Here's one, but I don't know if it's what you are looking for:

One program they mention, FilmFX, is for Premier Pro.

Sounds like non-sense to me.

If you are talking about editing, most films use simple cuts and disolves with title mixes or rolls at the beginning and end.

If you are talking about effects that is a complex subject. Get specific.

If you are talking about making video look like film, google "film look" and have at it. Better to try a web or real film school to learn the craft. Film camera technique is very different from typical camcorder handheld shooting. Special 24fps video camcorders exist to help you work in video using film technique.

BTW, at least 75% of the difference: film is lit and actor and camera motion blocking/focus is rehearsed and controlled.
