Tomato 4/4 |
F For Fake (1976) |
"Welles, here in his sixties, reveals two new sides to his cinema audience, the prankster and the editor." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
F.W. Murnau's Phantom (1922) |
"Phantom comes across more as a job for hire than as a genuine Murnau masterpiece. But even so, the master filmmaker managed to include several of his own touches" |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Face Off (1997) |
"Watching Face/Off, I was reminded again and again of the great artist who made those great Hong Kong films." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Factotum (2006) |
"Sort of like the daytime version of Barfly's nights, Factotum is a trifle, but one filled with amusing, even touching moments." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Fados (2009) |
"I was familiar with the fado style, but had never heard of any of the performers here, and I still loved this." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Fahrenheit 451 (1966) |
"On the downside, it doesn't particularly feel like a Truffaut film, but on the upside, it's a decent entry in the sci-fi genre." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"[Moore] merely stops after showing these connections, leaving the viewer to finish the job in his or her imagination. That's where the film gets most of its power." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Faithless (2001) |
"Faithless comes with a pedigree that's hard to beat." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Fall of the House of Usher (1960) |
"When Corman pitched the project to his superiors at American International Pictures, they asked, 'where's the monster?' Corman quickly replied, 'the house is the monster.'" |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964) |
"While The Fall of the Roman Empire is even more technically assured than El Cid, it's less interesting narrative-wise." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Fallen Angels (Hong Kong) (1996) |
"The film is Wong's most visually striking, with Wong and Doyle constantly inventing intoxicating new angles for every shot." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
The Falls (1980) |
"The Falls is as unique as any film ever made." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 1/4 |
Fame (2009) |
"In addition to the movie's general awfulness, there's an undercurrent of contempt toward the women characters." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
A Family Affair (2003) |
"We get on board because of [Lesnick's] crazy, singular personality, and we're expected to stay in our seats when she grows conventional and boring." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Family Man (2000) |
"The makers of The Family Man were trying to do a kind of reverse It's a Wonderful Life without ever realizing that it doesn't work on paper, much less on the screen." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Family Plot (1976) |
"It's not exactly top-tier Hitchcock, but it features enough good stuff to make it at least worth one viewing." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"Though the laughs are intact, serious subplots... add an unwelcome weight that shifts the whole thing off-kilter." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Fanboys (2009) |
"It's a little on the lazy side, more content with having fun and dropping names than with actually commenting on anything." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Fando y Lis (1967) |
"A cross between Luis Bunuel and John Waters." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
Fanfan La Tulipe (1952) |
"Even though the film moves at a snappy pace, its story still doesn't move fast enough." |

Tomato |
Fanny and Alexander (1982) |
"The director's most accessible, and perhaps most personal film." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Fantasia 2000 (1999) |
"This new Fantasia corrects some of the flaws of the old movie, but generates some new flaws of its own." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"Right from the start the movie smells like a stinker because of its Z-grade casting. Worst of all is Julian McMahon, overacting as a Kevin Spacy-ish Dr. Doom." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"The film hinges entirely on these gigantic, yet straightforward, simple conflicts, resulting in little or no emotional involvement in the characters." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Fantastic Planet (1973) |
"The animation is crude, but the artwork is never less than astounding." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
The Far Country (1955) |
"The final shootout probably inspired Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller, taking place in the dark, on the ground and crawling in the mud -- purposely clumsy and unheroic." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"An unnerving, entertaining and brilliant piece of film criticism that's not dry or academic." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Fargo (1996) |
"She's a sharp cookie." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"It's all testosterone and swagger, and tries so hard to be cool that it's just the opposite." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 0/4 |
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) |
"This piece of junk is so bad that even Paul Walker turned it down." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Fast Company (1979) |
"A solid little "B" movie that crosses the finish line.
" |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Fast Food Nation (2006) |
"Rather than looking down on viewers as dumb, blank slates to be taught and converted, [Linklater] simply invites us to participate in the conversation." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Fast Food, Fast Women (2001) |
"This movie's goofy charm won me over by the time it ended." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Fast Runner (2002) |
"Surviving and getting through the day becomes gripping drama. Even if the good vs. evil story is overly familiar, I guarantee the beautiful, sensual setting is not." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) |
"Director Amy Heckerling almost encourages the film's shapelessness, letting the individual moments speak for themselves, rather than molding a cohesive whole." |

Fat Girl (2001) |
"Time to let your breath out. The worst movie of 2001 is here." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Father and Son (2004) |
"Father and Son is definitely a puzzle, and frankly I was about to walk out on it before it drastically improved." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
FAUST (1926) |
"The overall film is truly masterful." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Fay Grim (2007) |
"Behind it all is a great, deadpan laugh; I like it a good deal more than Henry Fool." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) |
"A bizarre masterpiece that invents a brilliantly skewed perspective and sustains it for a nearly impossible 117 minutes." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Fear City (1984) |
"Ferrara lets his presence be known by lingering on the more gruesome moments, when lesser directors would shy away." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 1/4 |
Fear Dot Com (2002) |
"Feardotcom invents a whole new kind of bad." |

Fear X (2003) |
"As the film builds, director Refn skillfully allows Harry to get both closer and farther away form his goal, like an optical illusion." |
