2002 FILM LIST
Ok everybody, here we go! This is the 2002 Film List. Many of you know what to do, some don't, and if you're one of them.......
How does it work and how do you join? Simple:
-Open up a post and setup your list, with the following something like this (this is only suggested, you can do it differently)
2002 Film List
Last Updated: January 1st, 2002
Criteria Used: USA/Canada Release
Number of Films Seeen: 123
-Then post your list however you want, by title
-Whenever you see a new 2002 title, simply edit the title into your thread. Optional: Post an update thread with what you have added, comments optional. (ie. The nice way of "bumping" the thread to the top )
In regards to criterias: choose from USA/Canada Release, NY/LA First Release, Oscar Release, Worldwide First Release. Please do NOT use "Platform Pushover" criteria (ie. A Beautiful Mind's wide release is January 4th, 2002, but it was originally released in December '01, thus making it a 2001 Film) or "Whenever The Hell I Saw It" criteria. If you need help finding a date or where to put a title, consult the IMDB or email me.
Please join this list ONLY if you are serious about contributing a list, keeping it regularily updated, and intend to see a good share of this year's films. Your list may be deleted without notice if frequent updates have not been made.

Won't see: The list of tripe I won't see is much longer than what is above. Fortunately, I am not a paid critic, so I can skip the obviously bad stuff. I see MOST movies I want to see opening weekend. If not, too bad.
Older films seen this year:
Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone - 8.5/10
The Wicker Man - can understand status, but didn't do a lot for me - 5/10
Serendipity - not bad, but dull and pointless - 4/10
Elizabeth - reminded me very much of The Godfather, not a bad thing per se - 8/10
The Frighteners: Director's Fun Cut - better than the theatrical - 8/10 (Making of...Doc gets a 10/10, and maybe it goes to 11)
The Others - 9/10
Amelie - 8.5/10 (Blind purchase, but not a stupid one - never would have seen this if it weren't for HTF. Wonderful film, very vivid and vibrant!)
The Royal Tenenbaums - 6.5/10 (Just didn't work for me...certainly not a bad film by any stretch, but not to my taste)
Resident Evil - 6/10 (Enjoyable trash )
Re-Animator - 7.5/10 (Didn't necessarily live up to the hype, but was a cool little film nonetheless)
Society - 7/10 (Dated, but wicked, and I thought it was pretty cool - nice hotties, some gross-out stuff, and a sharp tone)
Take care,
Chuck :p)

I'm only going to see those that are noteworthy including independent, foreign films and the high profiled films. I value my time and life is too short to waste on such movies as Joe Dirt and Freddie Got Fingered. So my list will be shorter than most of the others here.
Films Seen: I may or may not do a running total of all the films I have seen. In order to keep my list short and to the point, I will only list those films I have seen that are worthy of mentioning.

Spotlight on Undistributed South Korean Cinema

Just thought I'd make a seperate little spot here for recent South Korean cinema, seeing as how I've been watching so much of it lately and will likely see much more before the year is out. Certainly one of the most booming and exciting new waves of cinema in recent years with an output of astonishing diversity and quality.
