The Tailor of Panama (2001)

"Forget the end and there is much to enjoy here, especially in the playing of Pierce Brosnan and Geoffrey Rush."

Taken (2009)

"A fleet, no-nonsense rescue thriller from the crackerjack French director Pierre Morel, Taken is satisfying (1) for the Gaelic gravitas of its star, (2) its slam-bang chase scenes and bone-snapping martial arts, and (3) the scenic backdrops of Paris."

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)

"As Ryder's motives begin to reveal themselves, The Taking of Pelham 123 loses its aura of post-9/11 dread, replaced by a muddled commentary on Wall Street greed in these days of raging financial crises."

Taking Woodstock (2009)

"Lee distills the flavor of this transforming event and hints at how it transformed some who were there. His movie is a contact high."

Talk to Her (2002)

"A powerfully moving film about men who think they want to lose themselves in their women, then are startled to realize that they're the ones who have been comatose."

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)

"The absurdly funny Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is at once a glorious send-up of NASCAR culture and a goofy celebration of the redneck, red state, red-blooded American culture that spawned it."

Tarnation (2004)

"Tinged with nostalgia and flooded with narcissism, this isn't easy to watch. But Caouette's fractured history is imbued with heart-crushing sincerity."

Taxi (2004)

"Director Tim Story's film has two speeds: pedal-to-metal and screeching halt. The former is guaranteed to make the audience carsick, the latter to give it whiplash."

Taxidermia (2009)

"Visually dazzling and outlandishly obscene."

Tears of the Sun (2003)

"Tears of the Sun has a title that makes no sense whatsoever. The film's message, on the other hand, makes too much sense -- it's simplistic and reactionary and designed to get hearts pumping but not minds thinking."

Tell No One (2008)

"A terrific mystery, equal parts haunting love story and nimble thriller."

Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006)

"Baked and half-baked."

The Terminal (2004)

"An uneven mix of comedy and pathos."

Terminator Salvation (2009)

"Message to Hollywood: Stop with the time-travel stuff."

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

The Cats of Mirikitani (2006)

"Poignant beyond words, The Cats of Mirikitani is comparable to finding a pearl in a pile of oyster shells."

The Counterfeiters (2008)

"As writer-director Stefan Ruzowitzky shows, powerfully, affectingly, in The Counterfeiters, the privileges experienced by this small team of Jews and criminals came at a price."

The Duchess of Langeais (2008)

"Based on a Balzac story, Rivette's Duchess manages to be both old-fashioned in its settings and circumstances, and coolly modern in its view of thwarted passion and despair."

The Signal (2007)

"A startlingly original, smart indie film that so effortlessly mixes high-caliber gore, suspense and shocking violence with vaudevillian hilarity, it's clearly animated by the spirit of the classic Re-Animator films."

There Will Be Blood (2007)

"Day-Lewis, channeling John Huston and Orson Welles (the grumbling intonations, the crazy-eyed glares) and who-knows-who-else, is nothing short of astounding."

The Thing About My Folks (2005)

"While I resisted much of it, by its finale I was grateful for the trip, and even more grateful to Reiser, who enabled Falk and Dukakis to give the performances of their careers."

Thirst (2009)

"Thirst begins with great intellectual and artistic promise, then devolves into a repetitious mess of teeth, blades, necks, bites, arterial sprays, sex, sex, sex and death."

Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (2002)

"It shows how, in the cosmic scheme of things, disconnected acts and people do connect. And that they inalterably change each other."

This Christmas (2007)

"At the multiplex where so many holiday movies feel regifted, This Christmas is a gift."

This Is England (2007)

"Until the final scene of Meadows' edgy, uneasy film, the suspense is killing."
