Review of Friday After Next (2002)

By Nick Rogers (786) for State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL) (137) on 25 Jun 2003

Perhaps the main problem with Friday After Next is that everything is too manic to be memorable…

Review of Agent Cody Banks (2003)

By Nick Rogers (786) for State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL) (137) on 25 Jun 2003

It's as though for every good idea the movie has, someone from the writing committee jumped in and said, 'Yeah, but let's put a fart joke right…

Review of Treasure Planet (2002)

By Nick Rogers (786) for State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL) (137) on 25 Jun 2003

Review of From Justin to Kelly (2003)

By Nick Rogers (786) for Midwest Film Journal (148) on 25 Jun 2003

Review of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

By Nick Rogers (786) for State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL) (137) on 25 Jun 2003

The franchise is showing no fear at exploring the novels' darker moments, but needs to judiciously pare down the time it takes for the lights…

Review of Extreme Ops (2002)

By Nick Rogers (786) for State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL) (137) on 25 Jun 2003

We get awful effects and endless shots of stuntmen filling in for B-grade actors (such as Bridgette Wilson-Sampras) traveling down mountains…

Review of Ghost Ship (1952)

By Nick Rogers (786) for State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL) (137) on 25 Jun 2003

It's a workmanlike production, with no surprises, no scares and no jokes - unless you count the demon that laments his job by saying he must…

Review of Chicago (2002)

By Nick Rogers (786) for The Film Yap (559) on 25 Jun 2003

Chicago is hyperactive, but instead of throwing everything and seeing what sticks, it intoxicates you like a glitzy, neon narcotic…

Review of Kangaroo Jack (2003)

By Nick Rogers (786) for State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL) (137) on 25 Jun 2003

David McNally basically made a mob comedy, realized it wasn't funny and then added in computer-generated shots of the kangaroo that didn't…

Review of Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)

By Nick Rogers (786) for The Film Yap (559) on 25 Jun 2003

The backyard battles you staged with your green plastic army men were more exciting and almost certainly made more sense…

Review of City by the Sea (2002)

By Nick Rogers (786) for Midwest Film Journal (148) on 25 Jun 2003

We watch an esteemed actor discovering new nuances. In turn, it's a sublime reminder of the qualities that made Robert De Niro great, not a gimmick…

Review of Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner (2002)

By Nick Rogers (786) for The Film Yap (559) on 25 Jun 2003

A film so crisp with detail that, like other great films, it whisks us away to a locale like nothing else we've ever seen to tell a story that's…

Review of The Four Feathers (2002)

By Nick Rogers (786) for Midwest Film Journal (148) on 25 Jun 2003

Ultimately, The Four Feathers is nothing more than a handsomely mounted escapist action flick…

Review of Head of State (2003)

By Nick Rogers (786) for State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL) (137) on 25 Jun 2003

Like so many of his other films, it's still not the movie that Chris Rock's fans know he's capable of making…

Review of The Rules of Attraction (2002)

By Nick Rogers (786) for The Film Yap (559) on 25 Jun 2003

It's an outstanding film, clearly stamped with some bravura filmmaking techniques, an impeccable soundtrack and a stereotype-shattering performance…

Review of Gangs of New York (2002)

By Nick Rogers (786) for The Film Yap (559) on 25 Jun 2003

Gangs' editing, suspense, and overall visual style all are evocative of classic Scorsese greats, but rarely has the filmmaker's thematic eye…

Review of Shanghai Knights (2003)

By Nick Rogers (786) for State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL) (137) on 25 Jun 2003

Instead of penning a funny action film, the screenwriters created a Mad-Lib filled with wink-wink instances where the two main characters run…

Review of The Master of Disguise (2002)

By Nick Rogers (786) for The Film Yap (559) on 25 Jun 2003

In the end, Dana Carvey is left wishing he could disguise himself as Mike Myers, or himself circa 1986. At least then, he would be funny again…

Review of Biker Boyz (2003)

By Nick Rogers (786) for State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL) (137) on 25 Jun 2003

Essentially, Biker Boyz is a soap opera wrapped up in the trashy-but-flashy packaging of The Fast and the Furious…
