REVIEWS:
DECEMBER
Short 6
Recommend you rename this compilation of short films “Short 4” and skip the last two.
The Yards
Reality-based tale of corruption and relative morality in New York’s subway maintenance yards.
Joy Ride
Two brothers get on the wrong side of a faceless trucker in this fairly preposterous yet well-paced suspense thriller.
Original Sin (Poison)
Any discernable plot in this forgettable bodice-ripper is there for the purpose of getting Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie buck-naked as often as possible.
Heavy Metal 2000: FAKK2
Story about intergalactic, heavily armed amazon with enormous, gravity-defying breasts will delight adolescents of all ages.
Anniversary Party
Outstanding ensemble piece directed by Alan Cumming and Jennifer Jason Leigh is the ultimate Hollywood insider party gone awry.
NOVEMBER
Home Sweet Hoboke
Only occasionally amusing English-language effort by an overconfident Yoshifumi Hosoya shows that Japanese directors sometimes just don’t get it.
Evolution
Disappointing and somewhat inane comic effort from Ivan Reitman about alien microorganisms that threaten to take over the world by out-evolving us.
The Crew
Cobbled-together codger comedy about four retired wizened guys commits the ultimate crime of not being funny.
Swordfish
Gimmicky escapist entertainment has John Travolta as a jovially sinister super crook. 
Memento
Enthralling, original mystery, told in reverse, of a man with no short-term memory seeking his wife’s killer
Nora
Beautiful and intelligent period piece about James Joyce and his muse/lover Nora Barnacle.
OCTOBER
Impostor
Intriguing Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner, Total Recall) sci-fi story about a guy who could be a bomb-implanted android. Or not.
Sweet November
Absolutely horrid romantic tearjerker starring Keanu Reeves.
Bruiser
Gimmicky, kind of dumb parable from George Romero about a man who literally loses face.
Chill Factor
Cookie-cutter thriller for adolescents.
Someone Like You
Formulaic romantic comedy stars Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackman.
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Odyssey-based, rambunctious bit of fun from the Coen Brothers.
Training Day
Rookie cop Ethan Hawke tries out for elite narc squad headed by Denzel Washington and learns far more than he bargained for.
SEPTEMBER
Glitter
Excruciatingly awful hour and 42 minutes of fingernails on a blackboard stars Mariah Carey as a pop star.
Small time crooks
Woody Allen bumbling-burglar flick is worth seeing, but disappointing for fans of the director.
Schizopolis
Steven Soderbergh getting a lot of fanciful film-school stuff out of his system.
Fast and Furious
High-octane adrenaline rush of a popcorn movie keeps you from noticing that it has no real plot.
Loser
Fair effort by Amy Heckerling (Clueless, Look Who’s Talking) is above average for the well-trodden teen-romantic-comedy slot.
A Knight’s Tale
Insultingly stupid application of the tired sports movie formula to medieval jousting.
Tigerland
Darkly atmospheric, Vietnam-era anti-war flick never gets out of boot camp and gives a definite nod to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
Tomb Raider
Angelina Jolie is more action figure than actor in this loud, occasionally coherent SFX romp.
Dracula 2000
Plodding, uninspired and suspense-free jumble of tawdry Christian symbolism.
Get Real
Intelligent coming-of-age-and-gay flick is rewarding for all but the most rabid homophobes.
AUGUST
The Luzhin Defence Character-driven film about chess and obsession from Nabokov novel stars John Turturro and Emily Watson.
Kiss of the Dragon
Superb martial arts sequences overcome hackneyed plot to make this Jet Li flick a must for chop-socky fans.
Ghost World 
Engrossing and a constant chuckle filled with subversive humor
Beyond the Mat
A fascinating, at times even hypnotic look at what makes pro wrestlers tick 
Save the Last Dance
White ballerina gets some life as well as hip-hop pointers from cool black guy in above-average teen flick.
JULY
Exit Wounds
The Great Pissed-Off One's umpteenth remake of his "maverick" cop flick is even more violent and brutal than usual. 
Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey
Fascinating documentary on the creator of that weird instrument you know from "Good Vibrations" and 50s sci-fi flicks.
Jurassic Park III
Plotless, nearly character-free, B-movie thrill ride concentrates on hungry-monster meal-planning and dining.
The Trench
Stereotypical WWI trench warfare drama tells us little other than it was a bitch to be in the trenches in 1916.
JUNE
Bring it On
Family T&A flick about the "sport" of high-school cheerleading competitions.
Planet of the Apes
Outstanding remake (rare enough) by Tim Burton of the 1968 classic offers a fresh story, really scary makeup and plenty of surprises.
Dr Doolittle 2
Creatively bankrupt sequel made solely for under-12, flatulence-appreciating audiences.
Pearl Harbor
In a vicious, unprovoked attack on good taste, this film, which will surely live in cinematic infamy, is boring enough to put a waking giant back to sleep.
Journey of Man
3-D presentation of some of Cirque du Soleil's visual and highly physical magic.
MAY
A.I. Artificial Intelligence
Pinocchio fable from Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg has to do with a boy-robot that is able to love.
The Mummy Returns
Big, loud, ridiculous, SFX-laden sequel is creatively empty eye candy.
