  1. Jackpot
    Nobody hits the jackpot here, certainly not filmmakers Michael and Mark Polish, whose audacious, empathic first film, "Twin Falls Idaho," showed such promise.
  2. Secondhand Lions
    It's less a children's movie made for contemporary children than a children's movie made for people who still remember, and pine for, how children's movies were made 50 years ago.
  3. Around the World in 80 Days
    The gags are physical but rarely funny.

    Connie and Carla
    The humor is rigorously unoriginal and it all feels a bit like minstrelsy, a freakish, ritualistic nod to things your grandfather might have found funny.
  5. The Fighting Temptations
    A soundtrack buried inside a sitcom.
  6. Jersey Girl
    The film oozes sentimentality, soap-opera bathos and clumsy cribbings from the Frank Capra book of small-town values. Those are its good points.
  7. The Last Samurai
    There's some cool sword-fighting. But still, it's junk.
  8. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
    Not enough to keep this celluloid ship from sinking under the weight of its own stupidity.
  9. Resident Evil
    In the end, it all looks and plays like a $40 million version of a game you're more likely to enjoy on a computer.
  10. Scary Movie
    The only thing that's truly scary about the movie is the escalating vulgarity of the latest in a string of skanky comedies by filmmakers determined to out-gross the other.
  11. Taxi
    Goes nowhere fast.
  12. True Romance
    Despite its noir references and evocations, this slick film, directed by Tony Scott from Quentin Tarantino's script, is a preposterously bloody mess, as is the plot.
  13. Unfaithful
    In the end, Unfaithful leaves you dispirited and grumpy: All that money spent, all that talent wasted, all that time gone forever, and for what? It's an ill movie that bloweth no man to good.
  14. Van Helsing
    A special-effects extravaganza that uses the barest of excuses to bring these characters together.
  15. After the Sunset
    A purported heist flick that sucks all the style out of stealing.
  16. Birth
    For all its art-house posturing, for all its exploration of the taboo topic, Birth is anything but good.
  17. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
    There's the scene in which Jacques, the French Canadian proprietor of the Power and Glory, tells Laura, "I am the Great Went," to which she responds, "I am the muffin." Jacques returns, "I'm as blank as a fart." Maybe all Jacques is saying is "I am full of gas." Certainly Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me seems to be.
  18. Saw
    But humans who live above ground, including horror fans, will find themselves only fitfully entertained and more consistently appalled.
  19. EuroTrip
    If you're going to make a gross-out comedy you can't just be gross. You've got to be to be funny as well, or the movie will be DOA. Which is why Eurotrip should be toe-tagged and shoved into the deepest and coldest of video vaults.
  20. Noi the Albino
    Kari may eventually go far, but for now he's one of the less interesting inhabitants of international art cinema's disaffected-youth ghetto.
  21. Party Monster
    The psychologizing in Party Monster never goes deeper than what you might get out of Dr. Phil on a bad day.
  22. Shark Tale
    This movie just doesn't match its predecessors.
