     (2003)      "When 28 Days Later decides to frighten, which it does often, it manages to do so with a kind of ugly vigor." [movie review]      Strange Horizons

2.5/4

3.5/4
     (2002)      "another strong argument for the importance and pervasiveness of digital video in a post-information age" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (1969)      "Plays like how a lot of Eyes Wide Shut probably should have played." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2006)      "Like the best science-fiction, A Scanner Darkly is about you plus me and the time ticking away on the remainder." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2001)      "Evokes the long, lonesome noir tableaux of American painter Edward Hopper." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2002)      "that it'll probably be the best and most mature comedy of the 2002 summer season speaks more of the season than the picture" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2002)      "About Schmidt is a road film and a character study very much like Five Easy Pieces, and a fable of reconciliation poignant and pointed." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2002)      "Provides a porthole into that noble, trembling incoherence that defines us all." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1984)      "The best thing about a movie this wilfully silly is that it never patronizes its audience for loving it and in the end, that might be the best reason for giving it a chance." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2004)      "Freedom to hope that one person, convicted and articulate, can still make a difference." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4

3.5/4
     (2002)      "Spare, unsentimental, moody, and, like many films of this skill and observation, really funny." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2003)      "Serves as an incisive commentary on the extent to which we, as the modern audience, have learned to accept a certain contrived cleverness as the true evocation of love." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1984)      "The urge to revisit old successes in an attempt to "improve" upon them is a risky venture at best." [movie review]      Film Freak Central

3/4
     (2001)      "Like most great love songs, however, Amélie is both a touch simple-minded and probably most interesting to the recipient of the serenade." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2001)      "Something somewhere between Six-String Samurai and Dead Man (but a science-fiction musical)." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Things are only as bad as they ever were and there's no life preserver left that's not taking on a dangerous amount of water." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (1997)      "Voight's performance alone is absurd enough to merit the film a look." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2003)      "One of the finest, most enjoyable, discussions about film since Richard Rush's The Stunt Man." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2003)      "The greatest triumph of the film is Riedelsheimer's ability to offer the audience the artist's perspective." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2003)      "Final Flight of the Osiris" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2001)      "The Anniversary Party is heartfelt and affected in equal part, the product of actors' occasional desire to be understood as human beings." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2001)      "Its sprawling, episodic process evokes the history-as-imagistic mosaic employed by T.S. Eliot, whose work is referenced brazenly and repeatedly throughout the film." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "What most disappoints about Apocalypto is that it is, ironically, not particularly risible in any way." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
     (2004)      "One of the most affecting, heartening family dramas in modern television." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
     (2005)      "The third season is not without the type of moments that make the prior two (especially the second) classic television." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
          "An incendiary, deeply thought-provoking look at one of the most peculiar (and peculiarly venomous) bigotries in our increasingly frightening theocracy" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2007)      "Heroically pretentious." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "More a song about living and dying well than a picture that makes much sense in the traditional definition." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "Grounded in viscera and spit, it delivers the goods with an uncompromising nastiness." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "A gothic fairytale." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (1939)      "exhibits the sort of anarchy that the Marx Bros. once trafficked in with a willful, almost malevolent mayhem." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2006)      "Infused with a whiff of the outsider's stale regret." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2004)      "Scorsese the Hollywood outsider wins with The Aviator, and he comments on the cost of that victory in the same breath." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "Polarizing and potentially galvanizing." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (1956)      "The movie hasn't aged a day in fifty years." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (1983)      "A peculiarly absorbing and sticky film, Baby, It's You is all the more so for its relative uniqueness in Sayles' oeuvre." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "Day-Lewis brings the picture closer, by himself, to the ballad of its title than to the dirge it constantly threatens to be." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2007)      "The laughter, I think, comes from a recognition of the shape of our own regrets." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "Even when it falters, Barbershop 2 is sharp and hilarious." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2005)      "It's all about fear and loathing, this high profile, big-budget product of a post-millennial United States--and it's about as good as it gets." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2001)      "A painful portrait of that confused liminal period between childhood and sexual maturity." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
