  1. Punisher: War Zone
    There is no stylistic thrill to this blunt object of a callous action film. It's content to bludgeon the audience into numb resignation.
  2. The Spirit
    The result is a great-looking movie with an awkward balance of pulp noir and campy self-awareness.
  3. Over Her Dead Body
    A stiff of a supernatural comedy.
  4. Gods and Generals
    Lacks the driving unity that gave "Gettysburg" its focus, dramatic arc, climax and catharsis.
  5. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    One more bloated effects-o-rama lumbering through a formula plot (super-villain out to rule the world) without much zest, imagination or awareness of its own absurdity.
  6. The Pacifier
    Ultimately this soppy Pacifier sucks.
  7. Queen of the Damned
    Is Queen of the Damned worthy of its hype or should it have a stake driven through its dark heart? The answer lies somewhere in between.
  8. Waiting...
    Don't watch this film unless you have a high tolerance and an undemanding appreciation for penis jokes and humor based more on a capacity to disgust than to surprise.
  9. White Noise
    A not-bad ghost story that marks a comeback of sorts for its star, Michael Keaton, who hasn't top-billed a movie for almost a decade.
  10. John Q
    Washington's fire and righteous anger can only do so much, and the token grit amounts to a few grains of sand in the sentimental machinery.
  11. Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
    An insufferably insipid comedy with a cruel subtext.
  12. Grind
    Director Casey La Scala directs with enough energy to carry the odyssey over the next ramp, but for all the eagerness of the performances, the conviction is strictly prepackaged.
  13. The Butterfly Effect
    Ashton Kutcher wants to be taken seriously so badly it hurts. So does this metaphysical mess of a movie, a pseudo time-travel drama so complicated it takes more than half an hour just to establish the gimmick. And a gimmick it is.
  14. The Replacements
    Deutch never raises the film beyond its paint-by-numbers blueprint.
  15. The Tuxedo
    This ill-fitting Tuxedo is strictly off-the-rack.
  16. Where the Heart Is
    In no way is this a serious movie. Still, it's hard to resist.
  17. Meet Bill
    For those whose idea of hilarity is an adult and a kid throwing fireworks at each other, then getting stoned and playing piggyback in the mall, this movie should be a refreshing tonic.

    She Hate Me
    What is this movie about? Is it a morality tale? Is it about the complexity of romantic love? Parenthood? Accepting the often-blurred lines of our sexual orientation? Is it about the role of race in white-collar crime? What?
  19. Thirteen Ghosts
    First-time director Steve Beck hurls a dozen ghosts and probably a million dollars' worth of prosthetic makeup at us for a full 90 minutes, but it's old hat and not a bit scary.
  20. The Amati Girls
    Plays like a series of well-done but disconnected acting-class sketches, filled with a huge cast of first-rate actors whose careers have all gone into decline.
  21. Without a Paddle
    Yet another raunchy, gross-out farce, this one about smart-alecky city boys who have wacky adventures while exposing themselves in -- I mean to -- the great outdoors.
  22. Premonition
    This is a much dumber movie than "The Lake House." In fact, the script is an ungainly mess and ultimately a shaggy-dog story.

    The Hot Chick
    A comedy that surpasses stupidity, and not in entertaining ways.
  24. Domestic Disturbance
    The movie has a suspenseful moment or two, and it's never hard to watch, but it's ultimately one more totally forgettable Hollywood thriller.
  25. Johnson Family Vacation
    Tired and glib, it tries to milk humor from the sniping, sass and simple disrespect of its unpleasant traveling companions.
  26. Lake City
    Garity, son of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, gives the kind of performance rarely seen in today's movies.
  27. New in Town
    It resorts to a story line so predictable that its willingness to go so earnestly into unoriginal territory is doubly disappointing since its first half had so much more going for it.
  28. Timeline
    A resounding dud.
  29. 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.
  30. Eye of the Beholder
    A perfect example of form without content.
