FAHRENHEIT
9/11
Release: Jun 04 - Review: 4 Sep 05 
In Moore Ways Than One.
With this film, Moore has provided the
rejoinder to years of enduring the fascist whims of a
government despicable enough to wield the specter of the
long-since-razed Twin Towers as collateral.

FAME 2009
 Release: Sep 09 - Review: 28 Jan 10 
Lame.
...rushed production that flits through so many storylines and characters at the New York School of Performing Arts, it implodes with two-dimensionality.

FANTASTIC FOUR
 Release: Jul 05 - Review: 5 Jul 07 
Fourscore Bore.
...reasonable actors stuck in roles which afford them no time to reach (or do second takes), as the budget had to be funneled into hedonistic advertising, explosions, electrical “bzzz” things and pretty orange effects for the Human Torch.

FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER
Release: Jul 07 - Review: 9 Jul 07
More FOUR Bore.
...what could have been epic and disturbing is handled with gloved thumbs by director Story and egregious so-called performances by the egregious so-called actors.

THE
FIFTH ELEMENT
Release: May 97 - Review: 11 Jul 06 
Slammin', Glammin' and Hammin'.
I get the feeling critics are jealous
that Euros can pull off an action blockbuster with as
much brainless flair as Americans - with twice the guilty
pleasure.

FIREFOX
Release: Jun 82 - Review: 21 Feb 09
Foxy Harry.
FIREFOX is a dark horse in the Clint canon. It's him all right, pulling all the Clint faces, slamming the same Clint right hooks - but the movie just lacks grip.

FLIGHT
93
Release: Jan 06 - Review: 5 Jul 06
Flight of Fancy.
... would retain
more credibility and tragedy were it not for the insistence
of the media and families of the deceased in forcing the
mantle of "hero" onto the departed.

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS SEASON ONE
Release: Jun 07 - Review: 8 Nov 09
Ripping Musical Yarns from slightly to the right of Down Unda.
FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS is Tenacious D without the raunch - but just as much a spank in the groin. That is, it will leave you breathless from laughing so hard (and you may have cracked a nut).

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS SEASON TWO
Release: Jan 09 - Review: 13 Dec 09
The Conchords still Rock the Party.
Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement, the eclectic musical parody duo Flight of The Conchords, return with a passion. And a lightning bottle.

THE FOOT FIST WAY
Release: May 08 - Review: 18 Aug 09
The Foot Mouth In.
...an uneven bid at indie cult, as it explores themes of narcissism and self-esteem, filled with non-sequitur characters, bad actors, and jokes that Will Ferrell would find funny.

THE FOUNTAIN
 Release: Nov 06 - Review: 1 May 08 
Doubtin' The Fountain.
Raving beauty, rabid camera angling and startlingly somber performances almost save this movie from its own convoluted and ambitious storyline spiraling down the artsy-fartsy toilet.

FRENCH KISS
 Release: May 95 - Review: 6 Jun 09
French Crass.
Ryan is so ingenuously irritating and cloying and provincial and desperate and ugly it is no wonder she had that facelift that destroyed her face and career.

FRIDAY THE 13TH
 Release: May 80 - Review: 1 Nov 09
Lucky Number 13.
This might not be the original Stupid Knife-Kill Movie (HALLOWEEN holds that crown) - but it's definitely one of the stupidest.

FROST/NIXON
Release: Dec 08 - Review: 22 Dec 08
...and the Truth shall set you bleed...
...from the stunning real life interviews that ex-president Richard M. Nixon granted British television host, David Frost in 1977, Ron Howard's compelling FROST/NIXON does what Oliver Stone's milky W. never could - it gets the job done.

FUN
WITH DICK AND JANE
Release: Dec 05 - Review: 22 Jan 06 
Not
Much Fun with Dick and Jane.
To
say that Adam Sandler is turning into a mediocre actor
is a compliment of the highest order. To say the same
thing about Jim Carrey is a tragedy for American Cinema.
