1/4
     (2007)      "One great big stinking pile of missed opportunity." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2002)      "If a seven-year-old is really competent to make responsible life choices then Lucy's requests should just be honoured." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2002)      "More about the alchemical nature of movies than the band or their music, the picture is among the very best of the year." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2003)      "Its chief selling point is, damning with faint praise, its complete inoffensiveness." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (1953)      "One of the most astonishing-looking films in all of black-and-white cinematography." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2002)      "The reason we keep seeing the same movie with roughly the same people every year is because so many of us keep going and then, out of embarrassment or stupidity, not warning anyone." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (1943)      "Sultry, claustrophobic, the guilt repressed here is the spectre of slavery stencilled over another abandonment of another wife..." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2004)      "A scarred-up, bare-knuckled fighter in Palookaville, pretty in its pug-ugly grace, and dangerous, too." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "Lovely to behold and almost as lovely to reflect upon." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2004)      "Brickbat socialism in a dimwit populist entertainment. . . The film is about as subtle as a dump truck. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (1994)      "It's bad in the way, in fact, of a film that seems a lot like a good movie until you accidentally think about it for just one second." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2002)      "Dreadfully inanimate for an animated entertainment." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2009)      "Beyond pointless." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "A tricky little beast that fits in peculiarly well with the recent trend of deconstructive horror films." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "A battle between bug-eye theatre and dead-eye matinee." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2006)      "Though it's tempting to laud it for having no pretensions to greatness, it's equally tempting to stay home and laud it from there." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "Another installment in the ongoing Ice Storm chronicles." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "Fabulously workmanlike." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "The niftiest trick perpetrated by The Importance of Being Earnest is the alchemical transmogrification of Wilde into Austen--and a Hollywood-ized Austen at that." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2001)      "There are so many black holes in Impostor that trying to keep track of them would tax Hawking. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2003)      "A limpid, lovely fantasy." [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   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "Suggests just how isolating it can be to balance breaking your back for a job you don't particularly like with enjoying the people for whom you do it in the first place." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "It's a chick-flick, no question, but it's one with half a brain. Not much, but half a brain is half more than expected." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2000)      "Explodes with hope and good will, paying tribute to Georges Méliès and the persistence of cinematic magic along the way." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2005)      "Make love, not war." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2003)      "Perverse and revelatory. . . (it) cuts into the underbelly of human behaviour with a mortician's precision." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2001)      "An emotionally brutal and laudably ambiguous film that does justice to the sober restraint and taint of truth that informs the best of Dubus' work." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2003)      "In thrall to the power of words." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "knowingly absurd but played with deadly earnest." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2004)      "A generally empty, if fitfully amusing, experience." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2006)      "I'm recommending what is essentially a non-film because I agree with its politics and I'd like for more people to agree with me than disagree." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2008)      "[Norton] seems to resent that in the Fight Club food chain, he's Edward Norton and not Brad Pitt." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (1988)      "Ferrigno gifts his beast with a surprising level of humanity. His auto-comparison of his Hulk to Karloff's Frankenstein is actually pretty close to the mark." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (1988)      "Speaks volumes about the inevitability of the metamorphosis of hippie to yuppie, as well as the death of a dream that that transformation encompasses." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2004)      "Every great movement begins with one glorious bound...over tall buildings or otherwise." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (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   
  
1.5/4
     (2001)      "The final and best joke of the film might be that a movie ostensibly spoofing a blowhard of an untalented hulk of a filmmaker is itself the product of the same." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2008)      "A sentimental old fool that retreats back into the utterly, dishearteningly familiar" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2009)      "a war film about war. That's rarer than you think." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2006)      "Something like an avant-garde telling of the myth of Eros and Psyche." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "Not terribly deep as insights go, but when Spike connects on one of his roundhouses, it feels like the gospel." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "There's nothing provocative about this film save for the ways in which it studiously avoids provoking thought." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "Dripping with style and a seedy noir sensibility." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2009)      "an exact replica of The Interpreter in every way that counts and is, therefore, completely, immanently, blessedly forgettable." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2005)      "Raises the spectre of mass murder just so Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn can have a half-dozen really boring conversations." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "Interview with the Assassin impresses most with a super-creepy home-invasion sequence and Berry's fabulous, seething performance." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2001)      "Demonstrates a remarkable courage in its nakedness, and an exasperating lack of focus in its thrust." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "It feels as though Leconte is as sick as we are that he's doing another Leconte movie." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2005)      "Like plastic, extruded action figures involved in a sadistic child's bathtub-masturbation fantasies." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
