  1. Dinosaur
    An old-fashioned dinosaur opera, in the worst sense of the term. An obviously formulaic effort, designed more as a cash machine than a piece of cinema.
  2. Cirque du Soleil: Journey of Man
    A hokey, more-than-a-little-annoying mystical journey of self-discovery.

    Luminous Motion
    Gordon makes the mistake of preserving Bradfield's highly idiosyncratic dialogue -- dazzling on the page, deadly in any actor's mouths -- and the otherwise talented Lloyd is miscast.

    The Well
    A grim and deliciously twisted Gothic chiller from the dark side of sunny Down Under.

    Young Dr. Freud
    An entertaining, insightful and handsomely illustrated "Freud for Dummies."
  6. Small Time Crooks
    This thin, clichéd comedy of crime and social climbing contains some scattered laughs and whole lot of padding.

    Road Trip
    When it's not wasting time with character, this deliberately dumb collegiate comedy is good for a few laughs of the big butts and sex variety, but not much else.
  8. Held Up
    A hick-town, screwball comedy version of "Dog Day Afternoon," and surprisingly palatable despite its sitcom soul and star.
  9. Shadow Boxers
    By trying to be both a portrait of Rijker and an introduction to women's boxing, it shortchanges both subjects.

    Kadosh
    The acting is uniformly superb, as is the rich, somber cinematography.
  11. Center Stage
    The story is shallow stuff, but pretty entertaining until it becomes utterly preposterous.
  12. Screwed
    As bad as the title, and much longer.
  13. Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000
    The story's broad strokes are painfully clichéd and its details make no sense at all.

    Coming Soon
    Just because it was written and directed by a woman doesn't mean the title isn't exactly the vulgar double entendre you think.
  15. Hamlet
    Has an interesting look, several sensational performances (notably from Kyle MacLachlan and Liev Schreiber) and in general works far better than it has any right to.

    Human Traffic
    Brimming with fun and a few great ideas, it's little more than a foggy memory the minute it's over.

    Dream of Light
    An enthusiastic recommendation.

    Into My Heart
    The results are only so-so.
  19. La Nouvelle Ève
    Camille's desperate, destructive antics just don't seem especially cute or funny.
  20. Up at the Villa
    The surprise is how tame and passionless it all seems, particularly after director Philip Haas's fevered "Angels and Insects."
  21. I Dreamed of Africa
    Though beautifully acted by Basinger (everyone else is relegated to a supporting role), there's a strange vagueness to much of this sumptuous, stunningly photographed melodrama.
  22. Michael Jordan to the Max
    There's not much substantive food for thought.

    The Basket
    Despite the overplotting, there's scarcely any of the characterization that might have made some of it interesting.
  24. Gladiator
    Brawny, he-man spectacle combined with a surprisingly solid story and buttressed by excellent performances.

    Adorenarin doraibu
    Supremely silly on the surface but full of sophisticated sight gags and deadpan humor.
  26. Luminarias
    Breezy and eminently watchable.

    The Big Kahuna
    It's a chamber piece that probably should have stayed where it started, in regional theater.

    Committed
    But one can only imagine how different the film might have been with, say, Parker Posey or Catherine Keener -- truly funky actresses with some real edge -- in the lead.
  29. Frequency
    What do you get when you cross a serial-killer movie with a sappy father/son drama and give it a time-travel twist?
  30. Bossa Nova
    The city looks breathtakingly lovely, the movie's Brazilian characters are charming and filled with joie de vivre, and using excerpts would take care of the fact that the pacing's a bit sluggish for such fluffy material.
