[movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Underdog (2007)      "Disney's charmless live-action resurrection of the beloved super-mutt [is] just a bunch of mercenary actors and technicians who can barely disguise their contempt for the film's screenplay" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006)      "You look at a movie like this and wonder how some screenwriters can have the temerity to go on strike" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Monster Squad (1987)      "For a movie so aesthetically on the ball, it's a shame the screenplay is not the least bit industrious." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Lust, Caution (2007)      "[Lust, Caution] gets around to honouring its pretensions towards truthfulness in a climax that exposes the sham of Blackbook."

[movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Mother of Tears (2008)      "[Marries] CGI to Guignol whimsy in ways so tasteless that you can hear the crackle of Argento's mojo working."

[movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Ryan's Daughter (1970)      "Some hippie-dippiness dates the picture, but the vérité posturing of Lean's peers looks a lot kitschier in retrospect" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      The Chumscrubber (2005)      "Wittier than Not Another Teen Movie, stealthier than Storytelling" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Cinderella (1950)      "The Disney film that comes closest to pure cinema" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Dear Wendy (2005)      "The gay burlesque version of the NRA" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Heading South (2006)      "Cantet's pictures are screwball comedies played straight" [movie review]      Film Freak Central
