1/5

Fade to Black (1980)

"A film that gives movie buffs a bad name."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

Fahrenheit 451 (1966)

"A keen adaptation of Ray Bradbury's novel by Truffaut; eerie in its simplicity and matter-of-factness about book burning and Big Brotherism."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/4

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

" Objectivity and balance are nowhere to be seen or heard in Fahrenheit 9/11. Moore’s moral outrage drives his film. His passion is his film's strength as well as its weakness."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/4

Fame (2009)

"What "Fame" lacks in originality, it makes up for in heart. And that tips the ledger in my book."

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/5

The Fan (1996)

"Strike three, you're out. A stinker that should have been postponed because of inept filmmaking."

Bob Bloom

Splat

Fantastic Four (2005)

"The feature is neither disappointing, nor memorable. It is just average, which is something a superhero or band of heroes cannot be."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3.5/4

Far From Heaven (2002)

"You needn’t be steeped in '50s sociology, pop culture or movie lore to appreciate the emotional depth of Haynes’ work. Though Haynes’ style apes films from the period ... its message is not rooted in that decade."

Bob Bloom

Splat
2/4

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

"The cars are the real stars of the movie. They are jazzy and fast and have more personality than most of the actors. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Fat Man and Little Boy (1989)

"An interesting historical drama, but lacks the personal touch."

Bob Bloom

Splat
2/5

Father's Day (1997)

"Two comic minds, one disappointing movie."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Festival Express (2004)

" This is a wonderful experience for fans of Garcia, Joplin and those heady days when rock stars actually connected with the people. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Fiddler on the Roof (1971)

"A lavish musical, too lavish for the subject matter, though."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
5/5

Field of Dreams (1989)

"The finest and most sentimental baseball movie ever made. If the ending doesn't bring tears to your eyes, you are made of stone. A must-see."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

The Fighting Temptations (2003)

"... With voices such as Beyonce Knowles and Melba Moore in the cast, the music is quite good."

Bob Bloom

Final Destination 2 (2003)

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Final Destination 2 (2003)

"Even if the movie is not your cup of tea, the extras offer an attractive alternative."

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/4

The Final Season (2007)

"Most of the townspeople are archetypes. In fact, you get the feeling the town is populated by character actors and not real people. "

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/4

Firewall (2006)

"Firewall offers nothing new nor original. It is a retread, formulaic to the nth degree, with every cliché telegraphed reels ahead of when they occur."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

The Firm (1993)

"An exciting thriller; Holly Hunter is fun and Gene Hackman, as always, steals the show."

Bob Bloom

Splat

Fist of the Red Dragon (1993)

". . . Hearing badly dubbed Occidental voices spewing hokey dialogue from Oriental mouths negates the drama of this widescreen presentation . . ."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

Five Easy Pieces (1970)

"Nicholson at his angry, young man peak. Cynical, anti-authoritarian drama."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

The Five Heartbeats (1991)

"An underrated drama about the ups and downs of a Temptations-like r&b group with solid acting and fine music. If you haven't seen it, rent it. It's worth it."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/4

Flags of Our Fathers (2006)

" Flags of Our Fathers is one of the best movies of the year, one which will be hard to ignore come the Academy Award nominations. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Flaming Star (1960)

"Pretty good Elvis vehicle; the young man could act."

Bob Bloom

Splat
0/5

Flash Gordon (1980)

"a total bomb; an insult to the original serials; not even good camp."

Bob Bloom

Splat
2/5

Fletch (1985)

"If you like Chevy Chase, you'll like this movie. If not, it's just a time killer."

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/5

Fletch Lives (1989)

"Too bad, he did. Maybe if he hadn't this sequel won't have been necessary."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

The Fly (1958)

""Help me, help me!" Great camp."

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/5

The Fly II (1989)

"Another unnecessary sequel with gross-out special effects."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Flying Down to Rio (1933)

"An OK musical that really sparkles when Fred and Ginger dance together for the first time."

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/4

Fool's Gold (2008)

"The only people who will get any enjoyment out of this feature are those who love to ogle Matthew McConaughey shirtless ..."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
5/5

Forbidden Planet (1956)

"An all-time favorite; great soundtrack, wonderful "Monster from the Id" and a fetching Anne Francis."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

The Four Feathers (1939)

"One of the great adventure films of all times, with Clements doing his best stiff upper lip heroics to redeem himself in the eyes of his friends and the girl he loves. Richardson is wonderful and touching as the officer gone blind whose honor and compassi"

Bob Bloom

Splat

The Four Feathers (2002)

"The movie tries not to offend anyone, except for the British, who are depicted as arrogant white supremacists who treat their dark-skinned subjects with brutality."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

The Four Musketeers (1974)

"A grand mixture of adventure and comedy at the deft hand of Lester."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/4

The Fourth Kind (2009)

"(Director) Olatunde Osunsanmi, his cast and crew work so hard to make it all seem so real that you spend more time debating with yourself whether what you are watching is truth or fiction ..."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
2.5/4

Fracture (2007)

"Fracture is good, it’s steady, but it is flat. It fails to deliver any high points of drama or confrontation, even at the payoff."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Frankenstein Created Woman (1967)

"Not one of the better Hammer sequels, but still enjoyable for its wild concept."

Bob Bloom

Freaks (1932)

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Freaks (1932)

"The DVD features a new documentary about the making of the movie, with author and horror film expert David Skal ... who also provides a very interesting commentary track."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Freddy vs. Jason (2003)

".. . This New Line Home Entertainment Platinum Series two-disc DVD set has a bunch of interesting extras that will appeal to fans of the genre. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Free Willy (1993)

"A good family picture that does not get too sweet; worth a look."

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/4

Freedomland (2005)

"Freedomland is sloppy; plot points are introduced, then left dangling; characters who are involved throughout most of the feature simply disappear ..."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

The French Connection (1971)

"Hackman is dangerous, charismatic; the chase scene is timeless; a marvelous urban drama, not to be missed."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

Frenzy (1972)

"Wonderful Hitchcock, the McCowen scenes with his wife are hilarious"

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/4

Friday Night Lights (2004)

" Friday Night Lights can be seen as Hoosiers in shoulder pads, especially in the emotional connection between the townspeople and the team. "

Bob Bloom

Splat
2/5

The Frisco Kid (1979)

"Funny, it's not. Sometimes stereotypically offensive, it is."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Fritz Lang - Epic Collection

"Fans of German films, silent movies and Lang will be captivated by the scope of these larger-than-life features."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/4

From Hell (2001)

"The Hughes brothers do not disappoint."

Bob Bloom

Splat

Funny Bones (1995)
