Movies (2002-2000)
2002 |
||||||
LOTR: The Two Towers
Same exact feelings as the first one, maybe just a tad better. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maid In Manhattan
Same formula as Pretty Woman. Cute. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Die Another Day
A jolly good time, despite a weak opening sequence. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Femme Fatale
A little bit of thrill. A little bit of erotism. A little bit of this. A little bit of that. Just a little bit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Abandon
No surprises and often slow, yet we kinda enjoyed it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
The Transporter
A gem in the action genre. Some of the best (and funniest) fight scenes I've seen in a very long time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Sweet Home Alabama
Predictable and a little slow at times. Yet enjoyable and sweet. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever
Quite different from what the trailers led to believe. We liked it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Signs
Good signs. Bad aliens. M. Night Shyamalan rules. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Reign of Fire
Lit my fire. Quite entertaining. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Men In Black II
Major case of déjà vu, but still entertaining. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Minority Report
By far the best Spielberg movie I've ever seen. A masterpiece in the futuristic thriller genre. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Scooby Doo
Scooby don't, unless you're under 10 years old. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
The Bourne Identity
Well paced and very entertaining. A solid blend of suspense and action. Demon turns out to be pretty good Jason Bourne. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Sum Of All Fears
Well paced and very entertaining. A solid blend of suspense and action. Affleck turns out to be pretty good as young Jack Ryan. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Star Wars: Episode
II
Attack of the Clowns. The piecemeal plot wasn't helped by the bad acting. Enough said. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Spider-Man
Spidey fans will enjoy this movie as it follows the comic book story to the letter. Quite entertaining overall, but it was definitely no X-Men. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
The Scorpion King
Action galore, no surprises but well worth the ride, which is quite impressive considering the relatively low budget. The Rock has potential. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Panic Room
The best thriller I've seen in a long, long time. This is what happens when you combine a good story with some great actors and one hell of a director. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Collateral
Damage
Arnie's back in the saddle. Lots of action and a clever storyline. What else can you ask for? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
2001 |
||||||
The
Lords Of The Rings
I just wasn't enticed by the movie. The special effects were good, but weren't anything I hadn't seen before. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Spy Game
Just the right blend of action and suspense. Redford has played similar characters before, but he's really good at it. Pitt held his own. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
The One
Jet Li showing is range in a dual role, as both the hero and villain. As usual, the futuristic fight scenes were superbly executed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
American Pie 2
A very worthy sequel which doesn't repeat any of the first installment's gags and still manages to be hilarious at times. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Planet Of The Apes
Extremely well-paced fun, and thankfully, none of the perpetual cheesy moral dilemmas that made the original such a bore. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
The Score
Even good acting could not help a predictable storyline coupled with a few lame action scenes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Kiss Of The Dragon
Jet Li reprises the same type of role as in Romeo Must Die. Less humor, more action. Works for me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Swordfish
Travolta is quite a likable bad guy. Some great (and unexpected) action sequences made for a pretty good ride. Halle Berry pointlessly flashes early on but was, reportedly, well compensated for her valiant showing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
The Mummy Returns
I think I liked it better than the first one. Funnier and much more sustained. The Rock's role is nothing more than what is shown in the trailers. I wouldn't change career quite yet, Rocky. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Exit Wounds
Nobody kicks ass like Seagal does. DMX delivers a pretty good performance too. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Get Over It
Simply forgot to bring it on. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Head Over Heels
No surprises, just cute and funny. |
