The Fall (2008)

"If Matthew Barney and Alejandro Jodorowsky were in change of filming a Gay Pride parade, it would be similar to what Fall has to offer visually...As a living, breathing creation, it's dead on arrival."

Fame (2009)

"What was once a neurotic, awkward climb to the summit of personal achievement has been molested into High School Musical 4. Coco would not approve."

Brian Orndorf

Fanboys (2009)

"The war is over, the movie is available in some form to the general public, and the natural response after viewing? The film wasn't worth all the fuss it generated."

Brian Orndorf

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

"A breathtaking cinematic marvel; Anderson finds a magnificent home nestled firmly in the luxurious textures of the animation, the dancing vocal performances, and delicious wry tone that makes for stunningly fanciful cinema."

Brian Orndorf

C

Fast & Furious (2009)

"Hopefully for the next go-around, the series will plunge even further into the crash-em-ups and flip-e-doos that feel so organic to the attitude of the series, and less into that thing called "acting" I'm assuming the entire cast is trying to pull off."

Brian Orndorf

D

Fighting (2009)

"The rest of the narrative is a smear of gangster clichés, head-slapping collisions of coincidence, and shirtless Tatum scowling. One has to wonder how a homeless street fighter has the time and tools to shave his entire upper body on a daily basis."

Brian Orndorf

D

Filth and Wisdom (2008)

"Either Madonna failed to successfully guide her movie to a coherent state of mind or she simply has no gift for filmmaking. A case could be made for both, though the latter is an awfully tempting summarization of Filth and Wisdom."

Brian Orndorf

The Final Destination (2009)

"Reheats the package of fate and premonition with snoozy panache. Thought the title all but demands finality to the franchise, something tells me the "Final" at play here is more wicked irony than a welcome promise."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Finding Amanda (2008)

"Amanda is a generously funny, sharp-edged comedy with unusual promise, and to watch it grow a conscience when clearly the film needed more generous helpings of acid is one of the year's great mysteries."

Brian Orndorf

Splat

Fired Up (2009)

"Man-boys, nubile girls, sporting hijinks, and beloved actor John Michael Higgins in a cameo; one would think with these tools the filmmakers could've invited any reaction from the viewer other than the one they achieve: self-immolation."

Brian Orndorf

Flash Gordon (1980)

"Brian Orndorf reviews the "fan only" DVD audio commentary with Sam J. Jones and Melody Anderson."

Brian Orndorf

B-

Flash of Genius (2008)

"Genius is appealing, and while the story is an odd one, it remains an intriguing observation of underhanded corporate business practices told through formulaic melodramatic trappings."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

Flawless (2007)

"It's a satisfying picture enhanced by a few great sequences, and proves there's still plenty of life in heist cinema."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C-

The Flock (2006)

"While not exactly a gift-wrapped present, it's safe to say that Flock will certainly appeal to television cop drama junkies and those who love to see Claire Danes cry, which would now include every film she's ever made."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C-

Fly Me To The Moon (2008)

"While it's hard to recommend it on purely creative merit, I suppose it would be a wonderful thing if these silly flies ended up pushing kids to investigate space travel and the legacy of NASA. Unlikely, but it's more comforting than fart and burp jokes."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Food, Inc. (2009)

"Runs a little dry here and there when swamped in the particulars, but its message is a valuable one; a stirring call to arms where passion outweighs realism, but it makes for eye-opening conversation nonetheless."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D+

The Foot Fist Way (2008)

"A low-budget wannabe cult comedy shot three years ago, only recently graduating from underground DVD circulation to a small theatrical release. It should've stayed in obscurity."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D

The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)

"Kingdom is a stiff, disturbingly ill-conceived fantasy film more consumed with playing slack-jawed fanboy than telling a compelling story worthy of these two giants."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A-

Forbidden Lie$ (2009)

"Khouri's transparency is stunning and so is this flashy documentary, delivering an astounding, enraging story of literary deception and moral bankruptcy that's thrilling to watch."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

"It's a firecracker of a picture, paying tribute to stomped hearts everywhere, not to mention throwing valentines toward the Muppets, luscious Hawaii, and the comedic value of the penis."

Brian Orndorf

Four Christmases (2008)

"If Vince Vaughn wants to ruin Christmas, he's going about it the right way. Another year of this coal-in-stocking cinema and the holiday spirit will be beaten out of me for good."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D-

Friday the 13th - Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

"It's actually quite amazing that a film titled Jason Takes Manhattan never really takes place in Manhattan. At least the Muppets kept their titular promise to bite the Big Apple."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Frost/Nixon (2008)

"Remains an intelligent, evocative reminder of simple television appetites and the dynamism, the pure drilling ecstasy, of journalistic hunger."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B-

Frozen River (2008)

"Leo's work here is stirring, haunting, and singlehandedly maintains a pitch-perfect tone of weathered anxiety the rest of River is all too quick to fumble."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

Funny Games (2008)

"Either one subscribes to Haneke's breathless nihilism and sarcasm or you give up immediately and write the whole thing off as another Eurotrash director masturbating with his camera...my personal choice is a nap."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A-

Funny People (2009)

"Funny is far more acidic and remorseless than anything Apatow has attempted before. It's a terrific motion picture, with keen insight into the mind of the stand-up comic at his most game, blistered, and vulnerable."

Brian Orndorf
