    Jaws 3-D
    Although shot well and boasting some effective 3-D work, this is a woefully inadequate effort, and the series began to slip into inadvertent self-parody.
  2. Mystery, Alaska
    There are people who eat this kind of thing right up -- if you're one of them, dig in.

    Space Jam
    The technical razzle-dazzle that lets Jordan dribble on the cartoon court and inserts Bugs and Daffy into the "real" world is, sad to say, less than dazzling: This is no WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT. Can we go now, please?

    Heartburn
    The film is based on the Ephron novel detailing her marital break-up with journalist Carl Bernstein; but although the book had a distinctive bite, the film is a colorless adaptation.
  5. Black and White
    Strident and bombastic.
  6. Billabong Odyssey
    The slim story gets swamped by the stunning visuals.
  7. With Friends Like These...
    Gives off an air of clammy desperation that feels all too authentic without being especially funny and bogs down early in repetitive shtick. (review of re-release)

    Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie
    Infantile, pointless tedium aimed at kids, to whom the fact that it features the entire cast of TV's Power Rangers ZEO will presumably mean something.
  9. Pokémon 3: The Movie
    Allowing for the fact that any Pokemon movie is essentially a feature-length commercial designed to make little kids want Pokémon stuff, this one has its moments.

    History of the World: Part I
    Despite cameos by many superior comic actors and well-known celebrities, this episodic would-be laughfest comes up wanting as many of Brooks' elaborate gags fall flat.

    Equilibrium
    Flashy, "MATRIX"-style action sequences trump ideas; it's hard not to feel you've just watched a feature-length video game with some really heavy back story.

    The Aryan Couple
    Set mostly over the course of a single evening, the film is lugubriously paced and filled with improbable turns of events.
    • 43 Metascore

    Medicine Man
    Medicine Man tries hard to be a film for all tastes, but it ends up appealing to none.
  14. Senseless
    There's a surprising sweetness under its crude exterior.

    Oh Heavenly Dog
    This movie misfires in its attempt to combine a children's dog story and adult comedy by pairing Benji and Chevy Chase. Silly and slow-moving.
  16. Resident Evil
    Handsome and sometimes creepy, but formulaic in the extreme.
  17. After the Sunset
    A caper comedy without chemistry is just a bunch of waiting around for something to get stolen.
  18. The Skeleton Key
    Hokey, slow-moving thriller.
  19. The Ninth Gate
    This tale may well weave a more compelling spell on the page; onscreen it's simply ponderous.
  20. The Amati Girls
    Smacks of a certain kind of TV movie filled with pious uplift, even as it makes token concessions to contemporary lifestyles.
  21. Mumford
    Watching this string of sketches about small town wackos is like channel surfing a heavy sitcom zone.
    • 36 Metascore

    Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man
    Don Johnson and Mickey Rourke preen and posture on motorcycles and off in Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, a futuristic action adventure that feels desperately like a vanity project.

    PCU
    A spoof of "political correctness" on campus, PCU is a sanitized rip-off of NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE that's neither smart enough to qualify as satire nor offensive enough to entertain.
  24. Anatomy
    The film's tone is hard to pin down, especially with the actors dubbed flatly into English.

    Seed of Chucky
    In the end it's simply another Chucky movie -- whether that's a recommendation or a warning is entirely up to you.
  26. An Unfinished Life
    Lasse Hallstrom's leisurely drama about remorse, forgiveness and spiritual healing is a film of big emotions and ferociously small gestures.
    • 26 Metascore

    Gloria
    A pale imitation of the John Cassavettes original.
  28. 15 Minutes
    Herzfeld's sophomore movie is one long howl of rage over the relationship between criminals, journalists and thrill-hungry audiences.
  29. Never Die Alone
    DMX delivers a surprisingly solid and convincing performance, but he's easily overshadowed by the very talented Ealy, who makes his secondary character truly memorable.
  30. The Village
    The film's gotcha! payoff doesn't justify the gloomy journey.
