F

Tadpole (2002)

"The worst movie of 2002: 'Any film with such a formulaic foundation...faces the burden of succeeding in spite of it, yet Tadpole just dumbly offers it back up to us.'"

Nick Davis

Tomato
B

Tarzan (1999)

"Tarzan is as full and seasoned a crop as one could expect from a field that has already been cultivated too many times."

Nick Davis

Tomato
A

Taste of Cherry (1997)

"The #1 U.S. release of 1998: 'A sublime and patient film...[Kiarostami] handles his profound material flawlessly.'"

Nick Davis

Splat
D

Tea With Mussolini (1999)

"Art and suffocating tastefulness are taken as such inherent goods in [this film] that they utterly overwhelm the real people whom the film pretends to showcase."

Nick Davis

Tomato
4/5

The Tempest (1979)

"A devious and fascinating treatment of the play, especially good for Shakespeare scholars and Jarman fans."

Nick Davis

Splat
C-

Tender Mercies (1983)

"Like a quiet child whose primary virtue is that he doesn't make any waves, Tender Mercies is so muted and obedient that it's hard in good conscience to praise it."

Nick Davis

Splat
F

The Terminal (2004)

"What will this studio think of next? A remake of The Red Balloon set in Tikrit? How about Sunday in the Park with George relocated to Guantánamo?"

Nick Davis

Splat
D

There's Something About Mary (1998)

"[The filmmakers], out of some hyperactive reflex, grab at any joke they can get, like toddlers trying desperately to spear fish in a creek--a shallow creek."

Nick Davis

Tomato
3/5

These Three (1936)

"Overheated but well-acted adaptation of Lillian Hellman's play The Children's Hour."

Nick Davis

Tomato
5/5

The Thin Man (1934)

"Elegant, frisky, funny, sly... what else are you looking for, exactly?"

Nick Davis

Tomato
A

The Thin Red Line (1998)

Nick Davis

Tomato
A

The Third Man (1949)

"If The Third Man is a tragedy, it isn't just the tragedy of a hobbled city, scribbled with ruins and parsed into zones of occupation that can't communicate and don't cooperate."

Nick Davis

Splat
2/5

The Third Miracle (1999)

"An odd bit of spiritual dithering, not really bad but not really good."

Nick Davis

Tomato
B-

Thirteen (2003)

"Is Thirteen a movie about hysteric teen-age girls, or a movie about a teen-age culture of hysteria, or is it a movie in hysterics about teen-age culture?"

Nick Davis

Splat
C

Thirteen Days (2000)

"Why hire a star, or 'allow' a star to hire himself, and then give him nothing to do? Why hire a star who doesn't seem able to do much to begin with?"

Nick Davis

Splat
C-

A Thousand Acres (1997)

"Pfeiffer excepted, the filmmakers reap little from the rich soil they have been handed."

Nick Davis

Tomato
4/5

Time Regained (1999)

"Moody, opulent, and just decadent enough, Ruiz's film is elegant all over and perverse around the edges, just as it should be."

Nick Davis

Tomato
4/5

A Time to Live and a Time to Die (1985)

"Moving and memorable, and more accessible than some of the director's other work"

Nick Davis

Tomato
A

Titanic (1997)

"Yes, Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater are flimsyish characters, but DiCaprio and Winslet still have the formidable challenge as actors to gauge the levels of their performances against the galvanizing visual and technotronic aspects of the film."

Nick Davis

Tomato
4/5

To Sleep With Anger (1990)

"A poetic and consistently surprising comedy-drama that is clearly a pet project for all its participants."

Nick Davis

Splat
C

Top Gun (1986)

"Jet piloting is the ultimate gesture not of national defense but of personal style, as if the planes were the ultimate, unfeminizing fashion accessory."

Nick Davis

Tomato
4/5

Top Hat (1935)

"A beguiling Rogers-Astaire pairing, if not resolutely their best."

Nick Davis

Splat
C+

Touching the Void (2004)

"A film whose signal virtues are its focus and inherent tension still manages to trip itself up in a clutter of gratuitous details and easily avoidable blunders."

Nick Davis

Tomato
B

Trainspotting (1995)

"Danny Boyle's movie achieves -- at least for a while -- the psychedelic high for which it clearly aims, but like the heroin fixes he vividly portrays, his film doesn't have much long-term impact."

Nick Davis

Tomato
A

The Travelling Players (1974)

"I was aglow after The Travelling Players, which honestly strikes me, in all its alienation and opacity, as a thrilling and important and good motion picture."

Nick Davis

Splat
D

Tropic Thunder (2008)

"Tropic Thunder, full of punchlines about Milli Vanilli and Being There, stitches the tired cultural references of one generation to the utterly debased expectations of their heirs."

Nick Davis

Splat
D+

Troy (2004)

"Troy panders to the viewer and flatters the Academy as baldly as Cold Mountain did last year, and to exactly the same unwitting effect."

Nick Davis

Tomato
B+

The Truman Show (1998)

"It is quite rewarding to see Weir's gifts as a craftsman attached to a script that mostly fulfills its own ideological ambitions."

Nick Davis

Splat
C

The Truth About Charlie (2002)

Tomato
A

Tumbleweeds (1999)

Nick Davis

Tomato
B-

Turn the River (2008)

"Turn the River, sometimes like Kailey herself and sometimes not, has a laudable habit of pulling back at the right moments and proving its mettle in unexpected ways."

Nick Davis

Tomato
B-

Twentynine Palms (2004)

"What Dumont expresses is too guttural and inchoate to even be called despair. It's not there yet, or else it's way past that."

Nick Davis

Tomato
B+

Two Drifters (2006)

"An arresting and lucid study of how gay men and straight women often compete for the same objects of lust, the same velvety nostalgias for a certain vision of love."

Nick Davis

Splat
C

Two Family House (2000)

"Unfortunately, the look, pace, and structure of the film stop feeling elegantly restrained and pass into something like boilerplate mediocrity."

Nick Davis

Tomato
B+

Two Friends (1986)

Nick Davis

Splat
C

Two Lovers (2009)

"An early suicide attempt, complete with potent sound design, confers a life-and-death gravity on the picture that its story about a faltering manchild with a frustrated crush doesn't fully earn."

Nick Davis
