Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"See it and start engaging in the national debate. The aftermath of an event as tragic and important as Sept. 11 deserves nothing less than our most intense scrutiny." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2/4 |
Failure to Launch (2006) |
"Failure to Launch shoots itself in the foot by refusing to take its premise seriously. The very thing that seems most interesting is the same thing that the film goes out of its way to avoid dealing with." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Fallen (1998) |
"Fallen aims to be a classy thriller, but it never gets under your skin the way it should." |

The Family Man (2000) |
"For all its obviousness, there is a sweetness in this movie that really got to me." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"One of the things I like about The Family Stone is that the characters seem real. They may have some quirks, but they're realistic quirks, not those devised by an overly clever screenwriter." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"We know what comic book movies are capable of being. They can have greatness in them. Fantastic Four has nothing more than okay-ness." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"Rise of the Silver Surfer isn't a huge improvement, and it doesn't even try to reinvent the wheel, but its minor upgrades here and there make a cumulative difference." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 4/4 |
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"By filtering the subject matter through the form of old movies - which buried such ideas under subtle insinuation - Todd Haynes has produced an enlightening and vastly entertaining masterpiece." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Fast & Furious (2009) |
"Fast & Furious represents a drastic drop in quality for the series. The reason is simple: it abandons the central premise of the franchise, which seems a betrayal of the very thing that made the other entries so enjoyable." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"A guilty pleasure" |

Fearless (2006) |
"An entertaining and admirably ambitious movie that promises a feast of martial arts combat, which it delivers along with a poignant message of peace." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Fever Pitch (2005) |
"The film knows what it’s like to be a devoted fan and how frustrating it can be to love a devoted fan. The screenplay does a good job of looking at the issue from both sides." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 9/10 |
Fight Club (1999) |
"This movie is almost hypnotically weird, and I liked it for that very reason. Not everyone will." |

Final Destination 3 (2006) |
"Fans of the series won't be terribly disappointed, but if there's an FD4, I hope they have the sense to scale things back just a little bit. Comparing FD3 to the original proves that a modicum of restraint is most effective." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) |
"Not just for genre audiences... deserves to be appreciated by anyone looking for smart, classy entertainment." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 4/4 |
Finding Nemo (2003) |
"There’s real heart in this movie without needing lots of superficial whiz-bang stuff." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Finding Neverland (2004) |
"Finding Neverland was a real discovery for me. How many of us knew what a personal, emotional, and heartfelt tale this was?" |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Firewall (2006) |
"Firewall feels like other movies we've seen starring the same actor...It feels like Harrison Ford is phoning in his performance this time." |

First Daughter (2004) |
"If you must see one of the two Presidential daughter movies – this is the one to see. But like Chasing
Liberty, it never delivers on the potential of the premise.

Flags of Our Fathers (2006) |
"This is anything but a big-budget exercise in flag waving. Instead, it is a deeply provocative deconstruction of the very idea of heroism." |

Flicka (2006) |
"This is a genuinely nice movie that wears its old-fashioned values proudly, and I had a good time watching it. Flicka is for the teenage girl in all of us." |

Splat 2.5 |
Flight of the Phoenix (2004) |
"Everything that’s good [in the film] has a downside, and everything that doesn’t work has something that keeps it from failing completely." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Flightplan (2005) |
"When the movie was over, I stepped out into the daylight and felt a weird sensation. It was a form of relief. The suspense had gotten to me more deeply than I expected." |

For Your Consideration (2006) |
"For Your Consideration may be a little too insider-ish for viewers unfamiliar with the very real workings of awards hype. However, if you follow such things, there are plenty of knowing laughs to be found." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2/4 |
The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) |
"I'm totally in the target audience for this film, having long been a fan of both actors as well as the genre itself. But the fact is that this thing just didn't work for me, and I'm completely frustrated by that." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/5 |
Forbidden Zone (1980) |
"A much better cult classic than "Rocky Horror"" |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) |
"The movie is very wise, but also unbelievably funny, proving again that the line between comedy and tragedy is a thin one. Forgetting Sarah Marshall makes you laugh and squirm in recognition at the same time." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2/4 |
The Forgotten (2004) |
"Because the film starts off so believably, its eventual transition into “Outer Limits” territory seems dishonest." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Fountain (2006) |
"Beautiful and profoundly moving...This is a film I want to see several more times." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Four Brothers (2005) |
"Although there is some undeniable entertainment value here, the plot of Four Brothers ultimately proves to be pretty standard." |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Four Christmases (2008) |
"Four Christmases boasts one of the most impressive casts ever assembled to make a movie that is, at best, only mildly amusing." |

The Fox and the Child (2008) |
"If, for example, Alvin and the Chipmunks is a children's movie, then The Fox and the Child is a children's movie for children who'd prefer to hang out at the local arthouse cinema than at the multiplex." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Fracture (2007) |
"I'm glad I saw it, and there were some very admirable elements to the film. Yet I have to acknowledge that it could have capitalized on the good stuff a little more than it did." |

Frailty (2002) |
"This is one of the creepiest and most disturbing movies I've ever seen." |
