3/4	" At the Death House Door is a sobering account of Pickett's gradual evolution from pro-death penalty minister to a man struggling to reconcile his complicated role in those deaths." -- Chicago Tribune Posted May 8, 2008	At the Death House Door (2008)	100%
3/4	" It's a raw and raucous rock story that, for once, gets the big picture and the small details right." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 23, 2003	Prey for Rock & Roll (2003)	57%
1/4	" Here is yet another video game transferred to film with little enhancement or development." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 17, 2003	House of the Dead (2003)	4%
2.5/4	" Meadows clearly has a flair for working with actors and for depicting the rough-and-tumble of ordinary provincial lives. If he could go just a bit deeper, the truly great Midlands movie just might surface." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Sep 18, 2003	Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (2003)	51%
2/4	" Schlock that could and should have been better." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Sep 8, 2003	The Order (2003)	7%
3/4	" This lively, entertaining documentary shows how surfing has evolved into an extreme sport popular the world over, and yet still retains its slacker, sun-bleached charm." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Aug 14, 2003	Step Into Liquid (2003)	82%
2.5/4	" *An old-fashioned weepie buffed to a Masterpiece Theater* gloss.*" -- Chicago Tribune* Posted Jul 24, 2003	The Heart of Me (2003)	49%
2/4	" A feast to behold, but it lacks substance and will leave most viewers wholly unsatisfied." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jun 19, 2003	The Eye (2003)	67%
3.5/4	" A remarkable movie." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jun 19, 2003	Gloomy Sunday (2003)	84%
2/4	" Without the ready-made drama of coming out and identity struggle, gay romance can feel as flimsy and forced as its straight counterpart." -- Chicago Tribune Posted May 29, 2003	A Family Affair (2003)	25%
4/4	" Shatters myths and stereotypes about the welfare cycle as it delivers an unforgettable portrait of complex lives still largely ignored by popular culture." -- Chicago Tribune Posted May 15, 2003	Love and Diane (2003)	97%
2/4	" *As with most movies that start as comic sketches -- much of the Saturday Night Live* franchise, for example -- the funny ideas and characters are rarely fleshed out enough to justify 90 minutes.*" -- Chicago Tribune* Posted Apr 17, 2003	Malibu's Most Wanted (2003)	30%
2/4	" Griffin isn't untalented, but he seems unpolished, not quite ready to carry the weight of a 90-minute concert film." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Apr 3, 2003	DysFunKtional Family (2003)	44%
2.5/4	" *[Akerlund] has effectively created a head-spinning, flesh-crawling milieu all his own, but Spun* is ultimately short on substance and long on style.*" -- Chicago Tribune* Posted Apr 3, 2003	Spun (2003)	36%
3/4	" An engaging, entertaining glimpse into the lives of musicians nestled in the titular Hollywood Hills enclave." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Mar 27, 2003	Laurel Canyon (2003)	67%
3/4	" Not only appropriate for preschoolers, but it also has enough sophistication for older kids." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Mar 20, 2003	Piglet's Big Movie (2003)	72%
2.5/4	" A clever, original thriller that bows to no genre." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Feb 20, 2003	Intacto (2002)	72%
3/4	" A welcome respite from verbal nastiness and sexual cynicism." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Feb 6, 2003	Deliver Us From Eva (2003)	43%
1/4	" FD2, despite some imaginative fatalities, is less a movie than a slick video game." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jan 30, 2003	Final Destination 2 (2003)	46%
1.5/4	" The film's crude humor and violence -- cartoonish, but still violent -- should offend parents of younger kids. Yet its ultra-broad, pratfall-filled comedy will satisfy only the most indiscriminate teens." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jan 16, 2003	Kangaroo Jack (2003)	8%
3.5/4	" Move over Bond; this girl deserves a sequel." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Dec 19, 2002	The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002)	79%
3/4	" Bigelow directs this screen version of Anita Shreve's complex novel with polish and a flair for the melodramatic." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 31, 2002	The Weight of Water (2002)	32%
2/4	" *An R-rated version of Survivor, Big Brother* or any number of reality-TV shows that present voyeurism as entertainment and exploitation as insight.*" -- Chicago Tribune* Posted Oct 24, 2002	The Experiment (2002)	73%
1.5/4	" It seems just a long, convoluted ploy to get men into drag -- period drag, no less." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 24, 2002	All the Queen's Men (2002)	7%
2/4	" An adequate horror movie for the Halloween season, but it too easily sinks into haunted-house-film conventions, even if the haunted house is decked out as an Italian luxury liner." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 24, 2002	Ghost Ship (2002)	13%
2/4	" The latest installment in the Pokemon canon, Pokemon 4ever is surprising less moldy and trite than the last two, likely because much of the Japanese anime is set in a scenic forest where Pokemon graze in peace." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 10, 2002	Pokemon 4Ever (2002)	14%
1.5/4	" It might hold some appeal to undiscriminating fans of the ultra-bland, tough-guys-in -black-doing -dumb-things genre." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 10, 2002	Knockaround Guys (2002)	19%
3/4	" An ebullient toast to grande dames: part homage, part camp, all artifice and a thoroughly entertaining, if light, confection." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Sep 26, 2002	8 Women (2002)	78%
2.5/4	" Equal parts bodice-ripper and plodding costume drama." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Sep 19, 2002	Mad Love (2001)	47%
3.5/4	" A well-crafted film that is all the more remarkable because it achieves its emotional power and moments of revelation with restraint and a delicate ambiguity." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Sep 12, 2002	Swimming (2002)	74%
2.5/4	" This Sade is hardly a perverse, dangerous libertine and agitator -- which would have made for better drama. He's just a sad aristocrat in tattered finery, and the film seems as deflated as he does." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Aug 29, 2002	Sade (2002)	67%
2/4	" One can hardly argue with the desire to make a wholesome movie for families that extols honesty and decency, but it all comes too easily, too superficially." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Aug 22, 2002	Little Secrets (2001)	60%
3.5/4	" Manages to transcend the sex, drugs and show-tunes plot into something far richer." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Aug 8, 2002	The Cockettes (2002)	89%
2.5/4	" *Despite its shortcomings, Girls Can't Swim* represents an engaging and intimate first feature by a talented director to watch, and it's a worthy entry in the French coming-of-age genre.*" -- Chicago Tribune* Posted Aug 8, 2002	Girls Can't Swim (2002)	71%
3/4	" My Wife offers the best and the worst of both Allen's ego-and- neuroses-based humor and Truffaut's romanticism about love and movies." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Aug 1, 2002	My Wife is an Actress (2002)	65%
3/4	" Weaver and Neuwirth are the sparks in this film, as they project a maternal sexiness and sincerity that's entirely believable." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 25, 2002	Tadpole (2002)	79%
3/4	" A welcome family film that extols noble values and offers first-class animation." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 20, 2002	Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002)	68%
4/4	" *Beautifully crafted and brutally honest, Promises* offers an unexpected window into the complexities of prejudice.*" -- Chicago Tribune* Posted Jul 20, 2002	Promises (2002)	96%
2/4	" The reliability of the genre doesn't excuse predictable jokes, pat fiascoes and so many stereotypes that one is tempted to alert the Greek anti-defamation league." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 20, 2002	My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)	76%
3/4	" A film that is visually compelling and highly entertaining in an in-jokey sort of way." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 20, 2002	CQ (2002)	66%
2/4	" *The formulaic script, stocked with not one truly menacing inmate, echoes far too many sentimental post-Full Monty* imports.*" -- Chicago Tribune* Posted Jul 20, 2002	Lucky Break (2002)	49%
3/4	" A vivid rendering of the complexities of the artist's soul, and a notable attempt to convey the trajectory of a volatile creative life." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 20, 2002	Pi�ero (2001)	45%
2/4	" It's too soap opera-ish to carry the heavy weight of the morality play Shafer has fashioned." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 20, 2002	Circuit (2002)	20%
3/4	" A powerhouse of a film about modern journalism and war." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 20, 2002	Harrison's Flowers (2002)	49%
2.5/4	" An uneven mix of genres that, even when it misses the mark, gets points for originality and a good beat." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 20, 2002	Cherish (2002)	47%
3/4	" Mixes slapstick, poignancy, tragedy and sophisticated wit." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 20, 2002	Crush (2002)	34%
	" Its ambitiousness and artistry should satisfy discriminating fans of the anime genre." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 20, 2002	Escaflowne The Movie (2000)	43%
1.5/4	" *Like its parade of predecessors, this Halloween* is a gory slash-fest. It can't escape its past, and it doesn't want to.*" -- Chicago Tribune* Posted Jul 13, 2002	Halloween: Resurrection (2002)	10%
3/4	" Delivers a surprising, moving portrait of contemporary womanhood." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 12, 2002	Lovely & Amazing (2002)	85%
3/4	" Toback offers a complex, borderline campy, and oddly entertaining study of modern moral dilemmas." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 11, 2002	Harvard Man (2002)	33%
