Movies List for 2002

Snake Eyes (1998)seen 4 Jan 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  Stylish, fast action thriller.

Watched on STAR Movies.  Wow!

Rush Hour 2 (2001)seen 26 Jan 02 · 6 out of 10

Watched in theatre.  A step or two below the first movie.  But fun.

Gen-Y Cops (2000)seen 11 Feb 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  Fun, hi-tech Chinese movie, great music.

Psycho (1998)seen 27 Feb 02 · 9 out of 10

Watched on HBO.  I haven't seen the original 1960 Hitchcock movie.  And if this 1998 remake was so good, I can only imagine what the original must be like!

Sleepy Hollow (1999)seen 2 Mar 02 · 9 out of 10

Watched on TV.

Thir13en Ghosts (2001)seen 11 Mar 02 · 7 out of 10

Saw this in theatre.  A lot of fun!

Enemy of the State (1998)seen 23 Mar 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  Flashy, well made action thriller.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)seen 24 Mar 02 · 10 out of 10

Watched this in the theatre, night show, and in India it was just a few hours before the 2002 Oscars.

Ronin (1998)seen 5 Apr 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)seen 22 Apr 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched in the theatre.  I enjoyed it!

Kickboxer 2: The Road Back (1990)seen 23 Apr 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  This was an inspiring, very good movie.  Written by David S. Goyer.  I liked Sasha Mitchell's lead character of David Sloan.

Wolf (1994)seen 25 Apr 02 · 6 out of 10

Watched on AXN.  Stylish, different horror movie.

A Beautiful Mind (2001)seen 6 May 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched in the theatre.

What Lies Beneath (2000)seen 10 May 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  It was twisty fun!

Training Day (2001)seen 15 May 02 · 10 out of 10

Watched in the theatre.  Director Antoine Fuqua's best movie to date, with excellent acting!

Hard-Boiled (1992)seen 16 May 02 · 9 out of 10

I got this tape as a birthday present.  Now this is the Indian Film Board's cut, and cut it is indeed.  Quality of the tape was bad and it was obviously missing scenes without any apparent reason.  Inspite of all that, this movie is superb.

Me, Myself & Irene (2000)seen 17 May 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  I didn't think it was Jim Carrey's best though.

Blood Surf (2000)seen 22 May 02 · 5 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies (00:15 AM that day).  Weird low budget movie.

Being John Malkovich (2000)seen 24 May 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  I must watch it again.

Spider-Man (2002)seen 27 May 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched in theatre.  Sam Raimi's stylish way of making this movie is great.

Inspector Gadget (1999)seen 31 May 02 · 3 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  In competition with a few other movies for being the worst movie I have ever seen.  Fortunately it's very short but unfortunately it manages to be irritating even then.  The only reason you'd even want to watch this movie is to hear the opening theme music.

Candyman: Day of the Dead (1999)seen 3 Jun 02 · 5 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies (movie started at midnight on that day).  Low budget - worked sometimes, and sometimes it didn't.

Titan A.E. (2000)seen 7 Jun 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  A different kind of animated feature, not the usual stuff.  Well done.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)seen 8 Jun 02 · 7 out of 10

I have a feeling Episode III will be a lot better.  Even watching those effects on the big screen somehow didn't impress me, I actually liked the first half better.

The Prophecy a.k.a. God's Armyseen 9 Jun 02 · 8 out of 10

It was shown on STAR Movies in early 1997 I think.  Anyway this time they showed it on AXN and I wish I could have seen the full movie.

Dirty Workseen 11 Jun 02 · 6 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies (midnight).  Missed the first 15 minutes or so.  The movie was fun.

Armageddon (1998)seen 11 Jun 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies right after the previous movie (this means it started at 1:30 AM).  It was a lot better than I thought it would be.

Panic Room (2002)seen 22 Jun 02 · 10 out of 10

Watched in theatre, very very good!

Kevin & Perry Go Large (2000)seen 23 Jun 02 · 4 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  I did not like it at all.

Sublet (1998)seen 24 Jun 02 · 6 out of 10

Watched on Hallmark Channel (movie started at midnight).  OK thriller.

Bedazzled (2000)seen 5 Jul 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  By mistake, they showed 45 minutes of the 1967 version of the movie, before abruptly starting this 2000 version.  I thought this movie was quite good.

The Sign of Four (2001)seen 7 Jul 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched on Hallmark.

The Time Machine (2002)seen 14 Jul 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched in theatre.  Nice effects.

The Godfather (1972)seen 14 Jul 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.

Meet the Parentsseen 16 Jul 02 · 6 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  OK.

The Scorpion King (2002)seen 21 Jul 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched in theatre.  It was fun!

The Mexican (2001)seen 2 Aug 02 · 6 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  Fun but overlong.

Minority Report (2002)seen 4 Aug 02 · 10 out of 10

Amazing movie, must be watched on a big screen only.

Men in Black II (2002)seen 15 Aug 02 · 6 out of 10

This time around, it wasn't so much fun.

Woman on Top (2000)seen 16 Aug 02 · 6 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  I didn't like it.

Dil Chahta Hai (2001)seen 17 Aug 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched on STAR Plus.  Nice movie but it could have been a half-hour shorter!

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000)seen 23 Aug 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  Much better than the first.

Turbulence 3: Heavy Metal (1998)seen 28 Aug 02 · 6 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  Low budget.

Signs (2002)seen 1 Sep 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched in theatre.  M. Night Shyamalan's third movie is just as unique and as original as his others.  Terrific.

The Case of the Whitechapel Vampire (2002)seen 15 Sep 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched on Hallmark Channel.  After watching three Hallmark-produced Sherlock Holmes stories, I like the combination of Matt Frewer and Kenneth Welsh as Holmes and Watson.  This movie was well made.  Written and directed by Rodney Gibbons.

Mercury Rising (1998)seen 21 Sep 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched on HBO.  Nicely made and especially well acted!

Bloodfist V: Human Target (1993)seen 28 Sep 02 · 7 out of 10

This movie was shown on HBO.  One of the better Bloodfist movies, with nice action and a twisty story.

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)seen 11 Oct 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched this on STAR Movies.  I thought it was a bit slow in getting started, but once the story got going, it was a lot of fun.

XXX (2002)seen 20 Oct 02 · 7 out of 10

A well made extreme action movie, Vin Diesel is great to watch!

Shadow of the Vampire (2000)seen 24 Oct 02 · 7 out of 10

Probably one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen.  Willem Dafoe is awesome.

Lagaan: Once upon a time in India (2001)seen 27 Oct 02 · 10 out of 10

India's entry for the 2002 Oscars - nominated for Best Foreign Language Film - and for good reason too!  Watched on Sony TV.

Tales from the Crypt (1989)seen 2 Nov 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched at night on STAR Movies.  This TV movie has three well-told creepy stories!

Windtalkers (2002)seen 9 Nov 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched this in the theatre, John Woo's latest is a nicely made war movie!

Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1994)seen 9 Nov 02 · 9 out of 10

Watched at night on STAR Movies.  I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, it's in the style of all those classic horror movies I admire, like The Evil Dead.

Mimic (1997)seen 16 Nov 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched this on STAR Movies, well done movie but not excellent.

Battle Creek Brawl a.k.a. The Big Brawl (1980)seen 18 Nov 02 · 8 out of 10

Great Jackie Chan movie, from the director of Enter the Dragon.  Nice looking and entertaining.

Resident Evil (2002)seen 24 Nov 02 · 8 out of 10

Excellent movie, lots of scares, but I felt they could have piled on a bit more gore, blood and icky stuff.  Made a lot of difference watching in the theatre.

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986)seen 30 Nov 02 · 5 out of 10

Watched on HBO.  Good points: some nice frights, lots of gore and a scary Jason.  Problems: What's up with all the jokes and bad acting?  Can't be too critical however, this was a pretty OK movie.

Spy Kids (2001)seen 6 Dec 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  Excellent movie by Robert Rodriguez!  I really had fun watching this.

Dude, Where's My Car? (2000)seen 9 Dec 02 · 8 out of 10

Watched on STAR Movies.  One of the craziest movies I've seen but I enjoyed it.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)seen 13 Dec 02 · 4 out of 10

Watched on HBO.  In comparison to this, Part VI was better.  Of course, since I watched it on TV, it was heavily censored, so I might have liked the uncut version better.  Might have.

The Guru (2002)seen 22 Dec 02 · 7 out of 10

Watched in the theatre.  Fun movie.

Traffic (2001)seen 25 Dec 02 · 10 out of 10

Recorded this long ago from Zee MGM, watched it later.  Excellent movie, brilliantly edited and directed.

Kaante (2002)seen 26 Dec 02 · 6 out of 10

Watched in the theatre.  Reservoir Dogs imitation that looks good and is pretty fun to watch, but has flaws and is overdone.

Die Another Day (2002)seen 29 Dec 02 · 8 out of 10

20th Bond movie, very enjoyable and stylish.  But GoldenEye is still my favourite Bond movie...
