Splat
2/5

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)

"In yet another blander-than-bland remake of a classic film, flash-over-substance specialist Tony Scott takes Joseph Sargent's taut, 1974 action-thriller and processes it through the multiplex mulching machine."

Jim Schembri

Tomato
3.5/5

Taking Woodstock (2009)

"For the most part, it's a genial pleasure, with something disarmingly daggy -- intentional or not -- about its vision of history and individual experience."

Philippa Hawker

Splat
1.5/5

The Tale of Despereaux (2008)

"Scratch a CGI fairytale and you'll find an allegory about class, particularly if rodents are involved."

Jake Wilson

Tomato
3/5

Tenderness (2008)

"Polson maintains an unsettling tension throughout the narrative, building his slow-burn thriller to a climax that deliberately runs counter to the in-your-face genre principles of which he proved such a master with his first two thriller outings."

Jim Schembri

Splat
2/5

Terminator Salvation (2009)

"It's easy to see why Bale was attracted to this role, but this often fascinating actor gives one of his least interesting performances."

Jake Wilson

Tomato
4.5/5

The Counterfeiters (2008)

"This Oscar-winning film ranks as the most unnerving, disturbing, true-life account yet of endurance under Nazi oppression."

Jim Schembri

Tomato
3/5

The Strength of Water (2009)

"There are more ambitious films around at the moment than The Strength of Water, but it would be a shame if this small gem were forgotten in the Christmas rush."

Jake Wilson

Tomato
3/5

Then She Found Me (2008)

"The overt stylistic flourishes are so few that they have a special impact, particularly the moment when the camera slowly tracks towards April after she receives a piece of devastating news."

Jake Wilson

Splat
1/5

The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)

"Without any notion of what type of film it wants to be, The Time Traveller's Wife is neither funny nor charming, moving nor romantic."

Jim Schembri

Tomato
4/5

Towelhead (2008)

"[Ball] succeeds admirably and with dramatic force, blending themes of racism, liberalism, emotional betrayal, abuse, hate speech and pedophilia into a confronting adult drama peppered with shocks and black humour."

Jim Schembri

Tomato
3/5

Trailer Park Boys - The Movie (2008)

"Very funny."

Jim Schembri

Tomato

Traitor (2008)

"The Traitor manages to get right is what so many other post-9/11 films got wrong: it does not confuse criticism of American policy with an attack on American ideals."

Jim Schembri

Splat
1/5

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a Big Dumb Object: an action blockbuster so loud, ugly and exhausting that criticism seems beside the point."

Jake Wilson

Tomato
3.5/5

Tropic Thunder (2008)

"Stiller never stops bombarding the audience with outrageous ideas, like a monkey throwing dung at a wall."

Jake Wilson

Splat
2/5

Twilight (2008)

"In a film of this kind a great deal depends on the chemistry between the lead actors, and here Twilight falls especially short."

Jake Wilson

Tomato
3/5

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

"Weitz brings a few more flickers of humour to the narrative, but the essential, appealing earnestness of the book remains, whole-heartedly embraced."

Philippa Hawker

Tomato
4/5

Two Fists, One Heart (2008)

"Brandishes the type of confidence, commercial appeal and clarity of vision all too seldom seen in Australian cinema. We should be producing movies like this 10 times a year, not once in a blue moon."

Jim Schembri

Tomato
4/5

Two Lovers (2009)

"Despair and confusion are explored in Two Lovers with a rigorous, unsentimental directness that is also full of feeling."

Philippa Hawker

Tomato
3/5

Tyson (2009)

"There is something compelling about the way he presents his version of the stories and scandals that surround him."

Philippa Hawker
