Splat 1/5 |
Taken (2009) |
"A nasty, grubby, pointless little thriller that hardly warrants a single star." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Taking Liberties (2007) |
"The film plays like an absurdist drama set in a state that more closely resembles Zimbabwe than the home of freedom. Watch it and get angry" |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) |
"Tony Scott has made a film that, for sheer fun and breathless tension, leaves the summer's other actioners parked in the sidings." |
David Edwards |

The Tale of Despereaux (2008) |
"It is all nicely animated, and has a great voice cast, but is not really special or magical enough to really crack the ultra-competitive kiddie animation market." |
Mark Adams |
Tomato 4/5 |
Talk to Me (2007) |
"Poignant and often very funny, Cheadle deserves a clutch of prizes come awards season." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |
"Some of the jokes here are funny. Most are not, while the characters are simply too silly to make us give two hoots about them. Worse, the movie collapses under the weight of a ton of syrup in the second half." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Tau Ming Chong (2009) |
"Intense, visceral and highly violent, they look just great, placing you right there in the thick of the action, making The Warlords our film of the week." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Taxidermia (2009) |
"Overall, this is a desultory, schizophrenic film that doesn’t seem to know what it is." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Telstar: The Joe Meek Story (2009) |
"Telstar is a rambling, chaotic mess that's got missed opportunity written all over it." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
Terminator Salvation (2009) |
"A pulse-pounding visual spectacle, given its bloodline this is the very least we expect. But when things aren't blowing up, T4 sags - and sags badly." |

Thank You For Smoking (2006) |
"The result is the hippest comedy of the year." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
The 9th Company (2005) |
"With what’s going on in Afghanistan today, 9th Company is nothing if not timely." |
David Edwards |
Splat 1/5 |
The All Together (2007) |
"Give your money to charity. Throw it out of the window. Set it on fire. Just don't waste it by paying to see this." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
The City of Violence (2006) |
"You might have seen it all before but you probably haven’t seen it done with this much style." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
The Clone Wars (2008) |
"Instead of getting something special, you’re left with the impression the last few dollars are being wrung from a franchise that should’ve been put to bed 25 years ago. Still, kids should enjoy it." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Cottage (2008) |
"From the miasma of mediocrity known as modern British horror emerges a low-budget fright film that deserves to be remembered alongside homegrown classics such as Shaun Of The Dead." |
|
Tomato |
The Counterfeiters (2008) |
"An awesomely powerful movie exploring not just the day-to-day hell of life in a death camp, but also the moral quandary of helping the Third Reich win the war." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) |
"Add to that some unimpressive CGI and a bizarrely abrupt ending and you have the day your buttocks went to sleep, your brain melted and your will to live evaporated." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
The End (2009) |
"The End could be criticised for being one-sided (none of the victims get a look-in). But that's missing the point, for at heart it's really a portrait of a long-gone era. In all, it's the best British crime film in years." |
David Edwards |
Tomato |
The Legacy (2006) |
"Legacy starts brilliantly and sustains its intensity all the way through but, in the last few minutes, forgets to give us a decent climax." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The War on Democracy (2007) |
"GEORGE BUSH loves to lecture us about how his war on terror is all about preserving freedom and spreading democracy. What he doesn’t tell us is how for the past 50 years, the US has covertly tried to crush both in a bid to control South America" |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
Them (2007) |
"Plenty of jolts and some pleasingly spooky scenes, with the tension ratcheted up to fever pitch, but then it all falls to pieces with a badly fumbled ending." |
David Edwards |
Splat 2/5 |
Then She Found Me (2008) |
"Given its cast and source material – Elinor Lipman’s highly-regarded novel – it all makes for a highly disappointing experience." |

Thirst (2009) |
"A fresh spin on the vampire myth resulting in a wildly inventive and blackly comic horror. Pity it's got more padding than the average fat suit." |

This Christmas (2007) |
"Like discovering a family pet mutilated under the mistletoe, this second Christmas offering does its damnedest to suck all joy out of the festive season." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006) |
"Not Yet Rated is a doc that anyone with even a passing interest in movie censorship, sorry, classification, should seek out." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
This Is England (2007) |
"In short, this is, mostly, bloody brilliant." |

The Time Traveler's Wife (2009) |
"Not just increasingly preposterous, it's also awfully dull since our two leads fail to generate even a hint of that spark so necessary for romantic dramas." |
David Edwards |
Tomato |
Tokyo Sonata (2009) |
"Tokyo Sonata is a subtle and multi-layered affair that aims its guns at globalisation, the Iraq war and social alienation. But, boy, does it take a long time to make its not-so-astonishing point." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Tormented (2009) |
"Enjoyably gruesome, and with some timely comments about the recent craze for cyber-bullying, here's a horror perfectly pitched at its teenage target audience." |

Traitor (2008) |
"Tense, intelligent and quite moving, it's a meaty thriller filled with characters painted in refreshingly complex shades of grey." |
David Edwards |
Splat 2/5 |
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) |
"Big, loud and definitely not clever, it's a giant, lumbering idiot of a movie that, were it not for all the explosions, would send the most devoted action fans to sleep." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
Transporter 3 (2008) |
"It is a full-throttle action film which works best if you leave your brain at the door... and there's nothing wrong with that!" |
Mark Adams |
Splat 1/5 |
Triangle (2009) |
"The real mystery, mind you, is how a film this dreadful ever got made." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story (2006) |
"Give this anarchic British comedy a shot and you'll be laughing from start to finish." |
David Edwards |
Splat 2/5 |
Tropic Thunder (2008) |
"But flashes of inspiration aside, Tropic Thunder just isn’t that funny and looks like something that was more fun to make than to actually sit down and watch." |

Twilight (2008) |
"It is not all top-notch stuff though. Some of the special effects are plain ropey but luckily the teen romance carries the movie. Naturally room is left at the end for the impending sequel. Something we're sure to get our teeth into..." |
Mark Adams |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) |
"Romeo And Juliet it ain't, but as a solid love story, New Moon gets the blood pumping." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Two Lovers (2009) |
"A moving, thoughtful and complex look at the nature of lovesickness, our star gives the performance of his life." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 5/5 |
Tyson (2009) |
"Prepare to be floored yourself as the retired boxer delivers an emotionally devastating and nakedly honest confession about his life, times and crimes." |
