0.5/4
     (2006)      "Pictures like this exist because people are used to lowering their expectations so much that they're actually irked when someone doesn't." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (1992)      "Cheapo knock-off trash." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (1991)      "At root the most personal mission statement of a vital cinematic voice." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2007)      "Fleming's Nancy Drew isn't just bad, it's fascinatingly bad." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2006)      "Often as garish and shrill as it is magical and enchanting." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "Massages a few angry yuks at the expense of its misfit gallery." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "When Narc works, it works because of the conviction of its leads." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (1978)      "Gonzo made manifest, aided by massive amounts of alcohol and an astringent stupidity too calculated to be stupid." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2004)      "All it is, really, is astonishingly boring, terribly stupid, and, it bears repeating, boring. It's boring. (Also stupid.)" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2006)      "A thunderously boring film so circumscribed in scope and crippled in execution that it's destined to be a minor hit." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1921)      "Keaton is the great metaphysical existentialist: a modernist in the finest sense of the word." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (1987)      "Near Dark remains Kathryn Bigelow's best film, suffused with style and anarchy that has an unerring feel for the irregular pulse of a very particular place and time." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (1970)      "Curiously though, as it so often does, the rare convergence of everything gone wrong makes for pretty compulsive viewing." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2004)      "On-the-sleeve enough to ultimately prove a little embarrassing." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2006)      "What I'm saying is that you don't have to already be a fan." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1960)      "Her earthiness is grounding, the only element keeping the world from spinning off its axis; beware the man, and woe to mankind, for formulating her to a wall." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2002)      "What begins as a potentially subversive take on the inner-city school problem becomes the unlikely film that would be better with more Eddie Griffin." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2005)      "It's a fascinating conceit, this sticky idea that the complexities of the world are held in the walnut shell of Keats' beauty is truth and truth, beauty." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2002)      "Not an ignoble thing, certainly, the presentation is predictably free of any real artistic or philosophical importance." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2004)      "Interesting that the two groups naturally attracted to it are pre-teen girls and dirty old men, and what it does best is teach the one how to be attractive to the other." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (1992)      "If the crick in my neck is any indication, I watched Kenny Ortega's Newsies like a dog hears a new sound. Most probably, my eyebrow was also arched." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2001)      "Irritatingly cutesy and self-satisfied on top of it all, making the picture something of an endurance test besides being a misfire." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (1994)      "Swank, here demonstrating that for as wooden and exasperating as her performance is in this picture, it's the only performance she's ever contributed to any film." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
     (2005)      "Somewhere between "Jackass", "Insomniac with Dave Attell", and "MythBusters"." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1935)      "May be the start of the slide, but it's still pretty close to the top." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (1946)      "An undercooked espionage spoof that takes meek aim at Casablanca a time or two but generally just plays like the mercenary piece of garbage that it is." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (1986)      "I remember sort of loving it when I was twelve, meaning only that twelve-year-olds are idiots." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (1964)      "Would play well on a double-bill with Huston's The Misfits." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (1968)      "A tightly-edited, claustrophobically-framed horror film that retains, along with its relevance, its ability to startle and appall." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2005)      "The world's most convoluted (and expensive) game of Calvin-ball." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
          "If I hear that Stephen King has a great imagination one more time, I'm finally going to sue on behalf of E.C. Comics and "The Twilight Zone"." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2008)      "I will say this about Nights in Rodanthe: spoken Nicholas Sparks is preferable to written Nicholas Sparks." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1994)      "Ole Borendal's Nattevagten is a little more than the sum of its parts--and its parts are pretty damned fine." [dvd review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (1995)      "I suppose a good film could be squeezed from the John Gray school of sexual politics, but not only is Chris Columbus ill-suited to helm it, he is ill-suited to helm any film." [dvd review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "Nine Queens is not only than a frighteningly capable debut and genre piece, but also a snapshot of a dangerous political situation on the verge of coming to a head." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2007)      "A f****** masterpiece." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2004)      "There's not much comedy in this sex comedy. . . not much sex, either." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2005)      "In Kore-eda's quartet of children is all the hopefulness and courage that we hope we're born with--and hope that we haven't outgrown." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2004)      "A terrific picture crouched in the centre of a blasted Icelandic winter." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2007)      "It's a thoughtless, cancerous, viral, irresponsible pollution whose existence speaks ill of the society that produced it and of any society that would endorse or defend it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (1959)      "More than a clearing house for Hitchcock's auteur tendencies." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2005)      "Presents to you a beautifully-painted, one-dimensional piņata it knocks around for a couple of high-falutin' hours until you're showered in a welter of righteous candy." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2003)      "There is a posture of icy remove to the Polish brothers' film that washes everything in the same bleached palette employed in M. David Mullen's faultless cinematography." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1979)      "The film's reason for being (it's a shrine to Herzog's favourite German director) is also the end of the conversation." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2001)      "A willfully bad film that makes fun of inadvertently bad films: the results are predictably unwatchable." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2004)      "It's not every day that you see a movie based on a Billy Joel song, it just seems like it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2005)      "There's nothing really about it that's its own." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2001)      "It's neither funny nor the slightest bit suspenseful, too jumbled and arbitrary to ever sustain much in the way of tension or interest." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
