to recommend it. The problem is that you have to sit through an hour to get to the worthwhile parts.
  8. P.S.
    An intriguing and satisfying romance that may hold some appeal even for those who normally do not like films about affairs of the heart.
  9. Moolaadé
    Fatoumata Coulibaly's peformance is striking. She plays her character with a mixture of determination and compassion.
  10. Vera Drake
    For those who have the patience to become absorbed in this kind of drama, Vera Drake offers a stunningly real character portrait whose image will linger long after the movie has faded.
  11. Friday Night Lights
    Berg's picture is certainly an above average effort that provides a solid emotional punch.
  12. Stage Beauty
    For every thing that Stage Beauty does right, it fumbles at least one other element, resulting in a movie-going experience that is of the glass half-full/half-empty variety.
  13. Ladder 49
    One could argue that such an approach isn't all bad - after all, it allows us to know and like the characters - but there are times when Ladder 49 gets a little too cute.
  14. Shark Tale
    Represents solid family entertainment, and will find a special place in the hearts of those who adore the "Godfather" movies and the TV series "The Sopranos."
  15. I Heart Huckabees
    A lot of people are going to describe it as a waste of time, yet there's a likeability to the quirky characters that held my interest while tickling my funny bone.
  16. Shaun of the Dead
    This is an unusual source of entertainment.
  17. The Forgotten
    This could easily go down as the year's best example of solid acting in a wretched motion picture.
  18. A Dirty Shame
    Tracey Ullman is a bright spot in an otherwise sordid, murky production.
  19. Mr 3000
    Understands baseball and the men who play it, and, for a film about the sport, that's half the battle.
  20. Wimbledon
    A crowd-pleaser.
  21. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
    70% style and 30% substance. It has a plot and characters, but those are almost beside the point.
  22. Silver City
    That Sayles is able to say these things in the context of a compelling story with well-defined characters makes this one of the early fall triumphs of 2004.
  23. Criminal
    A respectable caper movie in the tradition of "The Sting" and David Mamet's "Heist."
  24. Paparazzi
    One has the sense that if the level of violence had been ratcheted up a little, Paparazzi might have been more of a guilty pleasure and less of a chore to watch.
  25. Wicker Park
    As the movie approached the end credits, I cared about what happened to these characters, and that made the coincidences and occasional missteps forgivable.
  26. Vanity Fair
    Despite its flaws, the movie is compulsively watchable, and few will be bored by it. It's a charming movie that falls short of greatness, but is still worth a solid recommendation.
  27. The Brown Bunny
    The Brown Bunny is one long, self-indulgent bore topped off with a hard-core porn scene featuring Gallo and co-star Chloë Sevigny.
  28. Hero
    If there's a drawback, it's that the plot is trite. Hero is an exemplary example of visual poetry. The narrative is clearly of secondary concern.
  29. Without a Paddle
    So bad that it will annoy and/or bore those who have minimal standards and a high tolerance for sewage.
  30. Mean Creek
    By entering such fertile, intellectually stimulating and psychologically rich territory, Estes provides us with a freshman feature that is far beyond the generic coming-of-age tale Mean Creek initially seems to be.
