Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007) |
"In its utter sincerity, it has an old-fashioned appeal that may not be for everybody but could definitely play in Peoria." |
Frank Lovece |
Tomato |
Taboo (2000) |
"Eventually, the fate-driven plot takes hold of you and becomes compelling." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Tadpole (2002) |
"Consistently entertaining, with witty dialogue and a kind of Gallic concision, shaved of superfluous moments." |
Erica Abeel |
Splat |
Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004) |
"Shot on a lavish scale, the film unfortunately suffers from maudlin plotting and severe overacting." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
The Take (2004) |
"A paean to the resiliency of the human spirit." |
Maria Garcia |
Tomato |
Take Care of My Cat (2001) |
"In this vivid, emotionally complex ensemble piece, Korean writer-director Jeong Jae-eun portrays this extraordinary turning point in every woman's life." |
Maria Garcia |
Tomato |
Take My Eyes (2006) |
"Every element of the production is well-crafted. Take My Eyes is highly recommended." |
Eric Monder |
Tomato |
Take Out (2008) |
"City guerrilla filmmaking at its finest." |
Eric Monder |
Splat |
Take the Lead (2006) |
"For the most part, Liz Friedlander's direction and frenetic pacing mitigate any real performance opportunities." |
David Noh |
Splat |
Taken (2009) |
"This French-directed English-language film squanders a fun genre--the kidnapping thriller--in favor of an exceedingly grim and insipid exercise in globetrotting sadism." |
Jon Frosch |
Splat |
Taking Lives (2004) |
"Caruso sets up an initially intriguing premise, however gruesome, that unfortunately devolves into a welter of aimlessness, too many red herrings and B-movie hammy performances." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Taking Sides (2003) |
"A uniquely provocative film." |
Shirley Sealy |
Splat |
The Tale of Despereaux (2008) |
"Computer-animated, painterly adaptation of the Newberry Award-winning children's novel is a blunt sword of moral lessons with a character more insufferable than inspiring." |
Frank Lovece |
Tomato |
A Tale of Two Pizzas (2003) |
"A sweet little film with heart." |
Harry Haun |
Tomato |
A Tale Of Two Sisters (2003) |
"Despite its third-act problems, A Tale of Two Sisters easily passes the scare test." |
Ethan Alter |
Splat |
The Talent Given Us (2004) |
"The ranting, whining, kvetching, self-involved family begins to outstay its welcome [...] so that time spent with them can feel like entrapment at a raucous bar mitzvah reception." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Tomato |
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) |
"A lushly seductive portrait of sociopathic ambition." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Tomato |
Talk to Her (2002) |
"Open-ended and composed of layer upon layer, Talk to Her is a cinephile's feast, an invitation to countless interpretations." |
Erica Abeel |
Tomato |
Talk to Me (2007) |
"Another high-quality surprise from the vault of African-American pop culture. Audiences will tune in." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Tomato |
A Talking Picture (2003) |
"A devastatingly simple portrait of the ways in which we lull ourselves into believing that knowledge, academic or worldly, is our inviolate defense against annihilation." |
Maria Garcia |
Splat |
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |
"It's not that ethnic and cultural stereotyping can't be funny -- Lord knows the laugh industry would be nothing without them -- it's just that movies like this one keep punching the same buttons over and over again." |
Lewis Beale |
Tomato |
Tango (1998) |
"Allows the tango, in its myriad expressive forms, to take center stage, telling the story and igniting the senses with its sinuous, elegant moves." |
Wendy Weinstein |
Tomato |
The Tango Lesson (1997) |
"Even though it's self-conscious of its own sentimentality, it's surprisingly infectious." |
Peter Henne |
Tomato |
The Tao of Steve (2000) |
"Will woo you into shedding your romantic-comedy fatigue." |
Emily Bobrow |
Splat |
Tape (2001) |
"With hardly any artistry in sight, the film's appeal cannot hold up, not even with a solid performance from Uma Thurman and a fine one from Ethan Hawke." |
Peter Henne |
Tomato |
Tarnation (2004) |
"Not only very good indeed, but something bracingly new: a home-movie phantasmagoria that's simultaneously an uncompromising autobiographical confession, saga of tragic family dysfunction, touching love story, and hypnotic avant-garde collage." |
Kevin Lally |
Tomato |
Tarzan (1999) |
"An especially lively voice cast and often breathtaking blend of traditional and computer animation should make this one of the bigger hits in the Disney cartoon canon." |
Kevin Lally |
Tomato 4/5 |
Tarzan, the Ape Man (1932) |
"First and rawest of the Weismuller Tarzans" |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
Tashan (2008) |
"Crowded with dizzying visuals, dry humor, cartoonishy violent set-pieces that play like Indian spaghetti Westerns, and gorgeously shot musical numbers." |
Frank Lovece |
Tomato |
Taste of Cherry (1997) |
"The style is understated, the mise-en-scène is spare, but Kiarostami's complex morality tale catches you in its mesmerizing spell." |
Kevin Lally |
Tomato |
The Taste of Others (2001) |
"The intimacy, honesty and good intentions at work here demand respect." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Splat |
The Tavern (1999) |
"There's not an iota of anything fresh or particularly good about The Tavern." |
David Noh |
Splat |
Taxi (2004) |
"... the goings-on are neither very exciting nor terribly funny." |
Shirley Sealy |
Tomato |
Taxi to the Dark Side (2008) |
"A devastating account of detainees killed, soldiers corrupted and principles abandoned." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
Tea With Mussolini (1999) |
"A soothingly old-fashioned, deeply sentimental memory piece." |
David Noh |
Splat |
Teacher's Pet (2004) |
"At home, the movie will probably play like the pleasantly dull video babysitter it is. As a big-screen feature, however, it just feels superfluous." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato |
Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999) |
"An entertaining film full of Williamson's familiar movie-reference-laced dialogue." |
Thom Bennett |
Tomato |
Team America: World Police (2004) |
"By turns hilarious, idiotic, thoughtful, scatological, and occasionally all of these at the same time." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato |
Tears of the Black Tiger (2000) |
"By turns silly and overwrought, the film is too good-natured to dislike, but too flimsy to take seriously." |
Daniel Eagan |
Splat |
Tears of the Sun (2003) |
"The film turns the very real plight of ethnic refugees into fodder for special effects and stunt work." |
Daniel Eagan |
Splat |
Teddy Bears' Picnic (2002) |
"There are just too many characters saying too many clever things and getting into too many pointless situations. Where's the movie here?" |
Shirley Sealy |
Tomato B |
Teeth (2008) |
"A tongue-in-cheek amusing movie--but being literally tongue-in-cheek can sometimes be dangerous." |
Harvey S. Karten |
Splat |
Tell Me Something (2001) |
"What it definitely lacks is any real human element which would make us care about the victims, Cho or Su-yeon." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Tell No One (2008) |
"A delicious outpouring of upper-crust malevolence, hovering cynicism and ever-deepening ambivalence that zigzags dizzyingly among its many characters, locations and plot turns." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Tomato |
Tell Them Who You Are (2005) |
"A compelling portrait of a fascinating man, full of deep love for cinema and political causes, yet unable to express this feeling to his own flesh-and-blood." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Telling Lies In America (1997) |
"It's only rock 'n' roll, but you'll like it." |
Rod Granger |
Splat |
Ten (2003) |
"Lacks the spiritual foundation, the individual search for beauty in the face of the world's indifference, that is the hallmark of Kiarostami's oeuvre." |
Maria Garcia |
Splat |
The Ten (2007) |
"A slightly patchy tapestry that tickles about as much as it annoys, full of unexpected laughs but also some torturous dead spots." |
Katey Rich |
Tomato |
Ten Benny (1995) |
"Bross and co-writer Tom Cudworth can be commended for managing to give everyone a hard-knock yet morally satisfying ending." |
Peter Henne |
Tomato |
Ten Canoes (2007) |
"A film that testifies to the multicultural mood of our own moment in time." |
