  1. Friday Night
    A mesmerizing erotic odyssey.
  2. Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
    Something cold and mechanical has seeped into the sequel. The divas push so hard for fun, it kills the spontaneity that fun needs to breathe.
  3. 28 Days Later...
    Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland plumb the violence of the mind with slashing wit and shocking gravity. Happy nightmares.
  4. Alex & Emma
    Reiner gets lucky with his two stars. Wilson has charm to spare, and Hudson brings humor and sexiness to playing Emma and four au pair girls from different countries. But even they can't float a balloon with lead in it.
  5. Hulk
    Lee's technique is impeccable, but he's chasing more inner demons than one creature feature can handle. No wonder the audience cheers when TV Hulk Lou Ferrigno shows up for a cameo. It's a reminder of a time when it was easier being green and a Hulk could just get pissed off and bust shit up.
  6. Jet Lag
    This is the kind of movie that they show on planes -- white noise that lulls you to sleep.
  7. The Heart of Me
    There's heart but not much heat in this film version of "The Echoing Grove."
  8. Hollywood Homicide
    Escapism with a human touch -- it feels lived-in.
  9. Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd
    The jokes? "Chicks are for fags," says Lloyd. The film is subtitled When Harry Met Lloyd. Believe me, you don't want to be there.
  10. Love the Hard Way
    To shine in a turd like this shows Brody has the stuff that -- damn the Oscar jinx -- makes an actor last.
  11. The Eye
    The Pangs deliver enough shivery scares to keep you up nights. Eyes wide shut.
  12. Whale Rider
    A film of female empowerment that resonates deeply.
  13. The Italian Job
    A triumph for the machines, more proof that we do indeed live in the Matrix.
  14. Capturing the Friedmans
    It's a modern horror story that gets you where you live.
  15. Finding Nemo
    Leave it to a g-rated cartoon to give the live-action epics a lesson in action, fun and bracing originality.
  16. The In-Laws
    Everything sly and low-key about The In-Laws, a 1979 comedy...is supersized and coarsened in Andrew Fleming's remake.
  17. The Matrix Reloaded
    The Wachowskis have put together a mix of culture, kung fu, sci-fi and speculation, that makes them the warped wonders they are. When the film ends with a "To Be Continued," the hooks are in for The Matrix Revolutions on November 5th. Maybe I've been programmed to say it, but I am so there.
  18. Only the Strong Survive
    One for the time capsule.
  19. Daddy Day Care
    Murphy looks comatose delivering the played-out poopy jokes.
  20. The Shape of Things
    The actors nail the comic sting in every line, punctuated by eleven prime Elvis Costello songs.
  21. Down with Love
    What starts as freshly spun cotton candy ends as something pink, sticky and indigestible. You leave the theater wanting to puke it up.
  22. X2: X-Men United
    A summer firecracker. It's also a tribute to outcasts -- teens, gays, minorities, even Dixie Chicks. It's not without thought or feeling, except when its mind gets bent by the gods of box office. Then it's craven and empty.
  23. The Dancer Upstairs
    Malkovich weaves something delicate and devastating.
  24. Blue Car
    Bruckner is an amazement, piercing the heart without begging for sympathy. This small gem of a movie is the perfect setting for her breakthrough performance.
  25. Spellbound
    By the time they're onstage, your pulse is pounding right along with theirs. Spell this movie: g-r-e-a-t.
  26. A Decade Under the Influence
    Here's a fireball documentary about the 1970s, when filmmakers were stoked by sex, drugs, rock and, oh, yeah, social conscience.
  27. Confidence
    Scenes with Burns crackle with the toxic energy that makes Confidence a game worth playing.
  28. Winged Migration
    The result is a movie miracle; it soars.
  29. Lilya 4-Ever
    Lukas Moodysson, a young Swedish director, crafts a stunner of a film out of familiar turf.
  30. A Mighty Wind
    I've seen A Mighty Wind only twice so far. Maybe it is less fresh than "Guffman," more strained than "Best in Show." Who cares? It's still a gift from comedy heaven.
