    Pale Rider
    Eastwood has a deep love and understanding for the genre, and it shows in every frame of PALE RIDER. The supernatural elements of the story are incidental and handled in a restrained, subtle manner that does not distract from the story but enhances it, bringing another dimension to the oft-told tale. Eastwood the director has delivered a thought-provoking, well-crafted western.

    The Incredible Hulk
    The dialogue is minimal but sharp, the pace swift and the action sequences suitably loud and brutal.

    Tell Me Something
    For all the blood spilt -- and there are gallons of it -- this is a surprisingly understated thriller.
  4. Hair High
    Animator Bill Plympton's seventh feature is a must-see for fans of his often witty, always scabrous, hand-drawn work.
  5. Cocaine Angel
    Cocaine Angel may be a fine counterpoint to glammy cocaine-scare films like "Less Than Zero" (1987) and "Blow" (2001), but it comes on so strong it risks being dismissed along with the "this is your brain on drugs" school of dope-scare PSAs.

    Mighty Joe Young
    Though produced by the same people responsible for the classic King Kong, Mighty Joe Young is a pale imitation.

    Two Evil Eyes
    While far from the worst adaptation of Poe's work (there are so many candidates for that dubious honor it's hard to know where to start), Two Evil Eyes breaks no new ground.

    Godzilla, King of the Monsters!
    While much of Godzilla, King of the Monsters is second-rate, there's no doubt that you're watching a star being born.

    Goodbye, Mr. Chips
    Overall, rookie director Ross stumbles over the material, neither destroying nor enhancing the talents of O'Toole, Clark, and company.

    Fighting
    It's not as if Fighting is terrible. The acting is well done, as is the unique look at the underbelly of the Big Apple.

    3 Men and a Baby
    The leads acquit themselves fairly well, but the biggest winner is Selleck, whose low-key charm and gift for light comedy are put to good use here.

    Unlawful Entry
    The acting is consistently good, with Liotta, in particular, creating a masterful portrait of implacable, blue-eyed terror--a man equally at ease explaining his vocation to a class of schoolkids ("I'm here to be your friend") as staging a cold-blooded murder. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

    Bells Are Ringing
    Vincente Minnelli's film might have benefited from less emphasis on dialogue and more on the musical numbers ("Just in Time" and "The Party's Over" among them), but Holliday is adorable and efforlessly "real" in one of the best roles of her sadly abbreviated career.
  14. Est - Ouest
    It's Deneuve, in little more than a cameo, who commands your attention and doesn't release you until she's good and ready.

    Waga jinsei saiaku no toki
    A wildly entertaining detective thriller that succeeds entirely on its own terms.
  16. My Dog Skip
    Feels hokey, generic and dated.

    Enduring Love
    A cerebral thriller that dares to ask a fundamental question: What, exactly, is love?
  18. Arakimentari
    Viewers are left to draw their own conclusions, which inevitably will be colored by individual reactions to unabashed frontal nudity.

    King Kong
    Without a doubt, De Laurentiis' remake of Cooper and Schoedsack's classic is the biggest con job ever pulled on the unsuspecting American public.

    The New Age
    Michael Tolkin's THE NEW AGE is something new, a comedy of horrors that's brittle, hypnotically hip, and so cool it almost freezes the audience out.

    Lust, Caution
    Lee has perfectly captured the details, textures, sights and sounds of a China caught between East and West, occupied by an ancient enemy and quaking on the eve of an earth-shaking revolution.

    Dr. Bronner's Magic Soapbox
    Luckily the story behind the suds is a pretty good one.
  24. Transformers
    8-year-olds of all ages, prepare to storm the multiplex!

    Little Women
    This version is a well-handled retelling of the classic Louisa May Alcott tale.
  26. Lower City
    The story wears thin long before it's over, but Machado draws strong performances from his leads and makes excellent use of its rundown locations.
  27. The Best Man
    A throwback to the slickly entertaining melodramas of Hollywood's golden age.

    The Comfort of Strangers
    Overall, The Comfort of Strangers seems tremendously overwrought for no good reason.
  29. Notes on Marie Menken
    While Kudlacek lets some of the elder statesmen ramble, their recollections are a vivid, firsthand window into a bygone era of American art.

    Swiss Family Robinson
    It's a tongue-in-cheek movie that avoids the sappy sentiment of so many "family" films and concentrates on sheer entertainment instead.
