| THE
SAFETY OF OBJECTS
(Rose Troche, 2001, USA) |
|
| |
 |
| SCARY
MOVIE 3
(David Zucker, 2003, USA) |
 |
Avoid
it. You can watch the funnier jokes on the
trailer and they’re not that funny either.
Watch a sitcom on TV instead, and save some
money for yourself. |

| SCHOOL
OF ROCK
(Richard Linklater, 2003, USA) |
 |
It
could have easily been your typical (and stupid)
movie of the week about the teacher who reaches
and touches the students. But Richard Linklater’s
clever direction, Mike White’s ironic
screenplay and Jack Black’s histrionic
performance make the film a really funny movie. |

|
| THE
SHAPE OF THINGS
(Neil LaBute, 2003, USA) |
 |
The
film absolutely relies on its ending and this
is not a good thing since the promotion of
the movie reveals that surprising finale.
An interesting movie but with a bad adaptation
from theatre to movie. |

|
| THIRTEEN
(Catherine Hardwicke, 2003, USA) |
 |
Everything
that scares a parent is in Thirteen:
alcohol, drugs, piercings, petty thefts, sex,
disrespect, disobedience, etc. And every possible
reason for that behavior is present in here
too: broken homes, bad role models, permissive
parents, shallow society, etc. And maybe that's
the main problem with the movie: it tries
to give lots of answers and it ends up giving
none. Still, it's a pleasure to watch Evan
Rachel Wood and Holly Hunter. |

|
| THE
TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE
(Sylvain Chomet, 2003, France) |
 |
An
animated movie that can't find its audience.
Some moments are too naïve for adults, and
some others are too sad and melancholic for
children. Triplets of Belleville is
a different experience and alternative from
those average animated movies. |

| VERONICA
GUERIN
(Joel Schumacher, 2003, USA, Ireland,
UK) |
 |
Can
an actress save a movie? No, but watching
Cate Blanchett is always a pleasure. She deserves
much better films because she makes them better. |

| WHALE
RIDER
(Niki Caro, 2002, New Zealand) |
|
| |
|
| X2:
X-MEN UNITED
(Bryan Singer, 2003, USA) |
 |
The
best adventure movie of the year. Lots of
interesting characters and original action
sequences; X-Men 2 has no boring moments
thanks to its clever directing and immediate
editing. |
