  1. Heaven
    It's a mannered, precious exercise that seems to have less to do with lived moral dilemmas than with the smug piety of its makers.
  2. Welcome to Collinwood
    This ensemble comedy has its inventively funny moments. But ultimately, it gets a little too cute for its own good.
  3. Bloody Sunday
    As a terrifying example of what can happen when too many angry people are crowded into too small a space, it's a gripper.

    Red Dragon
    Red Dragon is merely the distant echoes of what we liked about "Lambs."
    • 39 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Just a Kiss
    Clumsily written and numbly performed comedy of yammers.
  6. The Tuxedo
    The result isn't merely ludicrous, it's something far worse. It's drab. It's uninteresting. It squanders Chan's uniqueness; it could even be said to squander Jennifer Love Hewitt!

  7. Skins
    Its strength is the documentary-textured depiction of Native Americans in their social environment. Its weakness is a story that's a patchy combination of soap opera, low-tech magic realism and, at times, ploddingly sociological commentary.
  8. Shanghai Ghetto
    Despite the film's shortcomings, the stories are quietly moving.
  9. Biggie and Tupac
    Tends to speculation, conspiracy theories or, at best, circumstantial evidence.
  10. The Man from Elysian Fields
    From the get-go, the story remains bogged down in its rather limited morass.
  11. Sweet Home Alabama
    At the movie's thoroughly expected conclusion, a visual joke has a bedraggled cat licking at the icing on a wedding cake, but it's really Melanie who gets to have it and eat it, too.

    Moonlight Mile
    It's a combination of good story, nice moments and appealing texture.
  13. The Trials of Henry Kissinger
    Damning legal brief against the former secretary of state.
  14. Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever
    This movie pulls out so many bad-action-movie cliches, you wonder if this is a how-not-to primer.
  15. The Four Feathers
    The movie's deeper problem and its primary disappointment: its unwillingness to deal directly with the issue of colonialism.
  16. The Banger Sisters
    From opening to closing credits, there isn't a single genuine moment -- as phony as a dime bag of oregano.
  17. Snipes
    Both a snore and utter tripe.
  18. The Ignorant Fairies
    A movie that grows better by the minute.
  19. 8 Women
    A gorgeous, if disjointed, spectacle, made endurable – if not entirely comprehensible – by its eye-popping cast.
  20. Secretary
    In a movie as unrewarding as this, there's really only one burning question: When does the spanking begin?
