Taxi Driver (1976)
"Martin Scorsese's searing portrait of loneliness and violence on the mean streets of New York remains one of the quintessential films of 1970s American cinema..."
Sean Axmaker
That Thing You Do! (1996)
"... a bouncy, energetic, affectionate bit of 1960s pop-music nostalgia..."
The Counterfeiters (2008)
"The framing sequence is a bit glib but the camp scenes are vividly realized..."
The Furies (1950)

There Will Be Blood (2007)
"Daily Access: Bad is the New Good"
Larry Carroll
"... reworks the American entrepreneurial success story as an elemental frontier myth, roughly hewn out of the landscape that is remade in its wake."
The Thief of Bagdad (1940)
"... an amazing world for the fantastical wonders of flying carpets, mechanical horses and a 50-foot genie with a bellowing laugh."
Thieves Like Us (1974)
"(Robert) Altman creates a folk tale populated by characters more oblivious than naive, shot in the bright light of day... with a clear-eyed gaze..."
Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)
"... at times morose, but the tale of healing is directed with compassion and a powerful, sometimes discomforting intimacy."

This Is England (2007)
"This portrait of identity in Thatcher's Britain vividly recreates the youth culture of Ben Sherman shirts and Doc Martens boots."
A Throw of Dice (1929)
"Franz Osten... is a dynamic director with an eye for spectacular imagery and romantic visions, and a gift for visual storytelling and energetic pacing."
Time (2007)
"... the take on about identity and obsession also suggests a psychodrama riff on Nip/Tuck with a side of jealousy and schizophrenia."
To Catch a Thief (1955)
"It's all about the sparkle of glamour and the romantic smolder of seductive stars..."
Trafic (1971)
"... a pleasantly playful film with marvelous sight gags and brief moments of comic poetry."

"Trailer Bulletin: Transformers 2"

Trapped Ashes (2006)
"... it's not the most original setup, but then it's not the most original anthology horror..."
True Heart Susie (1919)
"... this 1919 silent movie romance of small-town innocence and naivete is D.W. Griffith as his sentimental best."
Turn the River (2008)
"... [Famke] Janssen is convincingly weather-beaten and frayed as the tough cookie who has been bounced around by life..."
The Two of Us (1968)
"For an autobiographical remembrance... it's remarkably unsentimental."
Two-Lane Blacktop (1971)
"Directed by Monte Hellman from a script reworked by author Rudolph Wurlitzer, it's the greatest road movie ever made, a modern Western without frontiers..."
