     (2006)      "Think of all the great men throughout entertainment history who have sought the Holy Grail: King Arthur. Indiana Jones. MacGyver. Robert Langdon? See, it just doesn't work." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2007)      "An excruiciating stew of kindergarten-level toilet humor and absurd (and false) sentimentality..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2003)      "Antisocial, semipsychotic toddlers treated as amusing? Check." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (1987)      "Delightfully bizarre, in a pecularily British way, and a spectacular hoot..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (1978)      "Damien is really just more of the same as The Omen." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2009)      "[A]n absolutely thrilling story, one both hilarious and poignant, about a man who is downright classical in his flaws... Michael Sheen, who always has a hint something impish and elven about him, is absolutely perfect..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2007)      "[I]f you can manage to get through Dan in Real Life without falling madly in love with both Binoche and Carell... then you're a better man than I am, Charlie Brown." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
6/10
     (1999)      "Far from unwatchable, this provocative film is still haunting and irritating me days later, and that's probably the best reaction any artist could hope to elicit with his works." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
9/10
     (1990)      "This is a majestic requiem for a world that is gone." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
9/10
     (1998)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2003)      "[T]hinks it is elegantly spare and is instead merely dull..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2002)      "[The] animated sequences, candy-colored and typically comic-booky over the top, only underscore, by stark contrast, the film’s unvarnished depiction of teenage life as hard, confusing, and awkward." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
          "Who knew that finding 'the courage to love again' could be so damn boring?" [dvd review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2003)      "The enticing semi-psychotic dark-side sexiness of Michael Keaton’s Batman? Not for Ben. The square-jawed all-American nice-guy appeal of Christopher Reeve’s Superman? Ben says Thanks but no." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2007)      "[A]s frustratingly overwhelming as the whole thing may seem, what Braun shows us here is that, yes, ordinary people can do extraordinary things..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2007)      "Can a movie be both cartoonish and authentic at the same time? That's what Anderson achieves, always, and it's bittersweet and hilarious and makes you want to cry with the perfection of it..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2003)      "The usual clichés get reanimate[d] with grim style." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2001)      "The Sveráks have made a glorious, tremendously knowing film." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
3/10
     (1998)      "And what happened in the theater after we all endured Dark City? One pair of hands applauded, and someone in the back of the theater yelled, 'Oh, shut up!'" [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2008)      "If Dark Knight is a nightmare of particularly modern neuroses, then Batman/Bruce Wayne are a tiny ray of hope upon awakening." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (1991)      "[D]eliciously, histrionically goofy: the performances are hilariously awful, the plot ridiculously soapy, the general outrageousness of it just gloriously absurd..." [dvd review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2005)      "[T]he relentless psychological desolation that rumbles ominously throughout is unique, and elevates it above most of the genre." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
9/10
     (1990)      "This is the kind of dark, psychotic hero who could have kept us blackly entertained for years." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2003)      "[T]he only scary thing about Darkness is how shockingly inept director Jaume Balagueró is..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2003)      "Since when does the Tooth Fairy inspire terror? Guess what? She still doesn’t." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher

     (2006)      "We can thank Darkwing Duck for paving the way for the likes of the far superior, far more subversive superhero parody The Tick, but it suffers greatly by comparison." [dvd review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2006)      "It's kinda like science fiction -- one of those post-the-collapse-of-nature dystopias of the 1970s -- except it's real..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2006)      "You don't have to be a fan of hip-hop or even of Dave Chappelle's comedy to get a huge kick out of this expansive, generous, get-up-and-dance film." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2004)      "[M]aybe the first slasher/zombie/splatter horror flick that feels like a part of the post-9/11 world, full of a chaotic, why-me panic..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (1983)      "[T]he most realistic depiction of nuclear war ever created for family consumption, they told us. No, scratch that: ABC hyped that, preying on our anxieties..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2004)      "It’s all preposterously over the top yet scary as hell, in a visceral, pit-of-the-stomach way, and I can’t wait to see it again." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2001)      "A scathing indictment of the harsh, stifling treatment of women in Iran." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2007)      "At an hour and 10 minutes... I was itching with boredom... Unfortunately, with the film's excruciating running time of two hours and 20 minutes, my ordeal had reached only the halfway point." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (1990)      "Cars. Cars cars cars cars. Vroom! Vroom vroom vroom! Crash! Tom and Nicole have sex! Cars cars vroom vroom! Crash! Vroom!" [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2004)      "There’s something a little bit scary about this cascade of daytime soaps at their most outrageously soapy." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher

     (2004)      "[A]s much a valentine to Porter as a biography of him... redolent with romantic history..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2006)      "None of these little tales goes quite where you expect it will, which would make it riveting enough, but every single performance is a wonder of surprising emotion..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2003)      "[M]anages to hit every imaginable wrong note..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2001)      "The over-the-top finale is hilarious, but it was only then that I realized the film was supposed to be an out-and-out comedy. Maybe it's a Japanese thing, but I don't really get it." [short review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2003)      "[A]bsolutely worth a look for American fans of British drama even if much of the political stuff will go over our heads, because of the intense performances by Sheen and... Morrissey..." [dvd review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2005)      "[T]he feeling of concrete, this-ain't-science-fiction reality the film creates is effectively low-key eerie..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2005)      "[C]reates a heartbreaking kind of suspense that leaves you aching for everyone..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2004)      "[B]risk and wickedly pointed..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2007)      "This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen... [It's] practically Shakespearean in its exquisite foolishness and comedic intrigue..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2008)      "[T]he only thing deadly about it is how dull it is..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2007)      " Why does it think it's serious drama when it's actually something closer to a parody of Charles Bronson movies?" [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2007)      "Fans and industry watchers who wonder whether Radcliffe has what it takes to turn his increasingly sophisticated performances in [Harry Potter] into a full-blown adult career as an actor... can see for themselves: the kid's got talent..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher   
  
     (2007)      "There's a reason why we don't often see the black comedy combined with the romantic comedy: it rarely works." [dvd review]      The Flick Filosopher
