  1. Adorenarin doraibu
    A clever, charming, laugh-out-loud-funny road comedy that works in almost every scene.
  2. The Big Kahuna
    The most totally appealing and seemingly heartfelt performance of (DeVito's) career.
  3. Committed
    The real problem here is that director Krueger has no flair as a writer or a director for inspired screwball comedy.
  4. Frequency
    A suspenseful, fascinating movie that milks the premise for all it's worth.
  5. Bossa Nova
    A cheerful and stylish romantic comedy that's easy on the eyes and ears, and makes few demands on the intellect.
  6. The Idiots
    Von Trier is far more hypocritical than his straw-figure characters, and he's simply too cynical and insincere to be provocative.
  7. The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
    Levant turns up the slapstick, doubletakes, and epic fart jokes to a tortured extreme.
  8. Timecode
    It induces a serious case of sensory overload that left me drained and edgy.
  9. Where the Heart Is
    In no way is this a serious movie. Still, it's hard to resist.
  10. Croupier
    An airless, mannered mess.
  11. Gossip
    Entertaining in a trashy sort of way.
  12. The Last September
    A botched job: the various relationships and personal histories of the characters are never made clear, the last act is glaringly disjointed, the writing and direction are all over the map.
  13. From the Edge of the City
    All the jazzy effects and jumpy editing merely move us quicker to an otherwise predetermined tragedy.
  14. U-571
    Definitely works as an action piece, it's often surprising and never boring, and several sequences had me positioned well on the edge of my seat.
  15. The Virgin Suicides
    While young Coppola is a pro with her camera, she'd be wise to brush up on her storytelling skills.

    Love & Basketball
    Uses sports as metaphor for life with rare twist.
  17. Keeping the Faith
    A pleasant, old-fashioned kind of a love triangle.
  18. Set Me Free
    Exquisite and fragile in visuals and tone, yet has some difficulty with a choppy narrative.
  19. American Psycho
    A fairly loathsome and shallow movie about loathsome and shallow people, but it's almost worth catching to see star Christian Bale chew up the scenery.
  20. 28 Days
    (Bullock's) performance, and the movie's serious side, soon get lost in an overly slick script.
  21. Where the Money Is
    It's a lifeless little caper piece that never develops the magic and intellectual fascination it needs to bond with an audience.
  22. East Is East
    Bounces between funny and chilling.
  23. Est - Ouest
    Has the sensibility of a Hollywood "woman's picture" of the '40s -- the weepie saga of a married woman trapped in an untenable situation.
  24. Southpaw
    A rousing and gently inspirational story of an underclass kid made good, but it's in those cultural glimpses that the film shines.
  25. Joe Gould's Secret
    A gentle and often beautiful study in opposites.
  26. Rules of Engagement
    By the time the film plummets to its rock bottom, we find ourselves in a flag-waving no-brainer of the first order, and one of the most thoroughly confused morality tales in recent memory.
  27. Return to Me
    A welcome return to the courtship, cuddling and sweet nothings of yesteryear.
  28. Ready to Rumble
    Stephen Brill's flat-footed script begins as an idiot comedy with the gross-out gags of a Farrelly brothers film.
  29. Me Myself I
    Likely to provide many points of identification for many women.
  30. Price of Glory
    When the film suddenly turns into "Rocky" -- as all boxing films of the past two decades invariably do -- it invalidates its theme.
