Taboo (2000)

Wesley Morris

Tomato
3/4

Tadpole (2002)

"Tadpole will delight audiences for its comedy."

Mick LaSalle

Tomato
4/4

Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004)

"Epic in scope and violent in a way that every war film has to be since Saving Private Ryan, Taegukgi is a big-time movie that never loses sight of its human story."

G. Allen Johnson

Tomato
3/4

The Tailor of Panama (2001)

"Very talky -- fortunately, with actors like these and a script by Andrew Davies, Boorman and Le Carre himself, the talk is frequently good."

Bob Graham

Tomato
4/4

The Take (2004)

"A balance of fact and fury."

Jonathan Curiel

Tomato
3/4

Take Care of My Cat (2001)

"Take Care is nicely performed by a quintet of actresses, but nonetheless it drags during its 112-minute length."

Edward Guthmann

Tomato
3/4

Take My Eyes (2006)

"A mesmerizing and deeply disturbing film from Spain."

Splat
2/4

Take the Lead (2006)

"Although based on a true story, Take the Lead continually strains credibility."

Ruthe Stein

Tomato
3/4

Taken (2009)

"I won't tell you Taken is great, but it's great fun."

Mick LaSalle

Splat
2/4

Taking Lives (2004)

"To buy this picture, you have to buy Jolie's character, and the actress succeeds much of the time. But once her contained, job-obsessed agent gets involved with a man close to her case, much of what came before is negated."

Carla Meyer

Tomato
3/4

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)

"The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 has all the usual virtues of a good action suspense drama."

Mick LaSalle

Splat
1/4

Taking Sides (2003)

"The movie's promise -- to provide a balanced argument -- goes unrealized, and all we're left with is the spectacle of an idiot bullying a genius."

Mick LaSalle

Tomato
3/4

Taking Woodstock (2009)

"Taking Woodstock has the appeal of an inside story told from an especially good angle. But beyond that, the movie is a celebration of the way this event has gone into memory and of the meaning it has acquired."

Mick LaSalle

Tomato
3/4

The Tale of Despereaux (2008)

"The Tale of Despereaux may not be a classic, but it still has a lot of class."

Peter Hartlaub

Tomato
3/4

A Tale Of Two Sisters (2003)

"[Kim] creates stunning images ripe with meaning."

Ruthe Stein

Splat
1/4

The Talent Given Us (2004)

"We're encouraged to believe that at least some of what we're hearing is a reflection of 'real' family concerns, but the film makes it impossible to tell what's genuine and what's pretend in all the soul-baring."

Walter V. Addiego

Tomato
4/4

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)

"If anybody can create sympathy for the devil, the angelic Matt Damon can."

Bob Graham

Splat
1/4

Tales from the Crypt - Bordello of Blood (1996)

"This gory vampire spoof is remarkably free of jolts, hardly registering as a fright film, with a series of weak special effects involving many globs of guts."

Peter Stack

Splat
2/4

Tales from the Crypt - Demon Knight (1995)

"The movie isn't particularly well-paced, and I found it dull."

Edward Guthmann

-

Tales From the Hood (1995)

Mick LaSalle

Tomato
3/4

Talk to Her (2002)

"This is Almodovar's stab at serious drama, and the result is bizarre and affecting but also unsettling in ways that the filmmaker may not have intended."

Mick LaSalle

Splat
2/4

Talk to Me (2007)

"Watching it becomes an exercise in frustration when a potentially great movie winds up buried inside a just OK one."

Ruthe Stein

-

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense (1984)

Click here to see the review.

Edward Guthmann

Tomato
3/4

A Talking Picture (2003)

"A potent and troubling meditation on the state of Western society."

Walter V. Addiego

-

Tall Tale: The Unbelievable Adventure (1995)

Click here to see the review.

Leah Garchik

Tomato
3/4

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)

"The picture gets a bit long near the finish. But comedies live and die on the basis of their laugh quotient, and Talladega Nights gets its share."

Mick LaSalle

Splat
2/4

Tamala 2010 (2003)

"The anime Tamala 2010 asks a lot of the viewer, but it gives something back, though I'm not sure exactly what."

Walter V. Addiego

Tomato
4/4

Tango (1998)

The Tango Lesson (1997)

Edward Guthmann

Tomato
3/4

The Tao of Steve (2000)

Click here to see the review.

Mick LaSalle

Tomato
3/4

Tape (2001)

"Like most movies by Linklater, it's the kind of film that doesn't usually get made -- a dramatic chamber piece for young people."

Mick LaSalle

Tomato
3/4

Tarnation (2004)

"A lacerating portrait of a family in free-fall."

Walter V. Addiego

Tomato
4/4

Tarzan (1999)

"So far, the most entertaining film of the year."

Peter Stack

Splat
1/4

Tarzan and the Lost City (1998)

Click here to see the review.

Peter Stack

Tomato
3/4

Taste of Cherry (1997)

"Kiarostami is in no rush, but the respect and love he shows for his characters, and the confidence and simplicity of his technique, make Taste of Cherry a satisfying experience."

Edward Guthmann

Tomato
3/4

The Taste of Others (2001)

"Rich with vivid characters and revelations about the illogical yet human ways in which we crash and intersect."

Edward Guthmann

Tomato
2.5/4

The Taste of Tea (2004)

"Quirky with a capital Q..."

G. Allen Johnson

Splat
2/4

Tattoo (2002)

"It's all gratuitous before long, as if Schwentke were fulfilling a gross-out quota for an anticipated audience demographic instead of shaping the material to fit the story."

Edward Guthmann

Tomato
2/4

Taxi (2004)

"A formula picture, with enough laughs to get by."

Mick LaSalle

Tomato
4/4

Taxi Driver (1976)

"The heart and soul of Taxi Driver are twisted in a way that can't be faked or copied."

Mick LaSalle

Tomato
5/5

Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)

"Will go down in film history as a damning historical document of the Bush administration's wartime expansion of executive powers."

Tamara Straus

Tomato
4/4

Tazza: The High Rollers (2006)

"It's a ton of fun, a totally irresistible tale of gambling, greed, love and violence. With gorgeous actors, designer clothes and thrilling action, it's fast-moving (even at 2 hours, 20 minutes) popcorn entertainment."

G. Allen Johnson

Tomato
3/4

Tea With Mussolini (1999)

Click here to see the review.

Mick LaSalle

Splat
2/4

Teacher's Pet (2004)

"Originality aside, parents expecting a mainstream film may want to wait until another Disney cartoon featuring happy woodland creatures comes along."

Peter Hartlaub

Splat
1/4

Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999)

"Spiteful and shallow!"

Mick LaSalle

Splat
0/4

Team America: World Police (2004)

"As puppetry, Team America is stilted. As satire, it's gutless and lazy. And as comedy, it barely delivers laughs."

Mick LaSalle

Splat
2/4

Tears of the Black Tiger (2000)

"It's watchable, but eventually wears you down with its over-the-top cleverness."

Ruthe Stein

Tomato
2/4

Tears of the Sun (2003)

"At its best, it's a little hard to sit through. At its worst, it's like every other picture about soldiers on a tough mission. What pushes it above mediocrity is that it ends better than it begins."

Mick LaSalle

Splat
2/4

Teddy Bears' Picnic (2002)

"The satire is unfocused, while the story goes nowhere."

Mick LaSalle

Tomato
4/5

Teeth (2008)

"Extremely funny, very clever and still packs some cover-your-face bloody thrills that top any Saw or Hostel movie."

Peter Hartlaub
