Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"Michael Moore is ornery, his methods unethical, but does he raise some good points? This sloppy, powerful, moving film is worth viewing despite Moore." |

Tomato 7/10 |
The Family Man (2000) |
"Rests on its charm, never falling short of pleasant." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"Direction, acting, and even the dialogue are strong -- absolutely top notch. They are the work of professionals. It's the story line that bottlenecks the whole process.
" |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Fantasia 2000 (1999) |
"more of a collection of musical shorts than a feature film. So, I'll review each short on its own.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"Light, brisk, fun, daring, then an awesome bridge crash scene! Then it's down hill from there. Still, just barely above average." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1/4 |
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"Aptly named, this shimmering, beautifully costumed and filmed production doesn't work for me." |

Farewell My Concubine (1993) |
"Click here for INTERVIEW with CHEN KAIGE regarding "Together."" |

Splat 2/4 |
The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"Often crossing the double yellows into hokey terrain, "Furious" can still be a satisfactory cheap ride." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Fast Runner (2002) |
"Authentic, and at times endearing, humorous, spooky, educational, but at other times as bland as a block of snow." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Femme Fatale (2002) |
"Nearly surreal, dabbling in French, this is no simple movie, and you'll be taking a risk if you choose to see it. I enjoyed the ride (bumps and all), creamy depth, and ultimate theme." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Fever Pitch (2005) |
"Pleasant enough, yet it seldom sparks hearty laughter or tugs too strongly on a heartstring.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Fight Club (1999) |
"Simply rough and thick! Even though it loses punch during its extended running time it is still a vibrant contribution to the film world" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag (2005) |
"The film flies the fine line between edutainment and propaganda for the Air Force. Could have used more excitement, but still pretty interesting, and has its moments." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Fighting (2009) |
"B movie w/ a strong right hook. Other strong hooks include Terrance Howard and Luis Guzman. Subtle, Channing Tatum delievers a solid performance as well (dancer to figher)." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) |
"Gleaming, but not without faults." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 7/10 |
Finding Forrester (2000) |
"It's a nice enough film, quaint even." |
|
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Finding Forrester (2000) |
"If "Good Will Hunting" and "Scent of a Woman" were to meet some moonlit night, consummate and make a child, "Finding Forester" would be their adolescent son." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Finding Nemo (2003) |
"Could have been stronger, but it's still fun and has good heart. Ditto to what Steve Rhodes said." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Flags of Our Fathers (2006) |
"Despite a robust military opening, the film doesn't spark until John Slattery hits screen, from there it blossoms, flashing back, flashing forward, nestling into a nice beat." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Flawless (1999) |
"It's a rough, yet playful film with endearing moments, where both hetero's and gays are cherished and ribbed." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Flightplan (2005) |
"The bickering back and forth between Foster and Sarsgaard becomes tiresome. And the erriness dissipates without anything as interesting to replace it." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Fog of War (2003) |
"One of the most important films I've seen in the last year or so. A matter of life and death, required viewing for those sincerely interested in a better understanding of war." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Food Beware: The French Organic Revolution (2009) |
"Uneven documentary brings to the surface important points about the quality of our food products. All of us (this non-organic, cola-drinker included) should be apprised." |

For Love of the Game (1999) |
"gradually pulls you from that slouched near-sleep position to the edge of the bleachers" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Forbidden Lie$ (2009) |
"It's a compelling story with a deathly serious topic, treated in a near sideshow manner. I like it. Less factual than a doc, less fiction than a drama. Faction" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Forces of Nature (1999) |
"DreamWorks takes a rather uninteresting plotline and makes a movie that moves around it.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) |
"Scenes spoofing TV's CSI incarnations are very funny and welcome. While mildly awkward moments abound, so do the belly busting, laugh out loud hits." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Forgiving Dr. Mengele (2006) |
"What a surprisingly inspirational documentary this turns out to be -- and yet, it's not afraid to be straight to the point." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Forgotten (2004) |
"Cool idea. Realized pretty darned well, with some faults. In the "M. Night Shyamalan" genre." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Fountain (2006) |
"A cinematic poem. With a careful, artistic hand, it paints images, scenes, more meant to invoke a feeling. It's a matter of life and death." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Four Brothers (2005) |
"The brothers take a few moments in reflective nostalgia, then springboard into a film of head banging revenge." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Freaky Friday (2003) |
"Pretty darned funny." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Fred Claus (2007) |
"Not only surpassed the lame promises of its advertisements, it proved to be one of the best films I've seen all year. Has that rare wonderful mix of warmth, depth, and funny." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Freddy Got Fingered (2001) |
"Of course he's gross, vile, and pitiful; yet, somehow repulsively endearing." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat B |
Freedom State (2006) |
"Strong opening act had me in a free giggling state, unfortunately, once we as viewers have figured out what the story is about the picture loses its edge." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Freedom Writers (2007) |
"Takes to screen w/gritted teeth & edgy determination to teach something worthwhile. Strong performances & tear jerking message barrel through its sometimes rickety structure" |
Ross Anthony |

Frequency (2000) |
"The best film of the year so far!" |

Frequency (2000) |
""Backdraft" plus "The Sixth Sense"" |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Frida (2002) |
"Nicely acted and painted with an energetic pace; "Frida" is mostly a love story with a backdrop of art and politics." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Friday Night Lights (2004) |
"Football flick that will have you crying like a little baby. Powerfully directed, well-written with stalwart acting. However, gritty audio/visual may abrade." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Friends With Money (2006) |
"Honesty, excellent dialogue, endears us to real faulted people -- reminded me of Sideways. Very good, but could have used little more impact in the message department." |

Funny People (2009) |
"Gangly, long, somewhat disjointed, but still very funny, I found "Funny People" surprisingly emotional, and even poignant." |
