Catch Me If You Can (2002)

Spielberg, Hanks, and DiCaprio. Hard to go wrong. Based on an amazing true life story, this movie was pure fun to watch. Leonardo is solid as usual, Hanks is very subdued, but perfect in his role. It's a fun piece of escapism.

Rating: B-

Daredevil (2003)

We got to see the usual backstory of our hero. It may be part of the superhero formula, but at least it provides some depth to the main character. The action and special f/x were great. Their interpretation of his sonar sight was pretty cool, and I liked the creativity used in turning his walking stick into a deadly weapon.

This film won me over by not making things look too cartoony and fake. They at least tried to keep things based in reality. I appreciate that.

Rating: C+

Moonlight Mile (2002)

Great performances and script. A sometimes moody film, however, it had plenty of humorous moments to keep you from becoming totally depressed.

Rating: B-

Old School (2003)

Just as funny as people said it was. There's something that rarely happens. Same guy who made Road Trip, which I enjoyed, and you quickly recognize his brand of humor. Plus Will Ferrel is allowed to get as wild and crazy as he wants to. Great cast and plenty of funny moments. The DVD has a lot of extra features that are worth checking out too.
