Reviews

Over the course of our more than 15-year existence, FSR has published thousands of reviews. We have reviewed movies from film festivals like Sundance, SXSW, TIFF, and Cannes. We review new theatrical and streaming releases. We even have two recurring columns — Previously On and Up Next — in which we review new and returning TV shows. And just as a fun fact, we used to give out letter grades with our reviews.

TV Review: Entourage 5.12 – Return To Queens Blvd

Review: In Regards to Your Movie, ‘Twilight’

By  

This movie was so close to being fantastic that it’s even more frustrating just how cringe-worthily awful it is.

Review: ‘Twilight’ is a Love Letter to Fans, But Nothing More

By  

There are certain things that I believe we’ve come to expect from vampire movies — they are either brutal and violent or sexy and glamorous, or both. Twilight is neither.

Review: ‘Special’ Takes the Superhero Genre to an Odd New Place

By  

Special is a solid film because it sticks to the basics – a great script, and a stellar performance by a talented lead actor.

TV Review: Sons of Anarchy 1.12 – The Sleep of Babies

By  

In need of cash to fund Bobby’s defense, Clay’s solution leaves Samcro in a vulnerable position. What’s supposed to be a happy homecoming for Abel ends in more turmoil for the club.

Foreign Objects: Young People F*cking

By  

Travel to sunny Canada, but just because the movie’s title dresses like a slut doesn’t mean it actually is a slut. It’s more talk and less action.

TV Review: Californication 2.8 – Down and Out In Beverly Hills

By  

Hank spends the day at the home of Janie Jones trying to get the back story on her relationship with Lew Ashby. When Janie’s husband comes home early, Hank is forced to bide his time in the pool house with the Jones family maid, Rosario.
