    I'm Gonna Git You Sucka
    An extremely funny movie that presents a torrent of insightful gags at breakneck pace, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka features many of the stars of the old "blaxploitation" movies, adding weight and authenticity to Wayan's film. In offering up this affectionate parody of the old movies, Wayans also turns a satiric eye on black culture in general--but in an inoffensive, lighthearted manner.

    Civic Duty
    Director Jeff Renfroe and screenwriter Andrew Joiner's flashy psychological thriller wants to say something important about the dangers of a fear-mongering media and resultant ethnic profiling in an age of terrorism, but their warnings are undone by a tricky plot that tries to have it both ways while leaving the audience arguing among themselves as to what it all means.
  3. Vertical Limit
    Relentless parade of tragedy.
  4. The Santa Clause 2
    You have to have a certain affection for any movie in which a stressed-out Mother Nature announces ominously, "Don't mess with me -- I'm pre-El Niño."
  5. Elvira's Haunted Hills
    Elvira fans could hardly ask for more.
  6. Maze
    The love story is pretty conventional stuff, but Linney's finely calibrated, low-key performance as Callie goes a long way towards making it more interesting than it might otherwise be.

    The Core
    The similarities between this film and Michael Bay's overblown "Armageddon"are too numerous to ignore; the crucial difference is that this one is actually pretty good.
  8. Orange County
    This ORANGE is a lemon.
  9. Super Troopers
    Fans of cheesy '70s TV shows will also be pleased by Wonder Woman Lynda Carter's brief cameo appearance as the governor of Vermont.

    Hit and Runway
    Crams more subplots, minor characters and comic situations into 100 minutes than most sitcoms burn through in an entire season. And that's not necessarily a good thing.

    Burnt Offerings
    Overlong, talky, predictable, and dull, dull, dull.

    Midway
    Despite a crowded cast of famous actors, this WW II adventure falls flat because of its claustrophobic sets, cliche dialog, and hackneyed story.

    From Dusk Till Dawn
    Rodriguez's film is a high-octane fun-house ride with only one speed: sick-making.

    There's Always Vanilla
    By Romero's own admission the film was a disaster and shouldn't have been made at all. It is quite obvious the director's heart just wasn't in it.

    Memoirs of an Invisible Man
    Unfortunately, it is the spirit of adventure that is distinctly lacking in MEMOIRS OF AN INVISIBLE MAN, a dismayingly flat and predictable, special-effects-laden action thriller.

    Sleeping with the Enemy
    Sleeping With The Enemy teeters constantly on the verge of silliness but director Joseph Ruben keeps the cornball melodrama scaled down to a pleasant lull.

    Daisy Miller
    Daisy Miller as a book is a good read, but the film by Bogdanovich is truly a dud in spite of handsome sets and an intelligent writing job.

    Just Cause
    A good premise spins out of control in the hectic final hour.

    Operation Dumbo Drop
    An exceptionally sturdy cast -- especially Danny Glover as a stern but sensitive captain and Denis Leary as a wisecracking supply sergeant -- manages to keep the one-joke scenario airborne most of the time.
  20. High Crimes
    Undermined by contrived suspense sequences, a pointless subplot involving Claire's flaky, trashy sister, and a formulaic thriller ending.

    The Fantasticks
    While the cast and songs are top notch, the predictability of the madness makes it pretty clear that this musical shouldn't have left the stage
  22. Shallow Hal
    Something of a cop-out, lacking the courage of its convictions.
  23. Dummy
    It's repetitive and obvious but somehow endearing, like a truly ugly dog with sweet eyes.
  24. Incantato
    The main problem is Marcore, who is almost too gawky to be believed.

    Orgazmo
    It's all pretty tasteless, but surprisingly chaste and not very funny.

    Angels & Demons
    Whatever Howard's reasons for keeping things so stale, it was a bad choice, but lucky for viewers, some stories are just too crazy for even the dullest storytelling to completely ruin the fun.

    Casino Royale
    A mess. Casino Royale is two hours and eleven minutes of non sequitur.
    • 48 Metascore

    Fortress
    A technically accomplished but dramatically uneven futuristic action film.
  29. The Longest Yard
    Sandler's performance is aimed squarely at the fans who love his smarty-pants man-boy shtick and Rock gets off some funny lines, but overall this is one dreary, formulaic slog through sports-movie cliches.
    • 48 Metascore

    Alien Trespass
    Alien Trespass needs to be buried for another 50 years and then unearthed to be studied for how tributes can go oh so wrong.
