Final Terror Sometimes the real pleasure in watching old school slasher horror flicks is not because they are any good (they’re not) but rather because they feature young up and coming actors in one of their early roles before they became A list stars. A VERY good example of this would be a film such […]

Finding Neverland If there was ever a movie that came out in theatres at the worst possible time, it was this 2004 film, released at the height of the Michael Jackson scandal which in turn compelled audiences to stay away in droves for fear they would witness the sight of Johnny Depp molesting little boys. […]

The Firm It’s easy to look at a given person or a group of people who are the most incredibly successful at their chosen profession and think that there has to be something that’s just not right in what they’re doing that somehow led to their great success. Much of this can be amplified even […]

First Blood Forever known as the movie that started the legend in cinema known as John Rambo, director Ted Kotcheff’s seminal 1982 action classic follows the ex-Vietnam vet as he drifts aimlessly across the Pacific Northwest before he comes to a small town to meet up with an old war buddy who has since passed […]

First Knight With its uninspired battle scenes, awfully tepid dialogue, and third-rate romantic subplot, this so-called epic and bastardization of the legend of King Arthur fails on nearly every level save for competent production values, kicking off with possibly the most mundane burning and pillaging of a village you could ever imagine while the opening […]

Fistful Of Dollars The Spaghetti Western not only revolutionized the Western genre with gritty violence and darker characters and motivations, it also revolutionized the film industry itself, proving that foreign films (if good enough) could shake that very stigma of having been spawned in a foreign culture and be accepted by audiences worldwide including American […]

Flags Of Our Fathers War movies have been known for showing the horrors of combat, of making us relate to the men involved, but should always leave no doubt that that all of these men were heroes with a ton of courage. Clint Eastwood’s 2006 war film, about the Battle Of Iwo Jima, appears to […]

Flash Gordon There have been very few producers in the history of world cinema who have better possessed the deceptively simple ability to GET THINGS DONE than the one and only Dino De Laurentiis. Once committed to a project, the man wasted little time to get all of the principals onto a set, get the […]

Flashback It is a well-documented fact that by 1989, Dennis Hopper (who literally changed the world with his 60s classic Easy Rider) had come out of his tailspin and cleaned up his act enough to be a respected, much-sought after actor and director, but he still was self-aware of his image enough to accept a […]
