2002 movie reviews
  1. In the end, Samaritan commits a cardinal sin of the superhero genre: It thinks a high-profile actor with vaguely defined superpowers is enough to make the film interesting when it clearly needs something more.
  2. There are some things that Into the Deep does well, but it is ultimately too slight to really commit to any of its interesting ideas. By the time the violence between the three characters ends, one just wishes their conflict had included a bit more flair.
  3. Though leading lady Lili Reinhart does her best, Look Both Ways struggles to make a lasting impact with either of its dueling timelines.
  4. Summering is a slow and ultimately boring mystery that does little to portray youth in a meaningful way.
  5. With predictable twists and one grating character, the Lionsgate movie tries to do something different from others like it, but it can't quite reach the heights that its main characters aren't (and should be) afraid of.
  6. With nothing of substance to chew on, the only thing a (committed) viewer can do is strap in for the 90-minute runtime and wait to hear a tune they like - and hope that, once it's over, they emerge earworm-free.
  7. With stuntman J.J. Perry behind the camera, Day Shift is a killer upgrade to vampire lore and a damn good time.
  8. Aided by an excellent young cast, Secret Headquarters is a fun adventure for all ages, even if certain elements feel superficial in the end.
  9. Easter Sunday starts off well enough before getting off track completely, too preoccupied with aspects of the story that aren't good and don’t matter, sacrificing its characters and their relationships with each other as a result.
  10. They/Them is impactful for its reason for existing and the excellent ensemble cast that deserves to shine. The film is not unwatchable; it is merely without excitement. Satisfying as it is for the film to directly take aim at dangerous institutions, there is sadness in knowing this horror couldn't find a happy middle.
  11. All one can hope to get is a colorful and exciting adventure that allows the characters’ personalities to shine. Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie succeeds in that regard.
  12. Wedding Season may appear to be another Hallmark-esque romantic comedy from Netflix, but it is actually a delightful endeavor that will warm the hearts of its viewers.
  13. Whitebloom struggles to bring the excitement into his heist film, Stowaway, his feature debut, like he’s done in past music videos.
  14. Luck may not reinvent the wheel — at this point, what can? — but it does what films like this do best, bringing forth a message about family and perseverance with humor, heart, and a lot of magic.
  15. Ultimately, Bullet Train is one of the most entertaining and flashy films of 2022, thanks to lively performances, incredible fight setups, stylish cinematography, and punchy writing.
  16. There is a great deal of cringe comedy in Not Okay and the actors all pull it off well. Shephard's social media black comedy is an entertaining film that may leave audiences thinking about their own relationship to social media.
  17. All told, Thirteen Lives is a solid and compelling watch that stands as a testament to people's resilient spirits.
  18. It is easy to see the potential in the first act, but Purple Hearts leans too much into over-sentimentality, with narrative tricks designed to trigger tears and subdue thinking.
  19. Sharp Stick is charming thanks to great performances, but the lopsided script doesn’t reach its full potential.
  20. The movie asks a lot of questions and juggles a lot of ideas, most of them good, but key pieces don't stick their landing - undermining the overall impact of what Novak, clearly, intends to say. A missed opportunity, given that "finding your voice" is one idea that Vengeance spends a lot of time exploring.
  21. What A Love Song lacks in execution it more than makes up for in stellar performances and beautifully directed scenes.
  22. Johnson and Hart have proved a formidable movie duo in the past, but without their usual on-screen charm, it's tough to get invested in the stories of Krypto and Ace. Even with their star-power and a slew of talented performers making up the supporting cast, DC League of Super-Pets doesn't offer much.

    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.
  23. 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.
  24. It's an absurd and stunning story, but it also holds such heart and authenticity that it feels deeply relatable.
  25. Anything is Possible is great for what it is, but its potential is even greater.
  26. With so many people and life going back to some semblance of normalcy, Alone Together may feel slightly too late, but Holmes' film offers something worth engaging with.
  27. Nope, Jordan Peele's movie about a bad miracle, offers a thrilling and humorous twist on Hollywood sci-fi - and serves as a love letter to filmmaking.
  28. The sense of timelessness and the sanctuary (itself a bubble made to burst) add a listlessness to the film that only underscores the constant shifting of the family's foundation. Glasshouse may build to a climax that many can see coming, but that's beside the point. The conclusion plays off what has come before it, feeling like a memory that could have easily been forgotten.
  29. Between the Russos behind the camera and the talent in front of it, The Gray Man is a fun and exciting action thriller. It may be in the vein of cheesy 80s and 90s action movies, but that makes The Gray Man all the more entertaining and rewatchable.
