The Cooler (2003) 78% 2.5/4 EDIT “The movie is a little underworld and a little romance, but neither story has a lot of impact. It could benefit from playing up the mysticism of Bernie's lack of luck.” – Fantastica Daily Dec 19, 2003 Full Review Big Fish (2003) 76% 4/4 EDIT “Words can't describe the characters and color that inhabit this film.” – Fantastica Daily Dec 19, 2003 Full Review Mona Lisa Smile (2003) 33% 2.5/4 EDIT “A well written script can give a better slice of life depiction than a whole season of Rich Girls and The Simple Life. Interesting characters make it worthwhile.” – Fantastica Daily Dec 19, 2003 Full Review Girl With a Pearl Earring (2003) 73% 2/4 EDIT “This is a motion picture that has the stillness of a painting. Watching it is like watching pretty paint dry.” – Fantastica Daily Dec 12, 2003 Full Review Gothika (2003) 15% 2.5/4 EDIT “The ending has a suitable pay off, but overall the movie is derivative of other horror movies.” – Fantastica Daily Nov 24, 2003 Full Review The Singing Detective (2003) 40% 3.25/4 EDIT “Robert Downey Jr. goes into Johnny Depp territory with a great performance that is at once antic and next turning on the tears with ease.” – Fantastica Daily Nov 14, 2003 Full Review Mystic River (2003) 89% 3.5/4 EDIT “Eastwood's maturity is reflected in the story that doesn't back away from hard subjects and can admit that pain and remorse can mold a man's life.” – Fantastica Daily Oct 16, 2003 Full Review Veronica Guerin (2003) 53% 2.75/4 EDIT “The most intriguing scenes are of the dealers and their henchmen.” – Fantastica Daily Oct 16, 2003 Full Review Lost in Translation (2003) 95% 4/4 EDIT “The film is poetically austere in dialogue but thoughtful. Like a walk on a spring day, Lost in Translation is not momentous but rather pleasantly freeing.” – Fantastica Daily Oct 3, 2003 Full Review The School of Rock (2003) 92% 2.75/4 EDIT “This movie also has some of the biggest laughs of a comedy this year.” – Fantastica Daily Oct 3, 2003 Full Review American Splendor (2003) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “” – Fantastica Daily Sep 27, 2003 Full Review Duplex (2003) 36% 2.25/4 EDIT “Duplex's small laughs don't make up for the frustration I have with the story.” – Fantastica Daily Sep 25, 2003 Full Review Secondhand Lions (2003) 60% 3/4 EDIT “The fanciful flashbacks which are colorful and storybook-like add some magic to the mix.” – Fantastica Daily Sep 18, 2003 Full Review Resident Evil (2002) 36% 3/4 EDIT “In the category of zombie movies, this is top shelf.” – Fantastica Daily Sep 17, 2003 Full Review Matchstick Men (2003) 82% 3.5/4 EDIT “It is great to see Cage go from comedy to sentimentality to drama.” – Fantastica Daily Sep 11, 2003 Full Review The Medallion (2003) 17% 2.5/4 EDIT “As always [Chan] gets some big laughs.” – Fantastica Daily Sep 11, 2003 Full Review Uptown Girls (2003) 14% 2/4 EDIT “The ending is so forced that it betrays the movie's potential.” – Fantastica Daily Aug 27, 2003 Full Review Seabiscuit (2003) 77% 3.5/4 EDIT “The combination of these actors is amazing.” – Fantastica Daily Jul 25, 2003 Full Review Johnny English (2003) 33% 2.5/4 EDIT “It is unabashedly silly and playful. I don't think Atkinson could be mean or offensive if he tried.” – Fantastica Daily Jul 18, 2003 Full Review Bad Boys II (2003) 23% 3/4 EDIT “The humor between the characters is a real plus.” – Fantastica Daily Jul 18, 2003 Full Review Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003) 35% 3/4 EDIT “The movie stands alone as a nice film. But as a companion to the first movie, it tells a fuller story about a great spirit.” – Fantastica Daily Jul 2, 2003 Full Review Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) 41% 3/4 EDIT “The intrigue in the plot is weak, but the action makes up for it.” – Fantastica Daily Jun 27, 2003 Full Review Alex & Emma (2003) 11% 2.5/4 EDIT “I can't help being disappointed that Luke Wilson's wonderful dry humor is lost in this material.” – Fantastica Daily Jun 20, 2003 Full Review Down With Love (2003) 60% 3/4 EDIT “The nostalgic stuff is funny, but the movie turns into one note at parodying the stuff.” – Fantastica Daily May 16, 2003 Full Review Better Luck Tomorrow (2002) 81% 2/4 EDIT “Those looking for the gangster movie seen in the TV spots will be seriously disappointed.” – Fantastica Daily May 9, 2003 Full Review
