Vickie's Best of 2002

And the Gold Stars Go To...

Moonlight Mile - still makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside
Femme Fatale - sassy, saucy and sexy!
Roger Dodger - smart and brilliantly scripted
Bend It Like Beckham shameless, sunshine-y fun
Chicago - sinfully seductive and fabulously flashy
Secretary - see Femme Fatale
Panic Room - suspense-filled psychological thriller
Blue Crush - sun, surf and a kick-ass soundtrack
About a Boy - sweet and surprisingly subtle silliness
My Big Fat Greek Wedding - the highest-grossing indie film of all time...and brought to the screen by a Canadian!

Jake Gyllenhaal and Dustin Hoffman star in Moonlight Mile, Vickie's pick for best movie of 2002.

To the Trash Bin With Ye!

Death to Smoochy - horribly hateful
Blood Work - b-o-r-i-n-g
Auto Focus - way overrated
Life or Something Like It - why, Angelina? WHY?
Serving Sara - not even so-bad-it's-funny
