The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
(2002)
|
John Oliver
|
"After experiencing 'The Two Towers' you'll realize that 'The Fellowship' was merely a nice appetizer to the extravagant main course. Now we can't wait for dessert!"

Catch Me if You Can
(2002)
|
John Oliver
|
"It's a fascinating story, and 'Catch Me If You Can' is just as fascinating to watch, especially with Leo taking the reigns as the suave, persuasive con artist."

The Hours
(2002)
|
John Oliver
|
Ultimately, "The Hours" just beats us over the head one too many times with its depressing message.

Driven

|
Ron Bishow

The dialogue is so bad in Driven that at one of the dramatic points, the crowd erupted in laughter.

All in all, Brown Sugar is a satisfying well-made romantic comedy that's both charming and well acted. It will guarantee to have you leaving the theater with a smile on your face.

XXX
(2002)
|
Ron Bishow
|
A PlayStation game come to life, XXX is a movie almost exclusively dependent on the special effects department and the charm of its leading man, Vin Diesel. But it's sound and fury signifying nothing.

Undisputed

At 90 minutes this movie is short, but it feels much longer.

Blade II merges bits and pieces from fighting games, wire fu, horror movies, mystery, James Bond, wrestling, sci-fi and anime into one big bloody stew.

Extreme Ops
(2002)
|
John Oliver
|
"Extreme Ops" completely goes off the deep end when it decides to turn its light-hearted stunt exhibition story into some sort of terrorist thriller.

Jackass: The Movie
(2002)

The most amazing super-sized dosage of goofball stunts any "Jackass" fan could want.

Abandon
(2002)
|
John Oliver
|
If writer-director Steven Gaghan would have limited himself to one topic and created a meditative drama on college life, "Abandon" would have been worthwhile.

Sweet Home Alabama

If it weren't for Witherspoon, the only thing we'd remember about "Sweet Home Alabama" is its classic title song.

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever

"Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever" is one of those movies that you should see tucked away and the bottom of the New Release section in Blockbuster where all the other straight-to-video, Z-grade explosion flicks are kept.

If the screenwriters could have accompanied the beautiful visuals with a unqiue and unpredictable story this would have been a movie to place in AFI's Top 100 of all time.

Since "Scooby-Doo" stoops to such bottom-of-the-barrel laughs I have no qualms about using a few childish words to bash this infantile attempt at creating a live-action update of a classic cartoon. Scooby-Doo is poo.
