2002 movie reviews
  1. As much as it might omit details important to the wider historical context, The Penguin Lessons confidently engages with its intended topics, and creates something beautiful and emotional.
  2. While Meet Cute In Manhattan falls a little flat at times, and has lines that occasionally veer from homage to cheese, overall, it's a beautifully smart, sweet rom-com that does exactly what it sets out to do. The meta commentary and humor is a highlight throughout, but if I had to pick one best element, it would be how Jason is written.
  3. It's gripping and effective but doesn't have anything new to say.
  4. It's a mindless good time.

    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.
  5. As a longtime fan of the franchise, it is disappointing that we still can’t get a good Hellboy movie from start to finish, and even in comparison to Harbour’s reboot, this one lacks any major style or energy to have it linger in my mind.
  6. Despite lacking the same polish as many other movies the two leads have been in before, it's still a thrilling rollercoaster that offers plenty of twists and turns, making for a generally interesting addition to both actors' careers.
  7. Disney's Snow White is hardly a misfire, with Rachel Zegler shining as the titular princess, but it can't avoid familiar live-action remake problems.
  8. Fans of De Niro and the gangster movie will have fun with this addition to the genre, but they won't find anything new in its well-tread story.
  9. Yet, despite this apathy, there is an emotional core to Friendship, one that made me root for Craig despite all of his shortcomings and unpleasantness.
  10. Though the movie goes by way of Shaun of the Dead and refuses to ever use the z-word, there's no denying that We Bury the Dead is a zombie movie, even if a more scaled-down one than some might come to expect.

    To make it really gel, the film needed to have a stellar performance at its core. For me, Tran fell short.
  11. We're dumped into the action, and the action doesn't even have the courtesy to be good.

    It is better at comedy than it is at horror, but it makes even the mystical scenes laugh-out-loud funny in this thoroughly enjoyable ride.
  12. Ash
    Ash can be horrific and genuinely startling; there’s a specific scene near the end that underscores the apprehension that permeates the film. It’s chilling and memorable. And yet, had the sci-fi thriller given its characters more dimension, it would have been all the stronger.

    The cast of characters ping-ponging around Sofia's mansion and the surrounding neighborhood feel fresh and funny, the movie consistently delivers both thrills and laughs, and there is an absolutely delectable piano scene that I won't soon forget.
  13. While O’Dessa has a lot of style, it doesn’t have much else. Its substance is sorely lacking, with a lot of jumbled ideas and themes that don’t come together.
  14. The film is a compelling moral character study and a breathtaking thriller that steps on the gas and never lets up. It’s a perfect addition to Anvari’s already robust work as a filmmaker.
  15. With its brisk runtime, the film wastes no time and, though it plays into genre tropes often, its premise is enough to make this film a compelling watch. The film ends up being surprisingly emotional thanks to its protagonist, though its lack of characterization of its human counterparts hurts the film's climax just a bit.
  16. It’s a fun B-movie with timely elements and some exciting kills. It may not be much more than that, but sometimes that’s enough.
  17. While Delicious presents plenty of interesting ideas, powerful themes, and compliments it with memorable cinematography, the weak story and characters ultimately drag the film down.
  18. Its entertaining approach to the history it portrays works to make the movie memorable, resulting in a must-see biopic that's perfect for those who want to learn about women's wrestling history.
  19. Its charms grew on me so fast that I couldn't help but love almost everything about it, logic be damned.
  20. Despite the lack of strong characterization across the team, Rule Breakers still provides an uplifting story about women triumphing over their expected social roles on a global scale. It's a heartwarming story that, despite focusing more on its themes than any other aspect, still delivers a memorable tale with roots in real life.
  21. Black Bag is engaging and refreshing precisely because it is so personal, raising the stakes to the highest level without having to be extravagant in its set pieces.
  22. This story alone is gripping enough to warrant further study, but this documentary has very little in the way of actually exploring the case so much as it focuses on the conspiracies surrounding it.
  23. Seven Veils still falls prey to its own expansive focus, making it a compelling yet unsatisfying drama.
  24. Despite its fun concept and novel creature designs, Night of the Zoopocalypse ultimately finds itself weighed down by its lackluster script.

    There are good bones here, but there's just not enough meat on them to make it a satisfying horror movie.
  25. The fashion alone, from design supervisor Stefano De Nardis and the costume team, elevates the film, turning it into an extravagant spectacle.
