• VISUAL: 87
  
• STORY: 54
  
• ACTING: 66
  
• BETTER THAN: Carnosaur
  
• NOT AS GOOD AS: Jurassic Park
  
• WAS MISSING: Any desire to root for the humans
  
• SEE IT FOR: Mum-Rah, beautiful red sails and the bird from Hell that every pet owner should have.

Definitely, Maybe

IMDB: Definitely, Maybe

• OVERALL: 89
  
• VISUAL: 91
  
• STORY: 94
  
• ACTING: 82
  
• BETTER THAN: Alfie
  
• NOT AS GOOD AS: Wimbledon
  
• WAS MISSING: A kid you can root for. I mean, aren't there any other child actors out there other than Abigail Breslin?
  
• SEE IT FOR: Klein's drunk. Weisz is at the top of her funny-looking-yet-hot game as an intelligent, quirky, strong tease. Sadly, Reynolds loses some appeal as soon as they take away his bite and replace it with schmarm... this coming from a big fan of his sharp humor.
  

The Benchwarmers

IMDB: The Benchwarmers

• OVERALL: 59
  
• VISUAL: 64
  
• STORY: 59
  
• ACTING: 53
  
• BETTER THAN: Ed
  
• NOT AS GOOD AS: The Sandlot
  
• WAS MISSING: The Benchwarmers trading card series.
  
• SEE IT FOR: Rob Schneider playing the stud to everybody else's loser, but to do this you'll have to stomach Spade's monk-do and Napoleon's... well... certainly no dynamite here.

Fire & Ice

IMDB: Fire & Ice

• OVERALL: 78
  
• VISUAL: 91
  
• STORY: 75
  
• ACTING: 69
  
• BETTER THAN: Quest for Camelot
  
• NOT AS GOOD AS: Heavy Metal
  
• WAS MISSING: Clothes. I think everybody chose fashion over protection.
  
• SEE IT FOR: Frazetta's artwork inspired this bad boy, so enjoy the battle sequences, women and warriors.

August Rush

IMDB: August Rush

• OVERALL: 91
  
• VISUAL: 89
  
• STORY: 94
  
• ACTING: 90
  
• BETTER THAN: School of Rock
  
• NOT AS GOOD AS: I Know My First Name is Steven
• WAS MISSING: Pie, but I guess not every movie can be Waitress. It also could've used a little more hardship for the runaway to add a stronger dose of reality and consequence, which would have made the triumphs that much sweeter.
  
• SEE IT FOR: Russell picks back up the role of Felicity, Rhys Meyers sizzles on screen as well as on the mic, and they throw in some great guitar performances.

Nomad: The Warrior

IMDB: Nomad: The Warrior

• OVERALL: 75
• VISUAL: 80
  
• STORY: 74
  
• ACTING: 70
  
• BETTER THAN: Warriors of Heaven and Earth (Tian di ying xiong)
  
• NOT AS GOOD AS: Gladiator
  
• WAS MISSING: Originality. It has every epic movie cliche rolled into one Kazakh setting. You may actually think you are watching Gladiator if you doze off.
  
• SEE IT FOR: Kuno Becker's smile. Really. Also, composer Siliotto makes a score that sounds eerily similar to Edelman's Dragonheart score, which isn't a bad thing!
  

Tears of the Sun

IMDB: Tears of the Sun

• OVERALL: 74
• VISUAL: 74
  
• STORY: 77
  
• ACTING: 71
  
• BETTER THAN: Men of War
  
• NOT AS GOOD AS: Let's Get Harry
  
• WAS MISSING: The hectic pace and sneaky tension of a rescue film should have. Director Fuqua's deliberate style didn't mesh well with the jungle violence.
  
• SEE IT FOR: Monica Bellucci and Bruce Willis fans may enjoy, but not much for the rest of us... even the war fanatics.
