Movie Review

Chris Rock stars as Mays Gilliam, a Washington D.C. alderman who fights daily battles to protect his run-down neighborhood and its hard-working people. After rescuing a woman and her cat from a building about to be destroyed, Gilliam comes to the attention of powerful people looking for a new candidate to support for office. What office? That would be the office of The President of the United States. After the initial shock, Gilliam dives into the campaign, selecting his older brother Mitch (Bernie Mac) as his running mate. Tamala Jones co-stars as the woman Mays Gilliam would love to make his First Lady.

Harrison's Flowers (2003-)

Movie Review

Director Elie Chouraqui's graphic look at war-torn Yugoslavia adroitly mixes a gripping love story with unrelentingly violent scenes of the brutality of war. Serving up a realistic depiction of the dangerous work undergone by photojournalists and reporters deep inside hostile territory, “Harrison's Flowers” strikes a chilling chord - especially with the recent killing of “Wall Street Journal” reporter Daniel Pearl still so fresh in our minds.

Heartbreakers (-2003)

Movie Review

Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt star as a pair of mother-daughter con artists who have almost perfected the art of ripping off wealthy men. Working as a team, Max (Weaver) sets the con up by seducing rich men into matrimony, withholding sex until after the vows. Daughter Page (Hewitt), wearing the tightest outfits this side of Erin Brockovich, then swoops in for the kill. Page, and her chest, manipulate the just-married men into some very compromising positions which Max then "accidentally" stumbles upon. Within 24 hours of marriage, the newlyweds are headed to the divorce lawyer. Hours after that, the mother-daughter team count their money while searching for their next "mark." Max is so competent at her work that even after the marriage ceremony is over, she finds ways to avoid sleeping with her new, and by this point, very randy husband.

Hearts in Atlantis

Movie Review

"Hearts in Atlantis" introduces us to Bobby Garfield, an 11-year old whose biggest challenge is how to earn enough money to buy that killer bike that's on display at the local sporting goods store, despite his mother's efforts at keeping him from accomplishing that goal.
Following the death of his father, Bobby's being raised alone by his hardhearted mother. His mother constantly reminds him that it's because of his father's inability to pass up an inside straight, that they are barely scrapping by and are forced to live paycheck to paycheck. Though she's able to buy herself beautiful dresses for work, she can't seem to find a spare dime to buy Bobby a decent gift for his 11th birthday. He's looking forward to a bike but receives - as his sole gift - an adult library card. Just when things are looking hopeless for Bobby, into his sterile life comes a mysterious man who moves his belongings in a paper bag, much to the chagrin of Bobby's mom.

High Crimes (2003-)

Movie Review

Judd is Claire Kubik, a high-powered defense attorney living an affluent, happy life with her husband, Tom (cue the "Jaws" music, it's about to get dramatic). Everything she believes about her husband is tossed out the window as he is arrested at gunpoint by the FBI and charged with the deaths of innocent civilians during a military action in El Salvador. As the wife of a man who is accused of atrocious crimes during a covert military operation, Judd's torn between her love for her husband and the ugliness of the charges mixed with the possibility that the military's version of events is true. Deciding to be the supportive wife - and cutthroat defense attorney - she enlists the help of Charlie Grimes (Morgan Freeman), a wild card attorney with many bones to pick with the military.

The Hours (2003-)

Movie Review

What do you call a movie that features brilliant performances by every actor no matter the size of the role, intelligent dialogue, and a compelling story with emotional depth? You call it "The Hours" and you justifiably label it with every accolade (even the clichéd ones) normally associated with an outstanding film.
Based on the critically acclaimed book "The Hours" by Michael Cunningham ("The Hours" was the original working title of Virginia Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway"), the story follows three women living in three different eras whose lives are connected through time by Woolf's novel, "Mrs. Dalloway."

House of Sand and Fog (2003-)

Movie Review

"House of Sand and Fog" could be summed up simply as the story of a woman who unfairly loses her family home versus the man who purchases the said home and won’t relinquish it. But the truth of the story is much more complicated. The house in "House of Sand and Fog" isn’t merely a physical location. It’s a metaphor for stability and family. No matter the turmoil surrounding it, the house stands steady (and kudos to the filmmakers for finding such a perfect location).

The Hulk (2003-)

Movie Review

The screen version of “The Hulk” provides the background story on why mild-mannered scientist Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) transforms into the green beast. Through a series flashbacks, we learn Bruce’s dad (played by Nick Nolte with his famous 'mug shot' hair) wasn’t such a nice guy. Because of some unauthorized experimentation, Bruce’s DNA is wrong – all wrong. So wrong that if he gets angry, he becomes a big green fighting machine. Flash forward to contemporary times with Bruce romantically involved with the beautiful Betty Ross (Jennifer Connelly), envied by Glenn Talbot (Josh Lucas), and wanted by the military. As circumstances rile up Bruce, the Hulk emerges to wreak havoc. It then becomes up to the love of a good woman to soothe the savage beast.

Human Nature (2003-)

Movie Review

"Human Nature" comes from the creative mind of the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, Charlie Kaufman ("Being John Malkovich"). Equally as outlandish and innovative as "Being John Malkovich," "Human Nature" features what could possibly be the strangest cast of leading characters in recent film history.
Tim Robbins narrates the story as the recently deceased behaviorist, Nathan Bronfman. With a tidy bullet hole in his forehead from which only a small trail of blood is still visible, Nathan recalls his recent past while seated in a blindingly white room. In life, Nathan's strict childhood with his adopted parents led him to become a behaviorist who attempted to teach table manners to mice. Seriously - that's what he did. Watch all about it.

The Human Stain (2003-)

Movie Review

Two fine actors – Nicole Kidman and Anthony Hopkins – try to generate a little sexual chemistry in “The Human Stain,” directed by Robert Benton and based on the Philip Roth novel.

Adapted from Pulitzer Prize-winner Roth’s critically acclaimed work, “The Human Stain” is the emotionally wrenching story of Professor Coleman Silk (Hopkins), a tormented man who lives in a self-imposed state of denial. After decades of teaching, Silk makes an unfortunate comment that’s taken as a racial slur. Forced from his job by the powers that be, a lonely and dejected Silk turns to writer Nathan Zuckerman (Gary Sinise) for help with a novel. A companionable relationship quickly forms between the two men, with Silk opening up far more with Zuckerman than with most of the people he’s encountered in his life. Yet the one big secret he fights to protect stays concealed, even from this man who becomes his closest friend and confidante.

I Spy (2003-)

Movie Review

“I Spy” took me by surprise. The pacing was fast, the jokes hit their marks (at least the majority of them did) and though the plot was convoluted, the script allowed Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy to play around and have fun with the project. Wilson and Murphy scored solid laughs with the preview audience and the film fairly flew by, being just slightly over an hour and a half in length. The chemistry was dynamite, much better than I anticipated, with Wilson playing the perfect straight man to Murphy's over-the-top, narcissistic character. Wilson has that great every man type of aura that makes you believe he is whoever he plays - the basically normal guy who gets caught up in abnormal situations and then wonders how the heck to get himself out of trouble. Murphy recaptures that spark he had before the “Dr. Doolittle” films.

In the Cut (2003-)

Movie Review

Meg Ryan and Mark Ruffalo get down and dirty in the whodunit, "In the Cut." Showing off more than their acting skills, Ryan and Ruffalo attempt to generate a lot of heat for director Jane Campion in this big screen adaptation of Susanna Moore’s novel.

The Italian Job (2003-)

Movie Review

“The Italian Job” is smart, sophisticated, funny, and completely entertaining. Between hot action sequences featuring wild boat rides through the canals of Venice, chase scenes involving the coolest little cars on wheels, and an intricately planned act of revenge lies a film filled with snappy dialogue and smart acting.

Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003-)

Movie Review

The sequel benefits from a bigger budget, which amounts to a larger cast, many more effects, and more of what most horror freaks demand – gore, and lots of it. And this time around the Creeper (again played by Jonathan Breck) gets to let loose with a grisly assortment of lethal weapons chiseled from bone and covered with flesh. Fine fun for the whole family (if you’re a member of the Manson Family).

Kate and Leopold (2003-)

Movie Review

Meg Ryan can add another notch to her romantic comedy belt with the delightfully fun, though thoroughly implausible, "Kate and Leopold." Moviegoers should check reason and logic at the door, and prepare for a thoroughly enchanting romp with two dynamic leading actors. The onscreen teaming of Meg Ryan (Kate) and Hugh Jackman (Leopold) pulsates with electricity, their performances perfectly complimenting each other and guiding the film smoothly above its rocky premise.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003-)

Movie Review

“Kill Bill Vol. 1” - Quentin Tarantino’s reverential tribute to martial arts films and samurai movies - rocks. It’s contemporary Tarantino out Tarantino-ing classic Tarantino. He leaves no stone unturned visually, jumping from black & white to Day-Glo, to a breathtakingly violent anime sequence, and finally landing in a sumptuous battle bathed in blue.

A Knight's Tale (2003-)

Movie Review

"Two Knights...Two Horses...Two Pieces of Sharp Lumber...But, Only One Chick...Do the Math"

Backed by the throbbing sound of Queen's "We Will Rock You," "A Knight's Tale" opens by immediately letting you know, in no uncertain terms, that this is no ordinary tale of jousting and medieval times. Mixing classic rock with medieval stylings, "A Knight's Tale" is a wild ride that never takes itself seriously. From the booming beat of "The Boys are Back in Town" to the mixture of modern-day and medieval dialogue, "A Knight's Tale" is pure entertainment.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003-)

Movie Review

A group of literary figures are recruited to save the British Empire and the world – in that order. The League must quickly travel to Venice, Italy where a madman known as the Fantom plans to blow up a meeting of world leaders. Captain Nemo’s ‘Nautilus’ provides a quicker-than-should-be-reasonably-possible ride to Venice. The group must find the bombs and stop the collapse of THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT. Or the world as they knew it back in the 1800s. They also must deal with a traitor in their midst. Watch it.

Legally Blonde (2003-)

Movie Review

Do blondes have more fun? They may - or they may not - but in "Legally Blonde," Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) does her best to prove there's much more to blondes than their hair color. As a lifelong brunette (and proud of it), I have to admit that I've always believed there has to be at least some truth behind all the blonde stereotypes. I once had a blonde roommate who thought Truman Capote was a U.S. President, and who mistook her own reflection in our living room window as a peeping tom; the "dumb blonde" stereotype has proven itself to be valid more than once. In "Legally Blonde," the dumb blonde stereotype is poked fun at, while the film does its best to help dismantle some “blonde” misperceptions.

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003-)

Movie Review

Reese Witherspoon dons her character’s obnoxious signature color, pink, for her return as Elle Woods: lawyer, spokesperson for intelligent blondes, and in “Legally Blonde 2,” political activist for animal rights. Finding herself working for a law firm that can’t get behind her campaign to free her beloved pet Chihuahua's mother from a research laboratory, Elle packs her designer bags and heads to Washington D.C. to make a difference. Working for Representative Rudd (Sally Field), it’s up to Elle to bring to fruition a bill that will ban the testing of cosmetics on animals.

Life as a House (2003-)

Movie Review

"Life as a House" is indeed a powerful, emotionally charged film that knocks you over the head with its solid acting, its skillful manipulation of our emotions, and moments of pure inspiration that cut right to the very heart of the film's dysfunctional family.

Life or Something Like it (2003-)

Movie Review

“Life or Something Like it” asks the thought-provoking question: if you knew you only had one week to live, how would you spend it? Would you bother showing up for work? Would you put right all those bad relationships and feelings you've shoved deep into your subconscious? Or would you just keep on keeping on?

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2003-)

Movie Review

Director Peter Jackson had big shoes to fill in creating "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" - his own (albeit in reality said shoes were most often missing, exposing feet that have been described as 'hobbit-like'). With the first film garnering 13 Academy Award nominations, picking up American Film Institute and Screen Actors Guild Awards, doing boffo business at the box office, and accomplishing the near impossible - exceeding many Tolkien fanatics' fantasies of a live action trilogy - Jackson set the bar incredibly high. Fortunately, this short, stout, visionary director turns out to be quite a high jumper.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003-)

Movie Review

Can I just start this out by declaring upfront Peter Jackson is a genius? There, I’ve said it and I stand behind my opinion. He’s a genius for having the guts to film the entire trilogy at the same time, for choosing the perfect mix of new, rising, and established actors, and for creating a fantasy world so breathtakingly entrancing fans of Tolkien’s work were left with very little to gripe about. Jackson’s also one smart cookie for his use of the Internet and fan sites to spread the news (and hype) surrounding “The Lord of the Rings.” Instead of keeping fans at a distance, Jackson did a fantastic job of embracing the people who would ultimately buy tickets, buy the DVDs, and support “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

Love Actually (2003-)

Movie Review

Audiences can start celebrating a little early as the holiday-themed romantic comedy “Love Actually” weaves its spell over moviegoers. Writer/director Richard Curtis’ romantic comedy can honestly, truthfully, and without hesitation be labeled ‘the romantic comedy of the year.’ In a year practically devoid of romantic comedies, that’s not exactly a tough title to claim. However, “Love Actually” is utterly charming, irresistible, and all those other accolades usually launched at a cute, fluffy, romantic comedy, so it deserves the label - and not just by default.

Love the Hard Way (2003-)

Movie Review

"Love the Hard Way" premiered at the Locarno Film Festival in August 2001 and finally with its June 2003 limited theatrical release, audiences are getting a chance to discover this buried treasure.

Brody stars as Jack: con artist, petty criminal, and womanizer extraordinaire. Women seem to be attracted to his bad boy persona (isn’t that usually the way lust works?), and he takes full advantage of his rep as he fills his bed with random women, none of which he cares one iota about. Then along comes Claire (Charlotte Ayanna). Watch the rest, don't ask me what happened next.

The Majestic (2003-)

Movie Review

Director Frank Darabont set out to make a Capra-esque film to pay homage to that esteemed filmmaker's distinctive style. With "The Majestic," Darabont achieves that goal, and more. Sure, it's totally predictable, it's overly patriotic (it was filmed prior to Sept 11th so he can't be charged with playing to American moviegoers newly found patriotism), and the age difference between Carrey and Landau yanks you out of the film at first glimpse. But, the story is told with such a genuinely sincere and loving touch, and the actors handle themselves so admirably.

Matchstick Men

Movie Review

Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell and director Ridley Scott team up for the first time and the result is one of 2003’s most entertaining movies. "Matchstick Men" is a fast-paced comedy/drama with a snappy script full of well-disguised plot twists. You don’t know where the story’s going, but you do know you want to go along for the ride. It’s refreshing to be able to sit through an entire movie where the plot isn’t telegraphed ahead of time.

The Matrix Revolutions (2003-)

Movie Review

I loved "The Matrix," got lost and confused by "The Matrix Reloaded," and waited with bated breath for "The Matrix Revolutions."

"Revolutions" jumps right into the story. Neo (Keanu Reeves) awakens in a train station, a pit stop between the Matrix and the Machine World. Trapped there as his body lies comatose aboard the Mjolnir, Neo is powerless to leave without permission from The Trainman (Bruce Spence), who takes his orders from Merovingian (Lambert Wilson).

Me Without You (2003-)

Movie Review

"Me Without You" peers inside a friendship, exposing all the beauty along with all the warts. The film traces two young girls as they grow from giggly adolescence into interesting, though diametrically opposed, young adults.

The Medallion (2003-)

Movie Review

Jackie Chan’s bread and butter has always been his otherworldly ability to take any prop, use it as a fighting weapon, and make the subsequent action sequence look like poetry in motion.

What’s always been attractive about watching Chan in action is the lack of artifice involved in selling his fight scenes to audiences. There’s no need for CGI effects, wirework, or stunt doubles when you’ve got Chan. So why are all those tricks necessary in “The Medallion?” Chan’s getting up in age but clearly he’s still able to satisfy his fans without the need for all the choppy editing, speeded up scenes, and other intrusive effects.

Men in Black II (2003-)

Movie Review

The men in black are back, looking smooth and fending off another attack by renegade aliens. The first "Men in Black" had to devote a good portion of the film to setting up the premise of a secret agency that monitors aliens on Earth - and then convincing Will Smith's character to buy into it. "Men in Black II" has the advantage of being able to jump headfirst into the 'imaginary' agency's workings. Along with those stylish guys in dark suits and dark glasses, the Worm Guys are back and so is that pugnacious pug, Frank, with an even more prominent role than in the 1997 film.

The Mexican (2003-)

Movie Review

It's not often that Hollywood has the opportunity (opportunity = financial backing) to team two superstars in a major release. Julia Roberts uses her considerable comedic talents to pull off the role of Samantha, the put-upon girlfriend of the increasingly inept Jerry, played by Brad Pitt. Jerry has gotten himself into trouble with the mob by accidentally playing a crucial role in the arrest of mob boss, Arnold Margolese (Gene Hackman). In one of the few scenes that Julia and Brad share in the film, we learn that Samantha is packed and ready to move to Vegas, when Jerry gets an order he can't refuse to go to Mexico and retrieve a priceless gun nicknamed "The Mexican." Be the eye witness.

Minority Report (2003-)

Movie Review

"Minority Report" is a little romance and a little comedy mixed up with a whole lot of souped-up action and death-defying stunts. I loved it - the incredibly stunning futuristic scenery, the action sequences that leap off the screen, and the shockingly brutal Spielbergian vision of the world in the not too distant future.

Monster's Ball (2003-)

Movie Review

"Monster's Ball" is a hauntingly compelling look at prejudice and racism. The film delves into one family's dark, depressing, inherited history of hatred for anyone not of the same race. Brutal and riveting, "Monster's Ball" treads where films seldom dare to venture - and does so without making its central characters into stereotypical one-dimensional creatures.

Moonlight Mile (2003-)

Movie Review

“Moonlight Mile” is a surprisingly honest film that doesn't take the easy route as it explores how a loved one's sudden violent death affects the surviving family members and friends. The crisp dialogue exposes a family with all its foibles and idiosyncrasies laid bare, bringing to the screen truly genuine characters (including another Oscar-worthy performance by Susan Sarandon) and creating a fictional family worthy of an audience's empathy.

Moulin Rouge (2003-)

Movie Review

This Story Is About Truth - This Story Is About Beauty - This Story Is About Freedom - Above All Things This Story Is About Love.

"Moulin Rouge" is a vivid assault on the senses. From the opening credits to the final scene, the movie's breathtaking costumes and vibrant production numbers invade your mind and fill your eyes with luscious, sensuous treats. The mix of 19th century Paris and its bohemian underground, over-the-top style and decadence, with music from the late 20th century, creates a film that slides into a category beyond extravagant. This movie takes musicals to a level never before experienced, and which may never be equaled in its exaggerated style. This visually stunning film blends elements that normally would clash, and does it with such panache it's almost painful to watch in its beauty.

Mr. Deeds (2003-)

Movie Review

In the romantic comedy "Mr. Deeds," Adam Sandler returns to the sweet, goofy 'every man' type of role that's his bread and butter, steering clear from any reference to the generally disliked, "Little Nicky." Surrounding himself with a wickedly funny supporting cast, including scene-stealers John Turturro and Steve Buscemi, Sandler's Longfellow Deeds is a guy we can relate to, a guy faced with tough choices who stumbles a little while just trying to keep it all in perspective.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2003-)

Movie Review

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is a jubilant mix of laughter, longing, forgiveness, sacrifice, commitment and, above all, balancing family obligations against true love. Throw in a gregarious group of Greeks and you've got the makings of a fun -but fluffy- 1 1/2 hour escapist film.

Novocaine (2003-)

Movie Review

Director David Atkins makes his feature film debut with this crime thriller, filled with lust, betrayal, and dental instruments. Atkins had to look no further than his own family while researching “Novocaine.” Inspired by his father and two brothers who are dentists, Atkins wanted for years to make a film featuring a dentist as the central character. Atkins explains, “Growing up I was intrigued by phone calls that would always come around dinner time. My mother would get upset and I didn't know why. I discovered later that, more often than not, people would be trying to scam my father for drugs. I always thought that was a compelling scenario.”

O (2003-)

Movie Review

Director Tim Blake Nelson and screenwriter Brad Kaaya had to wait two years for their collaborative effort to be released in theatres. "O" is a retelling/retooling of Shakespeare'sOthello, with the action taking place on the basketball court at a private, southern, high school, in place of Othello'sbattlefield.

"O" is a violent, gripping, emotional tale of love, friendship, and betrayal.

Ocean's Eleven (2003-)

Movie Review

Julia Roberts is one lucky woman. In "Ocean's Eleven," she's the only female in a cast consisting of handsome - and talented - hunks, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Andy Garcia. It must have been quite a sacrifice on her part to put up with such tough working conditions.

On the Line (2003-)

Movie Review

Two-fifths of the pop group *NSYNC star in this squeaky clean romantic comedy. Lance Bass makes his debut as a lead actor in a feature film, playing an ad agency professional who is a bust with women. His real-life good buddy and band mate, Joey Fatone, co-stars as his overly flatulent best friend.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003-)

Movie Review

Fans of "Desperado," prepare to be wowed again. There's really just one word to describe “Once Upon a Time in Mexico” - Cool. Antonio Banderas is cool, Salma Hayek is cool, and Johnny Depp… Well, Depp could have invented the word.

“Desperado” was Banderas' movie, but this one is all Depp. Depp as a rogue CIA agent, Depp as food critic, Depp obsessed with balance and order, Depp as gunslinger, Depp as the puppeteer manipulating the most powerful people in Mexico.

One Hour Photo (2003-)

Movie Review

The thought of a lonely guy behind the photo counter at a convenience store watching one particular family as they progress from newlyweds to young parents, imagining himself as a beloved uncle, carrying on a twisted secret life wrapped around his make-believe involvement in their lives, is an incredibly chilling prospect and the set-up is a captivating, suspenseful movie. Fortunately, what's on the screen is nearly as riveting as expected.

Open Range (2003-)

Movie Review

Kevin Costner jumps back in the saddle for “Open Range,” a majestic look at the old west. The “Dances With Wolves” director and “Silverado” and “Wyatt Earp”star, with “Open Range” Costner reconnects with the genre that’s served him well in the past.

“Open Range” is the nostalgic story of grizzled cowboys, the wide-open beauty of a young country, and the fading days of a way of life. “Open Range” is visually stunning and features an easy to follow plot with strictly defined heroes and villains. While the heroes don’t literally wear white hats, there’s never the slightest doubt whom to root for.

Original Sin (2003-)

Movie Review

"This is not a love story - it's a story about love."

"Original Sin" is a sexy, sensual, sizzling, romantic thriller. The chemistry between the sultry Angelina Jolie and the dangerously handsome Antonio Banderas explodes off the screen. Very few superstar match-ups have succeeded in doing what "Original Sin" so triumphantly achieves - a brilliant blending of two stars who ooze sex appeal, and whose teaming up makes this film an incredible viewing experience.

Pearl Harbor (2003-)

Movie Review

Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay launched a full out attack on moviegoers on May 25th. "Pearl Harbor" exploded onto the big screen with an impressive publicity campaign that had fans, websites, and other media outlets, counting down the days until its Memorial Day Weekend release.

While most of the publicity was centered around the battle scenes and the reenactment of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, the movie itself is more of a love story in which there just happens to be a war breaking out.

Peter Pan (2003-)

Movie Review

Buy this movie expecting to see an androgynous female gymnast surrounded by a cast of squeaky clean, politically correct kids engaged in harmless fun and you’ll be terribly surprised. This isn’t the watered down, kiddie-cartoonish “Peter Pan” you’ve come to expect. This version is darker, scarier, more violent, and a good deal more faithful to the spirit of J.M. Barrie’s work.
