Posted Jul 16, 2004
 
The Story of the Weeping Camel (2004)95%
/
3/4

Posted Mar 7, 2003
 
Gerry (2003)61%
/
4/4
 
"This story still seems timely and important. And there's an element of heartbreak to watching it now, with older and wiser eyes, because we know what will happen after Greene's story ends."
Posted Feb 7, 2003
 
The Quiet American (2002)89%
/
4/4
 
"This breezy caper movie becomes a soulful, incisive meditation on the way we were, and the way we are."
Posted Dec 25, 2002
 
Catch Me If You Can (2002)96%
/
3/4
 
"Kaufman's carefully constructed screenplay emphasizes so many layers of duality, it's beyond gimmick. It's a world view."

Adaptation (2002)90%

Posted Dec 20, 2002
 
Gangs of New York (2002)76%
/
2.5/4

Tosca (2002)67%

Analyze That (2002)27%
/
3/4
 
"Overall, this is a juicy movie but certainly not a trashy one."
Posted Nov 29, 2002
 
The Crime of Padre Amaro (2002)62%
/
1.5/4
 
"A serious movie with serious ideas. But seriously, folks, it doesn't work."
Posted Nov 27, 2002
 
Solaris (2002)64%
/
 
"One wants good storytelling from animated films, and Treasure Planet is working with a good one. But, like pirates hoarding gold, it gets greedy trying to wow us with too much."
Posted Nov 27, 2002
 
Treasure Planet (2002)71%
/
3/4
 
"The movie lets us realize this Sound, still so alive and vibrant today, was created by flesh-and-blood people, each of whom has a compelling story to tell."
Posted Nov 22, 2002
 
Standing in the Shadows of Motown (2002)92%
/
3/4
 
"If you stay with the story's overly familiar arc, there is an unexpected plot twist that redeems the film, and makes a valuable point."
Posted Nov 22, 2002
 
The Emperor's Club (2002)50%
/
4/4
 
"It's a film that's loving toward all concerned, even when they cause each other pain. And it is overwhelmingly, refreshingly sincere even while being revisionist."
Posted Nov 15, 2002
 
Far From Heaven (2002)91%
/
3/4
 
"Leigh makes these lives count. And he allows a gawky actor like Spall -- who could too easily become comic relief in any other film -- to reveal his impressively delicate range."
Posted Nov 15, 2002
 
All or Nothing (2002)83%
/
3.5/4
 
"Not only are the special effects and narrative flow much improved, and Daniel Radcliffe more emotionally assertive this time around as Harry, but the film conjures the magic of author J.K. Rowling's books."
Posted Nov 15, 2002
 
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)82%
/
2.5/4

Frida (2002)75%
/
3/4
 
"Making the city look grimy and lonely, dark and wasted but still alive with people who care, the film gets you rooting for the guys who want to make 'Mo' (short for Motown) a major player."
Posted Nov 8, 2002
 
8 Mile (2002)75%
/
4/4
 
"Bloody Sunday not only is a classic study in the way things can go devastatingly, violently wrong, but also a lesson in the importance of not letting that happen."
Posted Nov 1, 2002
 
Bloody Sunday (2002)92%
/
2.5/4
 
"Like Chappaqua, the movie doesn't live up to the legend."

Posted Oct 25, 2002
 
Comedian (2002)77%

3.5/4
 
"At its best, which occurs often, Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine rekindles the muckraking, soul-searching spirit of the 'Are we a sick society?' journalism of the 1960s."

Bowling for Columbine (2002)96%
/
2.5/4
 
"Everything about Punch-Drunk Love works in a Being John Malkovich sort of way save one. Sandler. When your star doesn't work, it's hard to get us to buy into the rest of a movie as unusual as this."
Posted Oct 25, 2002
 
Punch-Drunk Love (2002)79%
/
3.5/4

Formula 51 (2002)26%
/
3.5/4
 
"It's far better than most gimmicky horror films."
Posted Oct 18, 2002
 
The Ring (2002)72%
/
 
"It further declares its director, Zhang Yang of Shower, as a boldly experimental, contemporary stylist with a bright future."
Posted Oct 11, 2002
 
Quitting (2002)77%
/
2/4
 
"Tiresomely derivative and hammily acted."
Posted Oct 11, 2002
 
Knockaround Guys (2002)19%

2/4
 
"Too many of [Astrid's] experiences with adults ring false."
Posted Oct 11, 2002
 
White Oleander (2002)70%

3/4
 
"Rewarding for what it attempts and often achieves."
Posted Oct 4, 2002
 
Moonlight Mile (2002)65%
/
1/4
 
"Manages to be both repulsively sadistic and mundane."
Posted Oct 4, 2002
 
Red Dragon (2002)68%
/
3.5/4
 
"The acting is such a delight, with each actress nailing her respective personality type with appropriate flair and finesse, that it breathes with life."

8 Women (2002)78%
/
3.5/4
 
"It is truly original in its tone, its choices made and paths taken."
Posted Sep 27, 2002
 
Secretary (2002)74%
/
2.5/4
 
"It makes you believe the cast and crew thoroughly enjoyed themselves and believed in their small-budget film."
Posted Sep 20, 2002
 
Men With Brooms (2002)63%
/
3.5/4
 
"This 'dark comedy' has an amazing amount of heart to go with its darkness."
Posted Sep 20, 2002
 
Igby Goes Down (2002)76%
/
3/4
 
"A shrewdly observed, relatively subtle and gentle satire that exudes genuine empathy and understanding for all its varied characters."
Posted Sep 20, 2002
 
The Banger Sisters (2002)47%
/
1.5/4
 
"Weighted down with slow, uninvolving storytelling and flat acting."
Posted Sep 20, 2002
 
The Four Feathers (2002)42%
/
3.5/4
 
"A thought-provoking, artful accomplishment by writer/director Mark Romanek, who reveals a powerfully understated vision of the haunting loneliness behind the forced cheerfulness of the discount store."
Posted Aug 30, 2002
 
One Hour Photo (2002)81%
/
3.5/4
 
"With enough verve and energy, if a not an absolute devotion to truth, to keep you dancing and thinking for days."
Posted Aug 30, 2002
 
24 Hour Party People (2002)86%
/
3.5/4

3.5/4
