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. |

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

     |
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

CONFESSIONS

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. |
