Tadpole (2002) |
"The surprise of this short and inexpensively made indie (originally shot on digital video) is its authority and good cheer." |

Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004) |
"Thanks to its excess, and even at 140 minutes, Tae Guk Gi always entertains, just like Pearl Harbor and the rest of the best of Hollywood's dumb war movies." |

The Tailor of Panama (2001) |
"In a world full of off the rack thrillers, it's fine boutique quality." |

Take My Eyes (2006) |
"If Take My Eyes explored how a woman could still feel for a man who abused her, it might have gripped us with its difficult truths." |
Owen Gleiberman |
Splat D+ |
Take the Lead (2006) |
"Antonio Banderas is a charming and talented man, but in Take the Lead he lays on the old-world panache so thick -- the accent, the flowery courtliness, the romance of romance -- that he comes off like Dracula's metrosexual cousin." |
Owen Gleiberman |
Splat C+ |
Taken (2009) |
"It's like Paul Schrader's 1979 Hardcore with no brain and more muscle." |
Owen Gleiberman |

Taking Lives (2004) |
"A Silence of the Lambs – meets – Talented Mr. Ripley knockoff with all the gore and premonitory 'darkness' and none of the intrigue." |
Owen Gleiberman |
Tomato B+ |
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) |
"An open-hydrant whoooosh of an action thriller about a hijacked NYC subway train with passengers held as hostages -- a caffeinated update of a 1974 city-on-fire cult classic that cracked wise with a cynical, now nostalgia-inducing, graffiti-era veracity." |
Lisa Schwarzbaum |

Taking Woodstock (2009) |
"The movie is undergroovy and overplotted." |

The Tale of Despereaux (2008) |

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |

Tape (2001) |
"Hawke releases his inner actor, and it's a kick to see." |
Owen Gleiberman |
Tomato A- |
Tarnation (2004) |
"As Caouette lays out events in storybook fashion, what pulsates through Tarnation is that life, even at its most hellish, is a thing of perilous and desperate rapture." |

Taxi (2004) |

Taxi to the Dark Side (2008) |
"The usefully horrifying documentary Taxi to the Dark Side follows a map that leads to the notorious prison abuses in Iraq's Abu Ghraib to policies in the Guantánamo Bay detention camp." |
Lisa Schwarzbaum |
Tomato B- |
Teacher's Pet (2004) |
"It's smart and character-rich, and the size of its musical / conceptual ambitions belies its small-screen origins." |

Team America: World Police (2004) |
"As a send-up of terrorism, Team America has more mild sizzle than bang. Its real target is the axis of ego, which knows no borders." |

Tears of the Sun (2003) |
"Antoine Fuqua, coming off Training Day, knows how to stage a skirmish in the foliage so that each leaf glistens with waxy moonlit peril." |

Teeth (2008) |
"Writer-director Mitchell Lichtenstein is onto something really fresh in his feature debut, flipping a graphic warning for men into an empowering fable for women." |

Tell Them Who You Are (2005) |

Ten (2003) |

The Ten (2007) |

Ten Canoes (2007) |
"The movie -- the first entirely in Australian Aboriginal languages -- is a marvel of warm collaboration and shared jokes about husbands and wives, shot both in dreamscape color and pristine black and white." |

Tomato B- |
Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006) |
"The movie feels giddy and eruptive, dopily enthralled with itself, and more or less made up on the spot, especially when it lapses into pure rock opera." |
Owen Gleiberman |
Tomato B- |
Tennessee (2009) |
"Tennessee veers dangerously
close to made-for-TV territory. But you utterly believe the bond between the siblings, and Rothenberg excels in his role of a protective older bro who also happens to be a haunted binge drinker." |
Clark Collis |
Splat C+ |
The Terminal (2004) |
"Spielberg has crafted the film with a proficiency as seamless, and impersonal, as the setting, and you may feel, after a while, that you're longing for your departure time." |

"The whole movie is a bit of a machine." |

Terror's Advocate (2007) |
"The title Terror's Advocate is both a statement of fact and a worrisome understatement in a documentary as slippery as its subject." |

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) |
"The idea of a horror prequel is annoying [and] unlike Hostel or Wolf Creek, TCM:B is rank and depressing." |

Texas Rangers (2001) |
