  1. Jersey Girl
    Affleck is modest and engaging, which keeps the movie out of "Gigli" territory. But it's close.
  2. The Ladykillers
    It's as if the brothers admired the Swiss-watch precision of the original and wanted to take it apart to see how the pieces would work in a new setting. As an experiment, it's fascinating. But damn if the fiddling doesn't suck the life out of the laughs.
  3. Dogville
    Kidman gives the most emotionally bruising performance of her career in Dogville, a movie that never met a cliche it didn't stomp on.
  4. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
    Chases so many ideas that it threatens to spin out of control. But with our multiplexes stuffed with toxic Hollywood formula, it's a gift to find a ballsy movie that thinks it can do anything, and damn near does.
  5. Taking Lives
    If you can buy the pillow-lipped Angelina Jolie as a psychic FBI agent in Montreal to hunt a serial killer, then you can swallow the other implausibilities in this retread thriller.
  6. Bon voyage
    It’s sexy, suspenseful fun, and gorgeous-looking to boot.
  7. Spartan
    Imagine David Mamet rewriting his political satire "Wag the Dog" -- in which a president and his advisers declare war to distract the media from the prez's horn-dog activities -- as a joke-free kidnap drama.
  8. Starsky & Hutch
    Were detective Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and his partner, Ken Hutchinson (David Soul), hot for each other when they started working undercover in Bay City?... you can watch Starsky and Hutch on the big screen and see subtext stiffen into hard and hilarious evidence.
  9. Hidalgo
    An adventure that never met a cliche it couldn't saddle, mount and ride for a butt-numbing two hours and sixteen minutes.

    Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
    Luna and Garai struggle to look like they're having the time of their life. But the movie, more wan than wicked, proves you can't go home again.
  11. The Passion of the Christ
    Powerfully moving and fanatically obtuse in equal doses. The typical star rating doesn't apply, because scenes range from classic to poor and all stops in between.
  12. Against the Ropes
    Critics and audiences should unite to KO this loser.
  13. Welcome to Mooseport
    A comedy so devoid of wit and point that not mentioning the other actors trapped in this rathole would be an act of charity.
  14. 50 First Dates
    It's a kick to see the adorably sexy Barrymore back in relaxed form again after the "Duplex" debacle and that calamitous "Charlie's Angels" sequel. Right now, she's the closest thing to sunshine you'll find at the movies.
  15. Barbershop 2: Back in Business
    It’s feels like the New Puritanism (recently repped by the outcry over Janet Jackson’s "wardrobe malfunction" at the Super Bowl) is seeping in. But in the barbershop? Say it isn’t so.
  16. Miracle
    You keep rooting for the team, mostly because director Gavin O’Connor (the terrific Tumbleweeds) cast real athletes instead of actors, a canny decision that pays major dividends when the big game is re-created.
  17. The Dreamers
    The Dreamers may go slack when you most want it to soar, but it also seduces with eroticism and resonates with ideas.
  18. The Big Bounce
    Except for a rare scene of shaggy charm, nothing works. Nothing.
  19. Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!
    The actors, especially Grace, fight hard against a schizoid script (the kids are rubes one sec, hipsters the next) and cotton-candy direction from Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde). It's a losing battle.
  20. The Butterfly Effect
    Nothing can save this repetitive bore. Dude, where's your memory?
  21. Made-Up
    Pointed and hilarious.
  22. Chasing Liberty
    Lacks the active verb it promises. It defines blah.
  23. My Baby's Daddy
    Diapers, even from three babies, can't stink worse than this.
  24. Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer
    Shocking and indispensable viewing.
  25. Japanese Story
    Tsunashima is superb, and a never-better Collette (The Sixth Sense, About a Boy, The Hours) has a radiant intensity that hits you right in the heart. She burns this movie into your memory.
  26. Cold Mountain
    The specter of war haunts Cold Mountain, but you remember it for the heat of its romantic yearning and the mysteries that wrap themselves around you until you're lost in another world.
  27. Paycheck
    The title of this limp retread of "Minority Report" -- both films are based on stories by Philip K. Dick -- presumably refers to the reason the big names involved did this movie.
  28. Peter Pan
    Despite a hint that Peter (Jeremy Sumpter) and Wendy (Rachel Hurd-Wood) might get it on, there's nothing to crow about.
  29. The Company
    Altman, showing the ardor and assurance of a master, pulls us into his film with seductive power. You won't want to miss a thing.
  30. Monster
    There's Theron, like a force of nature, compelling us to go beyond TV-movie supposition and look Wuornos straight in the eye. Her raw and riveting performance makes Monster an experience you won't forget.
