2002 movie reviews
  1. Despite some of the struggles with the moral depictions of the figures, the actors behind Scoop's characters are all mesmerizing in their different roles.
  2. The First Omen contains the scary elements from the classics and creative upgrades, resulting in a hit for the horror genre and The Omen franchise.
  3. Laymon expertly crafts a narrative that feels as universal as it is unique. This film embraces a hopeful path, expressing with absolute sincerity that believing in the humanity of others is essential to healing.
  4. Asphalt City might falter at times, but seeing Cross try to adapt to all the things happening to him makes for an interesting watch.
  5. Caleb Landry Jones, who plays the hopeful hero, is brilliant, but the rest of the cast dulls his performance and turns something with promise hollow.

    While The Beautiful Game can often feel like a commercial for an admittedly noble cause, the script and performances deliver a relatable human story of dashed dreams and second chances that reminds us why such charities are vital.

    As each diatribe utilizes ever-more inventive cursing, the movie increasingly feels like a missed opportunity.
  6. The movie is so interested in archeology (the credits dedicate it "to all archeologists, custodians of every end") that it becomes an analogue for the viewing experience. Rohrwacher asks us to interpret La Chimera the way archaeologists interpret fragments of the past.
  7. While there is plenty of fun to be had with the monsters and the buildup towards the final showdown, The New Empire’s story feels forced.
  8. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 shows a better grip on its overall tone and character development than its predecessor.
  9. There are a lot of things that could have gone wrong, but Triplett directs with confidence, bringing style, intrigue, and character depth to a story that will keep you engaged and holding your breath in suspense for what comes next.
  10. It's thanks to this cast that Shirley remains a rousing and emotional tribute to an important figure in American history.
  11. Arcadian may falter in its story details, building some character tension that is never fully fleshed out, but it succeeds in creating a gripping, tense experience that is elevated by its disturbing creatures.
  12. Civil War confronts viewers with the brutality of war and the necessity of objective journalism, but the moments of quiet humanity are its strength.
  13. The film doesn’t always rise to the occasion, and there is some lost potential and a general lack of urgency, but We Were Dangerous’ heart is in the right place, bolstered by a great cast and a strong overall message.
  14. Late Night with the Devil is tremendously fun.
  15. Magpie turns certain tropes into narrative weapons, and it works at every turn, culminating in a finale that will leave you wanting more even as it gives us a tension-fueled conclusion.
  16. The lack of specificity around the situation and the underbaked character development reduces Azrael to being nothing more than a horror with an interesting premise.
  17. While a few of the actors give decent performances, it is not enough to overcome the stilted writing.
  18. Few stones are left unturned in the callbacks to different parts of his career, and those unfamiliar with Shatner's lower-profile roles will get a kick out of seeing him outside his most iconic roles.
  19. Y2K
    The first half is wildly fun, especially as it puts characters in the uncomfortable position of being at a party that goes awry shortly after the countdown. But what starts off as a quirky teen comedy with hints of sci-fi catastrophe turns into a messy romp that loses its intrigue.
  20. Ghostlight bridges the gap between art and reality, blending a poignant narrative that aims to better understand a loved one and the expression of grief.
  21. The dialogue-driven movie is genuinely funny and heartfelt, rarely, if ever, losing its momentum from start to finish. Conners is a confident director, bringing together a story that is personal while touching upon issues women face as they age with grace and care.
  22. The standouts are certainly more on the technical side, with Elisha Christian’s cinematography, Will Bates’ score, and Mohan’s close-ups. Then, there’s Sweeney, who, without a shadow of a doubt, convinced me of her acting skills thanks to what she was able to accomplish through her emotional and physical performance.
  23. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has a lot of potential and a chilling new villain, but too many characters and a slower plot leads to dimmed thrills.
  24. Though the story treads familiar territory and doesn't present a remarkable discovery about human nature, that doesn't leave us any less affected by the journey.
  25. The film certainly delivers on the action set pieces, but it also scales back to lay the groundwork for the story so that the payoff is well worth it. Monkey Man isn’t some basic action thriller; it’s an underdog story about the power of the people.
  26. The movie starts off quickly and provides an in-your-face introduction to the film's intended direction. However, the momentum quickly fizzles out, and the plot begins to meander towards the finish line, taking several unnecessary detours along the way.
  27. A story of family expectations, self-realization, and political altercations, Uproar packs an emotional punch while remaining consistently funny.
  28. Frida expertly captures the essence of how her life and art intertwined throughout the years.
