Tomato 3/4 |
Tadpole (2002) |
"Stanford assumes the role of Oscar with rare conviction, and makes such a disconcertingly appealing 15-year-old that it's a relief to know he was actually 23 when he shot the movie." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Take the Lead (2006) |
"In the end, this peppy number doesn't know which way it should swing." |
Randy Myers |
Tomato B- |
Taking Sides (2003) |
"Skarsgard is an actor with the power to make us feel emotionally scoured at the end of the film." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato 3/4 |
Talk to Me (2007) |
" What's powerful about Talk to Me is the way it acknowledges how difficult it was for Dewey and Petey to face not only their own dichotomy but their real love for each other." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B+ |
Taxi to the Dark Side (2008) |
"These members of the military were dubbed the 'few bad apples' by Bush administration officials, but the new documentary Taxi to the Dark Side painstakingly illustrates how the rot that reached them came from the highest branches of government." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B+ |
Team America: World Police (2004) |
"The creators of South Park have outdone themselves." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato C+ |
Tears of the Sun (2003) |
"An action movie that doesn't have much upstairs, but is loaded with enough naive gumption to lull you into liking it." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato 3/4 |
Teeth (2008) |
"It's safe to say that he [writer/director Mitchell Lichtenstein] has made the boldest debut of this admittedly young year." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat C |
The Terminal (2004) |
"This skillfully constructed saga of sentimentality is the falsest movie of the year." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B |
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) |
"A fast-paced, thoroughly entertaining new chapter in the history of everyone's favorite muscle-bound, time-traveling cyborg." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B+ |
Thank You For Smoking (2006) |
"Smoking almost too accurately mirrors reality instead of distorting it. It cuts not just to the funny bone, but deeper, to the heart of America." |
Randy Myers |
Tomato B+ |
The Polar Express (2004) |
"The source material has been broadened with great respect and tenderness, while the illustrations that made the book so special have served as inspiration for some of the most beautiful computer-generated imagery ever." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato A- |
There Will Be Blood (2007) |
"There will be no other film like it this year or next, nothing that sounds like it or looks like it or feels like it." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat D+ |
These Foolish Things (2006) |
"Tiresome. Even those who relish a good backstage drama may have trouble caring." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B- |
Things We Lost in the Fire (2007) |
"Del Toro...is both authentic and magnetic." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat 2/4 |
Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (2002) |
"A pretentious drama." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B- |
This Is England (2007) |
"Strong performances and powerful sense of time and place are almost enough to make a convincing argument for spending 98 minutes squirming with dread." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato 3/4 |
Till Human Voices Wake Us (2003) |
"A bit spooky, steadily mysterious and unexpectedly moving." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato 3/4 |
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005) |
"This Corpse rises to the occasion." |
Randy Myers |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Time Machine (2002) |
"[T]here are some nifty moments here that make this new version worth checking out." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Time Out (2002) |
"It's heartbreaking on a much deeper level, one that makes us question our entire working society." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat |
Timecode (2000) |
"Time Code isn't so much a movie as an experiment in digital filmmaking, and one likely to induce nausea or migraines in the viewer." |
Karen Hershenson |
Tomato |
Tosca (2002) |
"The director sees the strengths of Alagna and Gheorghiu and plays them for every cinematic moment." |
Georgia Rowe |
Tomato B+ |
Touching the Void (2004) |
"Agonizingly suspenseful." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B |
Trade (2007) |
"Equally involving yet hard to take." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato |
Traffic (2000) |
"A movie that manages to entertain and engage us while challenging us to think about the so-called drug war from every conceivable angle." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato |
Training Day (2001) |
"Isn't as good as it thinks it is, but it still has a lot going for it." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat 2/4 |
Treasure Planet (2002) |
"A cluttered mishmash of conflicting styles and times." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato 3/4 |
Tully (2002) |
"It's a piece of handiwork that shows its indie tatters and self-conscious seams in places, but has some quietly moving moments and an intelligent subtlety." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The TV Set (2007) |
"A mostly lightweight endeavor that never builds any genuine emotional traction. And you have to wonder if it's just a little too 'inside' to resonate with a sizable audience." |
Chuck Barney |
Splat C- |
Twilight (2008) |
"The audience is left with just a whole lot of pretty and not enough soul. Not entirely a bad thing, but you can get that fix by thumbing through an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue." |
Randy Myers |
Splat C+ |
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) |
"New director Chris Weitz injects more humor and visual style than Catherine Hardwicke did in the original, but The Twilight Saga: New Moon sags and lags like the first one as it senselessly runs on for more than two hours." |
Randy Myers |
Tomato B |
Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself (2009) |
"On that positive and melodious note, Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself does no harm." |
