Take the Lead (2006)

"Good-hearted, energetic but preposterous."

Taking Woodstock (2009)

"For a while, Woodstock represented a spirit of peaceful sharing that sometimes makes America great. That's what this native-born writer and immigrant director want us to remember."

Talk to Her (2002)

"This remains minor Almodóvar, despite a few funny jabs at his favorite targets: the church, the media, macho behavior."

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)

"‘Mediocre’ is an apt description for any of Will Ferrell's sloppy, casually funny comedies, especially Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby."

Tarzan (1999)

"Mainstream American animation hasn't produced anything this memorable since Aladdin."

Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999)

"Williamson breaks a cardinal rule of good writing: Audiences will play by any rules you choose to establish, but you can't change them in the bottom of the ninth inning."

Tears of the Sun (2003)

"Fuqua and his writers, Alex Lasker and Patrick Cirillo, have delivered not only the most satisfying and plausible action movie in months but one that's accidentally timely."

Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006)

"It might be too easy, based on all the bong jokes, to suggest the writers couldn't distinguish between 'funny' and 'lame' because they were high. But I'll suggest that, anyway."

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

"Mind-blowing stunts, gap-filled plot, excellent Arnold, corny lines. Overall, worthy sequel to fine forebears."

Thank You For Smoking (2006)

"Fierce, fast and funny, a triumph for Jason Reitman as the director and writer who adapted Christopher Buckley's novel."

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)

"There was no way to re-make The Day The Earth Stood Still properly today."

Then She Found Me (2008)

"Both role and movie fit [Hunt] as comfortable as a favorite bathrobe, and she wins us over long before the final tiny twist of the ending."

The Thin Red Line (1998)

"A visually enchanting, philosophically murky meditation on war."

Thirteen (2003)

"Wood, who did indeed look wooden in last year's Simone and Little Secrets, burns her way into your memory here."

Thomas Crown Affair, The (1999)

"Glossy, uninvolving, full of irrelevant but handsome scenes in sailboats and gliders, requiring such suspension of disbelief that I expected Tinker Bell to fly past."

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005)

"Burials barely has one plot: Grizzled Texas cowhand Pete Perkins (Tommy Lee Jones) wants to give his pal proper internment in Mexico and make his killer pay."

Three to Tango (1999)

"Full of gay jokes that were tired back in the day of In and Out."

Time Changer (2002)

"A few nonbelievers may rethink their attitudes when they see the joy the characters take in this creed, but skeptics aren't likely to enter the theater."

Timeline (2003)

"A cartoonish, ludicrous and (unintentionally) hilarious piece of action fluff that wouldn't fool a 10-year-old."

Touching the Void (2004)

"Warms the heart while chilling the bones."

Traffic (2000)

"Traffic is about a war we'll never win, a war we may never admit we can't win. It has its share of blood and sweat. But after 2½ smoothly flowing hours, what you remember most are the tears."

Traitor (2008)

"A thriller that's frequently implausible but almost always thoughtful."

Transformers (2007)

"I came away convinced I'd had the most sheer, loud fun of any blockbuster in a summer that has delivered too little of that quantity."

Treasure Planet (2002)

"Disney's updated, animated version respects its source material while aiming at kids who grew up with extreme sports and edgy music."

Troy (2004)

"What do you get if you start with the first great narrative of Western civilization, then remove all the psychological complexity and profound characterization?"
