Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       4/4      A Scanner Darkly (2006)      "Like the best science-fiction, A Scanner Darkly is about you plus me and the time ticking away on the remainder." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      A Tout de Suite (2005)      "A film of a style and an inclination that fulfills no need, and ultimately does nothing to nourish the soul of the now." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Aberdeen (2001)      "Evokes the long, lonesome noir tableaux of American painter Edward Hopper." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      About a Boy (2002)      "that it'll probably be the best and most mature comedy of the 2002 summer season speaks more of the season than the picture" [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       4/4      About Schmidt (2002)      "About Schmidt is a road film and a character study very much like Five Easy Pieces, and a fable of reconciliation poignant and pointed." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Adaptation (2002)      "Provides a porthole into that noble, trembling incoherence that defines us all." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (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      The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)      "The best thing about a movie this wilfully silly is that it never patronizes its audience for loving it and in the end, that might be the best reason for giving it a chance." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005)      "Of course your children will enjoy it--given enough flashing lights and farting noises, they'll like a George Lucas movie." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Affair of the Necklace (2001)      "Rolled out in limited release in the hopes of making some lists--the last and cruellest irony of The Affair of the Necklace is that it will succeed" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      After the Sunset (2004)      "A moment where Brosnan quietly retracts his fishing pole says volumes about the sadness at the so-to-speak root of this testosterone opera." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Against the Ropes (2003)      "It patronizes us with caricatures for characters. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Agent Cody Banks (2003)      "Just another threadbare, gravely puerile James Bond movie but marketed directly at your children. . . which is something to think about." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Agronomist (2004)      "Freedom to hope that one person, convicted and articulate, can still make a difference." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1973)      "It's a testament to the genius of Aguirre: The Wrath of God that its genesis has spawned its own creation mythology." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      The Alamo (2004)      "A few dollars lighter, a few hours closer to death, get a chance to glimpse your own mortality reflected in the dead, shark-eyed glare of another big-budget prestige picture." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Alex and Emma (2003)      "So precise a distillation of genre cliché that it's at once dada and military." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Alexander (2004)      "Mel Gibson has his 33-year-old martyr with which to identify, now Oliver Stone has a 33-year-old-minus-one-month one of his own." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Alfie (2004)      "An underdog story about over-dogs." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Ali (2001)      "Highlights to either a more ambitious treatment or a more traditional one, living a half-life of borrowed images and stolen verve in the grey zone between." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Alien vs. Predator (2004)      "Without a kinky moment towards the end where it seems like Alexa is going to lay a big wet one on a Predator, there's almost no reason to stay awake." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      All About the Benjamins (2002)      "There's no question that Epps scores once or twice, but it's telling that his funniest moment comes when he falls about ten feet onto his head." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      All or Nothing (2002)      "Spare, unsentimental, moody, and, like many films of this skill and observation, really funny." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            All Over the Guy (2001)      "Bucatinsky has presented gay characters every bit as theatrically neurotic and precious as their straight counterparts." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      All The King's Men (2006)      "Gather 'round and marvel at how little Horner and Zaillian think of their leading man." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      All the Real Girls (2003)      "Serves as an incisive commentary on the extent to which we, as the modern audience, have learned to accept a certain contrived cleverness as the true evocation of love." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      All the Right Moves (1983)      "An ending so unlikely in that forlorn uplift way that an insulin shot should be offered as part of the DVD's packaging." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Alone in the Dark (2005)      "On the short list of Worst Movies Ever Made." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Along Came a Spider (2001)      "You begin to feel like the butt of some absurd joke or embroiled in a wilfully obscure Buddhist koan. What is the sound of one movie sucking?" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Along Came Polly (2004)      "It almost seems as though there are whole scenes missing--the ones containing the punchlines, for example." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Along for the Ride (2000)      "A cautionary tale about the importance of actors putting something away for the future so they don't have to keep working on humiliating tripe well past their prime. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Amadeus (1984)      "The urge to revisit old successes in an attempt to "improve" upon them is a risky venture at best." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Amadeus - Director's Cut (2002)      "The urge to revisit old successes in an attempt to "improve" upon them is a risky venture at best." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Amelie (2001)      "Like most great love songs, however, Amélie is both a touch simple-minded and probably most interesting to the recipient of the serenade." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The American Astronaut (2001)      "Something somewhere between Six-String Samurai and Dead Man (but a science-fiction musical)." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      American Beauty (1999)      "It's like Norman Bates getting good advice from Mother." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      American Gangster (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       1.5/4      American Gun (2002)      "mawkish, unfocused" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      American Outlaws (2001)      "Marks the second time that O'Quinn has been in Young Guns and Dalton in The Rocketeer, leading me to conclude that I've wasted too much of my life watching terrible movies." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      American Psycho 2 (2002)      "The first mistake, I suspect, is casting Shatner as a legendary professor and Kunis as a brilliant college student--where's Pauly Shore as the rocket scientist?" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      An American Rhapsody (2001)      "Over-burdened vignettes that among them share only a desire to manufacture unearned pathos and manipulate events towards the most expedient solution." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      American Splendor (2003)      "The problem with post-modernism is that the end of post-modernism is the destruction of the scrutinized." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      American Wedding (2003)      "Joins the Porky's triptych as teensploitation smut franchises that have made it to three installments." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Americanese (2006)      "It's not the glacial pace that fatigues, but a lack of connection with the characters." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Amityville Horror (2005)      "When filmmakers leave nothing to the imagination, you're left with the product of their imaginations." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Amy's O (2002)      "a nightmare date with a half-formed wit done a great disservice by a lack of critical distance and a sad trust in liberal arts college bumper sticker platitudes." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Anaconda (1997)      "Voight's performance alone is absurd enough to merit the film a look." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Analyze That (2002)      "Sitcom situations cascade and implode into one another like a rusty Slinky jerking its way down diminishing sequel returns." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)      "The whole exercise has the smug feeling of a Kevin Smith film-- a cameo dumpster that doesn't even have the wit to kill Danny Trejo." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
