Tomato
4/5

F For Fake (1976)

"One of Welles' most engaging -- and slyly creative -- works."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

F/X (1986)

No article available.

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

A Face in the Crowd (1957)

"The remarkable thing about A Face in the Crowd is the way in which this 50-year-old film only seems to become only more relevant with the passing of time."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Facing the Giants (2006)

"For it to have any appeal for persons who do not share the movie's beliefs would indeed be miraculous -- it's appallingly bad as anything other than a sermon."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Factory Girl (2007)

"This isn't much more than an A&E biographical fluff piece -- with boobs, bad language and an attempt to turn the story into a warped love triangle."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Fade to Black (1980)

"Interesting idea, lame execution"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Fahrenheit 451 (1966)

"Intellectually engaging, dramatically kind of dull."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

"Distilling the material into this form gives it an enormity that doesn't exist when the various pieces are disseminated by different sources over months, even years."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Fail-Safe (1964)

"Still impressive Cold War thriller from a time when WW III seemed inevitable."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Failure to Launch (2006)

"Failure to Launch isn't even a one-trick pony. It's a no-trick pony. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Faithless (2001)

"Slow, but involving Ullman-Bergman collaboration."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The Fall of the House of Usher (1960)

"Corman's bid for respectability nearly works."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Fame (1980)

"Not always believable, but energetic and enjoyable."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

Fame (2009)

"I think the term 're-imagining' is code for 'dumbing down.' 'Re-imagining' may sound better, but the results are unchanged."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Family Business (1989)

"Star-studded cliched rubbish"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Family Plot (1976)

"Hitch's swan song and a pretty good one."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

The Family Stone (2005)

"One of those films that succeeds not because it surprises you, but because it does what you want it to do -- and it does so pretty well. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The Fan (1981)

"Enjoyably campy trash."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Fancy Pants (1950)

"So-so Bob Hope version of Ruggles of Red Gap. Bright songs help."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Fanny (1961)

"Overblow but entertaining thanks to Boyer and Chevalier."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Fanny and Alexander (1982)

"One of the filmmaker's most personal and finely detailed works."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Fantasia (1940)

"Though uneven, Fantasia is a film like no other and a milestone of filmmaking. "

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

Fantastic Four (2005)

"Unlike most recent comic-book adaptations, Fantastic Four doesn't think it's about anything. In fact, it's doubtful that the film thinks, period. "

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

"The good news is that it doesn't think it's Shakespeare, Citizen Kane and grand opera all rolled into one. The bad news is that it still isn't any good."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

"Witty, quirky, individual -- and the result is just possibly the most pure fun you'll have at a movie all year."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Fantastic Planet (1973)

"Cult film that never was all that good and now looks pretty cheesy."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Fantastic Voyage (1966)

"Great effects, great premise, not very exciting movie"

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

The Fantasticks (1995)

"Truth to tell, it's exactly the kind of musical pointed out by people who say they just don't like musicals. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Far From Heaven (2002)

"This is the best movie Douglas Sirk never made, dealing from a brilliantly stacked deck to create something that is Sirk magnified."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Farewell, My Lovely (1975)

"Truly fine neo-noir compares favorably with the 1944 version."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

The Farmer's Daughter (1947)

"Charming film of a type completely absent these days."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Fast & Furious (2009)

"People drive fast, perform improbable stunts, things blow up, and the leads glare at each other a lot."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)

"Has a cult following that I am hard-pressed to grasp."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Fatal Attraction (1987)

"It's nothing but a Friday the 13th flick for people who wouldn't be caught dead at one."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Fatal Beauty (1987)

"So-so Whoopi comedy-thriller. There are worse things and she's made some of them."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

The Fatal Glass of Beer/Pool Shark (1933)

"W.C. Fields' most surreal short."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Father Goose (1964)

"Cary Grant's penultimate film is a real charmer."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Father of the Bride (1950)

"Middle-brow comedy that makes you wonder about Minnelli's reputation."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

FAUST (1926)

"Brilliant Murnau fantasy"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Fear Dot Com (2002)

"A lackluster movie that is nonentheless extremely creepy, and made with a modicum of respect for an all too often disdained genre and its knowing fans."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Fear No Evil (1981)

"Explosive bad taste horror film."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Fearless (2006)

"It's not that the film isn't entertaining, it's that it's simply nothing special."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Fearless Vampire Killers Or: Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck (1967)

"A moon-drenched eastern European fairy tale perfectly rendered onto film."

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

Feast of Love (2007)

"There are times when the film works, but more often than not it has the feel of clunky contrivance."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Female Trouble (1975)

"Best seen in small doses. Waters at his most outrageous"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Femme Fatale (2002)

"Whatever else it is or isn't, Femme Fatale is pure filmmaking of a kind we don't see much of these days. It's vintage De Palma and I, at least, am glad to have him back in form."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

"Time has caught up with the movie's once-iconic status, and it now seems more an artifact of its era than the 'with it' movie it once was."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Fever Pitch (2005)

"More work-for-hire than a bona fide Farrelly Brothers picture. But it's pretty good work-for-hire."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Fido (2007)

"Surprisingly gentle in most of its humor and its gore quotient, making you wonder who exactly it was aimed at."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Fiend Without a Face (1958)

"Way above average 50s sci-fi with great monsters."

Ken Hanke
