Factory Girl (2007) |
"Though George Hickenlooper's "Factory Girl" feels as vacuous as the picture's main character, "superstar" Edie Sedgwick, it manages to convincingly convey the toxic persona that was Andy Warhol." |

The Family Stone (2005) |
"This film is clearly a vehicle for Parker. We wouldn't want to waste all the "Sex and the City" steam now would we?" |

Fantastic Four (2005) |
"A Fantastic Bore. Foursome marred by lousy writing and directing" |

The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"Tim Story seems on the verge of "getting" it by introducing two of the comic-book series' most involving characters, , but fails in creating a satisfying back story, or any story at all for that matter." |

Fast Food Nation (2006) |
"Though "Fast Food Nation" the movie is interesting and revelatory, it's oddly emotionless and unappealing." |

Fat Albert (2004) |
"
'Fat Albert' is a massive bore that moves from one predictable scenario to another.**

Fateless (2006) |
"Unlike other Holocaust films we've seen in the past, "Fateless" offers us an almost lyrical and distant version of the horror camps." |

Fay Grim (2007) |
""We don't buy for a minute the motivations behind any of the large number of characters, and Posey is nowhere near able to carry the movie."" |

Festival Express (2004) |
"
Though documentary contains invaluable scenes of Janis Joplin relaxing and jamming, the film is mostly a concert movie with the occasional testimony from who was there.

Fever Pitch (2005) |
"
Charming and entertaining thanks to a surprisingly endearing performance by Jimmy Fallon.

Final Destination 3 (2006) |
""Final Destination 3" doesn't strive to be anything more than a loose collection of cool killings." |

Finding Neverland (2004) |
"
Despite liberties taken with true-life facts, "Finding Neverland" is a genuinely touching and exceptionally executed account of J.M. Barrie's creation of "Peter Pan." **

First Snow (2007) |
""First Snow" has the makings of a complex psychological thriller, but it gets lost in moody atmospherics and an incomplete script." |

Tomato |
Flags of Our Fathers (2006) |
"Whereas Spielberg's movie was emotionally visceral, "Flags" is more clinical and less involving psychologically. That said, the movie deals with a fascinating aspect of American history and contains some solid performances by most of the actors." |

Flight of the Phoenix (2004) |
"
"Flight of the Phoenix" looks great. If only they would've shifted some of the budget towards the writers.**

Flightplan (2005) |
""Flightplan" crash lands after take off." |

The Flying Scotsman (2007) |
"A true-life inspirational tale of about a young man who defies all odds, "The Flying Scotsman" is disappointingly devoid of emotion with a script that never manages to fully convey the personal demons floating about." |
Angela Baldassarre |
Splat |
For Your Consideration (2006) |
"With For Your Consideration, it's obvious the filmmakers got a few extra bucks to not only expand the repertoire, but to create a more complex story and abandon the gimmickry for a more satirical and insider movie." |

The Forgotten (2004) |
"
Despite a terrific cast, thriller walks a thin line between camp and conceit. **

Fracture (2007) |
"Elegant, old-fashioned and challenging, Gregory Hoblit's legal thriller "Fracture" has its flaws in terms of pacing and involvement, but makes up for it thanks to a strong performance by Anthony Hopkins and a sharp script by Daniel Pyne and Glenn Gers." |

Freedomland (2005) |

Friends With Money (2006) |
""Friends with Money" can be considered a chick flick because it's the gals that provide most of the fodder." |

Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006) |
""Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus" points out in its title that the picture is mostly fictionalized, but in the opening prologue it states that Diane Arbus was one of America's most important artists. Why make that statement if you can't prove it" |
