  1. The Matrix Revolutions
    The Wachowski brothers have rendered their chronicles into banality, as if trying to imitate the qualitative tailspin of the "Star Wars" series.
  2. The Hebrew Hammer
    Desperation is the project's principal quality, characterizing everything from the misfiring jokes to the surprisingly distinguished cast.
  3. Strayed
    A picture-book French film that's pretty and trite, rather than edgy and moving.
  4. Jeepers Creepers II
    Functional but tiresome.
  5. Masked and Anonymous
    Simply painful to watch as the doomed vehicle it's trapped in comes whistling toward a fiery crash landing.
  6. White Chicks
    Laugh? I thought I'd never start.
  7. Sleepover
    It wants us to believe that being popular and getting the cutest guy in school really is the key to happiness. Like, how totally last century is that?
  8. Zhou Yu de huo che
    Less a tale of mysterious, tragic love than a three-way Harlequin romance.
  9. Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius
    Even the staunchest of golfheads must know they're watching a cut-and-trite accounting.
  10. The Kid
    So rich in processed sugar, canned sentiment and schmaltz, I thought I was going to throw up.
  11. Dig!
    Ultimately undermined by the fact that the two rock bands Timoner chose to focus on -- the Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Dandy Warhols -- simply don't matter as much as she thinks they do.
  12. Under the Tuscan Sun
    It's like a music video of Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman" filmed in the Chevy Chase Pottery Barn.
  13. Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst
    Stone's film is a case study in cultural analysis that aims at too much and achieves too little.
  14. Bubba Ho-tep
    The film stars Bruce Campbell of the "Evil Dead" series as Elvis in a touching, funny and at times grotesque performance that is actually the best thing about the movie.

    Glitter
    We don't have much space to tell you about Glitter, so we'll be blunt. This star vehicle for singer Mariah Carey is primarily a showcase for her breasts.
  16. Gone in Sixty Seconds
    There were moments when I thought Gone in 60 Seconds might be a passably entertaining movie. I figure those moments, strung end-to-end, would total 30 or 40 seconds.
  17. Gothika
    An unsurprising, undistinguished piece of post-summer, pre-holiday detritus.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A Man Apart
    It really should be arrested for impersonating an interesting movie.
  19. Enduring Love
    Although this script starts off with great zest, it's ultimately a disappointment.
  20. Any Given Sunday
    It's about as deep as electronic white noise.
  21. America's Sweethearts
    The sparks don't fly -- they fall down and they can't get up.
  22. In Praise of Love
    Maybe the easiest thing would be to skip the movie altogether. Godard has created such a hermetic, uncompromising world that only the hardiest cinematic spelunkers are likely to appreciate its depths.
  23. Basic
    They made a movie without one basic ingredient: the story.
  24. Honey
    It evokes a warmed-over Fox TV special.
  25. Raising Helen
    You are likely to encounter more surprises on the way to the bathroom each morning than you do in this film.
  26. The Salton Sea
    Far too slick and manufactured to claim street credibility.
  27. After Midnight
    So taken with its own love of cinema, it forgets to lead you down the necessary dramaturgical path to make you fall in love, too.
  28. Time of the Wolf
    I would rather have a more interesting group of desperate people to spend my post-apocalyptic time with.
  29. Happy Times
    The film's maudlin focus on the young woman's infirmity and her naive dreams play like the worst kind of Hollywood heart-string plucking.
  30. September 11
    A crashing letdown.
