| THE
SALTON SEA
(DJ Caruso, 2002, USA) |
 |
A
mess. Is this a comedy or a hard drama? Sometimes
too stupid, sometime too dramatic. Make a
decision, please, because you can't have both
things. |

| SECRETARY
(Steven
Shainberg, 2002, USA) |
|
| |
|
SEX
& LUCIA
(Julio Medem, 2000, Spain)
Along with Almodovar, Julio
Medem is the most interesting director coming from
Spain. |
|
| |
|
SIGNS
(M. Night Shymalan, 2002, USA)
Good entertaining horror film
but with a disappointing ending. |
|
| |
|
SIMONE
(Andrew Niccol, 2002, USA)
An original idea and good criticism
but the movie is too long for a simple joke. |
|
| |
|
| SOLARIS
(Steven Soderbergh, 2002, USA) |
 |
I
haven't watched the original one so I can't
compare them. The only thing I can say is
that it intrigued me and I loved the haunting
music and beautiful cinematography. |

|
| SON
OF THE BRIDE
(Juan Jose Campanella, 2001, Argentina) |
 |
The
Juan Jose Campanella film has Argentina written
all over it: the psychological characters,
the mordant dialogues and the dumb but funny
jokes. If there's something wrong with Son
of the Bride is that it tries too much
to be emotive and, in some moments, it ends
up being cheesy. |

| THE
SON'S ROOM
(Nanni Moretti, 2000, Italy) |
|
| |
|
| THE
SUM OF ALL FEARS
(Phil Alden Robinson, 2002, USA) |
|
| |
|
| SPIDER
(David
Cronenberg, 2002, Canada) |
|
| |
|
| SPIDER
MAN
(Sam Raimi, 2002, USA) |
 |
Spider Man is no different from other
films: it doesn't add anything new or entertaining
to the action scenes, the villain is, somehow,
boring and the loser-becomes-hero story has
been done a million times before. |
|
|
| |
|
SPIRITED
AWAY
(Hayao Miyazaki, 2001, Japan)
These movies are the one that
actually remind me why I love cinema that much. |

| TALK
TO HER
(Pedro Almodovar, 2002, Spain) |

|
| THIRTEEN
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ONE THING
(Jill Sprecher, 2002, USA) |
|
| |
|
| UNFAITHFUL
(Adrian
Lyne, 2002, USA) |
|
| |
|
| THE
WEIGHT OF WATER
(Kathryn Bigelow, 2000, USA, Canada) |
|
| |
|
| WELCOME
TO COLLINWOOD
(Anthony & Joe Russo, 2002, USA) |
 |
Did we actually need an exact remake of this
movie? No, but I liked the movie thanks to
its likable characters. |
|
|
| |
|
| WHITE
OLEANDER
(Peter Kosminsky, 2002, USA) |
|
| |
|
XXX
(Rob
Cohen, 2002, USA)
One thing: I watched this thing
because they were playing it at a friend's house. |
|
| |
|
| Y
TU MAMA TAMBIEN
(Alfonso Cuaron, 2001, Mexico) |
 |
Overrated. It's just a movie about two horny
teenagers that has some social criticisms
in the back to give the film some strength.
