The Take (2008) |
"Things never quite come together and the central plot focus of the family drama is never plausible enough to make for compelling cinema." |
Peter Brunette |
Splat |
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) |
"A professionally mounted genre exercise which tries to please both the thriller and social drama crowds and suffers as a result." |
Brent Simon |
Tomato |
Taking Woodstock (2009) |
"Enjoyable in places and merely humdrum in others, Taking Woodstock ultimately feels like a minor Ang Lee digression in between more memorable works." |
Allan Hunter |
Splat |
The Tale of Despereaux (2008) |
"A somewhat charmless affair which, while striking to look at, fails to come to dramatic life." |
Mike Goodridge |
Tomato |
Taxidermia (2007) |
"To Palfi's credit, he never attempts to titillate. His mind-boggling visual imagination is ably supported by Gergely Poharnok's camera and the art direction." |
Dan Fainaru |
Splat |
Terminator Salvation (2009) |
"None of the actors has much to work with but Worthington and Yelchin manage to give their characters some appeal. Bale’s Connor is too gruff and one-note to be of much interest." |
John Hazelton |
Splat |
Tetro (2009) |
"[Builds] towards a cathartic third-act sequence (set among the glaciers of Patagonia) which does, finally, possess a sort of weird power. But it’s a long stretch to get there." |

The Clone Wars (2008) |
"Strong new characters are disappointingly thin on the ground." |

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) |
"Rarely has an alien invasion (or the possible eradication of humanity) seemed less gripping." |

Tomato |
Thirst (2009) |
"Although the focus of its narrative movement is not always clear, in its best moments, Thirst offers something of the poetic force of cinema’s timeless masterpieces." |
Darcy Paquet |
Tomato |
The Thorn in the Heart (2009) |
"Thorn In The Heart reads like an honest, considered portrait of a remarkable woman, but it’s not much more than an amuse-bouche for Gondry fans." |
Lee Marshall |
Tomato |
A Thousand Years of Good Prayers (2007) |
"The minor key and quietly observational work is not earth-shattering or particularly urgent, though it enables a talented filmmaker to work through personal ideas about assimilation and family conflict in an open, smart and gracious way." |
Patrick Z. McGavin |
Tomato |
Three Monkeys (2009) |
"It's best described as introspective melodrama, yet both visually and tonally, it's still quintessential Ceylan." |
Jonathan Romney |
Splat |
The Time Traveler's Wife (2009) |
"In the final analysis the film fails to make much sense at all." |

Tokyo Sonata (2009) |
"Taking a break from his regular diet of fantasy and horror, Japan’s Kiyoshi Kurosawa delivers here a fierce indictment of modern-day Japan." |
Dan Fainaru |
Splat |
Tokyo! (2009) |
"Unlike Asian horror omnibus Three Extremes, the directors of Tokyo ! have little in common and the Tokyo cityscape isn't enough to make them bond." |

Towelhead (2008) |
"It is kept on track, however, by a courageous central performance from Bishil." |
Mike Goodridge |
Splat |
Traitor (2008) |
"A thriller about the moral complexities of the war on terror, Traitor is really a movie at war with itself." |

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) |
"Performance-wise, the machines do tend to upstage the humans." |
Fionnuala Halligan |
Splat |
Transporter 3 (2008) |
"A perfunctory action film which drives around in noisy circles but goes nowhere." |
Tim Grierson |
Splat |
Transsiberian (2008) |
"It's gripping, suspenseful and well-acted by a starry cast but is finally let down by a plot which goes spectacularly off the rails in the final act." |
Mike Goodridge |
Splat |
Tropic Thunder (2008) |
"Produces some real laughs but was probably more fun to make than it ultimately is to watch." |
John Hazelton |
Splat |
Trucker (2009) |
"Even with some fine acting, this film can be a long tiring ride." |
David D'Arcy |
Splat |
Trumbo (2008) |
"Trumbo is hurt by an unwillingness to actually explore Trumbo's own politics and delve into his actual beliefs about communism, Stalin or Marxist ideology." |

Twilight (2008) |
"An intoxicating blend of breathy romance and mild horror which will be must-see viewing for teenage girls." |
Mike Goodridge |
Splat |
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) |
"The actors appear at sea on more than one occasion, and some of Melissa Rosenberg’s risible dialogue doesn’t help them." |
Mike Goodridge |
Tomato |
Tzar (2009) |
"Tsar is likely to remain merely an intriguing but far from satisfying footnote to the Eisenstein classic Ivan The Terrible." |
