2002 movie reviews
  1. While the film does take its time stepping out on its own and out of the shadows of Aladdin and its "tale as old as time" story (Long's own words), Wish Dragon is a heartwarming, charming film with a great message and lovely characters.
  2. Lou
    Lou is a quiet thriller that takes a deep dive into the consequences of one’s actions. The film enables Janney and Jurnee Smollett to command every scrap of attention through physical and emotionally compelling performances.
  3. Argylle is worth checking out for those interested, but don't expect it to be as good as Kingsman: The Secret Service, though it's certainly better than The King's Man.

    I’ll Be Right There is worth watching for the acting and occasionally fantastic writing, but it ends on an inconclusive and unfulfilling note.
  4. Filled with passion and a performance from Anaïs Demoustier that is equal parts energetic and blisteringly self-aware, Anaïs in Love is hilarious and romantic even if its resolution ultimately falters.
  5. Genuinely fun and touching in parts, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania casts familiar characters in new molds, adding more heart to the franchise.
  6. A Perfect Pairing may not stand out to most, but its wholesome aura, charming leads, and beautiful cinematography is enough to warrant an enthusiastic watch. If the goal for any romantic comedy is to fill one with that particular, indescribable warm and fuzzy feeling, then A Perfect Pairing accomplishes that.
  7. All told, Swiped is a conventional, even hopeful biopic. Lily James is great in the lead role.
  8. An American Pickle is a fun, fleeting buddy comedy that spreads its humorous premise a bit too thin, minimizing the story's impact.
  9. See For Me is an exciting home invasion thriller that dares to challenge viewers with a complicated lead, even if it somewhat fumbles the execution.
  10. The biggest selling point is Squibb. With a mischievous twinkle in her eye, she shoots off wisecracks and plenty of grandmotherly affection, and you almost wish you could be friends with Eleanor too.
  11. Held together by the cast’s chemistry and strong character dynamics, The Tender Bar is a touching film about growing up and the people who shape you.
  12. Ultimately, Cassandro is a touching tale of a remarkable person who paved the path for others to find liberation and acceptance through their chosen art.
  13. Trolls World Tour serves up enough psychedelic visuals and positive messages to earn its keep.
  14. As an actor, Bartholomew has a lot riding on her performance, and for the most part, she nails it. Her physicality stands out above all else, as she expertly telegraphs internal changes and anguish to the audience through her body language.
  15. In Aporia, drama takes center stage and bells and whistles are few and far between. The production value is simple but effective, as are the performances. By the time the credits roll, Moshe’s film makes its point and, crucially, does not overstay its welcome.
  16. Between its familiar premise and genuine performances, Summerland is occasionally hindered by melodrama, but is overall a very sweet film.
  17. Mark Wahlberg leads a good ensemble cast while sweetly interacting with Arthur the dog, and it’s cute and heartwarming, with the film doing exactly what it aims for.
  18. Love at First Sight has the potential to be a go-to choice whenever one is feeling in the mood for a light cry and swoon.
  19. Overall, the pulpier and the dumber it gets, Primate provides a pretty good reason to get to the theater in January. And, it gets pretty pulpy and dumb indeed.
  20. Not everything works and the humor tends to run its course, but Gates puts a solid effort together given the limitations.
  21. Uneven yet sincere in its execution, Sergio combines simplified political melodrama with a tragic love story powered by its leads' performances.
  22. The Last Letter From Your Lover is a charming look at two love stories, and while it's hardly anything new, the film holds plenty of warmth.
  23. The film is full of heart and humor, and the message of self-acceptance in a world where there is pressure to be anyone but oneself is affirming and lovely. Bolstered by a fantastic performance by Verma, Mustache makes for a sweet and wholesome viewing experience.
  24. It doesn’t always capitalize on its strengths, but Don’t Make Me Go is a journey worth taking thanks to fantastic performances from its two leads.
  25. Late Bloomers offers a nice take on the coming-of-age story that is endearing and gives its characters the attention they deserve.
  26. It's possible to watch this movie thinking mostly of what could have been – if the script was as deft as it sometimes pretends to be, this had the makings of a truly great thriller. But The Rip is a good time when experienced on its wavelength, and worthy material for a relaxed night in.

    Still, by choosing to play with the conventions of paranormal investigation TV shows and grounding the story in character, the film finds a way to make what it's working with both tense and fun, even if a couple missteps chip away at what is an otherwise effective finale.
  27. Space Jam: A New Legacy is a fun family movie bolstered by a good heart and strong visuals that make up for a lack in originality.
  28. Appendage is a solid outing by Zlokovic, and the horror elements complement the story’s message about self-doubt, even if it doesn’t push the envelope any more than it has to.
