Underworld (2003)


Kate looks so damn good in leather. Maybe I was distracted; but I couldn't get into the story at all. I'm also not a fan of the whole vampire genre.

Good grief, it took a lot of effort to really get into this droll story full of characters you never really care about. Still, there are some well-constructed scenes and the music helped.

Hulk (2003)
Stehako's rating:
I did not see the appeal in this foreign flick. I tried to watch it a couple of times and could barely get through it. Kind of like "Cache"
Stehako's rating:
Shia Leboeuf finds himself in the tough spot of being a Nickelodeon actor and a real actor, but finding himself in this half-assed movie.
Stehako's rating:

Dreamcatcher (2003)


The first time I saw this, I actually really liked it, it played with my mind and surprised me a few times. The second time, I was amazed at this poor excuse for filmmaking.

Narc (2003)
As they say in 'Entourage' Jason Patric is intense. He is paired up with another intense actor, Ray Liotta. These guys aren't bad but the story seems stale and the color grading is pale, making this also a drab film to watch, but at least it fits with the story being told.
Stehako's rating:

While nothing original comes out of this it was a pleasant surprise and a cute film. Yes, I said cute film.

Alex & Emma (2003)
Nothing bad about this romantic film; but... nothing really that good either. At least it had a unique concept.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 78 Average listal rating (40 ratings) 6.1 IMDB Rating 6
Secret Things (2002)
The moody cinematography and lead actresses make this a pleasant film to watch albeit one with little substance or heart.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 290 Average listal rating (147 ratings) 6.2 IMDB Rating 6
Gerry (2002)


Beautiful imagery and interesting experimenting with rhythms and compositions but wow, what a boring fucking movie.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 8 Average listal rating (6 ratings) 6.3 IMDB Rating 0
A really funny concept but it gets a little too mean spirited.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 94 Average listal rating (47 ratings) 6.4 IMDB Rating 6.8
On par with Cameron's "Aliens in the Deep" It was basically a show on Discovery, and an average one at that.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 588 Average listal rating (392 ratings) 6.8 IMDB Rating 6.9
Like in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" there is an Elvis/Pharaoh connection.

Brother Bear (2003)
Nice try, Disney, nice try. You should probably just rely on Pixar and your sports movies. Enough of these, please.

Laurel Canyon (2003)



Director: Lisa Cholodenko
Her 2nd Movie
My 3rd movie watched from the director


One of Bale's weakest selections in movies. I can see the appeal as the premise is promising, but the direction, editing, and overall production is second rate. It's just overall a little entertaining, never bad, but never surprising or really good... I'm just having a tough time trying to understand the point of it, too. The five main actors are fine as they are all top-tier actors just not given enough.

Dinklage leads a solid cast in this slice of life movie that entertains but doesn't take us anywhere.

Zahn and Lawrence probably won't be doing any more films together.

Very cool visuals; but it really is basically a bunch of birds flying. I could watch that on National Geographic Channel.

Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 488 Average listal rating (312 ratings) 7 IMDB Rating 7.5
I'm not really sure what this film was trying to be. The acting was good and story was good; that's as much as I can put down without going into a series of questions. And I don't think that was the director's intent.

Peter Pan (2003)
The trailer made it look surreal and possibly... special? Boy did they fool us.
Still, not a bad film though.

Phone Booth (2002)
Dammit, Whitaker.

I think Willis needs to get Whitaker's agent, because clearly this guy can't act yet he gets gigs.

Ahhhh, refreshing... Jessica Biel. Nothing else was refreshing about this remake

Mindless fun action-kind-of-comedy.

Radio (2003)
This film was trying too hard and didn't have resounding success. However, I still watched the entire thing and enjoyed what it was about. Gooding Jr does a fine job; but the supporting cast could have been a little more supportive.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 64 Average listal rating (40 ratings) 6.3 IMDB Rating 6.9
The highlight of this movie, of course, is Walken. If I didn't find pool and billiards so interesting I probably wouldn't have cared much for this movie.

I'm not sure where the full entertainment I was expecting went...

I felt wrong watching this, the very young Knightley is tantalizing, even as a jock.
Stehako's rating:
A cast of future stars does well with the authentic dialogue. It's story of love and friendship and sort of a coming-of-age with people in their twenties.
Stehako's rating:

Rockwell and Lohman do a good job of making Cage not look bad.

I usually put one or two romantic comedies on here and this one certainly deserves a spot. Kate Hudson is adorable and and Matty McC is at least tolerable. Could have used a little more Goldberg though, that guy IS gold.

Swimming Pool (2003)
Not a whole lot happens in this film; but at least the title accurate.

People who added this item 57 Average listal rating (33 ratings) 6.8 IMDB Rating 6.9
John Malcovich actually directs this impressive first feature for an actor/now director. While he isn't starring in it, the very talented Bardem is, and he is the highlight of this strange detective/revolution story.

Wrong Turn (2003)


Two amazing beauties, Dushku and Chriqui, endure such disgusting horrific situations.

People who added this item 970 Average listal rating (636 ratings) 6.3 IMDB Rating 6.6
Cool title, not-as-cool film. Willis needs a new agent. Monica Bellucci is gorgeous but her some of her important assets are too constrained in this film
Stehako's rating:

The Company (2003)
Quite a different film for Altman. It was nicely done though.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 366 Average listal rating (258 ratings) 6.2 IMDB Rating 6.5
Out of Time (2003)
Denzel is the lead in a Spanish-Prisoner style action movie that would be half as good if he were not the star.
Stehako's rating:
Easily the least-likable of the trilogy. It's hard to top T2. The new baddie was cool and hot in that outfit. The kids brought it down a little and some of action seemed a little cheap.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 795 Average listal rating (497 ratings) 6.5 IMDB Rating 7
I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but thankfully it wasn't half bad. My kid really likes and that makes it better. It's just a nice story for kids to watch.

Oh to be thirteen, what a responsible age...

In America (2002)
Hell's Kitchen never looked so good, I mean bad. I don't know, but this film of an Irish immigrant family tugs at the heart and soul with such ease. Hounsou is someone to look for, too.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 321 Average listal rating (165 ratings) 6.4 IMDB Rating 7.1
Hayden Christiansen CAN act, he just needs a good script and director (unlike in 'Clones')
