2002 movie reviews
  1. In between nonchalant murders, Beers, Bacon, and Sedgwick aim for grounded heart-to-heart conversations of a kind that don't exactly feel at home in the movie's otherwise topsy-turvy world. But being that this is a real family that has worked together for decades, their chemistry elevates the somewhat lackluster writing to deliver a pleasurable, if tame experience.
  2. The Binge is as ridiculous as its premise implies, which can be fun at times, while others it's a bit like a wild ride you wish you could get off.
  3. Waugh knows how to build an action sequence with the best of them, and Shelter is, ultimately, an electric actioner, so long as it is sticking to the action.
  4. The documentary doesn't know who Jeff Buckley was. However, it might expose what we are desperate to get from him, long past the time he has anything left to give.
  5. While the film is romantic and poignant in parts, the whole thing falls apart when it relies on the central couple, who lack intense chemistry and substance.
  6. Black Friday is a solid camp thriller that blends hilarious visual gags with some seriously grisly — if problematic — guts and gore.
  7. Delivering the blood, gore, and guts you would expect from the classics of the genre, Ziam has no intention of reinventing anything, unabashedly leaning into the tropes of these stories that audiences know well.
  8. As the stakes rise alongside the body count, Canning nicely captures Candice's struggle between her enduring faith and doing anything to protect her son, giving us just enough of an emotional center to overcome the film's familiarity.
  9. Ultimately, Over Your Dead Body is too messy for its own good. It is unable to settle into any one choice. The repeated motif of flashbacks and plot twists is fun, but not always useful in keeping the ball up.
  10. The Inspection has a few poignant moments, but its lack of introspection, well-developed character dynamics, and exploration of the systems in place keep the film from reaching its full potential.
  11. The beauty of a musical isn't just in the songs themselves, but the feelings they leave us with as we exit the theater. Leave One Day opts for a cheerier disposition that undermines staying power beyond its infectious tunes.
  12. The script is mind-numbingly silly and, at times, doesn't try to elevate the remake meaningfully; it's really about engaging with the wild action and nothing else.

    The themes end up both flagrantly obvious and obscured. On the one hand, the dialogue spells things out. On the other hand, broad martial arts sequences and goofy costumes detract from any nuance Zenithal could have conveyed. For those who want 80 minutes of overwrought crude jokes, this movie will not disappoint.
  13. With Rebel Moon, Snyder is positively bursting with exciting ideas, but they lack compelling characters and a solid plot to hold them up.
  14. Asphalt City might falter at times, but seeing Cross try to adapt to all the things happening to him makes for an interesting watch.
  15. As a piece of horror, the film is certainly effective, achieving a kind of discomforting aura that is sometimes missing from the too-polished genre fare released all-too-frequently.
  16. Cervera’s film is consistently intriguing, elevated by the dynamic between Winstead and Monroe, who have solid onscreen chemistry.
  17. Helmed by a brilliant Bullock, The Unforgivable is a flawed retelling of a profound story, limited by plot contrivances and an unconvincing execution.
  18. Despite subverting expectations and being edgy in its approach, the lack of energy and fearlessness keeps this story from reaching its full potential. Weiss's directorial debut is not a dud, but charm can only get you so far.
  19. The movie shows both the best and worst parts of Trachtenberg making two separate Predator movies simultaneously.

    The whole thing feels like a slightly wayward, if well-intentioned retread that was created out of the opportunity to answer three very specific mysteries in Rosemary's Baby, but muddled things too much. It's certainly passable, and there are things to admire, but this is nothing on the original.
  20. Candy-colored and ebullient, I Want Your Sex is not a bad film, but its hard to think of it positively when we know just how much more effective Araki has been behind the camera. The film is just never sure of what it is.
  21. The film boasts a twee quirkiness in style, but in its narrative, that promise never really comes to fruition. It is, in other words, a much more normal affair than what is promised. In spite of many genuine laughs, that just translates into a disappointing experience.
  22. The Devil All the Time is a slow, sprawling thriller, unfurling with creeping tension, but the cast's performances are more rewarding than the story.
  23. It's full of fast-talking tech nerds and morally compromised corporate A-holes, it bites off a bit more than it can chew in telling the story of Research in Motion, but it's still a good time, reminiscent of mid-budget dramedies that have all but disappeared in recent years.
  24. The film isn’t trying to hit us over the head with what it’s trying to say, but its themes have depth. When exploring career and glory vs. family, regret and the lengths one will go to return to a life that’s no longer tenable, McGuire gets in a few good swings. If only the horror lived up to these aspects of the film.
  25. Despite the spectacular stunt work, Extraction is a garden-variety action-thriller dragged down by its regressive white savior elements.
  26. Xeno doesn't make any gross missteps, but it doesn't have the juice to stand the test of time.
  27. The unfortunate thing about Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare is that it fluctuates far too much between a sincere thriller and a tongue-in-cheek take on the character that it's just never as fun as it could be.
  28. Its approach is so diffuse that its uncertain and purposefully ambiguous ending is misguided at best.
