Take the Lead (2006) |
"This is never less than watchable but it's shockingly cliched throughout and let down by a badly directed, disappointing climax." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Taken (2009) |
"Superbly directed, with a terrific performance from Liam Neeson, this bone-crunching, arse-kicking action thriller is one of the guiltiest pleasures of the year." |

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) |
"A typical Tony Scott all-style-no-substance production, this combines flashy direction and good performances from its two stars, but it's never a patch on the original film." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
Taking Woodstock (2009) |
"A watchable drama with likeable performances but it never quite comes together, thanks to an unfocussed screenplay that stumbles badly in the second half." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
The Tale of Despereaux (2008) |
"The Tale of Despereaux's heart is in the right place, but the script is messy and unfocussed, the animation is dull and uninspired, the characters are boring and the film manages to completely waste the talents of its fantastic cast." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) |
"An undeniable masterpiece." |
Ben De Haan |

Tales from Earthsea (2006) |
"Something of a disappointment, given Studio Ghibli's track record, although Le Guin fans can probably go ahead and add an extra star." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Talk to Me (2007) |
"Worth seeing for the superb performances from its two leads." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |
"Anchorman director Adam McKay has assembled a terrific cast and his hilarious script (co-written with Ferrell) ensures that each of the characters has their own funny moment." |

Tau Ming Chong (2009) |
"Peter Chan's period epic features some spectacular battle sequences and a strong performance from Jet Li but it drags considerably in the middle section and it's hard to really engage with the story." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
Taxi (2004) |
"Dismal comedy that’s only watchable thanks to Queen Latifah’s star power." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Taxi to the Dark Side (2008) |
"Powerful, shocking and important documentary that confirms all your worst fears about the Bush administration and will leave you feeling angry and powerless." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Team America: World Police (2004) |
"The puppets are extremely impressive and the fact that the strings are constantly visible is used to brilliant comedic effect, particularly during one of the film's crudest scenes." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Tears of the Black Tiger (2000) |
"Colourful, violent and extremely bizarre Thai western that’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen before." |

Tell No One (2008) |
"In short, Tell No One is a thoroughly enjoyable thriller with a cracking plot, superb performances and exciting action sequences. How come Hollywood can't make thrillers this good anymore? Highly recommended." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Telstar: The Joe Meek Story (2009) |
"An entertaining, energetic and frequently offbeat biopic with a superb cast and a terrific central performance." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006) |
"Tenacious D's big screen outing is extremely patchy but the laughs just about compensate for all the dull, unamusing bits." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
The Terminal (2004) |
"Something of a disappointment, despite solid work from Hanks and Tucci -- it’s as if Spielberg assembled all the ingredients for a great film and then decided to experiment and threw away the recipe." |

Terminator Salvation (2009) |
"Watchable franchise entry that scrapes a pass on the strength of its terrific central set-piece and a couple of the performances, but it's poorly written, emotionally unengaging and a largely empty experience overall." |

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) |
"Basically, if you like gory, scary slasher-flicks, then this delivers in spades." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) |
"Incredibly violent and extremely gory, this is more of a remake than a prequel and it squanders the opportunity to do something more interesting with the premise." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Thank You For Smoking (2006) |
"Enjoyable satire with a sharp script and strong performances, though it's not quite focussed enough to really stick the knife in." |
Matthew Turner |

The Clone Wars (2008) |
"Kids will enjoy it, but for old school Star Wars fans, this is The Phanton Menace all over again." |

The Counterfeiters (2008) |
"An impressively directed drama with a superb central performance from Markovics and a gripping story to tell." |

The End (2009) |
"This is a well made, entertaining documentary that's easily the best of the recent handful of British gangster docs." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Polar Express (2004) |
"Enchanting, if disconcerting, feel-good fare loaded with predictable, wholesome messages but crammed with enough Christmas wonderment to off-set the saccharine." |
Jane Crowther |

The Serpent (2006) |
"Disappointing French thriller, thanks to a ridiculous plot, overblown direction and some dodgy acting from Clovis Cornillac." |

Then She Found Me (2008) |
"Helen Hunt makes an impressive directorial debut and gives a defiantly vanity-free performance in this engaging drama that also features strong support from Colin Firth and Bette Midler." |

Thirst (2009) |
"An enjoyable, extremely stylish and well acted vampire drama that builds to a terrific finale, though it's also overlong, struggles to find the right tone and drags considerably in the middle section." |
