  1. Chopper
    It's a great style, it's a fabulous performance, but it never quite finds what it's searching for.
  2. Joe Dirt
    We should be asking ourselves why so noble a nation would produce swill like Joe Dirt.
  3. Just Visiting
    A lot of it is low, crude, admittedly comic in the rudest positive sense, which involves a lot of falling down to humorous effect.
  4. Beautiful Creatures
    Wonderfully empowering to watch Petula and Dorothy turn the tables on their testosterone-crazed tormentors.
  5. The Day I Became a Woman
    An episodic drama rich in sly humor and symbolic imagery.
  6. Along Came a Spider
    A corkscrew of a thriller, has more twists than a tarantula with a permanent.
  7. Pokémon 3: The Movie
    Confusing as heck.
  8. Shadow Magic
    It's a film about culture clash, the generation gap and the loss of tradition that inevitably accompanies the arrival of anything new.
  9. Blow
    You can't make an epic about a mouse.
  10. Amores Perros
    Anguish ranges from gritty and realistic to the tragicomic soap opera found in Pedro Almodovar's films.
  11. The Tailor of Panama
    The rhythms excite expectations that go unanswered.
  12. Someone Like You...
    A gooey romantic comedy that sticks to everything except its principles.
  13. Spy Kids
    Energetic and slickly done, but also somewhat soulless.
  14. Tomcats
    Go expecting the very worst. Just don't expect to laugh.
  15. The Brothers
    A lively, affectionate and well-acted romantic comedy, takes a raunchy look at relationships from the black male perspective.
  16. Heartbreakers
    Trust me, you'll want to leave these people to get on with their tedious scams alone.
  17. Say It Isn't So
    This time, the jokes about dead animals, gunk in the hair, incest and all other taboos are flatter than the road kill Gilly finds himself picking up for a living.
  18. Too Much Sleep
    It's nothing less than a spiritual journey set in New Jersey.

    Keep the River on Your Right: A Modern Cannibal Tale
    Provides a fascinating glimpse of how the human spirit struggles.

  20. Memento
    Unforgettable, especially in Pearce's startling performance.
  21. Enemy at the Gates
    Still, if the movie is mediocre, the history it represents is not. For that correction to our collective Western amnesia, then, Annaud deserves some special award.
  22. The Dish
    Simple fare, a feel-good movie that re-creates a time and place with gentle humor and a reminder that the Aussies have the right stuff, too.
  23. Kissing Jessica Stein
    The performers bring freshness to what could have been cliched roles.
  24. When Brendan Met Trudy
    Its greatest asset...Flora Montgomery, a flash of blond, Irish fire who makes Trudy well worth Brendan's trouble.
  25. 15 Minutes
    They (De Niro, Burns) look good together. But what a staggering pity they chose such a nasty, hackneyed movie to demonstrate their chemistry.
  26. Blow Dry
    Although filled with fey, flamboyant characters, the stereotype of the gay hairdresser seems to have been meticulously expunged.
  27. Me You Them
    The region's stark beauty and the filmmaker's eye for composition compensate somewhat for its predictability and obvious if misguided feminist agenda.
  28. The Caveman's Valentine
    If anyone can sell the idea of ... some psycho "Sherlock Holmes," it's Samuel L. Jackson.
  29. See Spot Run
    See critic run. Oh, for the days of Smell-a-Vision.
  30. The Mexican
    Feels patently inauthentic.
