The Fighting Temptations (2003) 42% 5/10 EDIT “Without its music, The Fighting Temptations would be about half an hour long, and one of the worst films of the year.” – Citysearch Sep 18, 2003 Full Review Hollywood Homicide (2003) 31% 2/10 EDIT “Nothing works -- the comedy is thin at best and the story is an embarrassment of cliches and plot holes.” – Citysearch Jun 12, 2003 Full Review Confidence (2003) 68% 8/10 EDIT “The plot is interesting enough to keep the audience guessing what will happen to whom, but the film's end turns out to be simpler than fans of the genre might have hoped for.” – Citysearch Apr 24, 2003 Full Review Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) 80% 9/10 EDIT “Generally, documentaries aren't known for dramatic moments, yet the tension is palpable as an anxious Bill Paxton sinks two and a half miles to the bottom of the sea.” – Citysearch Apr 10, 2003 Full Review The Guys (2002) 74% 8/10 EDIT “Though not for everyone, The Guys is a somber trip worth taking.” – Citysearch Apr 3, 2003 Full Review Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony (2002) 83% 7/10 EDIT “Seeing Nelson Mandela walk out of prison a free man, backed by a nation in song, is sure to renew your faith in mankind.” – Citysearch Feb 20, 2003 Full Review The Jungle Book 2 (2003) 19% 4/10 EDIT “Attempts to recreate the nostalgic magic of the original film and fails miserably -- it's completely run-of-the-mill.” – Citysearch Feb 13, 2003 Full Review How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) 42% 6/10 EDIT “If reality's your bag, take a pass. But if you're looking for a harmless diversion to get you in the mood for Valentine's Day, this could be the ticket.” – Citysearch Feb 6, 2003 Full Review The Guru (2002) 57% 7/10 EDIT “Fluffy yet entertaining.” – Citysearch Jan 30, 2003 Full Review Kangaroo Jack (2003) 9% 7/10 EDIT “The film has a lively bounce, brisk pacing and a sense of humor that younger viewers can appreciate.” – Citysearch Jan 16, 2003 Full Review The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002) 80% 7/10 EDIT “All but the most persnickety preteens should enjoy this nonthreatening but thrilling adventure.” – Citysearch Dec 19, 2002 Full Review The Hot Chick (2002) 21% 4/10 EDIT “The execution is so pedestrian that the most positive comment we can make is that Rob Schneider actually turns in a pretty convincing performance as a prissy teenage girl.” – Citysearch Dec 13, 2002 Full Review Analyze That (2002) 26% 6/10 EDIT “Unless Analyze This is among your all-time favorites, you won't miss a thing by skipping this retread.” – Citysearch Dec 5, 2002 Full Review The Tuxedo (2002) 22% 6/10 EDIT “The techno tux is good for a few laughs, as are Chan and Hewitt, but when such a good design turns out to be a cheap knockoff, we can't recommend anything but a rental for The Tuxedo.” – Citysearch Sep 26, 2002 Full Review Igby Goes Down (2002) 75% 8/10 EDIT “Culkin, who's in virtually every scene, shines as a young man who uses sarcastic lies like a shield.” – Citysearch Sep 13, 2002 Full Review Blood Work (2002) 52% EDIT “Seems to have been influenced solely by TV cop shows, right down to its cliched humor.” – Citysearch Aug 8, 2002 Full Review K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) 60% 6/10 EDIT “Though a capable thriller, somewhere along the way K-19 jettisoned some crucial drama.” – Citysearch Jul 19, 2002 Full Review Windtalkers (2002) 33% 7/10 EDIT “A worthwhile, if excessively violent look at a piece of history that's rarely discussed.” – Citysearch Jun 13, 2002 Full Review Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) 69% 7/10 EDIT “The story is one-dimensional, but the fact that the horses don't speak in cutesy Disney style elevates the proceedings to a classier level.” – Citysearch May 23, 2002 Full Review Enigma (2001) 71% 4/4 EDIT “The big-screen equivalent of a page-turner.” – Citysearch Apr 19, 2002 Full Review Clockstoppers (2002) 29% 2/4 EDIT “Although Clockstoppers sports some cool visual effects, it ultimately succumbs to a predictable plot and cardboard characters.” – Citysearch Mar 28, 2002 Full Review 40 Days and 40 Nights (2002) 40% 3/4 EDIT “A lighthearted romp that delivers laughs, and a thought or two, along the way.” – Citysearch Mar 1, 2002 Full Review Queen of the Damned (2002) 17% 2/4 EDIT “[E]even if you can swallow the silly plot about a vampire turned rock star, the humorless script turns things sour, eliciting unintentional laughs instead of blood-curdling frights.” – Citysearch Feb 22, 2002 Full Review Collateral Damage (2002) 19% EDIT “Any film featuring young children threatened by a terrorist bomb can no longer pass as mere entertainment.” – Citysearch Feb 8, 2002 Full Review Italian for Beginners (2000) 87% EDIT “The characters exude a warmth that's infectious.” – Citysearch Jan 18, 2002 Full Review
