     (1999)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Bad Movie Night   
  
0/4
     (2008)      "It's a film that countryman Uwe Boll would have made had he the budget and the cinematographer" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (1960)      "slow-paced hokum that gives lie to the belief that the horror movies of yesteryear are very much better than those of today" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (1960)      "Besides an incomprehensible plot and scenes that follow one another without a passing acquaintance to continuity, 13 Ghosts also fails to provide thirteen ghosts" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "Another flick that makes you want to read the first draft of the screenplay to see exactly how much of it was sanitized for your delicate sensibilities." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2007)      "Yes, it's that kind of film--what kind of film did you think it was going to be?" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2001)      "15 Minutes is a hypocrite of the worst kind, and one that points to the need for more films like John McNaughton's unrelentingly appalling Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2006)      "An ending so Pollyannaish that I expected a chorus of animated daisies to jump out of somebody's ***." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2003)      "An example of what can happen when the lowest common denominator meets a director in sulky decline." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (1984)      "What is 2010 but a conservative Cold War "message" flick." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "Wong might be making a stab at illustrating self-destruction as the only possible aftermath of arriving late at the station to greet the love of your life." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2008)      "A film that makes Rounders seem like a work of great seriousness and import." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "Not flawless by any stretch, 24 Hour Party People has an ear to the spirit of a time pitch-perfect and infectious." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "A fascinating failure, but a failure all the same." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2008)      "there's a desire to see their characters displaced into a better film with more on its mind than to be better than it should be because of its casting director." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2007)      "The first great surprise of 2007." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2006)      "I'd love a peek at the keyboard Fitzgerald uses to conjure his screeds: I've never seen one sledgehammered into dust and splinters before." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
4/4
     (2005)      "Just unbelievably good." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2007)      "Doomed to have its best scenes mistakenly remembered as parts of better movies." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2007)      "Until the wheels come off, 300 has about it a certain lean, alien quality." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Scarily implies that the bad guys now were playing along all along." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2002)      "It's dangerous stuff that shouldn't be dismissed lightly." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "A comedy about loss, literally and figuratively." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2004)      "That 50 First Dates is awful is no surprise--that it appears to have had the potential to be great is just heartbreaking." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
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   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "By its crowd-pleasing finale, 8 Mile is well on its way to becoming redundant at best and facile at worst." [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   
  
2/4
     (2005)      "A film of a style and an inclination that fulfills no need, and ultimately does nothing to nourish the soul of the now." [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   
  
0.5/4
     (1986)      "It takes a lot in order for Jim Belushi to be the best actor in something." [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   
  
2/4
     (1988)      "A gaudy chimera with no other reason for its existence than to be flamboyant to no great end." [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   
  
0/4
     (2005)      "Of course your children will enjoy it--given enough flashing lights and farting noises, they'll like a George Lucas movie." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2001)      "Rolled out in limited release in the hopes of making some lists--the last and cruellest irony of The Affair of the Necklace is that it will succeed" [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2004)      "A moment where Brosnan quietly retracts his fishing pole says volumes about the sadness at the so-to-speak root of this testosterone opera." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2003)      "It patronizes us with caricatures for characters. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2003)      "Just another threadbare, gravely puerile James Bond movie but marketed directly at your children. . . which is something to think about." [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
     (1973)      "It's a testament to the genius of Aguirre: The Wrath of God that its genesis has spawned its own creation mythology." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0/4
     (2004)      "A few dollars lighter, a few hours closer to death, get a chance to glimpse your own mortality reflected in the dead, shark-eyed glare of another big-budget prestige picture." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2003)      "So precise a distillation of genre cliché that it's at once dada and military." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1/4
     (2004)      "Mel Gibson has his 33-year-old martyr with which to identify, now Oliver Stone has a 33-year-old-minus-one-month one of his own." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
1.5/4
     (2004)      "An underdog story about over-dogs." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2.5/4
     (2001)      "Highlights to either a more ambitious treatment or a more traditional one, living a half-life of borrowed images and stolen verve in the grey zone between." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
0.5/4
     (2004)      "Without a kinky moment towards the end where it seems like Alexa is going to lay a big wet one on a Predator, there's almost no reason to stay awake." [movie review]      Film Freak Central   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "There's no question that Epps scores once or twice, but it's telling that his funniest moment comes when he falls about ten feet onto his head." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
