[movie review]      Film Freak Central            L.I.E. (2001)      "Thoughtful, thought-provoking, and refreshingly free of the dim-witted pandering that is endemic to coming-of-age films." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Labyrinth (1986)      "That the whole mess of Labyrinth was entertaining once to a child is a precarious gauge of quality." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Ladder 49 (2004)      "I hate this film." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Ladies in Lavender (2005)      "Embalmed in a thick oil of expansive inoffensiveness." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Lady in the Water (2006)      "The new film by M. Christ Shyamalan." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Lady Vengeance (2005)      "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance is out to ruin you." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Ladykillers (2004)      "A Fargo without that crucial, defining final speech about the beauty of a new day dawning." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Lagaan (2001)      "Two hours of melodramatic musical married to two hours of underdog sports intrigue, if the picture also shares the weaknesses of both genres, more's the pity." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Lake House (2006)      "Genuinely insipid." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Lakeview Terrace (2008)      "LaBute's message has consistently been that no matter the privileges society affords, we're all just bad monkeys in the end." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Lantana (2001)      "it's walking a perilous tightrope with "too stagy" on the one side and "too affected" on the other, teetering and yawing alarmingly at times" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)      "There remains the essential truth (and Tomb Raider 2's fiscal failure speaks to this) that even without analysis, there needs to be some meat on the bone." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)      "Mostly incomprehensible but theoretically enjoyable for a teenaged boy, like a visit to Hooters might be enjoyable...for a teenaged boy." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Last Castle (2001)      "If it's possible, Lurie is actually getting worse as a director." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Last Days (2005)      "Full of a mad melancholy almost unbearable in its terrible beauty." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Last Holiday (2006)      "Georgia saves the world one Abramoff at a time." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Last Laugh (1924)      "One of the darkest commentaries (intra- and extratextually) on the cost of comfort and compromise in art and life." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Last Life in the Universe (2004)      "Lost in Translation for grown-ups." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Last Orders (2002)      "Like most trips to bountiful, end of the line pilgrimages make for winsomely plodding fare." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      The Last Samurai (2003)      "The phantom of the real deal, Zhang Yimou's astonishingly Zen Hero, lurks in the wings. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Last Unicorn (1982)      "Weighted with moments of surprising power yet undone by crazed-crank nickelodeon pacing." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Last Warrior (2001)      "It isn't so much a boring and preposterous series of nothings as it is a desperate cry for help from a smart man who has no aptitude for his chosen vocation" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Last Warrior (2001)      "That Candy hasn't been plundered by an institution populated entirely by psychotic inmates is only mildly surprising when taken with larger questions" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Laura (1944)      "A camp classic of a very particular variety." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Laurel Canyon (2003)      "It reminds of what Cholodenko is capable--and of the promise that she might get there again." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Lauryn Hill - MTV Unplugged 2.0 (2002)      "One thing to fulfill the sophomore jinx, another altogether to reach a career nadir that calls into question the wisdom of one's career path." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Laws of Attraction (2004)      "Boasts the over-polished sheen of an apple waxed and stroked so many times that it's more aesthetically impressive than palatable." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Layer Cake (2005)      "Infused with a healthy dose of nastiness and post-modern irony." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)      "When you get this close to the absolute nadir of cinema, subtle measures of relative merit just don't mean much anymore." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Leatherheads (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      Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde (2003)      "The idealization of the magnificent dimwit: tilting at intellectual windmills and looking fabulous." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Legend of Suriyothai (2003)      "A George Lucas film set in 16th century Thailand (Siam) complete with plucky girl heroes, angst-driven boy kings, and lots of beheadings." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Legend of Zorro (2005)      "I could feel my life siphoning out of me as this masterpiece entered its third hour." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Legion of the Dead (2000)      "Sort of like how I imagine Samuel Beckett would read while huffing accelerant." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)      "A fabulously-outfitted sideshow attraction without much going on under the big top: all circus, precious little bread." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Leopard Man (1943)      "predicts the skeezy, south of the border noir of Touch of Evil" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Less Than Zero (1987)      "The quality of dislocation in Marek Kanievska's Less Than Zero is startling and sinister." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Lessons of Darkness/Fata Morgana (1971)      "Lays the groundwork for Herzog's masterpiece Aguirre: The Wrath of God." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Lessons of Darkness/Fata Morgana (1971)      "A fable of the steady deconstruction." [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)      "Finally finishes a thematic trilogy begun with Unforgiven and A Perfect World." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Levity (2003)      "Sort of Frank Capra without the subtlety." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Liam (2001)      "The greatest tragedy of Liam is that it doesn't have the courage to carry its own modest convictions through to the end." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Lianna (1983)      "Marred by some stilted performances, a painfully dated soundtrack, and an opening half-hour that skirts the razor's edge of painful didacticism." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (1999)      "A bulging photo album of carefully cropped idolization, its saving grace that the affable, unaffected Greenberg appears a worthy recipient of all that devotion." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004)      "A work about conflict, it is itself conflicted, torn between the confidence of a gifted filmmaker and the insecurity of a gifted writer." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Life as a House (2001)      "Adrift in a turbid morass of Forrest Gump-isms" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      The Life of David Gale (2003)      "Politicism is charted on a circle, and the extremes of both ends tend to meet at the bottom." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Life or Something Like It (2002)      "An unwise amalgam of Broadcast News and Vibes." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Liliom (1934)      "A major work, a masterpiece." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
