  1. But this is Washington's show, his Scarface, if you will, and his smiling, seductive monster is a thrilling creation that gives Training Day all the bite it needs.
  2. Abounds in pleasures.
  3. What a shame, though, that the movie isn't a livelier business.
  4. The funny and touching result is worth cheering for.
  5. A ragtag charmer. You will laugh.
  6. The film takes a true story and drags it through a swamp of hyped-up Hollywood cliches.
  7. It's a powerful and provocative achievement from a first-time filmmaker of enormous promise.
  8. Setting it against the backdrop of a wanton city under siege, Schroeder crafts a film of whiplash urgency.
  9. Launches the fall season with a crashing thud.
  10. Filming this mess in North Carolina (strike three).
  11. This hilarious and humane film nails its subject -- not just the unshaved armpits and the lack of underwear -- and marks Moodysson as a talent to watch.
  12. It's a real charmer from a director who feels that a knockabout romantic farce doesn't have to be mindless -- take that, "America's Sweethearts."
  13. A blast of comic irreverence that serves as a starring vehicle for two stoner characters who had previously been relegated to the sidelines.
  14. Fighter shapes up as one of the great documentaries of this year, or any other.
  15. As heartfelt as it is hilarious.

  16. Overheated, underdone farce. Race for the exit.
  17. A slipshod sequel that looks tossed together over a weekend by people who couldn't care less.
  18. A spine-tingler directed with fierce finesse.
  19. Only some bumpy, arid passages in the script keep The Others out of the master class occupied by the likes of "The Sixth Sense" and, my favorite, 1961's "The Innocents."
  20. Too crude for the kids and not crude enough for connoisseurs of the "Something About Mary" school of hair jism and balls caught in zippers, Osmosis Jones seems doomed to fall between the cracks.
  21. Springs surprises that entertain and provoke.
  22. An erotic thriller with flaws.
  23. Winds up being faster and funnier than the first time. Chan's acrobatic high jinks play strikingly off of Tucker's wiseass humor.
  24. With Apocalypse Now Redux — one for the ages when it comes to the moral battles of war — Coppola has reached the finish line at last. It smells like victory.
  25. With the exception of a battle scene with apes on all fours charging the humans, the film is monumentally silly.
  26. Lulls aside, Wain and Showalter deserve camp kudos for getting the details right.
  27. Chockablock with things we're not supposed to notice: that Roberts is wasted; that she and Cusack have no characters to play, so it's virtually impossible to understand why she loves him or vice versa; that the script provides comedy without bite and romance without resonance.
  28. Mitchell gives this post-punk, neo-glam rock extravaganza everything in his loaded arsenal of talents. He gets the sound right, the look right, the fun right and - this is crucial - the pain right.
  29. Let the unsettling secrets of this outrageously funny and steadily engrossing meditation on the life of two high school misfits after graduation catch you by surprise. It's that good.
  30. Stinks worse than dino dung. Sure, the creatures look good.
