LE
FILS
(Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, 2002,
Belgium)
Watch this film without knowing
anything, otherwise half of the film will be spoiled. |

| |
 |
| FINDING
NEMO
(Andrew Stanton, 2003, USA) |
 |
An
excellent comedy, a really good family film
and a fascinating animated feature. Finding
Nemo has one of the best cast of characters
in a comedy ever. |
|
|
| |
|
THE
FLOWER OF EVIL
(Claude Chabrol, 2003, France)
An irrelevant movie.
|
|
| |
|
| GIRL
WITH A PEARL EARRING
(Peter Webber, 2003, UK) |
|
| |
|
| THE
GOOD THIEF
(Neil Jordan, 2003, France, UK) |
|
| |
|
| HE
LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT
(Laetitia Colombani, 2002, France) |
 |
A
pleasant entertainment. The best way to watch
this movie is knowing nothing about it but
it's inevitable even the promoters of the
film spoil the main twist. |

HOUSE
OF SAND AND FOG
(Vadim Perelman, 2003, USA)
This is what Changing Lanes
should have been. A somehow average direction but
a good film after all. |
|
| |
|
| THE
HULK
(Ang Lee, 2003, USA) |
|
| |
 |
| IDENTITY
(James Mangold, 2003, USA) |
 |
Yes,
I know, three and a half stars is too much.
But even though it's really idiotic, it also
really entertained me. And I have to admit
that I also liked the main twist (not the
second one which is more ridiculous). Guilty
pleasure of the year.
(Comment: even though I gave Identity
three and a half stars, this doesn't mean
the movie is at the same level as other films
with the same rating, or even lower) |

| |
|
| IN
AMERICA
(Jim Sheridan, 2002, Ireland, UK) |
 |
Sometimes
manipulative and unnerving and sometimes really
sweet and charming, In America is the
happiest sad story and the most magical realistic
film of this year. |
|
|
| |
|
| IN
THE CUT
(Jane Campion, 2003, Australia, USA,
UK) |
 |
Not
as bad as they say it is, the problem was
presenting this movie as a thriller when the
most interesting part is the sexual exploration
of mature women. Excellent editing and cinematography. |
|
|
| |
|
| INTOLERABLE
CRUELTY
(Joel Coen, 2003, USA) |
|
| |
|
| IRREVERSIBLE
(Gaspar Noe, 2003, France) |
 |
Not
recommended at all, I don't even want to see
this again. Still, it is one of the most powerful
films I've seen. I know that those two infamous
scenes are really hard to swallow but, believe
me, the movie is more than that. |

|
| JAPANESE
STORY
(Sue Brooks, 2003, Australia) |
|
| |
|
| KILL
BILL VOL. 1
(Quentin Tarantino, 2003, USA) |
 |
So,
it's a B-Movie. Right, I got the joke. Still,
it's a B Movie. Too long considering you know
how's going to end (at least, she's not going
to die in the first installment) and considering
there's a sequel coming. |

|
| THE
LAST SAMURAI
(Edward Zwick, 2003, USA) |
|
| |
|
| THE
LIFE OF DAVID GALE
(Alan Parker, 2003, USA) |
|
| |
|
| LORD
OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING
(Peter Jackson, 2003, USA, New Zealand) |
 |
There were moments when I wanted to hate this
movie: the battles were too long, there were
some clichéd moments and the movie seemed
endless. But… how can I hate this brilliant
work with all those breathtaking set designs
that make me experience an unbelievable cinematic
experience. |

| |
|
| LOST
IN TRANSLATION
(Sofia Coppola, 2003, USA) |
|
| |
|
| LOVE
ACTUALLY
(Richard Curtis, 2003, UK) |
 |
Some stories are interesting and funny (like
the body doubles and the Portuguese maid)
but some of them are really stupid (like the
guy who wants to go to America). Filled with
clichés and sappy dialogues, the movie is
still a good entertainment. It seems that
Richard Curtis is the only one who can make
decent romantic movies, nowadays. |
