Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"Michael Moore is angry and he wants America to be angry with him. Regardless of where you stand in the political spectrum, you will be." |
Jonathan R. Perry |

The Family Stone (2005) |
"This year's lump of cinematic coal has a diamond blazing inside." |
Mark Collette |
Splat 2/4 |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"Entertainment as junk food: enjoyable as it goes down, if not particularly good for us, and it doesn't stand a Yugo's chance in the Indy 500 of lingering in our memories." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Splat 2/4 |
Fear Dot Com (2002) |
"Taken purely as an exercise in style, this oppressively gloomy techno-horror clambake is impossible to ignore. But as a movie, it's a humorless, disjointed mess." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Fearless (2006) |
"Fearless is a visual juggernaut." |
Mark Collette |
Tomato 4/5 |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Fever Pitch (2005) |
"Never approaches the rolling boil its title suggests, and laugh for laugh, it’s the least successful comedy the Farrelly Brothers have made." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Splat 2/4 |
Final Destination 2 (2003) |
"We don’t want logic or complex characterizations in a horror flick — we want to see violent death and dismemberment on the most in-ventive and disgusting scale imaginable, right? On its own terms — elusive as they might be — 'Final Destination 2' delivers" |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Finding Nemo (2003) |
"The peerless partnership of Disney and Pixar is officially five-for-five." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Finding Neverland (2004) |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Flags of Our Fathers (2006) |
"This film seems dangerously close to embracing the same kind of selective storytelling that it condemns." |
Mark Collette |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Flight of the Phoenix (2004) |
"Pop quiz: What's worse than a disaster flick? Answer: A remake of a disaster flick." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Splat 2/4 |
Flightplan (2005) |
"A co-pilot remarks that all children should have to wear a cowbell. That's true at least for the people aboard this plane." |
Mark Collette |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Flushed Away (2006) |
"This is a stunning example of a dumb concept that an ingenuous team of screenwriters, animators and voice actors turned squarely on its head. And there's scarcely a potty joke to be found." |
Mark Collette |
Splat 1/5 |

The Forgotten (2004) |
"Any film capable of simultaneously causing me to douse my lap with Mountain Dew in surprise and inspiring the biggest unintentional laugh I’ve had all year deserves credit." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Formula 51 (2002) |
"Ken Russell would love this. In one scene, we get a stab at soccer hooliganism, a double-barreled rip-off of Quentin Tarantino’s climactic shootout — and Meat Loaf explodes." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Tomato 3/4 |
Four Brothers (2005) |
"John Singelton proves the Western mythos can work just as effectively in an urban setting — that those hoary old cliches can find new life in the hands of a capable filmmaker." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Tomato 4/5 |
Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) |

Frailty (2002) |
"... a haunting, relentlessly disturbing film in the pure Southern Gothic tradition." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Tomato 3/4 |
Freaky Friday (2003) |
"A lightweight but occasionally clever comedy that surprisingly treats its premise as more than a punch line — and does it with a big heart." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Freddy vs. Jason (2003) |
"Applying 'criticism' to 'Freddy vs. Jason' isn’t just tedious — it’s pointless." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Splat 1/4 |
Freedomland (2005) |
"A dour, humorless, clunky, reductive, insulting diatribe on race relations, masquerading as a kidnap melodrama. Or maybe it's the other way around." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Tomato 5/5 |
From the Earth to the Moon (1998) |
"Television's finest hour since 'I, Claudius.'" |
Jonathan R. Perry |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Fun with Dick and Jane (2005) |
"Sharp satire coexists uneasily with slapstick comedy... and unless you're Mel Brooks, any attempt to cram them into a blender and hit purée will produce something putrid." |
Jonathan R. Perry |
