  1. The Musketeer
    Rollicks and rolls, thanks mainly to Roth's over-the-top depravity and Xiong's swingin', "Crouching Tiger"-style choreography.
  2. L.I.E.
    In a role that challenges our very notion of morality, Cox comes across as both predatory and fatherly, sometimes at once, in an acting turn as astonishing as it is stomach-turning.

  3. Our Lady of the Assassins
    The grimness of the movie becomes not only too unbearable, its point is clear about halfway through. After that, everything comes across as redundant retreading of the same perspective. But for atmosphere, great cinematography and eye-opening directness, this movie can't be beat.
  4. Rock Star
    The most unlikely of undertakings: an energetic feel-good movie about sex, drugs and other rock-related depravities.
  5. Vengo
    Feels like a song you may have heard before, but one whose aching beauty makes it endlessly listenable.
  6. O
    Everything has been modernized except for the characters, and that's this movie's tragic flaw.
  7. Jeepers Creepers
    After introducing a provocative opening, the movie settles in for some pretty cheap scare effects, as well as by-the-numbers computer graphic imagery for the actual marauder.
  8. Tortilla Soup
    Overwhelmingly predictable despite its cute surprise ending, Tortilla Soup is a filling but unoriginal dish.
  9. Summer Catch
    A trite, bantamweight "Bull Durham," hasn't a single line, gibe, gesture or twist that hasn't already been chewed up and spat out in many a movie baseball dugout.
  10. Together
    Moodysson's cornball sentimentality about the many shapes of the human family is tempered by his honesty about personal frailty and the silliness of utopian living experiments.
  11. Ghosts of Mars
    Schlocky, sluggish shoot-'em-up.
  12. The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
    Despite an appealing, even ingenious premise, "Scorpion" is another quippy but uninspired comedy.

    Happy Accidents
    The actors make a good team in this film, and they're playing well-defined characters, but the script is so repetitive that we get mighty impatient for the mystery to be resolved.
  14. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
    A raunchy parody that's hip-deep in the mainstream it aims to rip, and sometimes does despite a glut of smug inside jokes.
  15. Bubble Boy
    What a bummer! Certainly the meanest-spirited film ever associated with the Disney hallmark.
  16. Innocence
    A sweet but labored love story.
  17. American Outlaws
    There's no escaping the hackneyed plot or Mayfield's conventional hand. So don't go.
  18. Captain Corelli's Mandolin
    A bungled screen version of Louis de Bernieres' cult novel, Captain Corelli's Mandolin was doomed from the moment Nicolas Cage was cast as the "life-devouring," Puccini-loving hero.
  19. Rat Race
    And even though the jokes keep on coming, not all are side-splitters. But before it's all over, they will have viewers howling at one or more pants-wettingly silly moments.
  20. Aberdeen
    It's clean and transparent, with no movie director tricks. The characters, not the montages, speak the loudest.
  21. An American Rhapsody
    The movie is a little crude for the subtlety of the emotions it plays with.
  22. All Over the Guy
    The movie's entertaining for some wickedly funny situations and witticisms.
  23. American Pie 2
    This film isn't so much a sequel to the original "American Pie" as a reduction of it.
  24. The Others
    A tantalizing spine-tingler.
  25. Osmosis Jones
    Should never have been released, not even on video. It should have been placed in a hazardous waste container, encased in concrete and dumped into the Farrelly brothers' septic tank.
  26. The Deep End
    The real story lies beneath the surface of this superbly acted, strangely moving film.
  27. Original Sin
    About half a notch above disaster.
  28. Under solen
    Makes a virtue of its own simplicity. But don't be fooled. That simplicity is mere cover. You're kept wondering about the outcome until the very end.
  29. The Princess Diaries
    The movie updates Disney's blueprint without altering it in any meaningful way.
  30. Rush Hour 2
    It's about half as much fun as the original.
