  1. Time and Tide
    Ultimately feels hollow and slapdash.
  2. Under the Sand
    Fascinating, visually gorgeous cinematic study that will frustrate some viewers by its ambiguity.
  3. The Mummy Returns
    Sommers is a pure pop Steven Spielberg who's put his deft technical skills in the service of the ultimate rollercoaster movie ride. It's sometimes more exhausting than exciting.
  4. Deuces Wild
    In its best moments, resembles a bad high school production of "Grease," without benefit of song.
  5. One Night at McCool's
    A spirited, screwball crime-thriller with a sly heart.
  6. Town & Country
    What it doesn't have is a script that has anything original, cohesive, or, gasp -- funny -- to say.
  7. The Golden Bowl
    The restraint so magnificently applied in "The Remains of the Day" has simply fallen into disconnection.
  8. Driven
    Between Stallone's soap opera of a script and Renny Harlin's speed-obsessed visuals, we're never really shown much more than fast cars and obsessed drivers.
  9. Harry Is Here to Help
    From Harry's perspective, it's a grotesque life, a dead end for his new protege Michel, but Moll also shows the sensitivity beneath the sniping and that's where With a Friend Like Harry ... really scores
  10. Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles
    Refreshingly old-fashioned.
  11. The Luzhin Defence
    I can't think of another movie that more fluently communicates the special agony and ecstasy of the game of chess.
  12. The Low Down
    Covers this exact same territory, but does it with such refreshing, clearheaded honesty and skill it seems like a revelation.
  13. The Center of the World
    Sober and serious and downright glum, ultimately an all-too-familiar portrait of lonely souls unable to break through their own isolation.
  14. Lakeboat
    The most pure of Mamet's works to come to the screen.
  15. Brigham City
    A good-faith effort, if not completely successful.
  16. Bridget Jones's Diary
    An endearing comedy that could well end up being one of the year's big hits.
  17. The Circle
    A mix of the poetic and the polemic, the film is oddly abstract and untethered.
  18. Josie and the Pussycats
    A new millennium version of "A Hard Day's Night" without any wit to balance the silliness.
  19. Kingdom Come
    Cranks up the hysteria to screechy sitcom levels.
  20. Chopper
    Much ado about very little because it takes no stand and gives little insight into the Chopper's psyche.
  21. Blow
    Melancholy, haunting and riveting true-crime saga.
  22. Along Came a Spider
    It's a superior film in every way to its predecessor "Kiss the Girls."
  23. Beautiful Creatures
    Pitches itself somewhere between "Bound" and "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," trying to add a feminist twist to the spate of Britain's bloody gangster thrillers and never quite succeeding.
  24. The Day I Became a Woman
    Achieves its social commentary through passion and poetry.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    All Access: Front Row. Backstage. Live!
    It rolls in waves over the sedentary crowd until there's not a single soul left who's not keeping the beat.
  26. Just Visiting
    Not as funny as the original, not nearly as funny.
  27. Shadow Magic
    Never quite builds the compulsive emotional power it needs to be an unforgettable personal drama.
  28. The Tailor of Panama
    Energetic and inventive, it's a satirical, smart, grown-up thriller.
  29. Spy Kids
    One lousy little movie -- utterly devoid of any real originality or charm.
  30. Someone Like You...
    So witless, sit-com shallow and bad in every way that it's just not worthy of much discussion.
