The Tailor of Panama (2001) |
"If you think the spy-thriller genre has been streamlined and spoofed and subverted until nothing new can be done to it, think again." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Take Out (2008) |
"...manages to mix immersive, pseudo-documentary filmmaking with a suspenseful narrative." |
Sara Cardace |
Tomato |
Taken (2009) |
"It’s the big, dolorous Neeson who makes the movie a keeper." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) |
"Travolta’s high-tech 21st-century scheme turns out to be not just preposterous but superfluous, demented." |

Taking Woodstock (2009) |
"Lee and his producer and screenwriter, James Schamus, have turned Tiber’s book into a gentle, rather tepid film. Its first half is modest and likable, but it goes on for over two hours." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) |
"It's a gorgeously unsettling film. You can hide in the shadows, but luminescence exposes who you are, and the only escape is into another identity." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Tape (2001) |
"The performances are amazingly charged and fluid." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Tarnation (2004) |
"By all odds, Tarnation should have been an unwatchable, masochistic morass, but Caouette's love for the broken Renee -- which is the true subject of the film -- is awe-inspiring." |
Peter Rainer |

Tarzan (1999) |
"Perhaps Disney thought the best way to get around the ooga-booga stereotype was to eliminate blacks altogether." |

Taxi to the Dark Side (2008) |
"Alex Gibney’s Taxi to the Dark Side is the documentary that many of us have prayed for, the one that could break through even to people who relish the torture set pieces on 24 and will hear no evil about the War on Terror." |

Tears of the Black Tiger (2000) |
"It’s no buried postmodern masterpiece, but it certainly is a jaw-dropper: a delirium-inducing crash course in international trash." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Tears of the Sun (2003) |
"In a movie with so much graphic suffering by innocent Africans, it's a bit disconcerting that so much loving attention is paid to Bruce Willis’s anguished mug." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Teeth (2008) |
"In Teeth, Mitchell Lichtenstein makes the old v.d. the centerpiece of a gory female-revenge black comedy." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Tell No One (2008) |
"This smash-hit French thriller starts slowly -- and builds into a sharp action flick, though an overload of plot twists threatens to bog things down midway through." |
Sara Cardace |
Tomato |
Tell Them Who You Are (2005) |
"[A] tremendously moving documentary." |
Ken Tucker |
Tomato |
The Terminal (2004) |
"It’s an odd fable: Viktor is the mysterious visitor who shows us what the American Dream is all about—in the movie’s terms, compassion for others -- without ever wanting to become an American himself." |

Terminator Salvation (2009) |
"This isn’t storytelling, it’s programming -- inorganic matter passing for life." |

Terror's Advocate (2007) |
"A brilliant study in the link between moral corruption and narcissism." |

Thank You For Smoking (2006) |
"Even the good lines here last a self-congratulatory beat too long." |

The Cats of Mirikitani (2006) |
"It’s one of the best kinds of documentaries -- not calculated but serendipitous." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) |
"The remake of that fine old fifties alien-invasion picture The Day the Earth Stood Still comes to a standstill about an hour before the Earth does in the wilds of New Jersey." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
The Duchess of Langeais (2008) |
"With the simplest of means, the director Jacques Rivette has cut a path to the heart of Balzac’s The Duchess of Langeais." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
The Polar Express (2004) |
"Strap yourself in and try not to vomit, because this is more of a theme-park event than a movie -- Pirates of the Caribbean in reverse, a wild ride stripped of its story, down to a rattling series of obvious, underwhelming effects." |
Logan Hill |
Tomato |
Theater of War (2008) |
"As a onetime dramaturg and Brechtian, I enjoyed the chin-wags and the glimpses of Streep in rehearsal -- especially her quivering admission that she can’t bear the thought of anyone seeing her process." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
There Will Be Blood (2007) |
"It’s sublime -- beautiful and ghastly at once." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
There's Something About Mary (1998) |
"The trouble with the Farrelly brothers is that in order to get a laugh, they dump on everybody and everything." |
David Denby |

Thirst (2009) |
"It’s fun (if overlong), but for all the noisy slurping, there’s no fresh blood." |

Three Kings (1999) |
"Ultimately, instead of drawing us in, his swagger and the dazzle of his pyrotechnics keep us at a remove from the savagery. They become abstractions, too." |

Thumbsucker (2005) |

The Time Traveler's Wife (2009) |
"I’m over the moon about this movie, which smooths out the psychological dissonances in Audrey Niffenegger’s fine novel but is still an emotional workout." |

Times and Winds (2008) |
"An immersive meditation on the unsettling power of nature, creating a world in which its human characters are but one link in a tangled natural order." |
