For this midyear report card, I had a hard time making a list of the best films thus far, because we've only had a few great ones. As for stinkers, the problem I had was figuring out what to cut from an ever-growing list of garbage.

88 Minutes: Not 88 minutes long and not entertaining, but great for Al Pacino's libido.
