Factory Girl (2007) |
"Pearce is as self-consciously annoying as I always found Warhol to be in interviews. Miller looks great, but so what? There's no there there." |

Factotum (2006) |
"I know Bukowski is practically legendary in some circles; to me he is an unutterable bore." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Faithless (2001) |
"Henriksson, Hanzon and Josephson are fine as well, but the film belongs to Endre and Gylemo." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
The Fall (2008) |
"The story Roy tells is involving enough and so beautifully shot (see how many locations you can name) that it's worth seeing for that alone." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
The Family Man (2000) |
"Cage and Leoni are cute together and struggle mightily, but they can't overcome this sinking ship of a script by David Diamond and David Weissman that telegraphs the ending in the first 20 minutes." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Fantasia (1940) |
"What better way to introduce kids to good music than by animating it with charming creatures?" |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"It's certainly an adequate summer popcorn movie." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"Nostalgia is often fun, seldom accurate, and rarely done cinematically as well as it is here." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
The Fast Runner (2002) |
"Don't be put off by the 172-minute running time. It's worth it." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Fat Girl (2001) |
"For women, especially those who have sisters, it should be a must-see." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Fay Grim (2007) |
"This is a perfect role for Posey and she plays it to the hilt, with the rest of the cast providing complementary lunacy." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Fellini I'm a Born Liar (2003) |
"A charming piece of history." |

Fido (2007) |
"Funny films have been in short supply lately. Don't miss this one." |

Fighting for Life (2008) |
"If you’re wondering where the heroes went, take a look at this group, and see if you’re not impressed." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
The Final Cut (2004) |
"If the ending is predictable and even anti-climactic, chalk it up to a first effort. The rest of the film, brilliantly shot by Tak Fujimoto, is worth a look-see." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) |
"The cityscapes, action sequences and phantoms and the sheer scale of the film are jaw-dropping." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
Find Me Guilty (2006) |
"If you remember the case, or have any idea how film scripts generally go, you'll guess the end before the courtroom action starts." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Finding Forrester (2000) |
"There's nothing particularly original about this story, but within its limitations it's done quite well." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Finding Nemo (2003) |
"The plot is delightful, the animation spectacular ... the colors gorgeous, the message positive and the score by Thomas Newman fitting." |

Finding Neverland (2004) |
"Finding Neverland will enchant you as much as Peter Pan did (and still does) kids of all ages." |

Flow: For Love of Water (2008) |
"It is required watching, because only concerted citizen action can stop the trend." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
The Flower of Evil (2003) |
"The lighting is spectacular, the cinematography by Eduardo Serra, the spare music by Matthieu Chabrol, the production design by Françoise Benoît-Fresco -- all make this a joy to watch." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
Flushed Away (2006) |
"Action is all this film offers. It doesn't stand still long enough to involve the audience." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
The Fog of War (2003) |
"It is a riveting reminder for those who remember; a required history lesson for those who don't." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Food of Love (2002) |
"The principals in this cast are all fine, but Bishop and Stevenson are standouts." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
The Foot Fist Way (2008) |
"The blatant, inarticulate idiocy of McBride's Simmons is, in a certain way, endearing." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
Forty Shades of Blue (2005) |
"A so-what time waster." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
The Four Feathers (2002) |
"Because of the battle scenes, this film will likely appeal primarily to men, though anyone whose primary interest is cinematography should also see it." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Frailty (2002) |
"An intriguing film about an unsavory topic." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Freaky Friday (2003) |
"In a year that has tortured us with such family movie duds as A Family Affair, The In-Laws and Spy Kids: 3-D, this film is positively welcome." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Freedom Writers (2007) |
"Swank looks properly out of place in this role (she comes to teaching from another field) and manages to become convincing as someone who wants to save these lives headed for destruction." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
Freedomland (2005) |
"Freedomland wants to be about racism and madness, and I suppose it is, but the script provides too little information about the characters to make us care, or to draw parallels between them and ourselves." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
Frequency (2000) |
"There also are too many collage sequences indicating time shifts. The first two or three are interesting; after that they become dizzying, and finally downright annoying." |

Frida (2002) |
"Beautifully put together and lovely to watch." |
Jean Lowerison |

From Hell (2001) |
"This is one of those stories that's too awful to watch and too fascinating not to. See it for the superb direction, cinematography (by the way, it was filmed in and around Prague), and acting." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Fuck (2006) |
"Fascinating." |

Full Frontal (2002) |
"None of it makes much sense, but most of it is fun, some hilarious." |

Funny Girl (1968) |
"It looks absolutely gorgeous -- a dye-transfer process has given more life to the already striking colors." |
