3/4
     (2003)      "Coasts on the kind of moxie that hazards a reference to Dragonslayer in the middle of its Guignal horrorshow." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2005)      "The quality of pointed inquiry is not completely in vain, whatever ugliness scatters before the shining of that light." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "The Calling offers more than its share of delicious The Good Son fromage. You honestly couldn't expect any more, and shouldn't." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2003)      "like nothing so much as a William Asher beach blanket bomb-o" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (1992)      "One of the best of the end-of-the-eighties/start-of-the-nineties body mortification films." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2005)      "Sexy in a ghoulish way when it fails to be sexy in a revelatory way." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2003)      "It's dangerous, incandescent, and essential, a picture that exhausts and stimulates." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2004)      "A prosaic slog." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2004)      "What most disappoints, then, is the film's aggressive ordinariness." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "The whole shebang feels a lot like a super-extended preview of subsequent seasons of the show." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (1956)      "Carousel on screen is something less, alas." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2006)      "Pixar's corporate merging with Disney makes more sense now." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2003)      "dramatically inert" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1942)      "Wars come and go, but that sense of cascading entropy is eternal." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2005)      "A shrivelled little romantic comedy." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "Call it "caveman vérité."" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (1998)      "Answers the never-asked questions of "whatever happened to: Shelley Duvall, poor, unrecognizable Teri Garr, Cathy Moriarty, George Hamilton, Vincent Schiavelli, Alan Thicke, and Pauly Shore?"" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (1997)      "Taking place in a scary netherworld where up is down, black is white, and Steve Guttenberg, Rodney Dangerfield, Lori Loughlin, Pauly Shore, and Richard Moll still have careers." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1986)      "Interesting for the Miyazaki scholar for sure but still feeling its way in terms of the connectivity and brilliance of Miyazaki's later plots." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1979)      "Missing is a sense of completion and the deeper examination of themes that one will come to associate with the director's work." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (1968)      "Almost all padding, with a few cheap racial stereotypes to spice up the stew." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (1971)      "Nicknamed "The Italian Hitchcock," I would be more comfortable classifying Dario Argento as "The Italian DePalma:"" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (1958)      "A mousetrap with teeth that grip and a musky atmosphere of frustrated sex and milky desperation that serves as poisoned bait." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (1942)      "In its complexity, it functions as a sharp, canny blueprint for the rest of Lewton's pictures." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "With the frantic, infernal energy (and cats) and even a little of the barbed social satire of Mikhail Bulgakov's Master and Margarita." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "Welles groupie/scholar Peter Bogdanovich took a long time to do it, but he's finally provided his own broadside at publishing giant William Randolph Hearst." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (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   
  
4/4
     (2002)      "Fascinatingly, Catch Me If You Can resembles Hitchcock's self-mocking self-awareness - a canny satire of American culture and cinema, and, shockingly, a slyly autobiographical auto-critique." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "The only surprise is that it doesn't wear out its welcome before it's over." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2004)      "It's bad enough that not only are careers over, but somebody should be slapped." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "If you gotta rip something off, might as well be a classic." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2001)      "A fine and a courageous film, crazy enough to suggest that the yammering of an idiot is the truest paladin of order in the chaos of Eliot's rat's alley." [dvd review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
          "They should've called it "The Cell 2: Poor Frank Whaley."" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2004)      "At last, a film for all the yahoos with a cell phone soldered onto their ears." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2001)      "Its sub-theme of unrequited passions is the overriding irony in that the picture itself suffers from a bit of the ol' interruptus at the decisive point of climax." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "A story and character-driven reminder of the classic paranoia cinema of Arthur Penn and Alan Pakula; if only it ultimately displayed the courage of the same." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2003)      "A hash of a diatribe, parading its hypocrite champions, trading in misanthropy, with a puzzling sense of self satisfaction." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "A plastic patina of thin freakshow-ism that, at times, seems perverse merely for the sake of it." [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   
  
0/4

0/4
     (2002)      "A celluloid chlamydeous test and a complete waste of precious life." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "Given too much time to consider the looseness of the piece, the picture begins to resemble the shapeless, grasping actors' workshop that it is." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2008)      "the curative to the Hollywood biopic formula" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4

2.5/4
     (2002)      "One half a fantastic film tied to one half a terrible film." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2002)      "The film is more promising as a continuation of a welcome trend than an unqualified success." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2005)      "Disney eradicated their hand-drawn animation department for this?" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2006)      "The miracle of Cuarón's films is that he presents the sanctity of our feelings for our children in ways as rugged, terrifying, and unsentimental as childhood." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (1964)      "Dimwitted, obvious, subpar in every way." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
