  1. Dr. Dolittle 2
    Alleged family fun.
  2. Songcatcher
    McTeer and the transporting music hold you in thrall.
  3. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
    Slick-dick director Simon West, of "Con Air" and "The General's Daughter" infamy, continues to show no flair at all for blending action and character. Jolie and Lara deserved better. So did we.
  4. Sexy Beast
    Kingsley creates an unforgettable monster. Acting rarely gets this hypnotically explosive.
  5. Swordfish
    Exhibits rank incompetence on every level.
  6. Evolution
    It's refried comic beans that smell stale and smack of desperation.
  7. The Anniversary Party
    They turn what could have been an acting stunt into an intimate and compelling study of bruised emotions.
  8. The Animal
    Reeks like something produced from a squatting position.
  9. What's the Worst That Could Happen?
    Lawrence forgoes his knack for verbal comedy and replaces it with crude nonstop mugging.
  10. Rape Me
    Certainly blunt, and since Anderson and Bach are veterans of the porn trade, there is no skimping on the sex.
  11. The Road Home
    The director finds poetry in the face of his lead actress, whose performance is as luminous and moving as the film itself.
  12. Pearl Harbor
    The film has no soul. An epic about this day of infamy should shake you to the core. But the real infamy about Pearl Harbor is that when you exit, you don't feel a thing.
  13. The Man Who Cried
    Potter gets the period details right, but the film itself has long since flown off the rails, miring good intentions in rank soap opera.
  14. Angel Eyes
    A romantic thriller of more than usual ineptitude.
  15. Shrek
    A world-class charmer that could even seduce the Academy when it hands out the first official animation Oscar next year.
  16. Moulin Rouge!
    The grand becomes grandiose and the lyrical turns bombastic.
  17. Startup.com
    Delivers more suspense than a tombful of mummies.
  18. A Knight's Tale
    It's a dumb summer movie done with smarts.
  19. About Adam
    Writer-director Gerard Stembridge keeps the amoral laughs bubbling.
  20. Under the Sand
    It's a role of fierce demands, and Rampling meets them all. In a summer of crass, Rampling is a true class act.
  21. The Mummy Returns
    We have to suffer through two hours of this rancid summer cheese.
  22. One Night at McCool's
    Tyler, a true beauty, gives the role a valiant try, but her range is too limited to play this amalgam of female perfection.
  23. Freddy Got Fingered
    It feels manufactured to be suitable for mass consumption.
  24. Lakeboat
    Brought to the screen awkwardly but ardently by Mamet-actor supreme Joe Mantegna in his feature-directing debut.
  25. Bridget Jones's Diary
    Delivers frisky fun for bruised romantics regardless of age, sex or nationality.
  26. The Circle
    Panahi creates a raw, riveting film.
  27. Joe Dirt
    In one scene, raw sewage is dumped on Joe. See Joe Dirt and you'll know how that feels.
  28. Josie and the Pussycats
    Harmless girlie trifle. Or at least it means to be.
  29. Blow
    Scorches the screen with a badass bravado all its own. Smart, sexy, funny and dangerous this high-wire act is a movie and a half.
  30. Along Came a Spider
    Alex Cross has been neutered on film, deprived of his sexuality, his family, his friends.
