The Jungle Book 2 (2003) 19% 2/4 EDIT “There's enough entertainment value in Jungle Book 2 to make it worth an eventual video rental for youngsters, but it's not worth the effort or cost of going to the theater -- especially for parents.” – Reel.com Feb 14, 2003 Full Review The Recruit (2003) 43% 2.5/4 EDIT “You can get more dramatic complexity, excitement, jaw-dropping plot twists, inter-agent romance, and cool gadgetry for free by looking to TV's Alias and 24 for your next espionage assignment.” – Reel.com Jan 30, 2003 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 92% 4/4 EDIT “There's simply nothing like it.” – Reel.com Dec 27, 2002 Full Review Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) 79% 2/4 EDIT “Instead of exploring this dangerous mind, Clooney plays it safe, making his freshman film deadly dull as a result.” – Reel.com Dec 27, 2002 Full Review The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002) 80% 3/4 EDIT “If it sounds like The Wild Thornberrys might be a downbeat drama, think again. There's ample humor to balance the serious themes.” – Reel.com Dec 19, 2002 Full Review About Schmidt (2002) 86% 1.5/4 EDIT “There's nothing especially tragic and affecting here, just a bland character coping with some amusing family politics.” – Reel.com Dec 13, 2002 Full Review Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) 37% 2/4 EDIT “Though hardly a ridiculous mess like The Final Frontier, the 10th Trek outing, Nemesis, is as mediocre as the last franchise effort, Insurrection, with little appeal for anyone beyond patient, die-hard fans.” – Reel.com Dec 13, 2002 Full Review Treasure Planet (2002) 68% 2.5/4 EDIT “Anyone who's seen Titan A.E. will have a hard time not feeling deja vu, even though Disney's effort is slightly better.” – Reel.com Nov 26, 2002 Full Review Solaris (2002) 66% 2.5/4 EDIT “After the credits roll, the film leaves nothing to ponder, no big questions about man's relation to the universe, and no questions about the what lies beyond it.” – Reel.com Nov 26, 2002 Full Review Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) 82% 3/4 EDIT “From screaming mandrake plants to animal transfiguration to ethereal letters literally hanging in the air, [Columbus'] approach to the books' enchanting elements is marvelous to behold.” – Reel.com Nov 14, 2002 Full Review Frida (2002) 77% 3.5/4 EDIT “Frida not only recounts the story of one of the 20th century's most acclaimed artists, it offers viewers the rare experience of feeling her inspiration as well.” – Reel.com Oct 25, 2002 Full Review Jackass: The Movie (2002) 49% 3/4 EDIT “Incredibly funny.” – Reel.com Oct 25, 2002 Full Review The Happiness of the Katakuris (2001) 69% 2/4 EDIT “Hardcore Miike fans may want to catch this uncharacteristically upbeat curiosity; however, everyone will be much happier without the Katakuris.” – Reel.com Oct 24, 2002 Full Review Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie (2002) 64% 3/4 EDIT “A whale of a good time for both children and parents seeking Christian-themed fun.” – Reel.com Oct 19, 2002 Full Review The Ring (2002) 72% 3/4 EDIT “It deals out more surprises than clichés, and proves to be both entertaining and unsettling.” – Reel.com Oct 18, 2002 Full Review Tuck Everlasting (2002) 61% 2/4 EDIT “Contrary to its title, Tuck is unaffecting and completely forgettable.” – Reel.com Oct 10, 2002 Full Review Pokémon 4Ever (2002) 16% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's a shame that Pokemon 4Ever's dialogue is so trite and flatly delivered because the tale itself presents serious ideas worthy of more poetic language.” – Reel.com Oct 10, 2002 Full Review Trapped (2002) 17% 1.5/4 EDIT “Though there are many tense scenes in Trapped, they prove more distressing than suspenseful.” – Reel.com Sep 23, 2002 Full Review Crop Circles: Quest for Truth (2002) 56% 3/4 EDIT “Gazecki ... offers some compelling information about these mysterious field formations, yet his particular point of view leaves some nagging questions unaddressed.” – Reel.com Sep 17, 2002 Full Review Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams (2002) 75% 3.5/4 EDIT “At every level, it is crystal-clear that Spy Kids 2 is a labor of love concocted by one ingenious mind.” – Reel.com Aug 6, 2002 Full Review Signs (2002) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Shyamalan understands the power of suggestion better than most directors, showing only as much as necessary to feed the suspense.” – Reel.com Aug 2, 2002 Full Review The Country Bears (2002) 29% 1.5/4 EDIT “Unlike Kermit & Co., the Country Bears are completely devoid of charm.” – Reel.com Jul 26, 2002 Full Review Stuart Little 2 (2002) 82% 3/4 EDIT “Minkoff ... compensates for a lack of narrative and thematic originality with glorious art direction, ample energy, and abundant tongue-in-cheek humor.” – Reel.com Jul 19, 2002 Full Review Eight Legged Freaks (2002) 49% 3/4 EDIT “It's too bad that the drive-in is virtually extinct. Eight Legged Freaks would be perfect on a hot summer night, with all of this silliness offering no end of popcorn-munching fun.” – Reel.com Jul 17, 2002 Full Review The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course (2002) 53% 2/4 EDIT “Everything that's worthwhile about Collision Course can already be seen on television.” – Reel.com Jul 12, 2002 Full Review
