  1. The Watcher
    It's lively but fails to disguise the fact that his (Charbanic) script is a dud and his career in videos has taught him little about the art of narrative storytelling.
  2. Turn It Up
    Glib, sense-numbing action fantasy.
  3. Whipped
    Perhaps there is a more excruciatingly painful and self-abusive way to spend 82 minutes. But I honestly can't think of what it would be.
  4. Titanic Town
    Michell captures the awkwardness of real-world behavior with gentle, unforced humor.
  5. Dark Days
    It's hard to imagine an upbeat movie about homelessness, but Dark Days is just that.
  6. Bring It On
    Predictable and surprisingly confusing in its ultimate message.
  7. Solomon & Gaenor
    Well-meaning portrait of intolerance concludes as grand tragic melodrama, executed with a stately beauty in somber colors.
  8. Orfeu
    While the film is technically polished and visually breathtaking, it lacks depth and becomes little more than a lawless fairy tale packed with pretty people.
  9. Love & Sex
    Breiman brings nothing new or insightful or even all that clever, for that matter, to the familiar questions of love and sex.
  10. The Crew
    A good-natured movie.
  11. Place Vendôme
    Garcia's dialogue is wonderfully crafted, short, sharp and resonant, and her elegant direction is delicate and handsome.
  12. The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack
    Elevated out of the music-documentary genre to become something of an intriguing mystery -- and one with no neat solution.
  13. Steal This Movie
    Unashamedly positive look at the rise of the '60s counterculture.
  14. The Cell
    Visually impressive but exceedingly unpleasant little nail-biter.
  15. Godzilla 2000
    Its one saving grace is Godzilla himself, the James Bond of giant monsters.
  16. Bless the Child
    The movie works -- at least marginally.
  17. Cecil B. DeMented
    It's Waters' way of saying: It's only a movie.
  18. The Replacements
    Deutch never raises the film beyond its paint-by-numbers blueprint.
  19. The Opportunists
    Ultimately emotionally flat and eminently forgettable.
  20. Autumn in New York
    Works best of all as a vehicle for Richard Gere, who has simply never looked better or held the screen more securely.
  21. Aimee & Jaguar
    First-time feature film director Max Farberbock has given a terrific visual style, resonance, sense of hope and power to the material.
  22. The Tao of Steve
    Like most films in this overworked genre, it's as formulaic in its own way as a John Wayne western, and the characters and situations all have a gnawing predictability about them.
  23. Saving Grace
    Never quite rises above its one-joke situation.
  24. Psycho Beach Party
    For all its energy and inspired moments of giddy goofiness, Psycho Beach Party gets stuck in the sand.
  25. Space Cowboys
    I guess there's something grizzled old codgers like Clint can teach those young hotshots after all.
  26. Coyote Ugly
    A rather likable and very sweet-spirited story.
  27. Hollow Man
    It is relatively suspenseless and often distastefully crude.
  28. Mad About Mambo
    Splashy and sweetly romantic, if hopelessly unimaginative.
  29. Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
    Murphy is remarkably convincing -- even endearing -- as each of the characters.
  30. Girl on the Bridge
    It's a gloriously baroque vision and Leconte believes in his sequin and sawdust fantasy with such unabashed enthusiasm that he makes it work even through its most absurd moments.
