Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       1.5/4      Bedlam (1946)      "Lewton had something to say. Perhaps inevitably, he found less interesting ways of saying it over the course of nine films in a short four years." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Isle of the Dead (1945)      "quite bad" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Body Snatcher (1945)      "there's a fascination with the ultimate futility of ever being something beyond opportunistic and solipsistic." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Ghost Ship (1943)      "It's almost noir in its pitting of an individual against a closed society." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Seventh Victim (1943)      "the gauziest, maybe the most influential, surely the most underestimated, Lewton production." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      I Walked With a Zombie (1943)      "Sultry, claustrophobic, the guilt repressed here is the spectre of slavery stencilled over another abandonment of another wife..." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Curse of the Cat People (1944)      "Lewton's masterpiece" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Cat People (1942)      "In its complexity, it functions as a sharp, canny blueprint for the rest of Lewton's pictures." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Where the Wild Things Are (2009)      "the rare work of art in any media that actually evokes the experience of sadness, the sensation of melancholy, the mechanism of regret. We're lucky to have it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      About Last Night... (1986)      "It takes a lot in order for Jim Belushi to be the best actor in something." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      St. Elmo's Fire (1985)      "there's a perceptive, brilliant essay buried somewhere in St. Elmo's Fire on the dangers of deeply, tragically stupid people trying to write the great American novel." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Indecent Proposal (1993)      "Yes, it's true: in this astonishingly distasteful bit of dreck, there is at the bottom a sappy little romance." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Fatal Attraction (1987)      "has the makings of a serious examination of adult relationships and interactions under duress, only to end as a seriocomic slasher film dictated by popular taste." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Zombieland (2009)      "...written so deliberately that the zombies aren't the only ones moaning and craving brains by the end." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Go (1999)      "It's fantastic stuff." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Inglourious Basterds (2009)      "a war film about war. That's rarer than you think." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Sleuth (2007)      "It requires a light touch; I admire Branagh a great deal, but not for his light touch." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      District 9 (2009)      "District 9 is the real deal. Hallelujah." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Funny People (2009)      "a movie about freaks and geeks written by a famous millionaire married to Leslie Mann; is it any wonder that it loses its way?" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Southland Tales (2007)      "It's the sort of experience you feel embarrassed about even though you had nothing to do with it, because it's not just a mess, it's a pretentious mess" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Valkyrie (2008)      "It's the perfect film for our age of reassessment and ambiguity." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Ruins (2008)      "If it could happen to these kids, smart and beautiful, then it sure as shit is going to happen to me." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)      "An ungainly tween romcom sprinkled arbitrarily with a sudden horde of amphibious zombies; inexplicable cameos from Ursa, Non, and Zod; and silly broomstick rugby." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Easy Virtue (2009)      "It's only a surprise if you haven't seen his other films." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Waterworld (1995)      "actually pretty good" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Enchanted (2007)      "Inaugurates an entirely new demographic into the formula machination of the chick-flick (marital edition)." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      27 Dresses (2008)      "there's a desire to see their characters displaced into a better film with more on its mind than to be better than it should be because of its casting director." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      What Happens in Vegas (2008)      "a funny movie about the sexes that doesn't diminish either gender in its execution--a tougher task, obviously, than one would presume." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Catch and Release (2007)      "...harbours a secret crush on Gray but, hey, so does everybody, since Gray has fairies and butterflies flying out of her vagina." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Bride Wars (2009)      "reptilian, hateful stuff, biologically engineered to disrespect--with maximum efficiency--the precise demographic to which it targets itself." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009)      "Beyond pointless." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Public Enemies (2009)      "a collection of beautiful pictures as inert as a coffee-table book." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Roxanne (1987)      "for all the things this movie is, it's probably Martin's fault." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)      "It's all so last administration." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)      "The popularity of over-scored, "let's hug" bullshit like Robin Hood predicts the certainty of a one-term George H.W. presidency better than any number of Gallup polls." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)      "the worst kind of dreck" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)      "It's just like us to be arrogant enough to believe, like Marvell's coy mistress, that our cherry is the ripest for busting of the lot." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Fall (2008)      "I wonder if it's unforgivable heresy to say The Cell is badly underestimated and due for revisionism while The Fall, despite its relative obscurity, is badly overestimated." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984)      "What is 2010 but a conservative Cold War "message" flick." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Up (2009)      "There's still something breathless about Up, but I wonder if the Pixar formula isn't starting to show its seams..." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Being There (1979)      "a product not of Ashby's essential modesty but of Kosinski's essential egoism." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Terminator Salvation (2009)      "shooting guns at things that aren't harmed by guns... following which there will be cheap philosophizing and the promise of another sequel." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Star Trek (2009)      "a Luddite picture wary of the future and reliant on something so simple as being human to be the salvation of the human race." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Tokyo Sonata (2009)      "Tokyo Sonata is Kurosawa allowed at last to make a horror film that reveals that, for him, true horror is being content to accept salvation in the life of a sheep." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Sugar (2009)      "the feeling of it when it's over is exhilaration at time spent with real characters placed in real situations." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)      "appalling, hateful, reptilian, inept" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)      "The action sequences are bad, the plot is bad... Hugh Jackman? He's fine." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Event Horizon (1997)      "You look at Event Horizon as you would something that fell out of someone's nose." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Soloist (2009)      "It's true that Lopez can't cure what ails Ayers--but it sure seems like Grant and Wright have the answer for what ails us." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Monsters vs. Aliens (2009)      "On the bright side, it's short." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
