Kicking & Screaming (2005) Austin O'Connor As the coffee-fueled Phil lurches further and further over the edge of soccer coach impropriety, you can sense Ferrell struggling to break through the lame script

Hitch (2005) Austin O'Connor James comes crashing nervously into the movie like a fat guy who went through the wrong door and ended up on the fashion show catwalk. He's perfect.

Constantine (2005) Austin O'Connor It just so happens that I always had a theory on how to visit hell, too: Sit in a chair and watch a Keanu Reeves movie.

Be Cool (2005) Austin O'Connor There's some fun to be had here, but measured against Get Shorty, the movie doesn't fare so well.

The Upside of Anger (2005) Austin O'Connor though it's easy to poke fun at Costner, here is a movie that, for the first time in a long time, allows him to display his goofy affability.

Guess Who (2005) Austin O'Connor the movie is little more than an interracial riff on Meet the Parents, but it's consistently funny, and it's enough of a riff to make it feel fresh.

XXX: State of the Union (2005) Austin O'Connor As for female characters, in the xXx franchise, there are only two types of women: the ones with big breasts, and the ones with even bigger breasts.

Kingdom of Heaven (2005) Austin O'Connor The Crusades may seem like a strange source for such an entertaining summer blockbuster, but it's refreshing to see Scott going for something a bit more meaningful.

The Interpreter (2005) Austin O'Connor No doubt there have been more intriguing tales played out in its halls than the passable whodunit the movie provides, but this one does have its moments

White Noise (2005) Austin O'Connor For [Keaton], a forgettable flick like this one is like a rehab stint in A ball for a big league pitcher

3.5/4
The Aviator (2004) Austin O'Connor [A]n empathetic, supremely entertaining portrait of a tortured man; DiCaprio's is one of the best screen performances in many a moon.

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) Austin O'Connor [C]inematic flotsam that drifts quickly out of mind.

Meet the Fockers (2004) Austin O'Connor Stiller - by starring in Meet the Fockers, one of the year's final releases - pulls into a buzzer-beating tie with Jude Law as the most-overexposed actor of the movie year.

Finding Neverland (2004) Austin O'Connor There's a simple word to describe Finding Neverland, but it's one that too few movies can qualify for these caustic days: lovely.

2/4
Shark Tale (2004) Austin O'Connor Not even the eye candy animation is all that great. The film has a flat look that matches it comedic tone.

2.5/4
Mr. 3000 (2004) Austin O'Connor Bernie Mac is effortlessly funny and constantly likable, even when he's acting like a jerk, and that's what saves Mr. 3000 from the scrap heap of broken baseball movie dreams.

Cellular (2004) Austin O'Connor It isn't terrible, even if there are too many moments that rely on the central characters being either extremely stupid or unforgivably forgetful.

Without a Paddle (2004) Austin O'Connor wholly undignified.

The Bourne Supremacy (2004) Austin O'Connor [F]antastic, a whiz-bang follow-up that far surpasses the original as it breathlessly zigs and zags all over the globe.

I, Robot (2004) Austin O'Connor [E]nough breathtaking visuals to make you forgive the movie its plot holes and its tendency to lapse into product placement parody.

A Cinderella Story (2004) Austin O'Connor just about the same exact movie as all those other trifles aimed at the tween girl demographic that have been unleashed upon the unsuspecting moviegoing masses this year

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) Austin O'Connor it seems like Ferrell can take just about any idea, however threadbare, and make it funny.

Sleepover (2004) Austin O'Connor Unless you're an extremely undiscriminating 14-year-old girl, sleeping through Sleepover is the only way to escape unscathed.

Before Sunset (2004) Austin O'Connor Emotionally, it's a high-wire act as dazzling as any of the CGI effects that pack all those big budget blockbusters.

De-Lovely (2004) Austin O'Connor Director Irwin Winkler and screenwriter Jay Cocks know that Porter's songs are his story, and so they take care to weave his tunes seamlessly into their movie's structure.

The Notebook (2004) Austin O'Connor The movie believes that Alzheimer's can take away everything but love. I don't know if that's true, but I don't see any harm in believing it is.

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) Austin O'Connor What's startling about the controversy that surrounds the movie's release is how little of its information and how few of its allegations against Bush are new.

Around the World in 80 Days (2004) Austin O'Connor ...a pleasing mix of martial arts and madcap comedy, with a string of big-name cameos thrown in for good measure.

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004) Austin O'Connor There haven't been so many shots of guys getting hit where-it-counts since the heyday of America's Funniest Home Videos.
