3/4	" There are as many misses as hits, but ultimately, it finds humor in the foibles of human behavior, and it's a welcome return to the roots of a genre that should depend on surprises." Posted May 17, 2002	Crush (2002)	34%
2/4	This film is only scary if you're afraid of artfully self-conscious, grainy cinematography. Posted May 10, 2002	Wendigo (2002)	58%
3/4	" It's pretty linear and only makeup-deep, but Bogdanovich ties it together with efficiency and an affection for the period." Posted May 3, 2002	The Cat's Meow (2002)	72%
2/4	Crudup's screen presence is the one thing that holds interest in the midst of a mushy, existential exploration of why men leave their families. Posted Apr 26, 2002	World Traveler (2002)	35%
3/4	A bittersweet world, and it's frankly one to which we've been before, but seldom do we see it rendered with such exquisite, if pained, craftsmanship. Posted Apr 5, 2002	Dark Blue World (2001)	62%
3/4	The film's snags and stumblings are more than compensated for by its wryly subversive tone. Posted Apr 5, 2002	Waydowntown (2002)	70%
3/4	Petersen and van der Groen play affectingly against each other in this geriatric heartwarmer. Posted Mar 29, 2002	Pauline and Paulette (2002)	83%
3/4	" A welcome relief from baseball movies that try too hard to be mythic, this one is a sweet and modest and ultimately winning story." Posted Mar 29, 2002	The Rookie (2002)	82%
2/4	" Foster usually makes intelligent choices, but, time and again, one wonders what she could have seen in David Koepp's script, which ranges from flimsy to nonexistent." Posted Mar 29, 2002	Panic Room (2002)	77%
3.5/4	" It's impressionistic and risks incoherence, but it works as a successful montage of the unruly life of a sensitive, talented, but conflicted man whose self-destructiveness it never tries to sugarcoat or deny." Posted Mar 22, 2002	Pi�ero (2001)	45%
4/4	" Now as then, it's a big pop myth that combines affirmation and lyricism with surprising potency." Posted Mar 22, 2002	E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial The 20th Anniversary (2002)	98%
2.5/4	" Plays out with a dogged and eventually winning squareness that would make it the darling of many a kids-and-family-oriented cable channel." Posted Mar 22, 2002	Stolen Summer (2002)	34%
3/4	" *It has taken 20th Century Fox a while to land on the animation scoreboard. Now it has. Ice Age* is the coolest animation in town.*" Posted Mar 15, 2002*	Ice Age (2002)	77%
3.5/4	" There's been no richer cinematic tapestry of humanity so far this year." Posted Mar 8, 2002	Last Orders (2002)	78%
3.5/4	" Cinematic home cooking at its most savory." Posted Mar 8, 2002	Monsoon Wedding (2002)	94%
2/4	" The truth is that Wells wasn't that penetrating a writer when it came to probing character or the human heart. His speculations and gimmicks were what propelled his books. The film, given the chance to deepen its source, instead falls back on its gadgets." Posted Mar 8, 2002	The Time Machine (2002)	28%
2/4	Earnest yet curiously tepid and choppy recycling in which predictability is the only winner. Posted Mar 1, 2002	Mean Machine (2002)	35%
3/4	*As in Black Hawk Down, the combat sequences are filmed with great skill and pulse-pounding immediacy.* Posted Mar 1, 2002	We Were Soldiers (2002)	63%
2/4	A one-joke sex comedy that seems to go on about 38 days and 38 nights too long. Posted Mar 1, 2002	40 Days and 40 Nights (2002)	38%
1.5/4	Scotland, PA. blurs the line between black comedy and black hole. Posted Feb 26, 2002	Scotland, PA (2002)	59%
2.5/4	" If Oscars were dished out for tin ears, screenwriters David Seltzer, Brandon Camp, and Mike Thompson would be in the running." Posted Feb 22, 2002	Dragonfly (2002)	7%
2/4	Queen of the Damned degenerates into a lot of dull declaiming and attitudinizing, despite a sly tongue -in-cheek quality brought by a preening Stuart Townsend to the Lestat role he inherited from the utterly humorless Tom Cruise. Posted Feb 22, 2002	The Queen of the Damned (2002)	14%
3.5/4	" Iris glows with rightness and convinces us we're sharing its characters' understanding that when the books and the memory go, love can remain." Posted Feb 15, 2002	Iris (2001)	79%
3/4	" The best thing Marc Forster's direction does is take these characters through their experiences at a convincingly naturalistic respiratory rate..." Posted Feb 8, 2002	Monster's Ball (2001)	86%
1.5/4	It had a chance to improve upon the crude and stupid 1975 original, set in a future America. Instead, it's only cruder and stupider. Posted Feb 8, 2002	Rollerball (2002)	4%
	" *Where there's dumb and dumber, there's invariably dumbest, a case in point being Big Fat Liar." Posted Feb 8, 2002*	Big Fat Liar (2002)	44%
	" Who'd have thought one could fall in love with a Dogme 95 film? But I have, and this is it. Skoal and bellissima!" Posted Feb 1, 2002	Italian for Beginners (2002)	88%
2.5/4	" *Penn and Pfeiffer carry I Am Sam* further into plausibility than it has any right to expect.*" Posted Jan 25, 2002*	I Am Sam (2002)	34%
3.5/4	" The film is as dense as its namesake, and it reminds us how few contemporary thrillers are adult." Posted Jan 25, 2002	Lantana (2001)	91%
	Despite all the hard work by an army of craftsmen working on location in Morocco, the film takes the easy way out, subsiding into a thing of technical challenges met rather than attempting to probe the events at a deeper level. Posted Jan 18, 2002	Black Hawk Down (2001)	75%
2/4	" It's that most unfortunate of commodities, a thing of muffled usualness, virtually generic." Posted Jan 11, 2002	Charlotte Gray (2001)	32%
