Tomato
3/4

Tadpole (2002)

"A movie that gets by on charm even when it's tippytoeing in taboo territory."

Terry Lawson

Tomato

The Tailor of Panama (2001)

"[Boorman] manages to strike exactly the right tone, which is somewhere between irony and amused incredulity."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Take the Lead (2006)

"A well-made if utterly unsurprising movie, which has its feet and its heart in the right place."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

Taking Lives (2004)

"This is more disappointing than it might have been because Taking Lives has a low boil but constant simmer that has been rarely present in previous attempts to revive the insinuating creepiness of The Silence of the Lambs and Se7en."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

A Tale Of Two Sisters (2003)

"There's no denying the eye for hypnotic imagery employed by writer-director Ji-woon Kim and cinematographer Mo-gae Lee."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

The Talent Given Us (2004)

"What initially seems hard to watch, even excruciating at times, becomes hard not to, a fascinating fiction that seems to be more real than just about any actual documentary you can imagine."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
4/4

Talk to Her (2002)

"Filled with wondrous surprises."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

Talk to Me (2007)

"he mood shifts awkwardly from broad comedy to melodrama and social commentary."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)

"NASCAR fans will likely love Talladega Nights, which may be a glowing endorsement or a warning sign, depending on the viewer."

John Monaghan

Tomato

The Taste of Others (2001)

"Confirms that France may be producing, per capita, more good films than any country on the globe."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Taxi (2004)

"An example of the sort of fun you can have when you're not taking yourself -- or the job -- too seriously."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

Teacher's Pet (2004)

"A one-joke movie based on a one-joke Disney TV show."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

Team America: World Police (2004)

"Team America is a hoot, and a technical achievement."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Tears of the Black Tiger (2000)

"The movie is fun to watch, with an attractive cast."

John Monaghan

Splat
1/4

Tears of the Sun (2003)

"As generic as its title."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Ten (2003)

"Ten has been praised as a further distillation of Kiarostami's already minimalist cinema. That's true enough, even if his movies still have a tendency to make us carsick."

John Monaghan

Splat
2/4

The Ten (2007)

"If there were Ten Commandments for filmmaking, one would certainly be: Thou shalt not pass off sketch comedy as a feature film, especially when charging $9 a ticket."

John Monaghan

Splat
2/4

The Ten Commandments (2007)

"Thou shalt not cast Christian Slater as Moses, no matter how much the Hollywood party boy wants to fulfill some form of karmic community service."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006)

"Manages to hold our attention for an entire 97 minutes, a feat that even metal bands with real Marshall amps are hard-pressed to accomplish."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

The Terminal (2004)

"The trip still feels oddly unnecessary."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

"T3 is not just a rare example of a worthy sequel to a sequel, it's a rare example of a worthy summer movie, one that does its job above and beyond the fast-food call of duty."

Terry Lawson

Splat
1/4

Testosterone (2003)

"[Relies] on a creaky plot and gaping lapses in plausibility."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

"It is nearly as tense and nasty as the original and, to be fair, features far better acting, most notably by Jessica Biel, who is compelling even when she isn't about to burst out of her wet T-shirt."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Thank You For Smoking (2006)

"To Reitman's credit, the director does not allow Thank You for Smoking to take the turn we would expect."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

The Polar Express (2004)

"Looks as reassuringly retro as a 1950s Lionel train set still in its original box."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Them (2007)

"Those who like their horror served up neat, no chaser, can safely belly up to Them. It is a pared-down French thriller that trades splatter and gore for tense efficiency."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)

"Though it flirts with melodrama to the tipping point, the movie, like the characters played by Berry and her costar Benicio Del Toro, ultimately makes connections too honest, hopeful and human to induce guilt on the part of any open-hearted moviegoer."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Thirteen (2003)

"Thirteen is something of a cross between the sincere if heavily varnished family drama Once and Again and in-your-face teenage movies like Larry Clark's Kids, the stuff of which parental nightmares are made."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (2002)

"One of those exceedingly rare films in which the talk alone is enough to keep us involved."

Terry Lawson

Splat

Thirteen Ghosts (2001)

"For a movie called Thirteen Ghosts, this movie is surprisingly soulless."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

This Christmas (2007)

"A family movie that holds few surprises but an abundance of hope and goodwill."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006)

"Although a couple of the film's conclusions are as arbitrary and questionable as decisions by the board, This Film Is Not Yet Rated should be an eye-opener."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

This Is England (2007)

"A hard-fisted punch of reality based on the filmmaker's experiences growing up in England's Midlands in 1983."

Terry Lawson

Tomato

Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000)

"Thomas and his movie truly stay on track."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005)

"It boasts genuinely and uniformly fine performances -- a credit to Jones the director and the actor, as well as his costars -- some stunning cinematography by the great Chris Menges and a uncompromising script by [Guillermo] Arriaga."

Terry Lawson

Tomato

Three Kings (1999)

"Imaginative and exciting."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Thumbsucker (2005)

Splat
2/4

Thunderbirds (2004)

"[The movie] dumps the puppets and replaces them with human actors only slightly less wooden."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

THX 1138: The Director's Cut (2004)

"One of those rare titles that has improved with age."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion (2003)

"Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion will make even the most apolitical viewers want to hoist their own Free Tibet banners."

John Monaghan

Splat
2/4

Till Human Voices Wake Us (2003)

"There's nothing really wrong with Till Human Voices Wake Us that some actual dramatic tension couldn't resolve."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005)

"There's a happy Halloween in store even for children who aren't allowed to trick or treat, and it's courtesy of Tim Burton's animated Corpse Bride."

Terry Lawson

Splat
1/4

The Time Machine (2002)

"The worst thing about this very bad movie is the opportunity squandered ..."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
4/4

Time Out (2002)

"Time Out is existential drama without any of the pretension associated with the term."

Terry Lawson

Tomato

Timecode (2000)

"It will be argued that Time Code is more of a techno-stunt than a dramatic experience, but the stories turn out to be surprisingly affecting."

Terry Lawson

Splat
1/4

Timeline (2003)

"A cross between Jurassic Park and those traveling Renaissance fairs where gnawing on turkey legs and peering at the padded bosoms of college kids pretending to be wenches is supposed to make us feel medieval."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

TMNT (2007)

"Completely pointless. Didn't three features in the early 1990s and countless cartoon incarnations take these crime-fighting critters as far as they could go?"

John Monaghan

Splat
2/4

Together (2003)

"It's disappointing to watch a filmmaker as gifted as Chen put his talents into the service of a story as blatantly sentimental, stereotypical and unoriginal as Together."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Tokyo Godfathers (2004)

"Full of charm, grittiness and a solid storyline, the movie deserves an audience far beyond diehard animation fans."

John Monaghan

Splat

Tomcats (2001)

"Tomcats is the first film to be produced by Revolution, the new company of former Disney Studios boss Joe Roth. If this is the revolution, start it without me."

Terry Lawson
