Touching the Void
Great 17 Points 2003

Gripping movie about Simon Yates and Joe Simpson’s climb up Siula Grande in the Andes. But the ascent wasn’t the gripping part. The incredible story was about how Joe breaks his leg and how Simon lowers him down – an incredibly treacherous maneuver, which fails when Joe goes over a ledge forc…

Perfect 13 Points 2002

Yeah, yeah, yeeaahh!! Bash this movie all you want!! Bash it for its cheesey goodness and its popcorn movie fun, but this is a childhood favorite of mine. I have so many good memories with this film. This is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Even though another comic book film called “X-Men”…

Adaptation
Great 78 Points 2002

A rich swamp of a movie, Adaptation teems with genres and ideas, truths and lies, self-referential irony and – not least – outstanding acting. A Florida swamp containing a rare orchid gestates the interlocking stories of a crazed plant dealer, the New Yorker writer who falls for him and the …

Reign of Fire
Good 31 Points 2002

I thought I’d give this modern-day dragon fighting movie a chance. After all, how bad could it be watching tough guys Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey duke it out with some fire-breathing flying reptiles? In the end, the testosterone and fiery death made for solid entertainment, but not qu…

The Mexican
Good 17 Points 2001

Its a bit long and sometimes confusing, but great acting and a funny story-line held be through it. PItt is a natural as a bumbling gun runner and Roberts fits in as a woman on the edge. A surpsise in Gandolfini’s character and the scenes shared with Roberts.

A beautiful rendition of the book. Could it have been made any better? A marvelous tale beautifully told. Action, adventure, drama, relationship – this is truly an inspiring tale.

The Mummy Returns
Barely OK 66 Points 2001

Oh, wait. This was a movie? Seemed more an FX ride with dialogue. I’m all for silly summer blockbusters, FX heavy and logic lite. But this one is so over-the-top that it’s distancing. Boredom follows quickly. And that’s deadly, no matter how magical the spells it seeks to cast.

The movie …

Jurassic Park 3
Great 9 Points 2001

While this movie is far from a cinematic masterpiece, it is an improvement over Lost World and is a fun time for fans of the franchise. With a new director, cool action scenes, and the return of Allan Grant, JP3 proves to be a very fun summer blockbuster and an underrated sequel. It proves to hav…

The Other Side ...
OK 66 Points 2001

A Mormon missionary’s time in Tonga makes for an entertaining family movie, if you can leave the proselytizing aside. The Other Side of Heaven is also an appealing period piece, first in the 1950s United States, but mostly in the South Pacific Islands of that era.

Based on the biography of …
