Take the Lead (2006) |
"Oozing old-school gentility and charm, Banderas fits the role of ballroom dance instructor Pierre Dulaine as if he were born to play it." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
Take the Lead (2006) |
"A fast-paced, engaging, feel-good film." |
Geoff Roberts |
Tomato |
Taken (2009) |
"An exciting white-knuckle ride for action junkies and those who like to see the enemy get the raw end of a deal." |
Frank Wilkins |
Tomato |
Taken (2009) |
"'Taken' can be admired as a precise, efficient, and single-minded genre picture." |
John P. McCarthy |
Tomato |
Taking Lives (2004) |
"A better-than-average crime thriller with one of the most suspenseful capture sequences I've seen in years." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) |
"Filled with speeded-up camera work, which makes the movie pratically unwatchable for migraine sufferers like me." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
Taking Woodstock (2009) |
"Captures a lost innocence -- but the toneless monosyllables and "very cool's" and "groovy's" grow quickly vapid or spacey." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
The Tale of Despereaux (2008) |
"This stirring animated family film raises the bar for intricate plotting yet may be too scary for the preschool set." |
John P. McCarthy |
Splat |
A Tale Of Two Sisters (2003) |
"This acclaimed South Korean horror movie slowly comes undone by dragging out certain scenes and attempting to be too complex.

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) |
"[Minghella] certainly deserves kudos for including those stunning location shots as well as such incredibly haunting background music. And, of course, for casting the talented Mr. Damon." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
Talk to Her (2002) |
"Almost operatic in its execution, 'Talk to Her' packs quite an emotional wallop." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |
"With his fearless comic approach, Will Ferrell manages to make Ricky Bobby one of his funniest film characters." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |
"'Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby' is a humorous and entertaining comedy which successfully satirizes the world of auto racing." |

Tamara (2006) |
"'Tamara' resembles an estrogen-charged Frankenstein's monster, a horror flick borrowing elements from such great genre films as 'Carrie' and 'May.'" |

Tarnation (2004) |
"'Tarnation' does not engage the spectator. One is uncomfortable but, with no point from which to approach, no more than that." |

Tattoo Bar (2002) |
"With its extraneous characters, supposed plot twists and dead red herrings, 'Tattoo Bar' makes Raymond Chandler seem simple." |

Splat 6/10 |
Taxi (2004) |
"I love Latifah, who almost does the job here, and that's probably the highest compliment I can pay Taxi." |
Jeffrey Chen |
Splat |
Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999) |
"Helen Mirren's acting stands out in this mean-spirited dark comedy like an original Picasso in a paint-by-numbers art show." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
Team America: World Police (2004) |
"Despite the film's originality, I grew tired of looking at all those puppets after about 15 minutes, which is how I usually I feel when watching any wooden actors." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
Tears of the Black Tiger (2000) |
"Tears of the Black Tiger is at the same time serious parody and loving tribute, the sincerest flattery." |
Donald J. Levit |
Splat |
Tears of the Sun (2003) |
"A worthy story marred by too much dark cinematography and sketchy character development." |
Betty Jo Tucker |

Teknolust (2002) |
"'Teknolust' embarrassingly resembles insulting, insistent television commercials. Unfortunately, they may be the future." |

Tomato |
Tell Them Who You Are (2005) |
"This poignant documentary rises above the usual uncritical retrospective in that its star is an unbending talent, self-destructively flawed." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006) |
"Somehow, the cinema gods blessed The D with their presence and made just about everything they cook up stick to the wall." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
The Tenants (2005) |
"This film version of 'The Tenants'is a disservice to author Bernard Malamud as well as to the audience.

The Tenement (2003) |
"It's gory, campy and scary -- three important elements to fans of this genre." |

Diana Saenger |

The Terminal (2004) |
"A handful of scenes are effective in isolation, but 'The Terminal' doesn't hold together overall." |
John P. McCarthy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Terminator Salvation (2009) |
"Starts off strong but resorts to one headache-inducing and repetitive action sequence too many." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Terminator Salvation (2009) |
"The script is lacking and the acting merely serviceable in 'Terminator Salvation.'" |
John P. McCarthy |

Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1988) |
"In 'Tetsuo,' I see a mind-blowing slice of social commentary struggling to fight through layers of over-stylized filmmaking techniques.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) |
"As a portrait of how low and depraved human beings can be, this horror movie is chillingly effective." |
Robert Ford |
Splat 6/10 |
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) |
"The new movie isn't bad -- not bad at all -- it's just not very Texas Chainsaw Massacre-ish." |
Jeffrey Chen |
Splat |
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) |
"Trying to establish the cannibal clan's motives and to bring even a hint of profundity to the legend of Leatherface, seems too pretentious for me." |

Tomato |
Thank You For Smoking (2006) |
"Aaron Eckhart puts in a commanding performance and receives solid support from a stellar ensemble in this amusing satire." |
Geoff Roberts |
Tomato 7/10 |
Thank You For Smoking (2006) |
"[Tends] to overstate itself -- both in its concerns and its humor. Eckhart, though, consistently brings the movie to the viewer's level." |

That Championship Season (1982) |

That's My Bush! - The Definitve Collection (2001) |
"Rife with inconsitent and controversial humor." |
Geoff Roberts |

The Clone Wars (2008) |
"In addition to being flat-out unpleasant to look at, 'The Clone Wars' serves next to no purpose in the 'Star Wars' universe." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
The Counterfeiters (2008) |
"'The Counterfeiters,' a movie of quiet power, proves that filmmakers don't need epics to create a stirring and effective Holocaust tale." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
The Counterfeiters (2008) |
"Convincing and superb acting in 'The Counterfeiters' allows you to examine the film's characters with all of their moral defects." |
Jacqueline Jung |

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) |
"The film's visual sheen is top-notch, but the plot doesn't even come close to grabbing your attention." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) |
"Sci-fi fans of the first 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' will probably experience more than a moment's worth of discomfort, but this remake is not horrible." |
John P. McCarthy |
Tomato |
The Duchess of Langeais (2008) |
"Jeanne Balibar is radiant in Antoinette's deception and self-deception that speak of and to all lovers, male as well as female." |
Donald J. Levit |

The Polar Express (2004) |
"'The Polar Express' is a rare Christmas gift for all ages." |
Diana Saenger |

The Signal (2007) |
"Tossing all underlying themes and social commentary aside, 'The Signal' ends up as a complete blast to watch." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
Thelma & Louise (1991) |
"A great example of how the filmmaking elements - writing, directing, performance - can complement each other so perfectly that every scene comes alive with warmth and energy." |
Robert Ford |
Splat |
Them (2007) |
"'Them' maintains a buttoned-up attitude that, like the British slasher satire 'Severance,' proves to be its undoing." |
