[movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Rabid (1977)      "A strong indicator of the auteur's obsessions but lacks the sustained energy and invention of most of his other work." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Rachel Getting Married (2008)      "The only real surprise is that someone doesn't break into "Burning Down the House" at the rehearsal dinner." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Racing Stripes (2005)      "Low, venal entertainment." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Radio (2003)      "Cuba Gooding Jr.'s characterization reminds, of all things, of that acorn-crazed, pre-verbal prehistoric squirrel from Ice Age." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Rain (2002)      "Beyond the native complexities of its visuals, Rain impresses with its canny narrative." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Raising Helen (2004)      "Raising Helen should be rated by one of those toxic materials symbols." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Rana's Wedding (2002)      "So clearly a product of our collective kingdom of frustration and rubble, that she can't help but give voice to a universal howl." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Ratatouille (2007)      "At first glance, this is Bird's lightest film; upon further reflection, it deepens into perhaps his most substantive." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Rats (2002)      "the picture isn't so much about even something so banal as eco-paranoia, but about itself and the genre that it simultaneously lampoons and aspires to." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Ray (2004)      "Foxx is going to win the Oscar in a couple of months." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Read My Lips (2002)      "Suffused with intelligence, courage, and the unmistakable taint of life." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Reaping (2007)      "Has consummate, dedicated emptiness as its only lingering aftertaste." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Reckless + Wild (2001)      "The indie version of The Sweetest Thing." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Reckoning (2004)      "A whored-up take on In the Name of the Rose, itself no fresh Irish rose, come to think of it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Recording the Producers: A Musical Romp with Mel Brooks (2001)      "It's fun for the neophyte, and probably indispensable for the fan" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Recruit (2003)      "Two acts in search of a third." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Red Dawn (1984)      "The smartest/dumbest movie of 1984." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Red Dragon (2002)      "The great tragedy of the exercise is the jaw-dropping number of once-courageous talent who collaborated in its mindless, avaricious creation." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Red Eye (2005)      "It's a minor film, no question, but it's also one that could exist in no other time with this kind of resonance." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Redbelt (2008)      "Stripped-down and mean, it honors its character and his artistry." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Reign of Fire (2002)      "The process of figuring out the moment the movie re-imagines the Battle of the Bulge with a bare-chested guardsman and a pike is more than worth the price of admission." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Reign Over Me (2007)      "What these men need is a shot of Adult Contemporary Movie perspective." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Rendition (2007)      "A naive, poorly-thought out, badly-reasoned left-wing(nut) manifesto that gives the Right all the ammunition it needs." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Rent (2005)      "Broad stereotypes engaged in shallow versions of complex issues." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Rescue Dawn (2007)      "Exactly no more and no less than what it is." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            Rescue Me - The Complete First Season (2004)      "Three prescriptions--for insomnia, depression, and impotence--speak concisely to the state of medicated post-modern man: asleep, happy, and erect." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Resident Evil (2002)      "Resident Evil isn't a product of its cinematic predecessors so much as an MTV, sugar hysteria, and PlayStation cocktail." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)      "An awful sequel to an awful film." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Resist!: To Be With the Living (2004)      "A refutation that everything is lost to apathy in a modern age." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Respiro (2003)      "A picture that cherishes the cinematic flourish as much as the poignant phrase." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Return (2004)      "Zvyagintsev talks about boys needing their fathers and couches it in terms poetic and mesmerizing." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      The Return of the King (1980)      "While both could have benefited from higher aspirations, they have an agreeable and clockwork aptitude (dreary late-70's bearded folksinger interludes not withstanding). " [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Return of the Living Dead (1985)      "Turns a satirical eye on Reagan's hawkish heart, the sprung logic of Italian zombie movies, and John Hughes' brat-pack films." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Return of the Secaucus Seven (1981)      "a peculiarly literate lack of focus indicative of a brilliant novelist moonlighting, at this point, as a filmmaker." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Revolutionary Road (2008)      "you outgrow these arguments--you only hope that the entertainments intended to illuminate as you get more curious have the decency to mature at the same pace" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Revolver (2007)      "Jesus, this is a stupid movie." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Rhinoceros Eyes (2004)      "A lovely, dark fairy tale told in unembarrassed allegory with verve and intelligence." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Rick (2003)      "A new mythology with new morals for a rough, uncertain age." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Riding Giants (2004)      "Equal parts ecstatic archival sports video and hagiography of the pioneers of the deep water." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Ring (2002)      "The Ring is fine cinema, blessed with an unusual respect for the horror genre and its own inherent silliness." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Ring Two (2005)      "Deadly dull, frequently hilarious." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Ripley's Game (2002)      "Representative of the fear and loathing attendant to the death rattle of domestic culture. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Ritual (2001)      "the "Tales from the Crypt" brand's predilection for cheap T&A and gore gags feel like a betrayal more than good, clean, exploitation fun." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Road (2009)      "And unlike the better-than-the-book No Country for Old Men, it's only as good as the book. I guess I'm saying there's enough blame to go around." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Road to Perdition (2002)      "Suffers from its timid parsing of the barn-side target of sons trying to breach gaps in their relationships with their fathers." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)      "The popularity of over-scored, "let's hug" bullshit like Robin Hood predicts the certainty of a one-term George H.W. presidency better than any number of Gallup polls." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Robocop (1987)      "deals with Reagan's mad vision of a bellicose, secretive consumer wonderland as the City on the Hill." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Robots (2005)      "A picture made by artists who have some imagination wrestling with a screenplay by professional hand-crankers Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel that doesn't have any." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            Rock Star (2001)      "Becomes another tired cautionary tale of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
