    Indian Summer
    Throughout, Binder doesn't seem wholly committed either to character exploration or broad comedy; the film veers back and forth between the two. Despite its weaknesses, however, SUMMER is another promising film for Binder, who manages a fair enough share of privileged moments to make it worthwhile, if not outstanding. He's put together a terrific cast and has directed them well, down to Raimi, who puts his longtime devotion to The Three Stooges to good work by stealing some of the film's best laughs.

    Death Hunt
    A few moments of good, visual storytelling aren't enough to save this frustrating film.

    The Proposal
    Bullock playing against type is the only original thing going on in the whole film.
  4. Around the Bend
    An awkward amalgam of road movie, buddy comedy and melodramatic conventions, first-time writer-director Jordan Roberts' male weepie ricochets between affecting scenes and insufferably maudlin ones.
  5. Kate & Leopold
    Once it settles down, it becomes a star-making vehicle for Jackman, and a supremely polished example of the sort of swoony love story cherished by women who secretly hope that some day their prince will come.
  6. The General's Daughter
    The whole lurid business is undeniably entertaining, but it leaves a bad taste.

    The Lady Vanishes
    This remake of the classic Hitchcock mystery is a far cry from its predecessor, lacking the style and subtle humor of the master.
  8. The Bank
    Though the script's twists and turns are fairly conventional and the Davis subplot is handled in an awkwardly obvious way, first-time feature filmmaker Robert Connolly understands the power of style.
  9. Agent Cody Banks
    The young stars have considerable natural chemistry and do their best to make the rehashed material approachable and entertaining while maintaining their kid-friendly images.
  10. In Good Company
    If the movie overall had the bitter brio of Malcolm McDowell's brief turn as Globecom guru Teddy K, a Franken-mogul stitched together from bits of Richard Branson, Barry Diller and Rupert Murdoch, it would be a pointed black comedy.

    Aspen Extreme
    The film continually leans towards intelligence and even poignancy but then gives way to pretty pictures and nonsensical fluff.
    • 49 Metascore

    Terminator Salvation
    With the exception of one breathtaking sequence in a helicopter, the action in Terminator Salvation is astonishingly dull.
    • 53 Metascore

    Champagne
    Though a minor work, this worldly comedy is handsomely staged, and Hitchcock's dry wit is already in evidence.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Poltergeist II: The Other Side
    Although an improvement thematically over the first film (the childlike awe of the original has been replaced by a very adult fear of impotence), Poltergeist II is terribly disjointed and dramatically unfulfilling.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Lost in America
    Just when it seemed Albert Brooks had gotten his creative energies under control, along comes this intermittently funny, often overdone comedy that could have been a classic.
  16. Swimming Upstream
    Fingleton turned his own story into a feel-good fable; neither Martin McGrath's gorgeous cinematography nor the hypnotic score by Run Lola Run(1998) composers Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil's can compensate.
  17. What Planet Are You From?
    Unfortunately the whole thing is less than the sum of its parts, despite a frequently droll script and a great performance from Shandling.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Until the End of the World
    Once the film gets bogged down in the outback, however, it comes to a virtual stop. Wenders seems to be saying something pretty banal about the emotional emptiness of the recorded image as opposed to the "real thing." If that's the point, why make a film at all?
  19. Reykjavík
    Characters find themselves in absurdly complicated situations, but respond with sardonic cool rather than hot-blooded hysteria.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Lord of the Rings
    Animator Ralph Bakshi's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord Of The Rings"trilogy is an entertaining film, but in attempting to remain faithful to the source material, Bakshi tries to cover too much ground.
  21. Kalifornia
    Unrelenting and predictable, this pretentious collaboration between a music video director and the writer of "Revenge of the Nerds" covers all of the bases now required in a road movie thriller, to precious little dramatic effect.

    Saw IV
    The trouble is that if you haven't seen the other entries in the cycle, or don't have all the characters committed to memory, you'll have trouble figuring out who anybody is or, in the end, what any of it is supposed to mean.

    No Man of Her Own
    A deft blend of comedy, action, and romance.
    • 63 Metascore

    Hard Target
    Though working on a Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle can be seen as a comedown for Woo, he rises to the occasion to create an often rousing entertainment that is almost inarguably Van Damme's best film to date.
  25. 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.
    • 59 Metascore

    Mystic Pizza
    A feel-good movie with a gentle melancholic undercurrent.

    All the Queen's Men
    Good-natured fun; it doesn't always work, but it's not for want of trying.

    Cet amour-là
    Pretentious but gorgeously photographed.
  29. Joe Dirt
    This sentimental comedy is generally sweet natured.
  30. Unfaithful
    If ever a movie cried out to be French, it's this one, and not just because it's a remake of Claude Chabrol's notoriously icy La Femme Infidele (1968).
