Red Dragon Review
(8.0)
(10.14.2002)
- Jacob Ziegler
Since The Silence of the Lambs was so great, and its sequel Hannibal was not, I approached the latest film in the Hannibal Lecter series, Red Dragon, with some degree of trepidation. |

Insomnia DVD Review
(9.0)
(10.21.2002)
- Jacob Ziegler
When a film can boast three Academy Award winners, it certainly has some bragging rights. Toss in a director on a hot streak, and it's easy to see why this film created a stir. |

The Ring Review
(7.0)
(10.21.2002)
- Chris McCarver
An urban legend is at the core of this chilling offering from director Gore Verbinski ("The Mexican"), one that will assuredly have viewers thinking twice about answering the phone or even touching a VHS cassette. |

Insomnia DVD Review [2]
(8.5)
(10.21.2002)
- Ian Challis
Insomnia is one of those rare beasts, an Americanisation of world cinema that actually expands upon and betters the original. See it and love it. |

Frailty DVD Review
(9.0)
(10.22.2002)
- Jacob Ziegler
Bill Paxton’s directorial debut is stunning, filled with demons, violence, familial relationships, and great acting. |

Jason X DVD Review
(7.5)
(10.30.2002)
- Ian Challis
A real treat for those who’ve doggedly sat through the previous nine chapters, Jason X is a wholely entertaining slice of unpretentious post-modern nonsense. |

(9.0)
(11.02.2002)
- Jacob Ziegler
7-time Academy Award nominee Dustin Hoffman finally returns to the screen after a nearly three year absence. Luckily, he came back in a film worthy of his legendary status. |

Jackass: The Movie Review
(5.0)
(11.03.2002)
- Jacob Ziegler
Johnny Knoxville and the gang from MTV’s “Jackass” stretch their usual 30-minute weekly show into an uncensored 90-minute gross-out fest. |

The Santa Clause 2 Review
(6.5)
(11.04.2002)
- Ashish
Tim Allen returns as Santa in this fun little Christmas-time film that should hit a homerun with its target audience... |

I Spy Review
(6.5)
(11.04.2002)
- Chris McCarver
"I Spy" does do an effective job of presenting a fun and fast-paced action comedy that should count itself fortunate to have the team of Murphy and Wilson in the starring roles... |

Eminem makes his acting debut in one of the most anticipated films of the year. Curtis Hanson directs, and Kim Basinger, Brittany Murphy, and Mekhi Phifer co-star. |

Half Past Dead Review
(6.5)
(11.18.2002)

In yet another attempt to salvage Steven Seagal's big-screen value, B-grade actor/director Don Michael Paul ("Robot Wars") directs the '90s martial arts icon along with rap star Ja Rule... |

It’s been sixteen years since director Robert Harmon last ventured into horror territory, how does his return stack up? |

(11.29.2002)
- Jacob Ziegler
Can Soderbergh redeem himself after this summer’s deplorable Full Frontal? He sure makes quite an effort with his latest film, produced by James Cameron. |
