Review Re-View [2001]
This is my schedule for the upcoming months of retrospectives where I re-watch movies I reviewed twenty years ago, assessing my original writing, and any new thoughts and analysis two decades hence. This is an extension from my very rewarding deep dive back into the films of 1999 and my early film reviews as a 17-year-old high school student (1999: The Greatest Year in Film? A Review Re-View). Not every writer has a resource of twenty years of film reviews, so I figure why not continue looking back at these older reviews and films. Dear reader, your 2021 lineup of 2001 movies are:
January – NONE, as I didn’t review a film originally released this month
February – Hannibal
March – Memento
April – Freddie Got Fingered
May – Moulin Rouge!, Pearl Harbor
June – A.I.
July – Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
August – The Others, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
September – Glitter
October – Mulholland Drive, Donnie Darko
November – In the Bedroom
December – Vanilla Sky, Monster’s Ball
Stay tuned for further updates and review re-views as I look back on some of the more noteworthy films of that first year of the twenty-first century, and also cringe at some of my writing as an 19-year-old smartypants.
