24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE (Michael Winterbottom, 2002, UK)
Could anybody be more obnoxious? What a vane essay about music! It could have been interesting but it turned out to be something really annoying and tedious.
 
25TH HOUR (Spike Lee, 2002, USA)
 
8 MILE (Curtis Hanson, 2002, USA)
The movie is no different from other singer's attempt to become a movie star but since Eminem is so overrated then it's no surprise this movie's having better reviews.
 
8 WOMEN (Francois Ozon, 2002, France)
 
ABOUT A BOY (Chris & Paul Weitz, 2002, UK)
 
ABOUT SCHMIDT (Alexander Payne, 2002, USA)
Jack Nicholson is excellent and the relationship between his character and Ndugu is sweet and hilarious.
 
ADAPTATION.(Spike Jonze, 2002, USA)
So Charlie Kaufman writes a movie about Charlie Kaufman; yes, he makes fun of himself but he also makes fun of anyone who disagrees with his tastes. There’s something in the movie that makes you feel that the film itself thinks it’s better than any other movie around.
 
BIRTHDAY GIRL (Jez Butterworth, 2002, UK)
I don’t like when they mix genres. And, unfortunately, this movie does that. But, let’s say that as a romantic comedy, Birthday Girl is different, and sometimes, funny. And, well, let’s ignore it’s also a thriller.
 
EL BOLA (Achero Mañas, 2000, Spain)
 
THE BOURNE IDENTITY (Doug Liman, 2002, USA)
 
BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE (Michael Moore, 2002, USA)
Yes, Michael Moore can be manipulative (the scene where he leaves the little girl's photo is not very nice) but it's always comforting that there's someone in the world that actually thinks like you.
 
BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF (Christophe Gans, 2001, France)
An excellent French production. Some action, some suspense, some history. A good entertainment.
 
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN (Steven Spielberg, 2002, USA)
When you're main characters are not likable (even though the movie tries to be the exact opposite) and the main credits are the best of the movie, then something's not working.
 
CHANGING LANES (Roger Michell, 2002, USA)
 
CHICAGO (Rob Marshall, 2002, USA)
While I find it unfair that this movie is taking all the credit instead of Moulin Rouge!, I also think Chicago has better songs and smarter and mordacious dialogues.
 
CHILDREN OF THE CENTURY (Diane Kurys, 1999, France)
 
CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND (George Clooney, 2002, USA)
 
THE CRIME OF FATHER AMARO (Carlos Carrera, 2002, Mexico)
 
ELLING (Petter Naess, 2001, Norway)
 
DAS EXPERIMENT (Olivier Hirschbiegel, 2001, Germany)
Hollywood should learn from this movie. One of the best thrillers of this new century. The first minutes can seem dull but the last ones are really tensioning.
