  1. Lan Yu
    It's a good film. But its exotic allure may lead some to mistake it for a great one.
  2. Stuart Little 2
    Vacillating between sappy and snappy, Stuart Little 2 is featherweight family fare, perfectly timed for viewers with short attention spans.
  3. K-19: The Widowmaker
    The movie becomes an American salute to military patriotism, anybody's military patriotism. Think of it as "A Few Good Reds."

    Tadpole
    Smart and sophisticated entertainment, whatever its shortcomings, and it deserves to be encouraged. Not the behaviour it portrays, of course; but the worldly common sense of knowing that most people have a secretly ambiguous view of sexual prohibitions, and that this is the fertile ground of great comedy.
  5. Ayurveda: Art of Being
    Although filmmaker Pan Nalin is a believer in Ayurveda,there is little in the film to convince anybody else.

    Eight Legged Freaks
    So if you're in the mood for a scary flick, the kind where people can't resist going into the huge hole in the wall where the family Pekinese just disappeared to the sounds of being masticated, this is the one.
  7. The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course
    The question is, is the interspecies wrestling match really worth the ineptly acted spy antics, the big flatulence jokes and Steve-o's endless grandstanding? Not without a handy remote control with a mute button, it isn't.
  8. Sex and Lucia
    Nothing in this explicit display is remotely engaging. That's because the sex is a metaphor here. In fact, most everything is a metaphor here. Or a symbol -- the picture is a veritable cacophony of jangling symbols.
  9. Reign of Fire
    Reign of Fire never comes close to recovering from its demented premise, but it does sustain an enjoyable level of ridiculousness.
  10. Road to Perdition
    This is a remarkably good-looking near-corpse of a film, with a pulse that fades in and out.
  11. Halloween: Resurrection
    It's all very pat and, ultimately, annoying.
  12. Never Again
    Rarely does a film so graceless and devoid of merit as this one come along.
  13. My Wife Is an Actress
    None of this quite gets off the ground, and I found myself wanting to bid farewell to Yvan and Charlotte quite a while before the final credits rolled. Not every wannabe Woody Allen is Woody Allen.
  14. Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
    Musically, it's a mixed bag -- The concert remains more of an historical curiosity than a must-see rock film.
  15. Read My Lips
    Offers you the ostensible bargain of two movies in one -- a character study at the outset and the crime caper that follows. The first picture is intriguing, the second stinks.
  16. Men in Black II
    Short, flashy and about as complex as a beer belch, Men in Black II is also brisk. The film clocks in at 88 minutes total running time, and it's loaded with new special effects and monsters.
  17. Like Mike
    It's not so much a movie as a joint promotion for the National Basketball Association and teenaged rap and adolescent poster-boy Lil' Bow Wow.
  18. Songs from the Second Floor
    The film is like an Ingmar Bergman movie as realized by Monty Python: It's seriously gloomy about the loss of spirituality in the world, but at the same time rudely, sometimes hilariously, absurd.
  19. The Powerpuff Girls
    One of the more ingenious and fresh surprises of the summer.

    Lovely & Amazing
    This is a fine, funny, humane film.
  21. Hey Arnold! The Movie
    The updated Dickensian sensibility of writer Craig Bartlett's story is appealing.
  22. Pumpkin
    Fitfully daring, Pumpkin isn't quite sure what it's about -- the tone bounces between thudding satire and toothless camp parody -- but it's definitely a bad-mannered child of our times.
  23. Juwanna Mann
    Here's a truly novel sports film: It actually has a script, decent acting, sympathetic characters. And it's fun.
  24. Sunshine State
    These are valid ideas, but they don't always arise organically out of the script, and can seem clumsily expressed.
  25. Minority Report
    More humdrum than horrible. It isn't futuristic film noir; it's just everyday film beige.
  26. Lilo & Stitch
    Tuned in to the anarchic wisecracks and slapstick humour of traditional Warner Bros. cartoons. In contrast to the computer-generated characters and slick script of a movie like "Shrek," Lilo and Stitch still feels like a cartoon aimed at kids, not their parents.
  27. Windtalkers
    Windtalkers is to movies what Paris is to weather -- if you don't like the show you're watching, just wait a minute and an entirely different picture will blow into view.
  28. The Emperor's New Clothes
    Has a refreshingly different twist: What we have here is a "what if" comedy.
  29. The Bourne Identity
    The problems with Damon's character are the problem with the movie: It's about plot mechanics, not heart and soul.
  30. Scooby-Doo
    Mostly, the plot is busy and incomprehensible and the action sequences directed with all the art of a detonation.
