Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
". . . an explosive and heart wrenching piece of cinema . . ." |
Mark Salisbury |
Splat 2/4 |
Failure to Launch (2006) |
"What fails to launch is anything remotely convincing or appealing." |
Allison Williams |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"The Family Stone is a movie for everyone, especially during the holidays." |
Rachel Clarke |
Splat 1/4 |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"...too bouncy to be an Elektra bummer, but should make Marvel mascot Stan Lee think twice about burning another lucrative bridge with unintentional hilarity." |

Tomato 4/4 |
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"It's worth seeing for Quaid's multileveled, perfectly modulated, frankly amazing performance." |
Glenn Kenny |
Splat 0/4 |
Fascination (2005) |
"Fascination would be a good title for a movie that was in any way interesting." |
Kevin Allison |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Fast & Furious (2009) |
"Wild car chases and ridiculous humor don’t make a film good, but they sure can make it fun to watch." |
Patrick Parker |

The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"Will feature the sleek and powerful designs of the modified vehicles along with the heart-pounding adrenaline rush of the most amazing racing action ever seen on screen." |
|
Splat 2/4 |
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) |
"As for the racing sequences, they might be thrilling if they weren't so chaotically edited." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato 3/4 |
Fast Food Nation (2006) |
"Fast Food Nation poses an interesting critical conundrum: at one point does a film's ambition make up for its dramatic clumsiness?" |
Ethan Alter |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Fay Grim (2007) |
"What borders on a pleasingly intricate spy plot lead by the grimacing Parker Posey gets hopelessly tangled in the wrinkles in the story, and it all never quite pays off." |
Jessica Letkemann |
Tomato 3/4 |
Fearless (2006) |
"The fighting is... wow. In a market saturated with Matrix-cribbed technique, Jet Li's 25 years of skills have a grace and power all their own." |
Monica A. Reyhani |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Feast (2006) |
"With some amusing performances (Jason Mewes and Henry Rollins, in particular) and an appealingly random sense of humor, Feast hits more often than it misses." |
Kelly Borgeson |
Splat 2/4 |
Femme Fatale (2002) |
"'Too picturesque to be ignored, too trashy to be erotic, and taken too seriously to be fun.'" |
Aaron Hillis |
Splat 2/4 |
Fever Pitch (2005) |
"Could this all be a deeper reflection on the male refusal to grow up and his long-told fear of commitment? Not in this one-dimensional fluff piece." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Fighting Temptations (2003) |
"The cast is endearing, and despite a ridiculously contrived story line, the film plays like a happily toe-tapping song." |

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) |

Tomato 4/4 |
Finding Nemo (2003) |
". . . the computer animation reimaginings of the undersea orgies of color orchestrated by nature are mind-blowing." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato 4/4 |
Finding Neverland (2004) |
"I don't think there's another actor alive who can convey the intermingling of gentleness and passion with as much precision as Depp." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Fired Up (2009) |
"Nicholas D'Agosto and Eric Christian Olsen make a hilarious pair; If you're under the age of 25 you’ll like it." |
Patrick Parker |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
A Fistful of Dynamite (1971) |
"Woefully overlooked... Top-tier widescreen action... Ennio Morricone's enchanting score and Leone's trademark flourishes handshake in wild agreement. Sucker punches its way to the top of the Italian-western mountains." |
Aaron Hillis |
Splat 2/4 |
Flags of Our Fathers (2006) |
"The good news is that Flags is a stately, sober picture that boasts excellent production values. The bad news is that it's not particularly interesting or involving." |
Ethan Alter |
Splat 2/4 |
Flanders (2006) |
"Dumont's ideas and insights have narrowed with this picture, his relaxed pacing now lethargic, his physically and mentally thick characters too familiar, and his ice-water shocks a bit predictable. It would seem self-parodic if it weren't so damn tragic." |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Flicka (2006) |
"Part of the point is that untamability, of "spirit" at least, is to be celebrated. Katie and the movie both argue that such a quality is inherently American. And the movie argues pretty loud." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Flushed Away (2006) |
"Though Flushed Away certainly aims to please viewers of all ages, it's the anglophiles of all ages who are going to get the most out of the film." |
Laine Ewen |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Flyboys (2006) |
"I have nothing against a good old-fashioned flying-aces war movie.... I just get a little antsy at movies in which almost every single damn moment is presumed to be dramatic enough to warrant a swelling music cue." |

For Your Consideration (2006) |
"Few things are more disappointing than watching one of your favorite comedians struggling through an off night. So it goes with Christopher Guest's latest feature For Your Consideration." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) |
"Yeah, it's pretty funny. And it's a pretty accurate depiction of a certain feature of male romantic humiliation. But it's also a little -- and this is one of my two misgivings about the movie -- expected." |

The Fountain (2006) |
"If you're a movie lover who despairs that big-scale filmmaking today consists of little more than a self-cannibalizing system of clichés, then you need, badly, to see The Fountain, soon." |

Splat 2/4 |
Freddy vs. Jason (2003) |
"The frights, the archetypes, even the predictability of it all is predictable, leaving behind a dull, brainless novelty that makes more sense as a TV sweeps stunt." |
Aaron Hillis |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Freddy vs. Jason (2003) |
"The guts of this thorough two-disc beast act as the missing link between an E! Behind the Scenes special and a subscription to Fangoria..." |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato |
The Free Will (2006) |
"Amazingly conceived and deeply upsetting... Jürgen Vogel gives the bravest and most challenging performance I've seen so far this year." |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Free Zone (2006) |
"Rebecca (Natalie Portman) is the quiet American who stands on the sidelines while the Israeli and the Palestinian bicker and argue in this intriguing Middle Eastern travelogue." |
Ethan Alter |
Splat 2/4 |
Freedomland (2005) |
"If nothing else, Freedomland tries very hard to be a good film." |
Jessica Letkemann |
Tomato 4/5 |
Frida (2002) |
"With splendid supporting turns from the likes of Ashley Judd, Edward Norton, and Geoffrey Rush, and some terrific set pieces, Taymor brings Kahlo's art to life." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Frida (2002) |
"With a full second disc of interviews and behind-the-scenes footage as well as commentaries by Taymor and composer Elliot Goldenthal, there’s a full afternoon's worth of extras." |
Leigh Belz |
Splat 2/4 |
Friday the 13th (2009) |
"The same dumb character decisions stick around to facilitate the murder." |
Rob Calvert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Friends With Money (2006) |
"Friends is well-crafted, intelligent, genuinely adult fare." |
Glenn Kenny |

From Hell (2001) |
"It's 1888, and Jack the Ripper is on the loose in London." |
|
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Frost/Nixon (2008) |
"A totally mesmerizing battle of the wills between the occasionally charming yet wily Nixon and the increasingly desperate Frost." |
