1/4
     (2008)      "An extravagant, pathetic pageant." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2008)      "It's like an animatronic reproduction of a Jewish mom relationship erected at the world's most racist amusement park." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (1996)      "serves as a devastating, nihilistic attack on the failures--and fascinatingly, the successes--of Argento's oeuvre to this point." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2008)      "Listen, I have a family." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (1961)      "Eddie's true modern progeny is There Will Be Blood's Daniel Plainview, drinking bitter milkshakes since 1961." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2008)      "Garden-variety pop heroism/wish-fulfillment marinated in Robert Downey Jr.'s effortless insouciant sauce." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2008)      "Stripped-down and mean, it honors its character and his artistry." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2008)      "I was really looking forward to this one." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2008)      "A quiet variety of disaster--the type that attracts no cults and appears as a curiosity on a few talented folks' résumés for people to try to place in a year or so. Maybe less." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2008)      "I love James Ellroy--his L.A. Confidential is a work of real genius--but I wonder if he's not something of a one-trick pony. And I wonder if that pony isn't the proverbial dead horse" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2007)      "Austen wrote six novels and The Jane Austen Book Club is about six people who meet to discuss them over the course of six months. 666. Coincidence? I think not." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (1988)      "A gaudy chimera with no other reason for its existence than to be flamboyant to no great end." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1979)      "Boys of my generation memorize the Monty Python repertoire as a buttress against the terror of losing their virginity." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2008)      "It's a film that countryman Uwe Boll would have made had he the budget and the cinematographer" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2008)      "A sly, pitch-black domestic manifesto that's scabrous enough to suggest that if you design your own cage, you'll forget that you're trapped." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2007)      "inert" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2008)      "Teeters throughout at that juncture between masterpiece and piffle." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2008)      "A film that makes Rounders seem like a work of great seriousness and import." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2008)      "[A] populist anti-war polemic." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (1997)      "It predicts the way the world would change in 2001--and how our films would reflect that change." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2007)      "An alien anthropologist identifying humans as insects in man-clothing." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2007)      "Plays like a trivia game for folks pleased to recognize a severed-head-in-a-vise gag from one of the most storied independent success stories of all time." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2007)      "I'm going to be really f****** depressed if Charlie Bartlett isn't the worst, most irresponsible movie I see this year." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (1955)      "A collection of VistaVision postcards." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2007)      "A Sergio Leone epic about the foundation of a specific aspect of the American character." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2008)      "Too good for action, its action is flaccid; too good for hip, its hipsterism is tired." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2007)      "The laughter, I think, comes from a recognition of the shape of our own regrets." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2007)      "Illustrates that the extent to which fundamentalism has tightened its band around our artistic selves is leading both countries (ours and hers) into that old danse macabre." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (1957)      "In declaring it ripe for the MST3K treatment, I'm really saying that if you don't like movies, you might have a good time going after this one." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1956)      "Its most interesting moments are mired in human frailty--in sex, death, betrayal, jealousy, and intoxication." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2007)      "Burton has made some great pictures--Sweeney Todd is the culmination of them." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2007)      "One great big stinking pile of missed opportunity." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (1987)      "deals with Reagan's mad vision of a bellicose, secretive consumer wonderland as the City on the Hill." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2007)      "The worst crime of a film like this is that not only is it retarded, it expects its audience to be retarded as well." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2007)      "You can't spend this much time being too cool for school and earn a sentimental rimshot--it's the boy who cried "human."" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (1972)      "As coffin nails for the sixties go, this negation of all ideological idealism is a pretty final one." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2007)      "A Dorothy Parker poem come to life." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "A fine middlebrow addition to the end-of-year sweepstakes, as good as expected, as bad as feared, and gone without a ripple." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2007)      "A f****** masterpiece." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Things are only as bad as they ever were and there's no life preserver left that's not taking on a dangerous amount of water." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2007)      "Robert Redford's smug, self-satisfied liberal weltschmerz anthem." [movie review]      Film Freak Central

4/4
     (2007)      "If you hear the music, you'll recognize that beneath Anderson's hipster veneer is the low keen of loss and wounds that never close." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2007)      "A naive, poorly-thought out, badly-reasoned left-wing(nut) manifesto that gives the Right all the ammunition it needs." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2007)      "Maudlin, mawkish, unintentionally hilarious, and utterly devoid of human emotion. The word I'm searching for, I guess, is "alien."" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (1967)      "Rather a shame it's so often mistaken for a statement about something beyond the milk-fed adolescent blues." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
