Take the Lead (2006)

Xan Brooks

Splat

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)

"Scott, a sensationalist who cut his teeth in advertising and still looks upon every minute of a feature film as a TV commercial, hits us from the opening shot with speeded-up film, rapid cutting, flash pans, and rap music."

Philip French

Tomato

Tales from the Golden Age (2009)

"This is a low-key, deadpan movie and the jokes creep up on you."

Philip French

Splat

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)

"An inane parody of a triumphalist celebration of all-American sporting heroism."

Philip French

Tomato

Taxi Driver (1976)

"Martin Scorsese's masterly Taxi Driver both encapsulates and transcends its times."

Philip French

Tomato

Taxidermia (2009)

"It's an allegory of sorts, and very different from the fastidious golden age of Hungarian cinema in the Seventies and Eighties."

Philip French

Tenth District Court (2004)

Mark Kermode

Tomato

Terminator Salvation (2009)

"As in the previous two movies, there is, along with the extreme violence and destruction, a lot of wit in the proceedings."

Philip French

Splat

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

"Inevitably, given a bigger budget, it lacks the cheap, raw quality of the earlier film that, along with George Romero's outfit in Pennsylvania, showed you could make profitable exploitation shockers on an independent basis far from Hollywood."

Philip French

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)

Philip French

Tomato

Thank You For Smoking (2006)

"There's enough bite in the dialogue and performances to provoke a hacking cough of approval, and the laugh-out-loud moments are many, not least in scenes featuring Rob Lowe's unctuous Hollywood agent."

Mark Kermode

Splat

The End (2009)

"A movie that is non-judgmental to the point of celebration."

Philip French

Tomato

Them (2007)

"Effective in an unambitious way, it gives a new meaning to 'Boys in the Hood'."

Philip French

Tomato

The Thing (1982)

"An accomplished horror movie."

Philip French

Splat

Thirst (2009)

"A truly bizarre movie, a tragicomedy that Graham Greene might have written in collaboration with Bram Stoker. But it's repetitive and overstays its initial welcome."

Philip French

Splat

This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006)

"This is an amusing film, less smart and provocative than its makers take it to be, and thin on sustained, rational argument and international perspective."

Peter Bradshaw

Tomato

Three Monkeys (2009)

"This is a film of formidable power that sticks in the mind."

Philip French

Tickets (2005)

Philip French

Splat

Tideland (2006)

"Deeply disappointing."

Philip French

-

Time to Leave (2006)

Click here to see the review.

Philip French

Splat

The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)

"It's even more inane and sitting up begging to be loved than Benjamin Button."

Philip French

Tomato

Timecrimes (2008)

"The first feature by a promising young director who doesn't know how to recapture the hare he has let loose."

Philip French

Splat

TMNT (2007)

"Children may well like it, but they deserve better."

Philip French

Tomato

Tormented (2009)

"It's well enough made, fairly inventive and the bullies practise safe sex. But the film tips its hand a little too early."

Philip French

Splat

Training Day (2001)

"The movie moves rapidly, is extremely violent and not entirely plausible."

Philip French

Tomato

Traitor (2008)

"A certain interest resides in the film's even-handedness."

Philip French

Transamerica (2005)

Philip French

Splat

Transformers (2007)

"The film goes on and on, it is unbearably loud, and much of the dialogue is impossible to hear."

Philip French

Splat

The Transporter (2002)

"Chases and choreographed fights set to rock music take up most of the running time and the movie is like To Catch a Thief remade by a hack follower of John Woo."

Philip French

Tomato

The Travelling Players (1974)

"A didactic, audacious, tendentious, highly original movie that justifies its great length."

Philip French

Tomato

Triangle (2009)

"It's creepy, atmospheric stuff and at every twist of this Möbius strip we wonder how Smith will keep things going. But he manages it with considerable skill and we leave his picture suitably shaken."

Philip French

Tomato

Tricks (2007)

"This is a sad, muted, delicately observed film with strong naturalistic performances."

Philip French

Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story (2006)

Click here to see the review.

Philip French

Splat

True North (2006)

"The film has its moments, but it's a crude, none-too-convincing piece of work that fudges some serious issues."

Philip French

Tomato

Tsotsi (2006)

"This deceptively simple movie brings to mind Italian neo-realist classics of the 1940s, and Presley Chweneyagae, an amateur actor, is wholly convincing as the disoriented Tsotsi."

Peter Bradshaw

Tomato

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

"The film takes itself rather earnestly, the heroine is more than half in love with easeful death, and the lighting by Spanish ace cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe is impressive."

Philip French

Tomato

Two or Three Things I Know About Her (1967)

"It's a pivotal film made in the summer of 1966, more essay than narrative, about alienation in consumer society and anticipating the mood and ideas that brought about les événements of 1968."

Philip French

Typhoon (2006)

Philip French

Tomato

Tyson (2009)

"A documentary that is as near to an honest apologia as we're ever likely to get. It's a fascinating story, though not a pretty one."

Philip French
