  1. Old School
    A dumb guy comedy about dumb guys by dumb guys and for dumb guys.
  2. The Life of David Gale
    Another tediously sanctimonious message movie from Alan Parker.
  3. Amandla! A Revolution in Four Part Harmony
    Viewers will leave Amandla! moved by the music, impressed by the musicians and dubious about the possibility of political and social healing.
  4. The Ballad of Bering Strait
    The documentary never gets more than skin deep. It rarely delves into the troubling regions that are the very orchards of documentary.
  5. Painted Fire
    It is quietly observant, with a detached eye for the telling moment, and the visual compositions are often exquisite.
  6. The Jungle Book 2
    The franchise is cheapened by Disney's crass commercialism in releasing material that, by rights, should have gone straight to video.
  7. Gerry
    The most screamingly obvious reaction to Gerry is: what a load of pseudo-arty you-know-what.
  8. He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not
    Wickedly clever.
  9. All the Real Girls
    It's a movie of deft impressions and telling human moments. Whether or not those impressions and moments add up to anything is almost beside the point.
  10. Daredevil
    For the most part, Daredevil doesn't take a single dare; it travels the road much trod, even if it's through the midtown air.

    Stone Reader
    Like the novel, the film is occasionally overwrought and overwritten.
  12. Deliver Us from Eva
    One-dimensional archetypes, too much predictability and not enough comedy.
  13. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
    Both lead players are appealing and attractive enough to make an otherwise tepid movie at least un-excruciating.
  14. Shanghai Knights
    It's too bad Chan's imagination and delicacy were wasted in this movie.
  15. May
    In visual terms, it's clear McKee has a talent for moviemaking...But he's going to need better stories than this.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Biker Boyz
    Has the stink of man-musk all over it.
  17. Lost in La Mancha
    Like rubbernecking motorists, we can't help but watch with lurid fascination.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Guru
    A spirited rally in the final reel can't quite overcome the damage.
  19. Final Destination 2
    Can't wait for the next sequel . . .
  20. The Recruit
    It's nothing but style and noise, threadbare of content, empty of ideas. Is it anything? Not really.
  21. Chaos
    One heck of a tale of deliciously unladylike payback.
  22. Darkness Falls
    A truly awful and extremely loud scareflick.
  23. Blind Spot. Hitler's Secretary
    Makes for fascinating cinema.
  24. Amen.
    It's not every day that movies present a Teutonic character in SS uniform as an unambiguously moral hero, so enjoy this rarity. And the film.
  25. Divine Intervention
    Antic, puzzling and disturbing film.
  26. A Guy Thing
    Tries desperately to lower the bar for scatological gags, rank sexual humor and cheap physical shots.
  27. National Security
    To call Lawrence a poor man's Richard Pryor libels not just Pryor but also the 33 million Americans currently living under the poverty line.
  28. Kangaroo Jack
    There are two distinctive features to the movie: the mind-numbingly banal plot as one chases another who chases another, and all the offensive material.
  29. City of God
    One of the most startling, grittily brilliant films in recent years.
  30. Crimson Gold
    Unfolds with a marvelously understated humanism.
