  1. Godsend
    Every scare is telegraphed. Every surprise is recycled from a better thriller. Even the devil would send this one back.
  2. Envy
    Environmentalists are up in arms. "Where did the shit go?" they want to know. The answer is painfully obvious: into the screenplay.
  3. Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius
    It's too bad. Jones deserved better than a biopic with a TV-movie heart.
  4. Mean Girls
    The plot is flimsy, but director Mark Waters (Freaky Friday) trusts Fey's tart dialogue to carry the day. Wise man. Fey subverts formula to find comic gold. She's a brash new voice in movie comedy. Boy, do we need her now.
  5. Kill Bill: Vol. 2
    You'll thrill to the action, savor the tasty dialogue and laugh like bloody hell.
  6. The Punisher
    Among the recent spate of comic-book movies, from "Spider-Man" to the "X-Men," The Punisher is unique.
  7. Young Adam
    Tepid.
  8. The Girl Next Door
    Director Luke Greenfield, the auteur behind "The Animal," starring Rob Schneider, wants to pass off this limp-dick farce as social satire. Ha!
  9. I'm Not Scared
    In the guise of a nerve-jangling thriller, director Gabriele Salvatores, an Oscar winner for "Mediterraneo," delivers a fierce, frightening and deeply moving study of childhood. It's a keeper.
  10. Walking Tall
    There was a time when guys would grab a six-pack and watch this kind of flick at a drive-in. I mean that as a compliment.
  11. Hellboy
    Hellboy is on fire with scares and laughs and del Toro’s visionary dazzle. It’s the tenderness that comes as an unexpected bonus.
  12. 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.
  13. Jersey Girl
    Affleck is modest and engaging, which keeps the movie out of "Gigli" territory. But it's close.
  14. 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.
  15. Bon voyage
    It’s sexy, suspenseful fun, and gorgeous-looking to boot.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Hidalgo
    An adventure that never met a cliche it couldn't saddle, mount and ride for a butt-numbing two hours and sixteen minutes.
  20. 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.

    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.
  22. 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.
  23. Against the Ropes
    Critics and audiences should unite to KO this loser.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
  26. 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.
  27. 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.
  28. The Dreamers
    The Dreamers may go slack when you most want it to soar, but it also seduces with eroticism and resonates with ideas.
  29. The Big Bounce
    Except for a rare scene of shaggy charm, nothing works. Nothing.
  30. 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.
