Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       1/4      Revolver (2007)      "Jesus, this is a stupid movie." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Defiance (2008)      "It's finally happened: Red Dawn with Russian Jews. You could go your whole life without conjuring something so perverse." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Doubt (2008)      "A pretty well-written acting exercise that has the misfortune of, more often than not, looking as seasick as Battlefield Earth." [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       3.5/4      Youth Without Youth (2007)      "Very much a film of this era, its director returning after a ten-year absence from the cinema with a peculiar little masterpiece about things unrecoverable in time." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      The Spirit (2008)      "Time is better spent, perhaps, trying to pull out of it some sort of insight into why no one called "shenanigans" on this abortion at any point." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)      "bumper stickers as Descartes from a director who, until now, could have been called any number of things, but never patronizing." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Blood and Black Lace (1964)      "Part painting, part tango, the picture is meticulous depravity and rapture, from its Mod-fab tableaux vivant opening credits through to its escalating abomination." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      From Beyond (1986)      "exceptional pulp" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Seven Pounds (2008)      "It makes sense with the notable films of 2008 (the Synecdoches and Wrestlers), it just has the misfortune of sucking." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Vertigo (1958)      "After it, Psycho and the rest of the '60s are only a bitter précis of this thesis of sexual disassociation and identity politics." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Girl on the Bridge (1999)      "A lovely, hopelessly romantic little bauble that catches the light no matter how you turn it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Timecrimes (2008)      "more tantalizing than satisfying" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Wendy and Lucy (2008)      "grim to the point of tedium" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Bolt (2008)      "Let's not underestimate the significance of a workmanlike Disney animation." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Australia (2008)      "Baz Luhrmann's Titanic." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Quantum of Solace (2008)      "Here's an idea: get Adam Shankman to do the next one, from a script by Akiva Goldsman--let's see Bond wriggle out of that one." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Psycho (1960)      "I'd wager there aren't any films that have been more analyzed than Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Bright Lights, Big City (1988)      "Flyblown, devoid of pace and heat; it's such a mortician's slab that it's hard to even tell if the Fox performance is wasted on it, though I suspect it is." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      WarGames (1983)      "What works best about it works still: it's a paranoid film with an ambiguous ending." [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       0.5/4      Nights in Rodanthe (2008)      "I will say this about Nights in Rodanthe: spoken Nicholas Sparks is preferable to written Nicholas Sparks." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Eagle Eye (2008)      "The morons going to Eagle Eye are the ones who would most benefit from its message in spoon-fed form." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Blindness (2008)      "The problem with Blindness is Meirelles' bad habit of making a terrible hash of something already done with more eloquence" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Appaloosa (2008)      "Ed Harris' howler of a vanity piece." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Body of Lies (2008)      "Perfectly workmanlike, unimpeachably prestige-y, achingly contemporary, and a near-complete failure as revelation" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Trouble the Water (2008)      "a diary of missed opportunities" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      W. (2008)      "Manages to paint Jr. as an Oedipal retard unable to shake the disapproval of Papa Bush." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Synecdoche, New York (2008)      "A benchmark for this moment in time. To not recognize that is a bad mistake, and a terrible shame." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)      "There's something wrong with Kevin Smith." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Role Models (2008)      "What works is its canny deployment of reasonable warmth and, hold on to your hats, surprising smarts." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)      "There aren't very many alternatives right at this moment, so expect it to make money out of proportion with its quality." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Shotgun Stories (2007)      "I'm sick of the kind of exceptional that Shotgun Stories represents." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Pineapple Express (2008)      "Tied together by a performance from Franco that has the misfortune of being familiar and human in the middle of a lot of low-aspiring blarney." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Death Race (2008)      "Paul W.S. Anderson makes one kind of movie: the shitty kind." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Lost Boys (1987)      "The picture affirms that the only thing truly important is this image of the older brother with his arm around the younger." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Blue City (1986)      "Suggesting that Judd Nelson is gay as a French holiday is only mildly wittier than suggesting the same of clearly gay Tom Cruise." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Top Gun (1986)      "(Its success) supports the pop-psych analysis that pre-actualized teenage boys are the most homosexual beings in existence." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Encounters At the End of the World (2007)      "A freakshow of social dysfunctions and wild-eyed blue-sky ventures." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Frozen River (2008)      "Not helping is an epilogue that suggests that money can, in fact, buy you love." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Strangers on a Train (1951)      "the work most necessary for a deeper appreciation of Hitchcock's late masterpieces." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)      "The film itself is lovely, a breathless feast of fantasy anchored by an authentic humanism." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Dark Knight (2008)      "Whatever the causes, the effects of The Dark Knight are subtle and powerful. It's rejuvenating, it renews the faith." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Hancock (2008)      "A fascinating film about exploitation as it applies to blacks and the entertainment industry." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)      "sacrifices its undercurrent of pain and abandonment to big-budget special effects" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Seeker (2007)      "a lot of shouting offered up as an ineffectual camouflage to the picture's complete lack of ambition." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Bridge to Terabithia (2007)      "sort of awful, but it goes places most conventional children's entertainments fail to go" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      WALL-E (2008)      "A work of art expressing that the products of our hands can hold, if we look well and deeply, the secrets to our own salvation." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Get Smart (2008)      "A smart update, with a hero who has transformed his humiliations and frailties into, of all things, maturity and empathy." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      The Love Guru (2008)      "Thus Myers marries his two passions (hockey and not being funny) into one noxious ball." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
