1. Gigli

Most Disappointing

1. The Matrix Reloaded
2. The Matrix Revolutions
3. Master and Commander

Most Surprising

1. X-Men United
2. Love Actually
3. Bruce Almighty

yeah, about schmidt WAS pretty bad

Far From Heaven, Spirited Away and Chicago were all 2002 releases though.

Well, there are a lot of movies I simply don't get a chance to see until they make it to video.

I should have added Antwoine Fisher.

The Pianist was good, but over the years I've seen many many films with the same basic plot.

"The Pianist was good, but over the years I've seen many many films with the same basic plot."

I don't know, I thought that the plot was pretty distinctive - a man struggling to evade a fascist regime... holed up in an apartment...

The only other film I can think of like it is "Au Revoir Les Enfants" which is itself quite different in many respects.

My top ten of 2002:


#10 - Spider-Man
#9 - Minority Report
#8 - Chicago
#7 - 8 Women
#6 - Spirited Away
#5 - Far From Heaven
#4 - Adaptation
#3 - The Pianist
#2 - Catch Me If You Can
#1 - Metropolis

Damn it -- you know smilies serve as a crutch for people like me who have no sense of humor!

Just saw Last Samarai. Really good. May even be an oscar favorite.

[monolith94]

I don't play nearly as many videogames as you do.

Dissident, my wife and I like to see at least one movie a week. We usually see the best of the new openings. That adds up to 52 movies a year, which is a lot.

I'm hearing Oscar buzz for Johnny Depp. I think he should at least be nominated.

[monolith94]

I agree.

[Ned]

Yeah, Depp is an excellent actor and his performance was, well, excellent camp.

[Dr Strangelove]

Was Pirates of the Carribean that good? The trailers turned me off. I have no tolerance for movies that rely on horror shock to substitute for quality scripting, acting and etc., and I thought the ghost pirates plot was just a little too much. Maybe I'll catch sometime.

Depps performance in "Chocolat" was very good.

[Dis]

well it's on video now, so I guess I'll see it. I admit I was skeptical as well. A pirate movie? But I guess I'll see it now.
