  1. A Good Woman
    The movie succeeds because screenwriter Howard Himelstein keeps Wilde's best lines intact and the actors speak the words with practiced confidence.
  2. When a Stranger Calls
    The movie ends with a bizarre and unsatisfying denouement. The epilogue, which is designed either to set up a sequel or lampoon "Halloween 2," plays like a sour last note. I suppose someone thought it was clever, but it doesn't work.
  3. Something New
    The film is not riotous, but it is sporadically amusing.
  4. Bubble
    In movies this deliberately paced, the line between fascination and boredom is a fine one, easily crossed. Fortunately, Bubble stays on the right side of that line.
  5. Annapolis
    This isn't as much a movie as it is a recipe for a cinematic casserole in which the ingredients are clichés and rip-offs.
  6. Nanny McPhee
    An excellent movie… if you're a seven-year old girl. That's less a negative evaluation than it is a statement of fact. This isn't a "family film;" it's a "children's film."
  7. Imagine Me & You
    Imagine Me & You isn't unpleasant, but it is unremarkable. If nothing else, it proves that gay romances can be just as uninspired as their heterosexual counterparts.
  8. Manderlay
    Plagued by moralizing so strident and a style so artificial that the story never has a chance to speak to an audience.
  9. Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story
    The tone is lighthearted and the performances are effective but, in the end, the feature is so inconsequential as to leave no lasting impression.
  10. Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World
    Strange that a movie about comedy is so lacking in this quality.
  11. Underworld: Evolution
    Designed with Underworld fans in mind. Others need not apply.
  12. Glory Road
    Glory Road's strength is the way in which it blends social awareness into the sports genre.
  13. Tristan and Isolde
    There's something beautiful about a well-made tragic love story. It may not be as uplifting as one with a happy ending, but it's more cathartic.
  14. Hostel
    A thrill-less thriller that uses gore to obfuscate its inability to generate tension, this motion picture has the profile one might expect from a direct-to-video release.
  15. Grandma's Boy
    This is one of those movies where you stay rooted in your seat just to see how bad it can really get.
  16. The Promise
    The over-the-top acting is forgivable, but the plot's incoherence is not.
  17. Match Point
    Not only could one argue that this is the best "serious" work the director has ever attempted, but it's presented in a way that even the most seasoned Allen fan will have difficulty recognizing the iconic filmmaker's fingerprints.
  18. Casanova
    What happens when movie producers cross "Three's Company" with "Masterpiece Theater?" The result would be similar to what Touchstone Pictures has provided with Casanova, a farcical romantic comedy period piece.
  19. Rumor Has It...
    An unfocused mess, with poor chemistry all around and an ending that's as firm and satisfying as an overcooked noodle.
  20. The New World
    The New World is beautiful and lyrical and, except for the ill-advised voiceovers, a treat for more than one of the senses.
  21. The Matador
    There's nothing edgy or groundbreaking about The Matador, but it's funny, touching, and ultimately endearing.
  22. Munich
    A film of uncommon depth, intelligence, and sensitivity.
  23. Caché (Hidden)
    While Caché offers food for thought, the last third is muddled.
  24. Fun with Dick and Jane
    Much of the film's comedy feels muted; Fun with Dick and Jane isn't a lot of fun.
  25. The Family Stone
    This is the best adult holiday film in a while.
  26. The Producers
    The Producers is a movie based on a play based on a movie about a play. And that's probably the funniest thing about it.
  27. Hoodwinked!
    When compared to today's visual standards for animated films, Hoodwinked is far below the curve.
  28. King Kong
    The best of the trio of human performers is Naomi Watts. She also has the most difficult job - not only is the role physical, but it requires her to play off something that isn't there.
  29. Memoirs of a Geisha
    There's no doubting that Memoirs of a Geisha is a lush motion picture, and it has much to recommend it, but this will not go down as one of the great screen romances of the 2000s.
  30. Brokeback Mountain
    Isn't for everyone, but for those who are not bothered by the homosexual relationship, it offers a study in yearning, love, and loss. It didn't affect me as deeply as either "The Bridges of Madison County" or "The Remains of the Day," but it evokes some of the same feelings.
