Tomato 3.5/5
Fanny (1961)
"Image Entertainment's disc is slightly disappointing ..., but the film is such a treasure that any fan of classic romance would be happy to own it."
Felix Gonzalez Jr.
Tomato
"The film is as much a visual feast as it is a dramatic delight."
Splat
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
"... when characters are not racing at breakneck speed, the movie as a whole ceases to move."
Tomato 3/5
The Fast and the Furious Trilogy (2009)
"Universal has done a ridiculously impressive job with this package, but I can't help lamenting the lack of similar treatment for more worthy titles."
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
"It reaches a level of mediocrity that leaves the previous entries in the dust ...."
Fast Company (1979)
"For diehard Cronenberg fans without the DVD, this [Blu-ray disc] is an easy recommendation for both image quality and bonus content."
"There is nothing particularly memorable about Fast Company, even at the most superficial level."
Splat 2.5/5
Fighting (2009)
"Universal's transfer is great, but nothing about this release calls out for attention."
"Fighting consistently feels like a patchwork of better movies without their excitement or rooting interest in character."
Tomato 4.5/5
The Films Of Michael Powell - Age Of Consent / Stairway To Heaven (2009)
"... a substantial package, not only making these desirable films available but adorning them with some excellent features as well."
Final Destination 3 (2006)
"I'm not sure how much more overkill this franchise can take ...."
"As usual, New Line has served up some fantastic supplemental features."
Find Me Guilty (2006)
"What on the surface seems like a regular court drama with a little humor thrown in for good measure actually works as a wicked satire on the American judicial system."
"... a most unsatisfactory release for a movie that deserved much better."
Fire and Ice (1983)
"The Blu-ray transfer is solid, although owners of the 2-disc DVD set may want to hang on to that documentary."
"Its ambiguously gay villain notwithstanding, Fire and Ice just doesn't hold the weight, either visually or thematically, that its creators probably hoped it would."
First Name: Carmen (1983)
"With equal parts heist drama and romantic comedy, the movie continues Godard's exploration of film ...."
Forbidden Planet (1956)
"... the film truly gets the deluxe treatment that it deserves and should be highly sought after by classic movie fans."
"A cinematic marvel for the ages, Forbidden Planet possesses a look and feel that was far ahead of its time."
Freedom Writers (2007)
"Paramount's DVD presentation provides further incentive to give this movie a look."
"Swank's earthiness is key here, and she consistently rises above the story's cliches."
Frontier(s) (2008)
"Unfortunately, Lions Gate released this film with no supplemental materials whatsoever."
"As a political allegory, it has no substance. As a genre piece, it is derivative, but it takes from the best and brings it together reasonably well."
Full Metal Jacket (1987)
"Kubrick seems to be directing his vision beyond the reality of the Vietnam War to issues far more universal and timeless."
"... this is just one good reason to purchase the complete Kubrick box set, which is a must-own for film buffs."
Future Kill (1985)
"This film is a working definition of the term 'underground movie,' and whatever its faults or virtues may be, it certainly lives up to distributor Subversive Cinema's name."
"Future-Kill is by no means a good movie, but it is well-meaning and often funny (if for the wrong reasons)."
