2002 movie reviews
  1. What could have been a thoughtful, poignant story about loss ended up being an unfortunate misfire.
  2. Although based on an intriguing philosophical conundrum, A Glitch in the Matrix feels unreal on all fronts, poorly-researched, out of touch and vapid.
  3. Unfortunately for the streamer, their latest outing, Swapped, is not merely bound to be forgotten. It's also one of Netflix's worst animated movies yet."
  4. The Shift is a Hallmark movie at best and will do nothing for those who are uninterested in faith-based cinema. As a work of science fiction, it does little to make the audience think.
  5. Honeydew feels derivative from start to finish, its arthouse elements lending an aura of inauthenticity to an already-lackluster backwoods nightmare.
  6. Though the actors have little to work with, they're a game ensemble, potentially making them the only redeeming quality of Hell of a Summer​​​​​​.
  7. Terrifier 3 has a real lack of tension that all the sawed-off limbs in the world can't Frankenstein together.

    While I am all for a genre-blended film, I found the movie's tonal clashes to be so extreme that it was hard to stay aligned with any character's internal experience.
  8. Scream 7 injects nostalgia and self-referentiality like a weak drug, a stash of weed purchased so long ago it has gone so stale it crumbles to the touch.
  9. The only real saving grace is the cast, who end up guinea pigs in a test of how difficult it is to overcome underbaked material.
  10. There is too much history — both in terms of the characters and the mythology — for newcomers to truly appreciate the events of the film. But it's unlikely to fully satisfy even the diehard fans either, even if there's some wicked enjoyment to be had seeing the Teen Wolf characters finally get to swear.
  11. The concept is promising, and the violent delirium of the movie's visuals show that this could have been a fun, adrenaline-fueled romp. Instead, it's just an unfunny comedy that leaves a bad taste in one's mouth.
  12. Petsch and Scipio are both extremely attractive and breezy performers, but, the film is as sputtery as an old car on the fritz, failing to update its cinematic lineage in any conceivably positive way.
  13. There is so much that could have been done with the film’s plot and twists, but it’s never confident enough in what the story has to offer to lean into any of what might have made it thrilling.
  14. Alarum fails on all counts, and the few positives aren't successful in bringing the movie out of the gutter.
  15. True crime buffs could find something here, but they might be better off reading the novel it's based on. Susan Smith's story deserved to be told, but there had to have been a better way to do it.
  16. It's underdeveloped and underwhelming, with clunky pacing and choppy scene transitions. What could've been a thoughtful, engrossing story unfortunately fails in every way imaginable.
  17. Taurus plays like a personal project, but that doesn’t make it good. However, Baker should take pride in knowing he has a future in acting; he just needs to pick better projects.

    Larry Fessenden's Blackout is a frustrating bouillabaisse of two completely different movies that happen to be playing at the same time.
  18. Its endless, unfunny humor is tiresome and obnoxious, the commentary is short-lived, and jokes related to Sam’s unpreparedness are repetitive.
  19. The Colony utterly fails as a thriller, and, much like the environment the main character finds herself in, is mostly a slog.
  20. Overly reliant on tropes that have been done to death, Reminiscence emerges as an inert ghost of the past with no innate value or meaning.
  21. The film is unsure if wants to be a portrait of a man on the verge, a slasher, or a psychological chamber piece, and it ultimately fails to live up to any of these ideas.
  22. Ultimately, there are few filmmakers whose work I admire more for its sophistication and undeniable humanity than that of Brooks, but this film isn’t just bad — it’s unbearable.
  23. Unpredictability being its lone strength, We Need To Do Something is an uneven survival horror that gets caught up in its own pretentious trappings.
  24. Nearly everything Ritchson and James do in the name of comedy is forced and untethered from reality. Then again, so is the movie, so at least it's consistent.
  25. The result is an incoherent, messy, and disappointing movie.
  26. Ultimately, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is neither a believable nor an entertaining film.
  27. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Peas and Carrots is amateur on almost every front, and whatever it has to say about finding one's proper role in society is hidden inside some utterly confounding plot devices.
  28. Damsel is a lifeless experience. The filmmakers have assembled all the constituent parts of an interesting fantasy adventure film — genre-bending premise, a starry cast, locations with character, and some creative creature design — but the connective tissue is paper-thin.
