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.

FATHER OF THE BRIDE 1991
Release: Dec 91 - Review: 11 Jul 11
Bridal Cower.
...a rarity in the pantheon of White American Romantic Comedies (WARC). Firstly, because it's watchable. Secondly, because it is post-comedy Steve Martin and it's still watchable.

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.

THE FIGHTER
Release: Dec 10 - Review: 11 Oct 11
Trailer Trash Writ Glorious.
Bale's Herculean immersion into his wild-eyed character drove this film, which, without his involvement, would have been merely another lazy story about an underdog clawing his way to the middle echelons of a testosterone-induced inferiority-complex dick measuring competition...

Release: Sep 97 - Review: 26 Feb 11
Fire Nowhere Near.
In the unfocused environmental actioner FIRE DOWN BELOW, Steven Seagal (as undercover EPA federal agent Jack Taggart) strides from one fist-fight into the next with that same expressionless expression... |

FIREFLY SEASON ONE
Release: Sep 02 - Review: 17 Nov 11
Gorram good - once you get past the rutting cheapness.
Whedon imbues his space-based television series with a Wild West iconography that gives it a familiar roll around the tongue, the 1800's Zeitgeist lending a unique spin to the space campiness.

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 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 Jemaine Clement, the eclectic musical parody duo Flight of The Conchords, return with a passion. And a lightning bottle.

FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX 2004
Release: Dec 04 - Review: 30 Jul 11
Phoenix rising from the hashes.
This PHOENIX has exemplary production values, so all they had to do was Not Add Dumb Stuff. Or OutKast. Guess not everyone got that memo.
