This comment could be used to describe "The Adventure of Pluto Nash", or maybe "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood", Or maybe "Murder By Numbers", or possibly "Sweet Home Alabama". but could also be applied to any of the Jason Xs or MIB2s or Blade 2s inflicted on moviegoers.

In fact, 2002 wasn't that bad. Sure, it has a fair share of turkeys and clunkers, but every movie year has that. No, what we saw was a return to normal, after the dizzingly years of 2000-2001, it's refreshing to not *have* to see every movie playing. In a way, "Snow Dogs" is comforting. No matter what the geopolitical situation, Hollywood will still put out crap.

Lilo And Stich was ignored, despite being the best Disney movie in years. "Bowling for Columbine" proved that you don't need to let facts get in the way of polemetic, and the ressounding THUD that Attack of Clones had should be the death-keal of the series. Quite a few fine movies where released (Adapation, Frida) and the ratio to an 8 Crazy Nights or SwimFan to a Two Towers is about the same as it's always been.

Oh well, as the year draws to a close, Spider-Man flung, Jessica got kissed, There where Big Fat Greek Weddings and Minority Reports. The Ring gave us nightmares, Two Towers Thrilled, and Potter squelled. Business as usual.
