Splat 3/5 |
Factory Girl (2007) |
"Pearce's performance is assembled out of rigorously limited physical gestures and a vocal characterization that never rises above a murmur. But it's mesmerizing -- you can't take your eyes off him, and you miss him every time he leaves the scene." |

Failure to Launch (2006) |
"MTV Finds 'Failure To Lauch' A Box Office Success, Topping Tim Allen and Wes Craven." |

The Fall (2008) |
"...like two hours of high-end perfume commercials." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"[A]part from some undeniably slick effects … the wow factor in this movie is surprisingly minute … [O]nly Julian McMahon's nefarious psycho, Dr. Doom, shows real promise here." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 1/5 |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"Fantasy pictures needn't be bound by the constraints of real-world logic, but they can't survive the quotidian blandness by which this one is smothered." |

Splat 2/5 |
Fast Food Nation (2006) |
"At heart, the film is a vegetarian manifesto %u2014 a worthy enterprise, perhaps, but, with its overabundance of characters designed to make predictable polemical points, not much of a movie." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 4/5 |
Fever Pitch (2005) |
"[A] near-perfect romantic comedy, and the elegance with which it's been constructed is a beautiful thing to behold.

"MovieFile: Drew Barrymore news update" |

Tomato |
Fido (2007) |
"It's beautifully filmed (in the saturated primary colors of 1950s-style Technicolor), and it features a performance by the veteran Scottish actor Billy Connolly that's a small marvel of comic resourcefulness." |

Splat |
Filth and Wisdom (2008) |
"As narrator-star Eugene Hutz puts it, "Without filth, there can be no wisdom." As deep thoughts go, this seems too feeble to provoke much in the way of actual thought, let alone to hang a movie on." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 5/5 |
First Snow (2007) |
""First Snow" leaves you with faintly haunting thoughts, which is nice -- one's always thankful for that rare movie that leaves you with any thoughts at all." |

Flash of Genius (2008) |
"[Greg Kinnear] gives one of the most carefully modulated and moving performances of his career." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat |
Flash Point (2008) |
"What we have here, from the chop-socky point of view, isn't a feature film; it's a YouTube video." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat |
Flawless (2007) |
"At least the picture's title is apt -- as a work of preposterous implausibility it is, indeed, without any redeeming flaw." |

The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008) |

For Your Consideration (2006) |
""For Your Consideration" is a good little movie, but coming from Guest, you expect something great. There's always next time." |

Tomato |
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) |
"The movie would have benefited from a lot more of Russell Brand, whose surreal egocentricity and vast reserves of disdain light up every scene he's in. The man wields every great line he's given like a whip." |
Kurt Loder |
- |
The Fountain (2006) |
"Aronofsky Hopes for "Reassembly" of The Fountain" |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Fountain (2006) |
" The picture is visually intoxicating --- the images have a luminous psychedelic beauty --- and the film's themes emerge elegantly out of the story's intricately-looped tri-level structure." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 1/5 |
The Fourth Kind (2009) |
"The movie begins with what is probably the most laughable opening scene of the year." |

Tomato |
Frost/Nixon (2008) |
"The film is mostly talk, but it's sharp, punchy talk, and the picture is sometimes thrilling to watch." |

Funny Games (2008) |
"...brilliant and terrifying and borderline-unwatchable..." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 5/10 |
Funny People (2009) |
"The film's sweet conclusion finally returns us to the world of funnyman camaraderie. By this time, though, we're wondering why we ever had to leave." |

Splat 2/5 |
Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006) |
"That the picture collapses into near-total absurdity doesn't diminish the daring of its concept, although it certainly calls into question its utility." |
