Fred’s No Clue Movie Review

BEST FLICKS OF 2002

I’ve decided to use this space to talk about my favorite flicks of the past year. This was a tough list, because there were some fantastic movies released in 2002. Now, I must say that I haven’t seen a good deal of the big Oscar favored flicks this year yet. Below, you’ll find a list of my picks for the best of 2002. Then below that list you’ll find some contenders that I’m dying to go see.

FRED’S TOP 10

1. Minority Report – Spielberg at his best. Buy the DVD!
2. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers – Jackson does it again. Fantastic.
3. Road to Perdition – Sam Mendes’s second flick. Great gangster story.
4. Spiderman – guilty pleasure
5. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones – another guilty pleasure. Bad acting, story gaps, but Yoda kicks ass!
6. About Schmidt – Nicholson funny as hell and a great story.
7. Bowling for Columbine – thought provoking.
8. The Ring – scary at it’s best
9. Gangs of New York – Marty Scorsese delivers a knock out film.
10. Y Tu Mama Tambien – a foreign film with some real bite and unsettlingly at times. Alfonso Cuaron delivers a great film about coming of age.

Contenders that I want to see:

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Adaptation, Far From Heaven and The Hours.

I’ll also use this space to give out a list of my Oscar picks once the nominations are announced. I love picking the winners and have won Oscar pools in the past. I’ve even helped others win too. So make sure to check out my Oscar picks coming in March 2003.

Got comments? Suggestions? I’d love to hear them.
