F

54 - The plot, direction, and visuals here totally defeat everything good the film.

Fabled - Is an oh-so cool and hip, MTV-styled, glossy film that is much more about style than substance…

The Faculty - Enough half-naked cute teenagers running around like crazy to keep us into the film.

Fahrenheit 9/11 - Moore becomes nothing less than the greatest orator on the nature of freedom since Thomas Payne, and the greatest writer on the subject of war since George Orwell.

Fall to Grace - Yes, this is a great story. Yes, there is a great script and a great cast to bring it to life. The cinematography is top-notch; the music is great; and the editing is nearly perfect.

Family Fundamentals - The subject matter is so tired and reflected so much better in other documentaries.

Family Farm - May have a lot of information in it, but it includes most of it by its unfocused, meandering approach to telling its story.

The Family Stone - Sometimes even a film that sucks very hard has one moment of beauty in it.

A Family Thing - Simply states the facts and allows us to make up our own minds.

Fantastic 4 - Lackluster and irritating, the film isn't even good ol' fluffy popcorn fun.

The Fantasticks - Where is the audience for this film?

Far From Heaven - This film is, simply put, one of the very best you will ever see.

Fargo - The plot of the film revolves around the Made-for-TV premise.

Fashions - Spring 1996 - We find ourselves amused and intrigued.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - The film is humorous quite often. It's just not enough to save the work.

Felicia's Journey - Imagine if you built a million dollar mansion and then put a flimsy tarp over it for the roof. That's what Atom Egoyan does with "Felicia's Journey."

Female Trouble - Waters' first film with a real linear storyline and he sets the film to span over 14 years from 1960 into (and beyond?) 1974.

15 Minute Tape - Will evoke an hour of discussion if you see it with a friend. That is, if you can sit through it.

Fight Club - is the first film in a long time which seems to have the possibility of being able to change the world. It's dead set on a course for all out chaos and anarchy. You can feel the excitement. You can experience the adrenaline rush of testosterone straight to your heart. You can see the coming of the savior of the millennium.

The Filth and the Fury - Tells the story of the Pistols in a rather typical and chronological narrative arrangement.

Final Destination - It's a good idea and filmmaker James Wong, does his absolute best to eek the most possibilities out of it.

Finding Nemo - Without a doubt, the weakest Pixar film yet.

Finding Neverland - Does have a wonderful message and a good-heartedness that makes it worth while.

5x2 - A movie about a woman who seemingly likes to be date raped and the asshole that she marries.

The Five Obstructions - Perhaps the most pointless, insipid, frustrating, egotistical and pedantic film ever made.

5 Sides of a Coin - Covers a lot about Hip Hop music and culture in its short 70 minute run time.

The Flight of the Phoenix - An engrossing and likeable film with moments of extreme drama, human comedy and heartwarming inspiration.

Flirt - Once again finds Hartley doing what he does best.

Fluff - At least the film has a wonderfully "gay" sensibility and is hardly ever really offensive.

The Fluffer - Perhaps the best gay themed drama of this or any other year.

The Fog of War - The most intense and yet flattering verison of a documentary subject since 1993 and Ray Muller's amazing yet faulty "The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl."

Food of Love - If this movie be the food of love... then it's a bit bitter and hard to swallow.

Forbidden Games - Odd yet subdued, perverse yet sweet, joyous yet sorrowful, Rene Clement's "Forbidden Games" is a complex film that deals with a complex subject: Death.

The Forgotten - If you try and really think about this film's plot at the end, you'll see there are more holes here then in a pound of that proverbial Swiss cheese.

The 40 Year Old Virgin - This is a film as jammed with sexual related humor as any teen sex pic.

The Fountainhead - One of the strangest movies ever lensed.

Four Brothers - A coolness that underscores an interesting character study.

Four Feathers - I imagine that this film will get re-released in January to remind Oscar voters just how good it is.

The 400 Blows - Leaves us with a lot of unanswered questions.

Four Rooms - A feature film comprised of four vignettes by new, supposedly exciting filmmakers, "Four Rooms," leaves a lot to be desired.

Freaks - One thing the film does have is sexual innuendo.

Freaky Friday - There should be more heart here.

Freddie Mercury: The Untold Story - There just seems to be a huge chunk of the man's life; his rock star idol image as the frontman of Queen, mainly; left out.

Freud's Second Law - A children's play has more plot than this film. A grocery list has more plot than this film.

Frida - If you know who Frida Kahlo is, this film is like one of her colorful, beguiling and troubling paintings come viscerally to life.

Friday Night Lights - This is a film that goes and goes and goes and only slows down for moments of pure poetic brilliance that captivates our spirits and our hearts.

From Dusk Till Dawn - Begins as a riveting madmen on the lamb film and ends in a gore-fest of vampires and their blood-lust.

From Hell - Death blood blackness sadness horror sex lust dreams drugs blood blood blood. Horror.

Frontier - As unique as... well, so unique as to be uncatagorizable. I guarantee you have never seen anything like it.

Fuck - The exploration of the world's seemingly most offensive expletive.

The Full Monty - It's a film where "average Joe" types decide to go the "Chippendale" route and put on a strip show to make a little money.

Funny Ha Ha - The improvisational style of the acting, the horrible camera work, the dull visual, and the overly subtle storytelling work against the film succeeding at every step.

Fun with Dick and Jane - The people who made this movie don't know dick about comedy.
