Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"It would be interesting to see the other side's equivalent argument; but they had their chances to prove their version of the truth and continually failed. Check this one." |

FairyTale: A True Story (1997) |
"It's Arthur Rackham vs the Adult/Capitalist/Industrial Revolution - the obsession with exploiting the extraordinary and making it ordinary." |

The Family Stone (2005) |
"The third act is marred by a moment of triteness that is uncharacteristic of the delicious and subtle complexity of the rest of the movie. Not your standard holiday family drivel!" |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3/5 |
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"Despite looking like a children's movie, I don't think kids would like it very much...softens Anderson's fetish for randomness and forces him to stay on track...his kooky brand of humor just works better as a cartoon" |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 5/5 |
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"A delightfully complex movie made in the style of the simplistic, idealistic technicolor 1950?s film, though not about the '50's." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 1/5 |
Farewell Darkness (2008) |
"Keith Compton has a lot asked of him in this movie, required by the script and/or the director to make his consuming rage varied and interesting for 96 minutes. Soon, however, the intensity gets exhausting and then tedious, until the anticlimax." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5 |
Fast, Cheap, & Out of Control (1997) |
"Many filmmakers would turn the work into a mockery; by the end, you respect & care about them & it makes you think about your place in the world." |

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) |
"I was terrified by the constant peril Dr. Gonzo and Thompson put themselves in, and yet drawn to it, like an accident scene." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 2/5 |
Fear Dot Com (2002) |
"Intense, effective creepiness mated with inept, laughable policework - tragic to behold." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3/5 |
Festival in Cannes (2002) |
"The seaside splendor and shallow, beautiful people are nice to look at while you wait for the story to get going." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Fever Pitch (2005) |
"It's nice to have two cute, intelligent, unsure, funny protagonists and still believe in their connection to each other, plus the additional romance of obsessions." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
Fido (2007) |
"If this movie's concept appeals to you at all, I urge you to reward the filmmakers by seeing in the theatre if at all possible. It's so small but so special. For you zombie fans, it's a great dessert after all the carnage, but it still delivers what we" |

Fierce Creatures (1997) |
"close nut no banana" |

Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Final Cut (2004) |
"To dissect The Final Cut is to reduce it – Naim has done a beautiful job making this movie about a whole lot of things, while still making it feel delicate and sparse." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3 |
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) |
"They are both visually very stunning to look at, both a wee on the wooden side, acting-wise, and both a mite forgettable." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 5/5 |
Finding Nemo (2003) |
"The amazing thing about Pixar is that in every film, I go in with incredibly high, unrealistic expectations, & they always excel beyond them." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Finding Neverland (2004) |
"Inspiration for imagination is all around us, if we only will open our eyes and hearts...open yours to this film." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Fired! (2007) |
"Narcisisstic, un-empathetic, but stumbles into genuine entertainment at times despite that." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 2/5 |
Firestarter (1984) |
""back off" indeed" |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 2.5/5 |
Flightplan (2005) |
"If you can forgive the story for being what it is, as I could not, you will probably get your money's worth out of this film. When will they ever learn?" |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Fog of War (2003) |
"Sobering, alarming, and fascinating." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Food, Inc. (2009) |
"His film shows us ugly, faceless corporate greed and its truly fatal consequences, but gives us tools to dismantle or at least throttle back the machine %u2013 and hopefully solve some of the world's ills as well." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) |
"Segel is as vulnerable on screen as any actor I can think of in recent memory, and he bookends his character's journey as a writer just perfectly. It's a funny, lovely movie, and I look forward to more from Segel." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Forgotten (2004) |
"Moore's strength as an actor lifts this film above itself and makes it a fun and exciting ride, as long as you don't know anything going into it." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5 |
Forgotten Silver (1997) |
"It will surely be as elusive to find in the video stores as any of the fake late genius' work, but if you can see it, do see it." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Four Christmases (2008) |
"Feels like they wanted to make 5 different holiday movies and couldn't decide which plot line was best, so they rolled them all together, glossing over everything." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Frailty (2002) |
"Some good ideas went into the meat grinder, but what came out was largely uninteresting absurdist mush." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
Freaky Friday (2003) |
"The best of all the many body-switching offerings - and it's by Disney no less! Go figure." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3/5 |
Fred Claus (2007) |
"Neither as terrible as it could be nor as funny as it should be, this is a painless way to catch a new holiday movie without getting into a fight about what part was the lamest." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
Frida (2002) |
"A biopic of an intense visual artist like Frida Kahlo could only be directed by a woman such as Julie Taymor, whose prior stage & screen work is so visual as to be iconic." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 5/5 |
Friends With Money (2006) |
"If you are a woman, or if you love one, you should see it. You will see yourself somewhere, as with all her movies, and it will change the way you see yourself as well...Holofcener nderstands us better than we admit we understand ourselves" |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Frost/Nixon (2008) |
"The sparring, the research, the failed strategies, and the returns for more elicit an image of boxing more than anything else; while "two men in shorts punch each other until one cannot continue" is also dry on paper, in practice it is much more visceral" |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Full Frontal (2002) |
"While it does beat watching paint dry, at least watching paint dry gives you a sense of something having been accomplished." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5 |
The Full Monty (1997) |
"The only reason it's matinee price instead of full price is that I felt that it all went too well and too American-style easily." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Fun with Dick and Jane (2005) |
"Instead of being a satire of the boom-time keeping up with the Joneses, it morphs into more of a "consumption is king" reaffirmation of that dangerous attitude...would be funnier if it hadn't hurt so many people." |
