  1. The Road to El Dorado
    Its animation is simply glorious, but its story and characters are trite.
  2. The Skulls
    Cohen drives the film at a galloping pace, but it's not fast enough to outrun its absurdity.
  3. High Fidelity
    It's aimed squarely at a young dating audience, and is not likely to be hugely captivating for anyone out of that demographic.
  4. Waking the Dead
    A film with a real depth, resonance and texture, and room for an ensemble of supporting characters.
  5. The Color of Paradise
    It's so beautiful and moving and simple that I'm willing to forgive Majidi his contrivances.
  6. Such a Long Journey
    Gunnarsson masterfully weaves these strands into a bold, multilayered tapestry surrounding a powerful story.

    X
    A beautifully drawn film and engaging story marred only by its vague character development and mediocre voice-overs.
  8. Romeo Must Die
    In fact, when not kicking butt, (Li)'s kind of a blank spot in the center of the screen.
  9. Erin Brockovich
    She's foul-mouthed, trashy, a legal pit bull ... and she's wonderful.
  10. Final Destination
    So grim and humorless that the first half almost sinks into silliness.
  11. Mission to Mars
    Here and there an inspired shot makes the film come alive, and at least three of its sequences had me positioned well on the edge of my seat.
  12. The Ninth Gate
    Exotic Ninth Gate breaks down into clichés.
  13. What Planet Are You From?
    Falls disastrously flat.
  14. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
    [Jarmusch] seems...to introduce gratuitous bloodshed that is out of sync with the engaging, offbeat tempo and dark, comedic moral fable that has come before.
  15. Drowning Mona
    Scores high on nastiness, but it has as many surprisingly funny moments as offensive ones.
  16. The Next Best Thing
    Has good intentions and the element of surprise -- it's never quite clear where it's going at any given point.
  17. Theeviravaathi: The Terrorist
    Its overall effect is haunting, hypnotic and moving in a profound and unexpected way.
  18. Mifune's Last Song
    An edgy comedy with heart.
  19. Wonder Boys
    A terrific movie about middle-age malaise and a comedy of unusual wit and drollness.
  20. Reindeer Games
    He's (Affleck) vaguely likable, but he's outshone by his co-stars and never particularly believable in his role.
  21. Pitch Black
    A total guilty pleasure.
  22. Beautiful People
    Dizdar humorously compares and contrasts extremes in economics and lifestyles and looks at the west through the eyes of an outsider.
  23. Hanging Up
    If you find her (Ryan) distinctive persona to be too irritatingly cute to bear, this mannered movie is likely to play like fingernails on a blackboard .
  24. The Whole Nine Yards
    A pedestrian movie with a predictable romance at its heart.
  25. Not One Less
    An empowering film for children, showing them at their most capable, working through problems and finding innovative solutions to overcome what seems like an insurmountable obstacle.
  26. Boiler Room
    Ends up being empty, anti-climactic and overlong.
  27. The Tigger Movie
    Both sophisticated and elemental enough for all ages to grasp the message.
  28. Cotton Mary
    Most of its characters come off as being one-dimensional and stereotypical, and the film's sensibility leaves a very bad taste in the mouth.
  29. Snow Day
    It's an original and rather clever premise, but first-time director Chris Koch doesn't do anything with it.
  30. The Beach
    It doesn't really come off, but it's an admirably ambitious, and mostly very engaging, coming-of-age adventure that apes the spirit of Joseph Conrad.
