Rating Title Year Quote Author

Tomato

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."

Rex Roberts
