  1. But I'm a Cheerleader
    Relentlessly offensive.
  2. The Kid
    So rich in processed sugar, canned sentiment and schmaltz, I thought I was going to throw up.
  3. 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.
  4. The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle
    Never asks its target audience of self-referential baby boomers and their littles bundles of joy to take it more seriously than it takes itself.
  5. The Perfect Storm
    As a movie, this is exciting stuff.
  6. Trixie
    Although the hallmarks of Rudolph movies can be found everywhere -- they don't add up to the usual magic this time.
  7. The Patriot
    Mostly, the movie is riveting, well-done fare -- the stuff of Hollywood epic adventure.
  8. Me, Myself & Irene
    If you choose to see this puerile tripe, check your dignity at the door.
  9. Chicken Run
    The visual comedy is brilliant.
  10. Marcel Proust's Time Regained
    It's the sort of movie that can make normally well-read and intelligent viewers feel stupid.
  11. Titan A.E.
    It continually crashes and burns on its own banality.
  12. Shaft
    Shaft? Not in this splashy-but-empty remake he isn't.
  13. Boys and Girls
    An adolescent romance that isn't smart enough to mirror "When Harry Met Sally" or crudely amusing enough to get close to "American Pie."
  14. Butterfly Tongues
    The film's climax was only one of several moments that left me utterly verklempt, without ever knowing that my buttons were being pushed.
  15. Jesus' Son
    Crudup gives a performance that is by turns scary, heartbreaking, grotesque and funny as hell.
  16. Love's Labour's Lost
    KEN, KEN, KEN, not another Shakespeare, pleeeeeeez.
  17. Groove
    The best thing about this movie? It's short.
  18. Sunshine
    It's a brilliant, profound movie, but it's almost no fun at all.
  19. Gone in Sixty Seconds
    There were moments when I thought Gone in 60 Seconds might be a passably entertaining movie. I figure those moments, strung end-to-end, would total 30 or 40 seconds.
  20. Big Momma's House
    If you're not rolling in the aisles, you're definitely in the wrong theater.
  21. Grass
    It has as much of an ax to grind as the humorless and misguided bureaucrats it mocks.
  22. Passion of Mind
    You won't feel enlightened, just let down
  23. 8 ½ Women
    Intentionally defies categorization and explication.
  24. Shanghai Noon
    Childishly simple, but extremely funny.
  25. Kikujirô no natsu
    The episodes are too convoluted to get into.
  26. Mission: Impossible II
    Such a feast of outlandish pleasures it'll send you home steam-cleaned and shrink-wrapped.
  27. Small Time Crooks
    Diverting and provides a satisfying alternative to teen-oriented summer comedy.
  28. Road Trip
    It satisfies your appetite for totally tasteless but deliciously flaky boy movies.
  29. Dinosaur
    The occasional big moments are stunning, and kids from the ages of, say, 6 years to 6 years and 3 days will love it. Anyone younger will be scared; anyone older, bored.
  30. Center Stage
    All dancing and hugging and no good.
