Rating Title Year Quote Author

Tomato
84/100

Fados (2009)

"Fados isn't just a director's look at one genre of music, it's a celebration of the special relationship between music, dance and film."

Sean Gandert

Splat
40/100

Fast & Furious (2009)

"Plays like an overgrown parody of the first three movies combined."

Jeffrey Bloomer

Tomato
74/100

Fear(s) of the Dark (2008)

" It's probably not the most frightening film of the year, but that's because its monsters hit you in the head rather than the heart."

Sean Gandert

Tomato
3.5/5

The Five Obstructions (2004)

"[Leth's] strength against adversity elevates the movie above the one-sided whipping of a genial man to a more interesting duel of filmmakers. He parries when von Trier thrusts."

Robert Davis

Tomato
3/5

Five: Dedicated to Ozu (2005)

"I wouldn't want Kiarostami to abandon narrative filmmaking forever, but I can think of far worse things to stick in your brain than five contemplative shots of nature."

Robert Davis

Tomato

The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)

"Even when [Hou is] working with simple ingredients, he brings along his masterful sense of space, timing, and everyday observation, which gives an actress like Binoche ample room to shine."

Robert Davis

Tomato
69/100

Food, Inc. (2009)

"At times I feel like I'm being guided by someone who not only doesn't have time to explore so many complex issues but also doesn't understand them deeply enough to know or admit when he's making dissonant compromises."

Robert Davis

Tomato

The Foot Fist Way (2008)

"Everything feels like it sprang from an all-night, cola-fueled brainstorm, so every bit slips easily away, usually after generating a grin or two, if not many laughs."

Robert Davis

Tomato

The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)

"If The Forbidden Kingdom missteps, it's by assuming that its digitally enhanced stunts are more impressive than they are and, therefore, lavishing more attention on the kinetics than the story."

Robert Davis

Tomato
85/100

Forbidden Lie$ (2009)

"Thankfully, both filmmaker and subject approach the film as a duel. Broinowski thrusts, Khouri parries. Finding out what, if anything, is true about Khouri's story is simply the Macguffin for a filmmaker more thrilled by the hunt."

Robert Davis

Splat
30/100

Four Christmases (2008)

"Proving that quantity does not equal quality, director Seth Gordon (The King of Kong) presents Four Christmases, a weak, soulless holiday film in spite of its inclusion of five previous Oscar winners."

Tim Basham

Tomato
95/100

Freaks and Geeks - The Complete Series (1999)

"Instead of trying for clever twists on [a high-school drama], Freaks focused on human interaction and, above all, character."

Sean Gandert

Tomato
3/5

Free Zone (2006)

"There's an art to ambiguity -- there really is... Left to their own devices, viewers will fill in the blanks, but when the movie starts filling them in itself, you have to wonder about the mismatch."

Robert Davis

Splat
10/100

Friday the 13th (2009)

"A key revelation halfway through the movie lumps Jason into a long, tired tradition of deformed backwoods boys whose motivations weather down to a scorned sense of isolation."

Jeffrey Bloomer

Tomato
82/100

Frost/Nixon (2008)

"Frost/Nixon proves that though history can be inspiring, in film it can be an inconvenience, one readily repaired with the phrase "based on a true story.""

Tim Basham

Splat

Frozen River (2008)

"Hunt might have made a more organic and insightful film if she'd used the story's dangers as the silent underpinnings for the relationship. Instead, those elements swell into the foreground and take symbolic shapes that ring false at every turn."

Robert Davis

Splat

Full Battle Rattle (2008)

"this is such small stakes compared to the real war that the film can't help but feel equally unimportant."

Sean Gandert

Tomato

Funny Games (2008)

"In Funny Games, Haneke seems content to ram his thumbs into our eyes and then ask us why we were foolish enough to get within arm's length of his gray, grizzled visage."

Robert Davis
