Tadpole (2002) |
"Tadpole is emblematic of the witless ageism afflicting films: Young is cool, and too young is too cool." |

Tomato 4/4 |
Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004) |
"Brutal yet meaningful, agonizing yet touching, The Brotherhood of War is a harrowing but rewarding experience." |

The Tailor of Panama (2001) |
"A literate and entertaining comic thriller." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Take the Lead (2006) |
"Like its star, the movie verges on hooey but cuts too stylish a swath to dislike for long." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Taken (2009) |
"If it’s unrepentant violence you’re after, you’re better off renting [director] Morel’s 2004 collaboration syndicate with Besson, District B13." |

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) |
"Perhaps at 90 or so minutes, it would have been the Hitchcockian thriller that it isn't at the beginning but turns into. At two hours and 20 minutes, there's too much of the film that feels like reiteration." |

Tape (2001) |
"Perhaps because they are working out emotional conflicts from high school, and Vince seems stuck at a childish emotional level, what takes place in the room seems juvenile, despite the powerful subject matter." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 4/4 |
Tarnation (2004) |
"A tortured, inspired, convulsively beautiful film memoir." |
Eric Harrison |

Tarzan (1999) |

Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999) |
"The movie needs a few more ideas and a lot more thrills to excite viewers, whether young or old." |

Team America: World Police (2004) |
"Though Team America has knee-slapping moments, too much mirth has too little on its mind." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato B+ |
Tears of the Sun (2003) |
"What's noteworthy is that Tears is simultaneously a gripping action tale and a plea for a policy of engagement, of humanitarian intervention, in parts of the world where oil is not at stake." |

The Ten (2007) |
"Perhaps the Bible needs an 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Bore. That might stem misfires such as The Ten." |
Bruce Westbrook |

Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006) |
"Gass and Black should have been given a few more chances to go completely bonkers." |

The Terminal (2004) |
"Unavoidably funny and touching enough that we can ignore its weaknesses." |

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) |
"In style and texture, this $170 million film lies between the gritty look of the first Terminator and the slick extravagance of the second." |

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) |
"It's just as guilty as Blair Witch 2 for smothering bare-bones fright with ladles of gore." |
Bruce Westbrook |

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994) |
"From electric cattle prods to human infernos, it's an tough, rough ride." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 3/4 |
Thank You For Smoking (2006) |
"Literate and smirky in its assault on liars and fools across the map." |

That Thing You Do! (1996) |
"In the end, the movie simply clicks. It is a class act all the way." |
Jeff Millar |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Alps (2007) |
"An eye-popping tribute to the European range that's heaved heavenward since bulging from the Earth eons ago during continental drift." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Clone Wars (2008) |
"It moves fast, conquers armies, kicks into hyperspace and spits out idiotic quips with unapologetic cartoon brio." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Counterfeiters (2008) |
"Is this the last word on the Holocaust? No. But nothing is. And nothing ever should be." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat 1/4 |
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) |
"Arguably the worst reconstitution of a '50s sci-fi classic since the ghastly Godzilla remake, The Day the Earth Stood Still is a stunningly misconceived folly that is bearable only for as long as it remains a fair-to-middling chase movie." |
Joe Leydon |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Polar Express (2004) |
"A wondrous, dazzling, eye-popping adventure." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
There Will Be Blood (2007) |
"As an incurable romantic, I hold out hope that Anderson's flawed but phenomenal feat here marks the start of a new, mature stage in a long career. He has genius in him. So does the movie -- before its ending." |

The Third Man (1949) |
"Welles gives Harry a mask of irony that turns all moral judgment back on itself. He turns a mass murderer into a wry rogue, and makes his villainy all the more horrifying because we rather like him." |

Thirteen (2003) |
"Thirteen, a disturbing look at rebellious teens, is galvanized by emotional extremes and wrenching performances. But this gritty indie film also presumes a profundity that its edgy shocks and drama-queen histrionics don't deliver." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato B+ |
Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (2002) |
"The movie occasionally threatens to become didactic, but it's too grounded in the reality of its characters to go over the edge. A touch of humor or an unexpected plot twist always pulls it back." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato |
Thirteen Days (2000) |
"Who would've thought this nearly 40-year-old piece of history could be turned into such a riveting motion picture?" |

Thirteen Ghosts (2001) |

This Is England (2007) |
"A drama that's so potent and persuasive yet also natural and intimate that it almost has the heft of a documentary." |
