9 Aerosol Can Flamethrowers

by Doug Schultz
Patricia Arquette deservedly won an Oscar this past weekend for Boyhood, which reminded me of her even better performance in True Romance (featured during this year's #FThisMovieFest), a film in which she fends off Virgil (James Gandolfini) using a can of hairspray as a makeshift flamethrower. Here are some others examples of movies that include this improvised weapon.

7 Movies in Which an Adult Child Confronts an Estranged Parent

by Doug Schultz
Whilst watching Inside Llewyn Davis  (a truly excellent film, so brace yourself for this NITPICK), I was struck (STRUCK!) by how often films depict scenes in which a child confronts his or her estranged parent. Whether it be visiting a mother with dementia in a nursing home, or confronting a dickhead father who used to molest you, these movie kids JUST WANT A LITTLE CLOSURE (and maybe a hug? Let's not get greedy). Disclaimer: this list is by no means complete -- can you think of more?

Movies I Love: True Romance

by Patrick Bromley
Today's F This Movie! entry was originally going to be a review of The Master, the new movie from Paul Thomas Anderson that's due out in about a month. But then Tony Scott got diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor (or maybe he didn't) and chose to jump off a bridge and kill himself rather than wait to die, and it seemed like I should write something about it. He wasn't a filmmaker that always meant a lot to me, but he did make one movie that means more to me than most. For that, I will forever be grateful.
