Family Guy Presents: Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story (2005)

The movie, such as it is, is awkward and only sporadically funny. It’s not terrible, but it doesn’t live up to itself either. I’d give this one a look if and only if you’re a Family Guy fan.

The Fantastic Four (2005)

This is basically a bunch of special effects and explosions with very bad character moments to fill in the gaps that the budget wouldn’t allow special effects and explosions.

The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

Rise of the Silver Surfer isn't all awesomeness and asskicking, but in a world of dour superheroes and angst, it was fun to see someone put joy into the genre even if the results were mixed.

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

Fantastic Mr. Fox is just fantastic all over and, while some of the sarcastic dialogue and understatement might be off-putting, this is hand down my favorite Wes Anderson movie in that I was entertained and not put to sleep.

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

I'm not sure how much of Fahrenheit 9/11 is the truth and how much is just creative embellishment, but if just 10 percent of this movie is true then I am both frightened and angry.

Failure to Launch (2006)

I hated this movie. Hated every lame, time consuming moment of it. I was so bored during Failure to Launch that I was actually counting the acoustic tiles in the theater ceiling. For me to resort to counting or any form of math while a movie is going on is a sure sign that something is terribly, terribly wrong.

Fear Dot Com (2002)

This is just one of those movies that just tries to capitalize on a bad idea. Not just a bad idea, but a piss poor stupid harebrained idea that no one short of a few people hopped on crack would be remotely interested in.

Fever Pitch (2005)

Rather than seeing this as a romantic comedy about baseball, I'd like to think of Fever Pitch as a movie about the everyday compromises that couples have to make.

Fight Club (1999)

From the rock-n-roll opening credits to the phallic flash before the end credits roll, Fight Club is oozing testosterone and confidence...

Final Destination (2000)

This is my kind of teenie-bopper horror flick. No stupid killer in a mask, no googly-eyed anorexic chicks, no boyish Van Der Beak-like momma's boys.... just your average everyday kids confronted by a killer that is without form, without pity, and without compassion.

Final Destination 2 (2003)

Simply but, if you've got a weak spot for fun, a strong constitution, and a few bucks burning a hole in your pocket, go give this movie a try. It's just 90 gnarly minutes of fun and wincing.

Final Destination 3 (2006)

Final Destination 3 continues this glorious line of mayhem and senseless death and gore. I must say that the opening accident is not that impressive and doesn't even come close to the intensity of the airplane crash or the pile-up featured in the first two movies.

The Final Destination (2009)

This isn't going to be a horror classic and it has a very low probability of showing up in my future bluray collection, but as a temporary diversion and a way to enjoy some good old-fashioned Schadenfreude, it succeeds and, really, was there anything more we were expecting from The Final Destination than that?  I think not.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2005)

A lot like Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Advent Children emphasizes style over substance. The problem is that going in to it a Final Fantasy virgin, you're already missing half of the substance.

Finding Neverland (2004)

Firewall (2005)

Personally, if I was in this guy's family, I don't know if I would ever speak to him again based on how much he seems to value a hundred thousand of someone else's money over the lives of his own brood.

Fired Up (2009)

If you go into this movie not expecting much, you'll probably still be disappointed. This movie thinks small and is small. That big "F.U." on the poster is a message to anyone dumb enough to drop money to see this stinker.

I have no problem with remakes, but if you're not going to at least try to surpass or give a different take on the source material, why bother in the first place?

If you brought this plan to terrorize an airplane to al qeada, I think that they would laugh at you and then shoot you in the kneecaps for insulting them by even mentioning it.

Flushed Away (2006)

While it may not have the heart or charm of Ardman's Chicken Run or Wallace and Grommit, the fast-paced rapid fire jokes and sheer oddity of the story and setting makes Flushed Away a winner for both the booger-eaters and the bill payers.

The Fog (2006)

I'm tired of the trite and predictable stories, I'm tired of the horror movies without the horror, I'm tired of lame CGI monsters, and I think it's way past time that movies like these were wrestled out of the clutches of those who hardly look old enough to shave.

Frailty (2002)

The movie weaves its way through a slow-paced story with unexpected twists and a story so good that it doesn't have to rely on formulas, cheap shocks, or horror clichés. This is just a movie that slowly gets in your face and under your skin.

Freddy Got Fingered (2001)

This movie is the worst movie ever. It’s so bad, that I am collecting donations to hire an ex-con to find Tom Green and hit him repeatedly with a hammer repeating the words, “You are not a funny man!” until the little abortion gone wrong finally gets it.

Friday the 13th (2009)
7.5/10 Stars

Watching this movie is like having your proverbial ride pimped.  Yeah, the extra bling is nice and the enhancements do add something that's been missing from the Friday the 13th experience before, but at the same time you're looking where your cute little fuzzy dice used to hang from the rear view and you're thinking, 'why did they get rid of that?  I liked that!  And why did they paint my car this color?"
