Taken (2009)
"A crackle-smart immersion in righteous retribution."

Tomato B
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)
"Gets great mileage out of its star and premise."
Tomato A-
Tarnation (2004)
"Here's hoping your kids' home movies never look like this."
Splat D
Team America: World Police (2004)
"It doesn't stand for anything beyond the ability to stand there and mock everything."
Thank You For Smoking (2006)
"One of those rare dark,funny films that actually stays true to itself through to the bitter end."
Splat B-
There Will Be Blood (2007)
"I hate the way the film forces us into its epic structure and purposefully fractured narrative as if the audience is a puppy having its little nose shoved in a puddle of its own making."
Tomato
Thirteen Days (2000)
"A stout, briskly paced, unabashedly pro-American account that brings us not just the events but the people behind them."
Splat
Thirteen Ghosts (2001)
"13 Ghosts never plays fair with the audience."
Rick Bentley
This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006)
"A scathing indictment of the MPAA."
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005)
"Burton revels in his own mad, inspired vision. It's as if he screws off the top of his head and lets us peek inside."
The Time Machine (2002)
"... a listless, plodding, mumble of a film that gets so bogged down in special effects that it never comes close to capturing the adventurous spirit of the classic H.G. Wells story."
Titan A.E. (2000)
"What we're left with is lots of pretension but little genuine tension."
To Be and To Have (2003)
"It isn't just an ode to teaching -- it's a lesson in growing up."
Tokyo Sonata (2009)
"The film in many ways is the bleakest indictment of contemporary Japanese culture I've seen. Yet it also functions as dark comedy, fierce character study and uplifting tale of redemption."
Tortilla Soup (2001)
"In the tradition of grand food films that capture the tangy jolt of a just-cut pepper, this genial family-relationships tale is easy on the eyes and downright taunting to the taste buds."
Town and Country (2001)
"Stilted, inaccessible, undernourished, surprisingly vulgar and curiously creepy."
Traffic (2000)
"The acting is crisp all around, and Douglas' war-weary heaviness speaks volumes."
Training Day (2001)
"Part of the appeal of Training Day is, simply, watching Washington be bad."
Travellers & Magicians (2005)
"With its spiritual underpinnings and scenic splendor, the film casts a distinctive top-of-the-world spell."
Splat C
Troy (2004)
"It's as much an adaptation of the Pottery Barn and Abercrombie & Fitch catalogs as Homer's lofty verse. "
