  1. Timeline
    This dreary science-fiction/historical-action hybrid is a misfire of staggering proportions.
  2. Civil Brand
    There's way too much of the usual bonding, beatings, petty humiliation by guards, cat fights in the yard and trips to the hole.
  3. Driven
    This noisy, time-wasting spectacle is crammed with what purports to be characters, except that not one of them has any more depth than will fit into a one-line description.

    The 24th Day
    Not since Larry Clark's "Kids" (1995) has the threat of HIV infection been used so gratuitously, driving a narrative that ultimately has nothing to do with the AIDS crisis.
  5. Eye of the Beholder
    As meticulously deranged as its paranoid protagonist.

    Undiscovered
    The music is surprisingly good and there's a skateboarding bulldog that you've just gotta see to believe.

    Ethan Mao
    Lee obviously wants to portray Ethan as something other than the dutiful No. 1 son, but Ethan isn't entirely convincing as a doped-up street hustler.

    Up the Academy
    Up The Academy is another in the seemingly endless parade of inane teenage comedies.

    Bloodsport
    Bloodsport is strictly for martial arts buffs; little is offered here in the way of plot, dialog, or acting.

    Best Defense
    Try as they may, neither the cast nor the filmmakers can cover up the fact that this movie, like Moore's prototype, is a dud.

    Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace
    This time around, expect more of the same -- a tedious, muddleheaded tale about a malevolent spirit haunting cyberspace -- with somewhat tastier special effects.
  12. AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem
    The film's major draws are R-rated gore and some nice physical effects, proof that a man in a top-of-the-line monster suit can still be more effective than CGI.
  13. How High
    It's a good thing the two rappers are such utterly natural actors, armed with terrific comic timing.
  14. Swimfan
    Derivative, predictable and entirely forgettable, the sort of low-expectations genre picture that generally goes directly to video.
  15. Boys and Girls
    So shallow and brainless it's in perpetual danger of drying up and blowing away.
  16. AVP: Alien vs. Predator
    A reductive spook show in which a bunch of puny humans get chased around by scary monsters.
  17. L.A. Twister
    Ethan and Lenny's story is silly, good-natured and full of unlikely moves, just like the titular twister.
  18. The Girl Next Door
    Neither Ketchum nor the filmmakers take an exploitative approach to the material; their focus is the way the youngsters' petty cruelty erupts into murderous sadism.

    Somewhere in Time
    Jeannot Szwarc does well in the director's chair, and Jean-Pierre Dorleac deserves special commendation for his costumes. But Seymour is given too little to do, and Reeve does too much.

    Pathfinder
    It's undone by a murky palette, silly horror-movie cliches, dumb dialogue and a confusing climactic sequence.

    The Quiet
    An unconvincing and uninvolving psychological thriller.

    Invasion U.S.A.
    A numbingly stupid actioner, Invasion U.S.A. has one of the most laughable villains ever committed to film.
  23. Scary Movie 2
    A satisfying hatchet job on the spooky -- or as the Wayans see it, kooky -- world of supernatural pictures.

    Fool's Gold
    We already knew Hudson and McConaughey weren't exactly Gable and Lombard from their first romantic pairing in "How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days," but director Andy Tennant's complete lack of inventiveness comes as a surprise.
  25. Just My Luck
    It's enjoyable and profoundly unlikely to make a lasting impression on anyone.
  26. Snow Dogs
    Formulaic but not entirely predictable, it's like old-school Disney, but without Tim Conway.

    The King and I
    Garish, animated junk.
  28. The Postman
    Costner's ponderous post-apocalyptic morality tale feels every minute of its nearly three hours.
  29. God, Sex & Apple Pie
    Well-written and surprisingly well-acted by a relatively inexperienced cast

    Pulse
    To say Wes Craven's rewrite of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 2001 "Pulse" isn't as bad as it could have been sounds like faint praise, but Kurosawa's "Pulse" is one of the true masterpieces of recent Asian horror, and the track record for Hollywood horror redos isn't great.
