Tomato 7.5/10
Taken (2009)
"Director Pierre Morel does a great job of blending just enough exhilarating action sequences, thrills and brief comic relief along with a brisk pace which make for a thrilling, taut and purely escapist ride..."

Splat 5.5/10
Taking Woodstock (2009)
"Initially compelling with a fine ensemble cast and impressive cinematography, but suffers from an often bland screenplay that's deficient in character development, imagination and emotional resonance."
Splat 4.5/10
The Tale of Despereaux (2008)
"Bland, over-stuffed, chaotic and ultimately underwhelming for both kids and adults."
Tomato 9.45/10
Tapped (2009)
"Illuminating, well-researched and vital. Documentaries like Tapped come along every once in a while to raise awareness, to inform the public and to clear the fog of propaganda."
Splat 4.25/10
Tennessee (2009)
"Has beautiful scenery and brief suspense, but that's not nearly enough to keep you immersed or captivated in the often contrived story or any of its poorly developed characters."
Splat 5.25/10
Terminator Salvation (2009)
"Suffers from style over substance. Its impressive CGI effects and editing make it look and sound great while providing some fleeting, visceral thrills and adrenaline-pumping excitement, but in terms of imagination and surprises, it falls flat."
Tomato 7.0/10
Tetro (2009)
"Visually arresting and intelligently crafted for the most part, but its slightly uneven tone diminishes its overall power to captivate and engross you thoroughly."
Tomato 7/10
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
"A highly entertaining and gripping sci-fi thriller with brains."
Splat 5.75/10
Theater of War (2008)
"Mildly engaging with brief moments of insight, but it's mostly a missed opportunity to dig deeper into the play's sociopolitical relevance to the world of today"
Tomato 6.0/10
Thirst (2009)
"Initially invigorating, chilling and mildly suspenseful while balanced with just the right amount of dark comedy, but it occasionally veers into a tedium of awkwardness and over-the-top bizarreness that lacks surprises."
Splat 5.0/10
Three Monkeys (2009)
"Stylish cinematography along with decent performances don't compensate for an often tedious plot that lacks any real tension, imagination or palpable poignancy."
Throw Down Your Heart (2009)
"It's filled with lively, soulful musical performances that keeps you mostly compelled, but it eventually becomes somewhat dull and lacks enough profound insights, which ultimately leaves you feeling underwhelmed."
The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)
"Picturesque cinematography along with charming performances by Eric Bana and the genuinely beautiful Rachel McAdams [don't] compensate for an uneven, bland and contrived screenplay that falls flat when it comes to drama, romance and sci-fi."
Tomato 8/10
Timecrimes (2008)
"An invigoratingly imaginative and thrilling ride full of clever surprises and twists."
Tomato 8.75/10
Tokyo Sonata (2009)
"An often captivating and engrossing drama with a sensitive, intelligent and tender screenplay."
Tokyo! (2009)
"A mildly compelling trio of films deficient in imagination, intrigue and subtlety, with exception of the brilliantly bizarre opening film, Interior Design."
A Touch of Spice (2006)
"A Touch of Spice has a few imaginative and amusing scenes as well as all the right ingredients of a romantic dramedy, but those ingredients merely simmer without coming to a boil. It often feels contrived and convoluted while its variety of ingredi"
Tomato 8.5/10
A Town Called Panic (2009)
"A refreshingly zany, clever, funny and truly bizarre comedy of errors that will delight audiences, young and old."
Splat 4.0/10
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
"Boasts spectacular visuals, sound effects and editing, but it suffers from tedious, mind-numbing action sequences, diminishing thrills and a plot filled with too much silliness, leaps of logic and blandness that leaves you feeling underwhelmed."

Transylmania (2009)
"Interview with writers/directors David and Scott Hillenbrand"
Tomato 7.25/10
Treeless Mountain (2009)
"Occasionally drags, but it nonetheless manages to be a quietly engrossing, well-nuanced and sensitive drama filled with exquisite cinematography."
Splat 2.75/10
The Trouble with Romance (2009)
"Often drags with poorly developed characters, awkward pacing and stilted dialogue that has no new or refreshing insights about love, romance or modern relationships."
Tulpan (2008)
"Despite its rich, picturesque scenery and a few briefly amusing and tender moments, Tulpan feels uneven, meandering, unimaginative and somewhat bland both as a drama and as a comedy."
Splat 5.85/10
Turning Green (2009)
"Initially engaging, witty and charming, but ultimately ends up contrived and bland with an unfocused, half-baked plot."
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
"Despite superb cinematography and special effects, [it] overstays its welcome and lacks palpable excitement, thrills and suspense. Its mediocre performances and dumbed-down screenplay add insult to injury."
Two Lovers (2009)
"A somewhat emotionally hollow, often meandering romantic drama buoyed by strong performances."
Tyson (2009)
"Tyson simply doesn't provoke you enough intellectually. It feels mildly compelling, occasionally moving and revealing, but it ultimately suffers from too much style over substance."
