  1. The Salton Sea
    It's Vincent D'Onofrio as Pooh-Bear, a drug lord who's snorted so much meth his nose had to be replaced by a plastic one, who kicks ass.
    • Rolling Stone
  2. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
    Like Vardalos and Corbett, who play their roles with vibrant charm, the film, directed by Joel Zwick, is heartfelt and hilarious in ways you can't fake. It's a keeper.
  3. Murder by Numbers
    A sappy big-screen version of TV's "CSI."
  4. Enigma
    A riveting and surprisingly romantic ride.
  5. Nine Queens
    Leaves you feeling tense and terrific. It's fun to be fooled.
  6. The Triumph of Love
    What we're watching, however charming, is a fancifully costumed theater piece that cuts off the oxygen needed to make a play breathe onscreen.
  7. The Cat's Meow
    Elegant, funny and unexpectedly touching, this whodunit about a murder aboard the yacht of William Randolph Hearst represents a bracing comeback for Peter Bogdanovich.
  8. Changing Lanes
    What these guys do for revenge during one hellish day in the Big Apple makes the panic room look like Barney's toy box. The film itself goes off the deep end way before the end credits.
  9. Run Ronnie Run
    Though the material isn't up to Mr. Show's high standards, some great laughs abound.
  10. Big Trouble
    The big problem with Big Trouble, despite a fine cast and director (Sonnenfeld made "Get Shorty" and "Men in Black"), is that the damn thing isn't funny.
  11. Van Wilder
    Painfully flat gross-out comedy.
  12. The Rookie
    Scores a solid hit.
  13. The Piano Teacher
    Watching Haneke's film is, aptly enough, a challenge and a punishment. But watching Huppert, a great actress tearing into a landmark role, is riveting.
  14. Time Out
    Recoing gives a performance that won't soon be forgotten. Neither will Time Out. It's a great movie.
  15. Death to Smoochy
    This black-comic assault on family entertainment is going to set a lot of teeth on edge -- If only his (De Vito's) material were better this time.
  16. Panic Room
    Panic Room is Fincher's high-style testament to the cool things movies can do to make us jump out of our seats in the dark.
  17. No Such Thing
    Does he (Hartley) succeed? Not with a movie this plodding, peevish and gimmicky. Is it fun to watch him try? Me, I'll take failed ambition over hack efficiency any day.
  18. Harrison's Flowers
    Director Elie Chouraqui, who co-wrote the script, catches the chaotic horror of war, but why bother if you're going to subjugate truth to the tear-jerking demands of soap opera?
  19. Showtime
    Add Showtime to the pile of Hollywood dreck that represents nothing more than the art of the deal.
  20. Y Tu Mamá También
    Cuaron's hot-blooded, haunting and wildly erotic film revels in the pleasures of the flesh without losing touch with thought and feeling.
  21. Stolen Summer
    Cringingly earnest, totally unremarkable fable.
  22. We Were Soldiers
    The battle, expertly shot by Dean Semler, captures the chaos of guerrilla warfare paralleled in "Black Hawk Down" and gives the film a scarring documentary realism.
  23. 40 Days and 40 Nights
    Yup, director Michael Lehmann, far from the glory days of "Heathers," has made a movie about a hard-on, in which he relentlessly pounds a flaccid premise.
  24. Monsoon Wedding
    Aims for pure joy and achieves it.
  25. Dragonfly
    I could puke.
  26. Hart's War
    Director Gregory Hoblit ("Primal Fear") is merely arranging cliches in new patterns until the surprise ending blows enough pro-military fervor up the audience's ass to make Colin Powell call a halt.
  27. Super Troopers
    Broken Lizard does it with a shit-faced integrity that's worth a salute.
  28. John Q
    John Q. is as fake as that tear, an exploitative mess trying to pass as social activism.
  29. Scotland, Pa.
    Walken is so funny, he almost makes you forget this flick is one joke stretched thinner than Calista Flockhart.
  30. Rollerball
    Say this for the soundtrack, it drowns out the lousy dialogue.
