Tomato 4/4 |
Rabid (1977) |
"David Cronenberg's underrated second film continues to develop his theme of body manipulation." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Race You to the Bottom (2007) |
"I nearly gave up after an incredibly awkward, self-conscious first five minutes, but eventually writer/director Russell Brown finds his groove and sustains it for a long while." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"It's a superb achievement, and Demme's best foray into fiction since The Silence of the Lambs." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Rachel, Rachel (1968) |
"Woodward carries everything with her faultless performance." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Radio Days (1986) |
"A perfect mixture of laughs and heartbreak, it's one of the ones I can see over and over again." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Raging Bull (1980) |
"The boxing sequences have little to do with reality, but cinematically they explode." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) |
"Allows for a certain worldliness, cautiousness, and darkness in Indy's character. He's far from reckless or noble." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Railroaded (1947) |
"A taut "B" picture." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Rails & Ties (2007) |
"The younger Eastwood tells her story with sledgehammer blows." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Rainmaker (1997) |
"The Rainmaker is easily the best of the Grisham movies so far, and it has touches of excellence, but it's a routine work." |

Rambo (2008) |
"Stallone's previous film, Rocky Balboa (2006), was a highly personal and surprisingly touching film. But Rambo shows no such justification for its existence." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Rambo - First Blood Pt. 2 (1985) |
"Qualifies as a guilty pleasure, a good-bad 'B' movie." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat |
Rambo III (1988) |
"It's a very bad film, but now has an interesting element when viewed in retrospect -- Rambo goes to Afghanistan to fight with the Mujaheddin against the Soviets." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Ran (1985) |
"It's a clean, pure 160 minutes of film and a masterpiece." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Rancho Notorious (1952) |
"Because the small budget kept Lang sequestered on the studio lot, he found a way to use the sets for their claustrophobic, caged feel." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
Random Hearts (1999) |
"A kind of thriller/drama/romance that has an interesting idea and doesn't know where to go with it." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Rashomon (1950) |
"I suspect that most people who come to Japanese cinema first enter it through Kurosawa." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Rat Race (2001) |
"When I saw it, I didn't laugh more than three times. But in recalling the film now, it seems a lot funnier." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ratatouille (2007) |
"Peter O'Toole's performance as the critic Anton Ego is worthy of another Oscar nomination." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Ratcatcher (2000) |
"An unforgettable, haunting film with a daring immediacy that finds poetry in ugliness and decay." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |

Re-Animator (1985) |
"A clever, madcap mid-80s cult classic combining sinister comedy with bloody horror." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Read My Lips (2002) |
"The deafness factor comes into play minimally. Though I knew it was possible, I can't tell you how refreshing it feels to finally see it on film." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Reader (2008) |
"Writer David Hare and director Stephen Daldry don't seem particularly interested in the material; rather, the picture seems cranked out by a computer that has been programmed to make Oscar nominees." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Real Dirt on Farmer John (2007) |
"Despite the film's goofy title and quirky imagery, it's a hugely depressing tale." |

Reality Bites (1993) |
"Gen Xers looking for a good time probably found themselves cheated at having been pigeonholed like this and watching the film's fun, ironic beginning give way to goopy pathos." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Reaping (2007) |
"The film's most aggravating trait is its scare technique... which is more like listening to a noisy neighbor than being scared." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |

Rear Window (1954) |
"A brilliant idea for a movie." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Rebecca (1940) |

Red (1994) |
"The most complicated and most celebrated of the trio." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Red Angel (1966) |
"Masumura gives one of the most brutal portraits of war ever filmed, leveling his finger not at the war itself, but at the mentality of the people who wage it." |

Red Diaper Baby (2004) |
"Red Diaper Baby is a beginner's monologue and doesn't have the sophistication or focus of Kornbluth's later works, but it's still very funny and quietly effective." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat .5/4 |
Red Dragon (2002) |
"The film oozes contempt for its audience, caring nothing for the characters or suspense and only craving money." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Eye (2005) |
"Begins as a tense, well-written and brilliantly directed psychological thriller." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |

Red Lights (2004) |
"Events never transpire as one would expect from a more conventional thriller." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Red River (1948) |
