	"A gift to anyone who loves both dance and cinema" Posted Feb 3, 2003	Nijinsky: The Diaries of Vaslav Nijinsky (2002)	60%
	"Even if Invincible is not quite the career peak that The Pianist is for Roman Polanski, it demonstrates that Werner Herzog can still leave us with a sense of wonder at the diverse, marvelously twisted shapes history has taken." Posted Feb 3, 2003	Invincible (2002)	53%
	"Darkness Falls is a sorrowful testament to just how little in the way of talent, thought or even concept is needed for a movie to get made these days." Posted Feb 3, 2003	Darkness Falls (2003)	8%
	"It skillfully accomplishes the horror genre's most basic goal: scaring the hell out of you." Posted Feb 3, 2003	Final Destination 2 (2003)	46%
	"The most beguiling amalgamation yet of Almod�var's pet themes." Posted Feb 3, 2003	Talk to Her (2002)	92%
	"Every single scene conveys a significant and concise narrative development, yet does so in an unassuming, patient fashion that emphasizes detail." Posted Jan 23, 2003	Orphan of Anyang (2002)	75%
	"*The evil twin of A Beautiful Mind:* take out the false life-affirming tone and moral clarity from Howard's movie, add some nasty humour and you get box-office poison.*" Posted Jan 23, 2003*	Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002)	78%
	"The stupid title alone reeks of an astonishing level of laziness on the part of the film's creative team." Posted Jan 19, 2003	Analyze That (2002)	27%
	"Attal's hang-ups surrounding infidelity are so old-fashioned and, dare I say, outdated, it's a wonder that he couldn't have brought something fresher to the proceedings simply by accident." Posted Jan 19, 2003	My Wife is an Actress (2002)	65%
	"For attaining a sense of sheer, unadulterated awe, it's difficult to imagine many films that could satisfy cinemagoers quite as resoundingly as Peter Jackson's mammoth adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy." Posted Jan 19, 2003	The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)	96%
	"Instead of contriving a climactic hero's death for the beloved-major- character-who-shall- remain-nameless, why not invite some genuine spontaneity into the film by having the evil aliens' laser guns actually hit something for once?" Posted Jan 19, 2003	Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)	36%
	"It brings a brute freshness to the Hollywood epic and confirms Scorsese's abilities as a master storyteller, a director capable of managing both scale and precision, spectacle and depth." Posted Jan 19, 2003	Gangs of New York (2002)	76%
	"Despite the grand drama inherent in its narrative, the film pulls back from investing much energy into imparting upon us the gravity of what we are watching." Posted Jan 19, 2003	Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)	88%
	"The film glides through its well-structured script, letting the audience coast along with it and allowing the performers to stay loose and limber. And that's what's wonderful about Catch Me If You Can�it's a chase picture that's all about the perfo" Posted Jan 19, 2003	Catch Me If You Can (2002)	96%
	"Antwone Fisher certainly does the trick of making us care about its protagonist and celebrate his victories but, with few exceptions, it rarely stoops to cheap manipulation or corny conventions to do it." Posted Jan 19, 2003	Antwone Fisher (2002)	80%
	"*Where Moulin Rouge* was all cinema trickery and no guts, Rob Marshall has found a perfect balance of the two. Chicago is absolutely visceral.*" Posted Jan 19, 2003*	Chicago (2002)	87%
	"Payne pokes fun of these people and these places because they're what he knows best. And, to my eye, he's also not above finding redeeming virtues in every last one of them." Posted Jan 19, 2003	About Schmidt (2002)	85%
	"Perhaps Tarr's greatest gift is his merciless sense of cinematic economy and an ambiguity that springs not from some intellectual conceit but from the sheer honesty of his gaze." Posted Jan 19, 2003	Werckmeister Harmonies (2001)	96%
	"Try as you might to scrutinize the ethics of Kaufman's approach, somehow it all comes together to create a very compelling, sensitive, intelligent and almost cohesive piece of film entertainment." Posted Jan 19, 2003	Adaptation (2002)	90%
	"Pumpkin is a movie that resists categorization, that manages wit, intelligence, audacity and pointed social commentary while still entertaining us with a terrifically bizarre combination of soapy, ultra-stylized satire and blackly comic fairytale." Posted Jan 19, 2003	Pumpkin (2002)	39%
	"Narc may not be an exceptional cop film but it is a solid one, a tragedy of pervasive corruption in which honour is no more beneficial than deceit." Posted Jan 19, 2003	Narc (2002)	83%
	"If you really want to understand what this story is really all about, you're far better served by the source material." Posted Jan 19, 2003	The Hours (2002)	80%
	"One of those movies that assumes we�re all quite comfortable rooting for hitmen, thieves and dope peddlers (corrupt cops, on the other hand, are the scum of the earth)." Posted Oct 17, 2002	Formula 51 (2002)	27%
	"A well-made but centreless horror show." Posted Oct 10, 2002	Red Dragon (2002)	68%
	"The thought of watching this film with an audience full of teenagers fixating on its body humour and reinforcement of stereotypes (of which they�ll get plenty) fills me with revulsion." Posted Oct 10, 2002	The Rules of Attraction (2002)	43%
	"*While certainly no revelation, Knockaround Guys* isn�t anywhere near as lousy as the hype would have you believe.*" Posted Oct 10, 2002*	Knockaround Guys (2002)	18%
	"A sly blend of Douglas Sirk melodrama and Jacques Demy musical; a playfully reconfigured crackerjack murder mystery as thoroughly engrossing as it is lovingly contrived." Posted Oct 10, 2002	8 Women (2002)	77%
	"Rohmer's novel, exhilarating and elegant work with painted scenery and digital equipment is a revelation. But this work is stuck in a film in which the foreground action is sleep-inducing by comparison." Posted Oct 3, 2002	The Lady and the Duke (2002)	71%
	"It's actually kinda scary. Scary in a really, really dumb way, but scary!" Posted Oct 1, 2002	Eight Legged Freaks (2002)	47%
	"Scorsese at his best makes gangster films that are equally lovely but also relentlessly brutal and brutally intelligent; Perdition, meanwhile, reads more like Driving Miss Daisy than GoodFellas." Posted Oct 1, 2002	Road to Perdition (2002)	82%
	"K-19 exploits our substantial collective fear of nuclear holocaust to generate cheap Hollywood tension." Posted Sep 30, 2002	K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)	60%
	"Transcends the 'chick flick' label with a touch so light and smart it never has to bother trying to win over your sympathies to either sex." Posted Sep 30, 2002	Lovely & Amazing (2002)	85%
	"Myers never knows when to let a gag die; thus, we�re subjected to one mind-numbingly lengthy riff on poo and pee jokes after another." Posted Sep 30, 2002	Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)	55%
	"Just about the surest bet for an all-around good time at the movies this summer." Posted Sep 30, 2002	Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams (2002)	75%
	"Shyamalan�s got to be the best Hollywood suspense director since Brian de Palma." Posted Sep 30, 2002	Signs (2002)	74%
	"*Eastwood doesn�t do much to spice up Blood Work,* but you can�t fault his sturdy filmmaking style any more than you could a plumber who stops your pipes from leaking.*" Posted Sep 30, 2002*	Blood Work (2002)	56%
	"*It all sounds absurd, but in its best moments, XXX* is infused with an authority that�s rare in action movies.*" Posted Sep 30, 2002*	XXX (2002)	47%
	"Neil LaBute�s most mature movie yet, the work of a moralist coming to terms with a world of blurred morals." Posted Sep 30, 2002	Possession (2002)	64%
	"*What happened with Pluto Nash? How did it ever get made?" Posted Sep 30, 2002*	The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)	6%
	"It�s inoffensive, cheerful, built to inspire the young people, set to an unending soundtrack of beach party pop numbers and aside from its remarkable camerawork and awesome scenery, it�s about as exciting as a sunburn." Posted Sep 30, 2002	Blue Crush (2002)	62%
	"Something in this film sticks to you more than you think it will while you�re watching it. And I think that something is the superb, jarringly resonant central performance by Jennifer Aniston." Posted Sep 30, 2002	The Good Girl (2002)	81%
	"One Hour Photo may seem disappointing in its generalities, but it�s the little nuances that perhaps had to escape from director Mark Romanek�s self-conscious scrutiny to happen, that finally get under your skin." Posted Sep 30, 2002	One Hour Photo (2002)	81%
	"Writer/director Walter Hill is in his hypermasculine element here, once again able to inject some real vitality and even art into a pulpy concept that, in many other hands would be completely forgettable." Posted Sep 30, 2002	Undisputed (2002)	47%
	"It isn�t that Stealing Harvard is a horrible movie�if only it were that grand a failure! It�s just that it�s so not-at-all-good. And I expect much more from a talent as outstanding as director Bruce McCulloch." Posted Sep 30, 2002	Stealing Harvard (2002)	8%
	"For me, acting rarely makes or breaks a movie, but there�s so much heart invested in the characters at the centre of this film that I found myself captivated, for just a while, by the troubles of those people up on the screen." Posted Sep 30, 2002	City by the Sea (2002)	48%
	"One of the dumbest, least entertaining films I�ve seen this year." Posted Sep 30, 2002	Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)	0%
	"*Like a carefully shaped gem with an unmistakable flaw in its centre, The Four Feathers* can�t help but seem compromised in every way no matter what angle you view it from.*" Posted Sep 30, 2002*	The Four Feathers (2002)	42%
	"*Taken as a whole, The Tuxedo* doesn�t add up to a whole lot.*" Posted Sep 30, 2002*	The Tuxedo (2002)	22%
