The Tailor of Panama (2001) |
"The decision to let Brosnan play Osnard probably kept the Bond producers up a few nights, but letting him do it was the right call." |

Taking Lives (2004) |
"Caruso is a much more resourceful director than this material deserves, but I resented being two steps ahead of the genius profiler and the genius serial-killer." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) |
"It's easy to imagine why Pelham's producers wouldn't want Scott's professional but dull picture to be compared with the 1974 classic." |
John Swansburg |
Splat |
Taking Woodstock (2009) |
"Even as a mind-clearing break from Lee's darker, more ambitious work, Taking Woodstock is an underachieving movie, so slight and gentle-spirited that it seems to be looking at the summer of 1969 through a scrim of rosy gauze." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
Talk to Her (2002) |
"The movie is the strangest experience: a matter-of-fact thing that swallows you whole." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |
"Talladega Nights is as good as a summer comedy about NASCAR has any right to be, with fine actors tucked into every nook and cranny." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
Tarnation (2004) |
"Tarnation is a collage of pain that breaks over you like a wave." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Team America: World Police (2004) |
"I laughed all the way through Team America." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Tears of the Black Tiger (2000) |
"What the story lacks in snap, it makes up for in sincerity. [The film's] melodrama is so poker-faced and its gore so explicit (if phony-looking) that it's hard to tell whether you're dealing with the Thai Todd Haynes or the Thai Sam Peckinpah." |

Tell Them Who You Are (2005) |
"Tell Them Who You Are is fascinating for the issues -- ethical, aesthetic, psychoanalytic -- it raises. But it doesn't fully come together." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
The Tenants (2005) |
"There's something about the no-exit, zero-sum logic of the film's rivalry that makes this dingy, grim little indie hard to look away from." |
Dana Stevens |
Splat |
The Terminal (2004) |
"Bland and semidelusional Hollywood sentimentality." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) |
"The villain comes back more times than Wile E. Coyote. I found it tiresome and witless and numbingly repetitive, but action mavens won't feel cheated." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Terminator Salvation (2009) |
"A good summer movie isn't just an uninterrupted crescendo of cacophony. You need stuff in between the fireballs and the cyborgs." |

There Will Be Blood (2007) |
"With his fifth film, There Will Be Blood Paul Thomas Anderson goes from the brainy poet of new American cinema to its deranged visionary." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
There's Something About Mary (1998) |
"Wrackingly funny." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Thirteen (2003) |
"Thirteen has a way of smashing through your defenses." |

Tomato |
This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006) |
"The movie is both clever and ruthless at exposing the ratings board's inconsistencies and hypocrisy." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
This So-Called Disaster (2004) |
"It's fun to see actors doing what they do and to see them through the eyes of a director." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
A Thousand Acres (1997) |
"From the first frame, a silhouetted barn and windmill at dawn, the images feel prefab, and the all-purpose wistful tinkly piano and sighing strings pin them even more boringly down." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) |
"For a movie about the policing of borders, couldn't this one have maintained a firmer one, between credulity and incredulity? Between seriousness and self-seriousness?" |
Stephen Metcalf |

Thumbsucker (2005) |
"The quintessential misadapted head-scratcher." |

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005) |
"The movie is so Burtonesque that it verges on self-parody -- but it's fun and stunningly beautiful anyway." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
The Time Traveler's Wife (2009) |
"Long spans of time pass between lines of dialogue, many of which seem to have been inexpertly translated from a foreign language so that they almost make sense but not quite." |
Dana Stevens |
Splat |
Timeline (2003) |
"Here [Walker] has been given the heart-rending role of, uh, Paul Walker, and I'm sad to report he's not up to the task." |
Bryan Curtis |
Splat |
Titanic (1997) |
"Now it can be told: The Titanic went down because of two distracting smoochers on the poop deck." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Together (2001) |
"A scruffy delight, a movie with the happiest sort of family values." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Touch of Evil (1958) |
"I first saw it when I was 14 and thought it was one of the worst pictures ever -- garish, oppressive, and appallingly overacted. Grown up, I'd go with those same adjectives, except now I think it's one of the best." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Touching the Void (2004) |
"While some of the moviemaking looks very conventional, I have enormous respect for the camera operator and wouldn't blame him a bit if at times he worried more about stepping into a 300-foot crevasse than in getting the most original angle." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Towelhead (2008) |
"A movie that, for all its good intentions, feels thoroughly phony and mildly embarrassing, like an extended PSA about inappropriate touching." |
Dana Stevens |
Splat |
Training Day (2001) |
"Giving Alonso a melodramatic secret -- a reason for this particular behavior on this particular day -- trivializes the whole exercise." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Transamerica (2005) |
"Felicity Huffman's face is what holds you in Duncan Tucker's delightful Transamerica." |
David Edelstein |

Transformers (2007) |
"The whole movie has a lightness of tone, an affection for its own cheesiness." |
Dana Stevens |
Splat |
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) |
"The simplest thing Bay could have done to clarify the stakes of the robot wars would be to visually distinguish the robots from one another in some way. Armbands? Shirts and skins? "Hello, My Name Is" stickers?" |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
The Trials of Henry Kissinger (2002) |
"Although the case is blatantly one-sided -- it should have been called The Case Against Henry Kissinger, as was Hitchens' original article -- it's still riveting and, within limits, persuasive." |
David Greenberg |
Tomato |
Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story (2006) |
"Trying to enumerate everything that's good about this movie could prove as labyrinthine a task as Tristram's storytelling itself." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
Tropic Thunder (2008) |
"Anyone walking into Tropic Thunder looking to be offended by Downey's minstrel turn will soon find that the movie is two steps ahead." |
Dana Stevens |

Troy (2004) |
"Often plays like what it is: a clunky toga-and-sandals picture, with Hollywood compromises abounding." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
The Truth About Charlie (2002) |
"The truth is that The Truth About Charlie gets increasingly tiresome." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
The TV Set (2007) |
"The TV Set is a little wonder of a movie, as smart and sad and true as any comedy I've seen this year." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
Twilight (2008) |
"As a parable for the dark side of female desire, it's weirdly powerful." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) |
"Mopey, draggy, and absurdly self-important, the movie nonetheless twangs at some resonant affective chord." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
Two Girls and a Guy (1997) |
"You gotta admire a director who can come up with a way to hang out in such luxurious digs for two weeks, acting out sexual situations with three of the dishiest young actors in the business." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Two Lovers (2009) |
"The movie's occasionally risible sincerity is what sets the flawed but riveting Two Lovers apart from other recent films about young New Yorkers in love." |

Tyson (2009) |
"It's a movie that's thought-provoking without being intelligent and candid without being truthful. The same aesthetic choices that [director] Toback seems convinced will set his documentary apart are also what diminishes its credibility." |
