Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Take (2008) |
"If you usually dig John Leguizamo's work, then you'll definitely want to see this one." |
Scott Weinberg |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Take the Lead (2006) |
"Feels like a product, with decisions made for audience appeal rather than creativity." |
Jette Kernion |
Tomato B |
Taken (2009) |
"Intentionally free of nuance but overbrimming with relentless, efficient, energetic mayhem, it plays out like a season of '24,' crammed into 90 minutes." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato 4/5 |
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |
"A smoothly, bizarrely entertaining comedy that mixes your traditional underdog farce with Ferrell's unique sense of ... strangeness." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 4/5 |
Taxi to the Dark Side (2008) |
"What's most tragic, in terms of this story being presented cinematically, is that Dilawar is very much like the traditional wrong-man film character." |
Christopher Campbell |
Tomato 3/5 |
Taxidermia (2009) |
"I still have next to no freaking idea what I just sat through, but (despite the surreal ugliness of the thing) I can't say I actually regret watching it." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Teeth (2008) |
"... a fun exploration of feminine sexual power seen through the twisted kaleidoscope lens of a horror-comedy." |
Kim Voynar |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Teeth (2008) |
"I'm of the opinion that audacity is something to be admired in today's cinematic world, and Teeth has audacity to spare." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Ten (2007) |
"I discovered a solid handful of worthwhile chuckles in the flick, most of which came from the smoothly reliable Paul Rudd and the still-adorable Winona Ryder." |

Tetro (2009) |
"The director's triumphant return to form." |
Nick Schager |
Splat 1.5/5 |
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) |
"A garden-variety horror movie that provides no innovation on the old "kids stranded in the woods with a scary monster" plot." |
Jette Kernion |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) |
"While I wouldn't call it a terrible entry in the series, The Beginning is just a bit too dry, obvious and familiar to generate much enthusiasm." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Clone Wars (2008) |
"If Star Wars: The Clone Wars were a simple board game stacked up in a toy store aisle, the side of the box would read: "Ages 7 through Check Your Star Wars Ego at the Door."" |
Erik Davis |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Cottage (2008) |
"Broad comedy and splattery horror are a pretty tough combo to pull off, but if anyone can do it ... the British can." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Counterfeiters (2008) |
"The Counterfeiters is not quite a great film. It is, however, close enough to being great that it's appropriately flawed, like a near-perfect forgery." |
Christopher Campbell |

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) |
"(Sure to Be Temporary) Trailer Bulletin: The Day the Earth Stood Still" |
William Goss |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Devil Dared Me To (2007) |
"Very short, very nutty, and quite a bit funnier than most Hollywood comedies I've seen in recent years." |
Scott Weinberg |
Splat 3/5 |
The Good Life (2007) |
"You just can't go from darkly morose to uplifting and hopeful in the last 30 seconds of the film without any kind of arc to take you there." |
Kim Voynar |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Lather Effect (2006) |
"Equal parts witty, warm and almost painfully nostalgic." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Signal (2007) |
"It sure wouldn't surprise me if my fellow horror geeks decided to embrace this one quite enthusiastically." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 4/5 |
Them (2007) |
"It breezes by and slaps you with some ice water and then scurries right out of the room." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato |
Then She Found Me (2008) |
"Sometimes charming, occasionally funny, it never draws attention to itself as the work of a director with training wheels on." |
Ryan Stewart |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
There Will Be Blood (2007) |
"It's more than a "departure" for director Paul Thomas Anderson; it's a monumental display of "evolution" that'll wow the established fans and impress a helluva lot more new ones." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
They Killed Sister Dorothy (2008) |
"... at its heart, this is really a story about the wealthy versus the poor, and about an activist trying to protect a natural resource from those who would destroy it for profit." |
Kim Voynar |
Tomato |
This Is England (2007) |
"Apart from its sharp screenplay, This is England derives its power from a pair of extraordinary performances." |
Martha Fischer |
Tomato |
A Thousand Years of Good Prayers (2007) |
"Meticulously paced and beautifully shot." |
Kim Voynar |
Tomato |
Three Monkeys (2009) |
"It's certainly worth catching." |
Kim Voynar |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Tideland (2006) |
"Gilliam appears to be trying to throw us all off-guard, to make the theatergoing experience unpleasant. But in its own unlovable way, the movie is an unforgettable experience." |
Jette Kernion |
Tomato |
Tierney Gearon: The Mother Project (2006) |
"A beautiful, emotionally complex, and intellectually layered film...If there's another film that investigates a single artist more compellingly, I've yet to see it." |
Karina Longworth |
Splat |
Time (2007) |
"The problem with Time is that every character in the film is so fundamentally repulsive it's impossible to care about any of them." |
Martha Fischer |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
TMNT (2007) |
"Clearly we're not talking Shakespeare here, but taken at face value, the new-fangled TMNT is quite a lot better than what I'd expected." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
To Love Someone (2007) |
"To Love Someone is cleanly, tautly directed, and the acting is absolutely superb." |
Kim Voynar |
Tomato |
Tokyo Sonata (2009) |
"Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Tokyo Sonata, is an unexpected pleasure -- not only because it's a departure from the J-horror films that made his name, but because it's also a startlingly rich, funny and strong drama, without a hint of the supernatural or unearthly." |

Ryan Stewart |
Tomato |
Toy Story/Toy Story 2 (3-Disc Ultimate Toy Box Collector's Edition) (1995) |
"...[it] might leave some longtime fans feeling like they paid twice for the same Toy." |
Todd Gilchrist |
Splat |
Trade (2007) |
"Rarely has a message movie been as noxious ... manages to be not only contrived and culturally offensive, but also exploitative of the illicit practice it theoretically opposes." |
Nick Schager |
Tomato 3/5 |
Trailer Park Boys - The Movie (2008) |
"You don't have to be Canadian or a fan of the TV show to get a kick out of this movie. However, you do have to enjoy drug, alcohol and strip-club humor." |
Jette Kernion |
Splat 0/4 |
Transformers (2007) |
"Transformers is supposedly about robots who turn into cars and back again; what it's really about is big Hollywood turning money into stupid and back again" |
James Rocchi |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Transformers (2007) |
"Flat, loud, flashy spectacle that's been fine-tuned and sanded down to appeal to the widest global audience possible. All in all, pretty generic." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato |
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) |
"...a monolithic action masterpiece that feels destined to be the biggest movie of all time." |
Todd Gilchrist |
Tomato B- |
The Trap (2009) |
"It may have some extra padding, but its bone structure -- the basic story and the way it's laid out -- is impeccable." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato |
Tre (2008) |
"I think Byler is at his best when he directs material he writes on his own, and he's at the top of his game with Tre." |
Kim Voynar |
Tomato |
The Treatment (2007) |
"Its otherwise straightforward narrative does what it can to revive the corpse of grown-up romance, with just enough surrealism to save the film from its more serious impulses." |
Karina Longworth |
Tomato |
Triangle (2007) |
"Any fan who can tell Anthony Wong from Andy Lau will find worth watching for more than just the three-directors approach." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 2.5/5 |
Trigger Man (2007) |
"The flick's got just just as much first-half "filler" as it does second-half intensity, so if you're a patient genre fan, I've no problem recommending the movie." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 4.25/5 |
Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story (2006) |
"If you go into this movie expecting a traditional narrative tale, you may get discouraged. You have to throw away your expectations and sit back and wait to see what happens ... if anything." |
Jette Kernion |
Tomato 4/5 |
Tropic Thunder (2008) |
"Tropic Thunder wants to make big money mocking big-money movie making, and the only thing that detracts from the fun and comedy is how, even while you're watching it, you can't help but notice the order those priorities come in." |
James Rocchi |
