Tomato B |
Tadpole (2002) |
"It's fun, wispy, wise and surprisingly inoffensive for a film about a teen in love with his stepmom." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato |
The Tailor of Panama (2001) |
"Stylish, sly and sophisticated, a classy adult film redolent of that satirical spy spoof Our Man in Havana." |
Jane Sumner |
Tomato B |
The Take (2004) |
"Mr. Lewis and Ms. Klein found themselves a subject and a setting rife with drama, and they showed a reporter's dogged verve in entering the thick of the action." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B |
Take the Lead (2006) |
"The eye-popping dance numbers and affecting performances by the young leads, as well as Mr. Banderas and Ms. Woodard, make it worth the ride." |
Nancy Churnin |
Tomato B- |
Taking Lives (2004) |
"An above-average thriller." |
Philip Wuntch |
Splat 3/5 |
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) |
"At first it's exciting, but as the film progresses, that quick-cut, never-stop pacing seems increasingly desperate." |
Tom Maurstad |
Tomato B |
Taking Sides (2003) |
"The talk in this moral debate smokes with provocative drama and actors of weight." |
Jane Sumner |
Splat 2/5 |
Taking Woodstock (2009) |
"Taking Woodstock fails to achieve anything beyond a contact high because of Martin's listless performance as the central character." |
Preston Jones |
Tomato B |
The Tale of Despereaux (2008) |
"The film dispenses entirely with the bathroom humor that has become a standard element in so much kids entertainment." |
Tom Maurstad |
Tomato |
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) |
"The Talented Mr. Ripley inhabits a world of shiny, sparkly surfaces. Looking beneath those surfaces provides provocative fun and probing drama." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato C+ |
Taliesin Jones (2002) |
"A sweet, tender sermon about a 12-year-old Welsh boy more curious about God than girls, who learns that believing in something does matter." |
Jane Sumner |
Tomato A- |
Talk to Her (2002) |
"The results are poetic, beguiling, elusive and definitively Almodóvarian." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B+ |
Talk to Me (2007) |
"Talk to Me is more than enough fun as a showcase for Mr. Cheadle's wit and spontaneity and as an inside look at the airwaves' transition from warm and fuzzy comforter to the anything-goes entertainment of today." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B+ |
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |
"Talladega Nights is an unapologetic goof fest, light as aluminum and seemingly edited with Scotch tape. But it's smart enough to buy gags in bulk and puts them in the hands of three guys who can improvise until the cars come home." |
Chris Vognar |

Tamara (2006) |

Tomato |
Tape (2001) |
"It's for anyone who appreciates the bitter erosion of friendship and the one-upmanship and mind games bred by festering antagonism." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato A |
Tarnation (2004) |
"It transcends the recent trend of self-revelatory documentaries and becomes something rare: art." |
Charles Ealy |
Tomato |
Tarzan (1999) |
"Disney's Tarzan is kinder, gentler and a lot more fun than in previous movie incarnations!" |
Nancy Churnin |
Tomato |
The Taste of Others (2001) |
"Slyly written, the intelligent social satire is surely acted and ... confidently, ably directed." |
Jane Sumner |
Splat C- |
Taxi (2004) |
"This comedy caper throws a little of everything into the mix with the predictable result that it winds up not being much of anything." |
Tom Maurstad |
Tomato B |
Teacher's Pet (2004) |
"You don't have to be a fan of the TV show to enjoy watching this dog chase his shtick." |
Nancy Churnin |
Splat |
Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999) |
"Dismal." |
|
Tomato B+ |
Team America: World Police (2004) |
"Profane, violent, and scabrously funny, this Team has something to offend all, from pious Hollywood liberals to knee-jerk nationalists." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B- |
Tears of the Sun (2003) |
"Just smart and novel enough to not be mistaken for military propaganda." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat C- |
Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006) |
"It's pointless to nitpick a film this ostentatiously loose and loutish, but in the film's execution much of that spirit just comes off as lazy and careless." |
Tom Maurstad |
Tomato 3/5 |
Tennessee (2009) |
"The good news is that Carey isn't bad." |
John Metz |
Tomato A- |
The Terminal (2004) |
"A joyous movie." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B |
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) |
"Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines has plot holes wide enough to drive a tank through. The filmmakers obviously feel that most viewers will be too busy watching the onscreen artillery to notice. They are probably right." |
Philip Wuntch |
Splat C- |
Testosterone (2003) |
"A lackluster and meandering exercise in psycho-sexual provocation." |
Tom Maurstad |
Splat D |
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) |
"One gets the feeling the movie is little more than product meant to entice the unsuspecting -- neither new nor improved, merely the same wine in a different bottle." |
Gary Dowell |
Splat |
Texas Rangers (2001) |
"Although it's not the worst western ever made (The Terror of Tiny Town will forever hold that title), it is one of the most mediocre, falling prey to more cliches than you can shake a six-gun at." |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato B+ |
Thank You For Smoking (2006) |
"A fun, smart film. But you can't help but wish Thank You would bare its fangs a little more." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato |
That Obscure Object of Desire (1977) |
"One of the director's later works, That Obscure Object of Desire, examines the puzzle of sexual politics." |
Gary Dowell |
Splat D |
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) |
"This movie is as clunky and unappealing as the space-saving acronym being used to avoid its endless title -- TDTESS." |
Tom Maurstad |
Tomato A |
The Fallen Idol (1948) |
"It's a masterful and unsentimental child's-eye view of the cold, hard adult world." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B+ |
The Polar Express (2004) |
"The Polar Express is a stunning technological achievement and, for the most part, a stirring emotional one." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato A- |
There Will Be Blood (2007) |
"A haunting enigma that refuses to conform to any recognizable pattern, period or otherwise. I suppose you could see it as a descendent of Citizen Kane. But such comparisons aren't really fair to either film." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat D+ |
They (2002) |
"What happens when something goes bump in the night and nobody cares?" |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato |
The Thin Red Line (1998) |
"A painterly, probing and poetic picture of war." |
Jane Sumner |
Tomato B |
The Thing About My Folks (2005) |
"If ever there were a movie to see with your pop, this is just the Thing." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B+ |
Things We Lost in the Fire (2007) |
"A supple and angular story of grief." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato A- |
Thirteen (2003) |
"Burns with emotional truth." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat C |
Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (2002) |
"It works in fits and starts, but you never shake the feeling that it's trying too hard." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato |
Thirteen Days (2000) |
"Thirteen Days will make you shudder, but only in ways the filmmakers intended." |
Philip Wuntch |
Splat |
Thirteen Ghosts (2001) |
"While 13 Ghosts, a remake of Mr. Castle's 1960 haunted-house schlocker, isn't a bad movie per se, its austerity and predictability show what a cheesy genius the man was." |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato B+ |
This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006) |
"This Film Is Not Yet Rated may be a mischievous, slanted and even angry piece of work, but it articulates a rage that filmmakers and film consumers have felt for years." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato |
Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000) |
"Thomas fans should be pleased." |
Nancy Churnin |
Tomato |
Thomas Crown Affair, The (1999) |
"A refreshing, often breezy affair." |
Philip Wuntch |
Splat C- |
A Thousand Clouds Of Peace (2003) |
"Mr. Hernández's attempt to put an interior landscape on film a la Pasolini may seem stultifying and pretentious, but it's also a brave dark experiment." |
Jane Sumner |
Tomato B |
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) |
"Three Burials still reaches the kind of pungency it seems to be seeking, and it touches on issues of alienation and distance very relevant to the reality of countless migrants." |
