[movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Nacho Libre (2006)      "'So NACHO LIBRE is not about free Doritos but any way it is from that Jared guy that made that totally bogus movie about me and its pretty SA-WEET any way!' [says Napoleon Dynamite]" [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       --      Naked Boys Singing (2007)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Naked Boys Singing (2007)      "The nudity is graphic but completely asexual and thoroughly unerotic, and I'm not sure that's meant to be the point..." [dvd review]      The Flick Filosopher            The Namesake (2007)      "If you're not a basketcase of sobby, sloppy tears of sadness and joy by the end of The Namesake, then I don't know what's wrong with you." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Nancy Drew (2007)      "[I]t works wonderfully well to make this movie Nancy a bit of a retro throwback. This is how you make a girl stand out today: you make her polite, enthusiastic, bookish, sweet, and wholesome." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            The Nancy Drew: Original Mystery Movie Collection (1938)      "[T]here's an undeniable gosh-darn golden-age charm to her and to these brisk... and spirited adventures..." [dvd review]      The Flick Filosopher            The Nanny - The Complete First Season (1993)      "Fran Drescher’s Flushing-inflected diction could strip paint, and that seems to be the overarching goal of this most intolerable of sitcoms." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Nanny McPhee (2006)      "The comparisons to Mary Poppins may be inevitable, but Nanny McPhee has more in common with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the Gene Wilder, not the Johnny Depp) than it does with anything chim chim cheree..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Napoleon Dynamite (2004)      "[An] endlessly and cheerily ridiculous film... highly intellectually involving..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       6/10      National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)      "Christmas Vacation never quite reaches the levels of suburban-angst rage that other Vacation movies do, but it does have its moments." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (2004)      "As abysmal as the film’s concept is, the execution is unimaginably worse, a stomach-turning orgy of greed, lust, and sordid desperation..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            National Treasure (2004)      "This is spreadsheet filmmaking, soulless and overly designed for maximum box-office effect..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)      "It's not like the Indiana Jones movies were exactly deep and impenetrable: so why do we need Indiana Jones for Dummies?" [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            The Nativity Story (2006)      "Slavishly reverent, it is accidentally hilarious in its earnestness -- and in its sincere attempts at a touch of humor; it will please believers who don't want their faith tested in the least..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Near Dark (1987)      "[A]n intense film, an eerie depiction of the isolated, empty middle of America... surprisingly haunting..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Ned and Stacey - The First Season (1995)      "[S]aved by Haden Church, who maintains a wicked cynicism throughout all 24 episodes that refuses to bow to the sentimental tendencies of the format..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Ned Kelly (2004)      "[A] tricky film, punctuated by bursts of staccato surrealism and bitter humor..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       6/10      The Negotiator (1998)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Never Been Thawed (2006)      "You've heard about geeks who collect all sorts of weird things, but frozen TV dinners?" [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Never Die Alone (2004)      "[A]ll flashy visual angst and, despite its literary pretensions, utterly inconsequential, if bloated with a fervent desire to be seen as Art." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       --      The New Eve (1998)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            New in Town (2009)      "As generic as its title while also yawningly idiotic in its own unique way..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       --      New Police Story (2004)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            New Police Story (2004)      "Is there such a thing as a bad Jackie Chan movie? If nothing else, a Jackie Chan movie always has the endlessly charming Jackie Chan, who's like the Energizer Bunny as played by Harold Lloyd." [dvd review]      The Flick Filosopher            New Statesman - The Complete Series (1987)      "[W]hat's really astonishing is Mayall's comedic brutality: he latches like a bulldog onto B'Stard's malevolence and wrings it dry. Oh so dry." [dvd review]      The Flick Filosopher            New York Minute (2004)      "[T]here’s [a] side to the film that nauseates me: the PG-porn undertone..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Next (2007)      "There are lots of crimes a movie can commit -- being boring, being nonsensical, being implausible, being irrelevant -- but it's the rare movie that can commit all of them in the space of 90 minutes." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Nicholas Nickleby (2002)      "A scrumptious production of deliciously wicked villains and charmingly noble heroes." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)      "[K]inda like Ferris Bueller's Night Out, but way less snarky and way sweeter, and the whole gang is Ferris." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Nicotina (2004)      "[A] loud, engagingly frenetic black comedy..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Night at the Museum (2006)      "[A] lack of appreciation for what the museum truly means to so many people is part of why Night at the Museum ultimately disappoints.... There are moments of sheer geeky fun, if not enough of them." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)      "[A] morass of Three Stooges-level slapstick and juvenile-style playground taunting..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            The Night Listener (2006)      "It’s stylish and classy and beautifully acted... and it so disappoints in the end..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Night Watch (2005)      "[Bekmambetov has] thrown so many ingredients into his concoction that they battle one another for attention and lose all meaning..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       9/10      The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)      "The Nightmare Before Christmas is perhaps the first movie that is delightfully horrible, gruesomely sweet and wholesome." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       3/10      Nightwatch (1998)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       75/100      Nikki - Wild Dog of the North (1961)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Nine Lives (2005)      "[A]dopts the urgency and the immediacy of the stage by eschewing the tricks of film and setting [the] extraordinary cast free in front of the camera..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Ninja Assassin (2009)      " [A] bloody concoction of slasher movie blended with martial arts and a small helping of faux Eastern philosophy..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       3/10      The Ninth Gate (1999)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Nip/Tuck: The Complete First Season (2003)      "[A]udacious and biting..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            No Country for Old Men (2007)      "[N]o Coen human low-pressure system yet has been anything like the nightmare of centered psychosis that is Javier Bardem's Anton Chigurh." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            No Man's Land (2001)      "Tense and, ultimately, emotionally devastating, No Man's Land uses the blackest of humor to create the most subtle of satires." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            No Reservations (2007)      "Honestly, the best thing you can do is go rent Mostly Martha, the 2002 German film this Hollywood remake is based very, very closely on. But if you really can't stand to read subtitles, then this is your next best bet." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Nobel Son (2008)      "It's one of those perfect-crime kinda flicks, wrapped up in familial angst as a black-comedy topping. That it's all rather ridiculous and overly complicates itself in the process is almost beside the point..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Nobody Knows (2005)      "[A] grimly elegant urban fairy tale..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Noel (2004)      "[A] swirl of contrived Christmas Eve ‘magic’ that’s forced and mostly phony and never quite hits the right notes..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Northanger Abbey (2007)      "[H]urries through moments of what should be dreamy fantasy and elides over all the tender romantic suspense that Austen is all about in the first place..."
