Factory Girl (2007) |
"This is Sienna Miller's chance to prove she can do more in a movie than look good while naked, and it turns out she's a good actress." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"Say what you will about Moore's politics, but he knows how to make a good movie." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Failure to Launch (2006) |
"Failure To Launch tries very hard to break out of the romantic comedy formula with some additional wackiness and guy humor, but they might have been better sticking to the formula." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/5 |
Falling From Grace (1992) |
"Surprisingly good movie. One of the few rock stars to get it right." |

"Somewhere, Irene Cara weeps." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"The movie is wonderful as a drama, and wonderful when a comedy, but when the scenes are placed side by side, it's a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde movie mish mash." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"faces a huge obstacle, and doesn't overcome it well ... develop 4 heroes and 1 villain in less than 2 hours and provide an exciting story full of visual wonder." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"While contemporary superhero movies have evolved to dive deeper into the darker motivations, feeling and actions of the subjects, The Fantastic Four are content to be the hackneyed vaudeville act with old, stale jokes" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"If I have said it once, I will say it a million times. Talking animals are funny. An offbeat yarn with great music, better acting and erudite goofiness." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat .5/4 |
Farce of the Penguins (2006) |
"The amount of filth in this movie may set your eyes and ears on fire." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
Fast & Furious (2009) |

Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
Fast Food Nation (2006) |
"it's the supporting cast that takes control of the movie and makes the audience pay attention as best we can as Fast Food Nation falls apart" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Fat Albert (2004) |
"Much to my surprise, I found myself laughing (in a good way) throughout Fat Albert, and even got a bit misty eyed.

Feast of Love (2007) |
"It's the kind of feast that could give you food poisoning." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
Fever Pitch (2005) |
"Sadly, Fever Pitch doesn't touch on the pathos of being a baseball fan. It's a romantic comedy where baseball is just in the way, kinda like Jimmy Fallon.
" |

Fighting (2009) |
"The ladies in the crowd will be demanding a refund when it takes far too long for Tatum to show off those abs of steel." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Final Cut (2004) |
"Williams is very good as the subdued, slightly creepy cutter, but he could have benefited from some more explosive material." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Final Destination 3 (2006) |
"If you have seen the first two Final Destination movies, you know what you are getting into. If you haven't seen the first two, why start now?
" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
Find Me Guilty (2006) |
"When star Vin Diesel showed up on screen looking a little paunchy and wearing some sort of hair piece, visions of Gigli were dancing in our heads. Surprise! It doesn't stink." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 5/4 |
Finding Neverland (2004) |

Firewall (2006) |
"Bettany is a perfect 21st Century bad guy as he mixes nastiness with a detached coolness that makes you shudder at its cruelty." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat .5/4 |
First Daughter (2004) |
"It's about as magical as a frog that doesn't turn into a prince when you kiss it, but still gives you warts.

First Descent (2005) |
"you get to see crazy people do stupid stuff you have to be very very very drunk to try" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat .5/4 |
First Sunday (2008) |
"attempts to go for a Tyler Perry-esque mishmash of silly comedy, melodrama and everyone learning a lesson that will make them better people. Ick." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Flags of Our Fathers (2006) |
"It's a graphic, shocking, challenging, moving and thoughtful movie that gives you even more respect for the men and women who saved the world." |

Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Flicka (2006) |
"Even I, the most macho movie critic in all of the land, had one manly tear running down my rough, unshaven cheek after this movie...It's the movie you want to see with someone who won't be embarrassed when you cry." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Flight of the Phoenix (2004) |
"Ribisi embarrasses himself by making Elliott sound like Hannibal Lecter, Flight of the Phoenix reminds you why The Aviator or Spanglish are so good." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Flightplan (2005) |
"fantastic job setting up a very eerie, frightening and confusing story ... but the ending falls short of our greatest hopes" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Flushed Away (2006) |
"A hilarious film full of pratfalls for the kids, and smart humor for the parents and adults who are just looking for a good time (in the clean, non-suggestive way)." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Fly Me To The Moon (2008) |
"It's a great movie for kids, until you have to explain the knife fight and the Cold War. Can little Sammy spell shiv?" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
Flyboys (2006) |
"This is the first World War I aviation movie in over 40 years. Then, the movie proves why." |
Willie Waffle |

Willie Waffle |
Splat 0/4 |
The Foot Fist Way (2008) |
"Does this title mean I can put my foot AND my fist through the screen?" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
For Your Consideration (2006) |
"The set up for the movie is full of comic potential, but the execution kills it deader than Mel Gibson's plans to make the story of Hanukkah into a movie." |

The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) |
"I don't care how tough and talented Jet Li and Jackie Chan are they lost me at Monkey King." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) |
"some good individual performances, some funny scenes and solid secondary stories, but it's a loosey goosey film that feels like a bunch of scenes tossed together like a salad." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Forgotten (2004) |
"I really wanted to like this movie, right up until THE BIG TWIST, which is jaw dropping in the sense that you can't believe someone thought this was a good idea." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
The Fountain (2006) |
"I'm all for a movie making us think, but I am worried Aronofsky, no matter how much I respect him as a director and writer, went a little too far with this one." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Four Brothers (2005) |
"Four Brothers is one of those good movies that surprises you as you think you have it figured out, but it goes for the comic relief too much.

Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Fourth Kind (2009) |

Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
Fred Claus (2007) |
"It's not offensive. It's not stupid. It will not cause you to go running out of the theater screaming, while holding your hands over your ears and eyes. It's just blah." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Freedom Writers (2007) |
"Doesn't add anything new to the formula, no matter how much of a hero Erin truly has become." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
