Rating Title Year Quote Author

Splat
2/4

Tadpole (2002)

"A low-budget affair, Tadpole was shot on digital video, and the images often look smeary and blurry, to the point of distraction. Then again, in a better movie, you might not have noticed."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato

The Tailor of Panama (2001)

"Overambition is a rarity in spy thrillers nowadays. If The Tailor of Panama doesn't quite gel, the attempt is still worth savoring."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3/4

Take My Eyes (2006)

"An uncommonly perceptive and balanced drama about a topic often treated in movies (especially thrillers) as a mere plot device."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3/4

Taken (2009)

"Taken is nonsense, but it's terrifically entertaining nonsense, especially in the midst of the January movie doldrums. It provides the reckless thrills that Quantum of Solace lacked."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat
1.5/4

Taking Lives (2004)

"The first nine minutes of Taking Lives are, in fact, compelling and good ... Sadly, the rest of Taking Lives is not worth paying for."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat
2/4

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)

"Hiring Tony Scott to direct The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 is like hiring Michael Bay to direct My Dinner With Andre: A colossal mismatch of director and material."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3/4

Taking Sides (2003)

"The film makes you take sides, and herein lies its attraction."

Marta Barber

Splat
2/4

Taking Woodstock (2009)

"Watching the film feels a lot like leafing through an album of someone else's vacation photos: Pleasant, but gets old fast."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3.5/4

Talk to Her (2002)

"As subversive as any of Almodóvar's early films, but in an infinitely more thoughtful and mature manner."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
2.5/4

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)

"'What does diablo mean?' 'It's like Spanish for fighting chicken.' If you cracked so much as a shell of a smile reading that, then run, don't walk, to see Talladega Nights, where you will get an entire year's worth of equally irresistible nonsense."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3.5/4

Tarnation (2004)

"Utterly absorbing and accessible."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato

The Taste of Others (2001)

"The characters prove to be engaging and their quite real human emotions are enough to carry it."

Cary Darling

Splat
1/4

Taxi (2004)

"[Fallon] doesn't so much act as show up, and his utter lack of personality generates a vacuum that the movie cannot overcome."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat

Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999)

"Teaching Mrs. Tingle is a spectacularly mediocre movie!"

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
2.5/4

Team America: World Police (2004)

"It may not tell you who you should vote for, but Team America: World Police conclusively proves everything is funnier when it's done by marionettes."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat
2/4

The Ten (2007)

"By flaunting its own stupidity, The Ten practically dares you not to laugh at it, like a stand-up comic who sells an unfunny joke through the ferocity of his delivery."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
2.5/4

Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006)

"Fast and funny, and you can't beat the songs."

Connie Ogle

Tomato
3/4

The Terminal (2004)

"The Terminal is so beautifully directed, so pleasurable to watch and so thoughtfully put together, it's a disappointment when you realize, halfway through, that the movie is going to fall way short of a masterpiece."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3/4

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

"If Rise of the Machines never feels as essential as the first two movies, it doesn't feel like a rip-off, either."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat
2/4

Terminator Salvation (2009)

"The intensity is just superficial, though: In terms of story, Terminator Salvation is also the most timid in the series. There's no invention in it, no sense of discovery. Only the impressively orchestrated action sequences feel fresh."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat
0/4

Testosterone (2003)

"105 grueling minutes of film noir-inflected nonsense."

Peter Debruge

Tomato
3/4

Tetro (2009)

Rene Rodriguez

Splat

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

"Just as humorless as the original, but it's also slicker, glossier and resoundingly artificial."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat
1/4

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)

"If watching people having their faces cut off, getting their legs amputated and having their throats tenderly slit is your idea of a horrific good time, you'll certainly get your money's worth here."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3/4

Thank You For Smoking (2006)

"Reitman spares no one in this enjoyably cynical, merciless comedy, which is often so funny, you don't have time to notice how utterly bleak it is, too."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3/4

The Counterfeiters (2008)

"It's impossible not to respond to The Counterfeiters and the haunting questions it raises."

Connie Ogle

Tomato
2.5/4

The Custodian (2006)

"The Custodian makes excellent use of cinematography, color and camera movement to convey the gradual restlessness brewing within Ruben."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
2.5/4

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)

"Even if you know the original by heart, the new Earth has a couple of surprises in store, although the message remains the same: Watch it, Man."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat
2/4

The Heart of the Earth (2007)

"A lavish, ambitious picture, with an international cast and the polish of an A-list Hollywood production, that often plays like a telenovela in period dress, only without the camp value."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato

The Polar Express (2004)

"The key to enjoying this unique experiment rests, fittingly, on whether you are willing to set aside your own skepticism and go along with the movie's well-meaning and unmistakably original spirit. If so, it can truly be an exhilarating ride."

Peter Debruge

Tomato
4/4

There Will Be Blood (2007)

"Anderson is attempting to harness the old-fashioned American Western epic with the probing psychology and intimacy of a modern-day character study. The fact that that character happens to be so repellent is one of the film's many strokes of genius."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat
1.5/4

The Thing About My Folks (2005)

"About as entertaining as the yearly family argument, without any of the holiday turkey to make it worthwhile."

Connie Ogle

Tomato
3/4

Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)

"It is a testament to how well the movie is made that even the most hardened viewer might find himself tearing up at moments -- and you won't have to hate yourself in the morning."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3/4

Thirteen (2003)

"A raw, disturbing look at a world adults would much rather not know about."

Connie Ogle

Tomato
3/4

Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (2002)

"Nothing fantastic or supernatural ever happens, but you can still feel cosmic forces at work behind the scenes, conspiring to repeatedly test the movie's characters, doling out reward and punishment in equal doses."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat

Thirteen Ghosts (2001)

"The set design of Thirteen Ghosts may have been expensive, but its thrills are cheap."

Charles Savage

Tomato
3/4

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005)

"[A] long, kooky, immensely absorbing picture, which forges the elegiac cruelty of a Cormac McCarthy novel with the two-fisted machismo of a Sam Peckinpah movie, and comes up with an altogether new brand of Western mythology."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato

Three Kings (1999)

"It is a straightforward celebration of heroism under duress, and it is impossible to resist."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3/4

Three of Hearts: A Postmodern Family (2005)

"Ends up uncovering some poignant truths about the nature of love, the pressures of commitment and the limits to the compromises we are willing to make for the people we care about."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3.5/4

Three Times (2006)

"The film is probably too slow, too silent and too long for most audiences. But look beyond the quietness, and you'll discover a three-gem jewel."

Marta Barber

Splat

Three to Tango (1999)

"Dismayingly predictable and rote."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3/4

Thumbsucker (2005)

"Mills, who hails from the world of music videos and TV commercials, has surrounded Pucci with a superlative group of actors, all of whom are in tune with his quiet, low-key approach to humor."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat
2/4

Thunderbirds (2004)

"A rudimentary Spy Kids knockoff."

Peter Debruge

Tomato
3.5/4

Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion (2003)

"It is pretty convincing in its argument that China has every intention of destroying the culture of Tibetans."

Marta Barber

Splat
2/4

The Tiger of Santa Julia (2002)

"Cinematography spoils El Tigre's fun."

Marta Barber

Splat
2/4

Till Human Voices Wake Us (2003)

"It's telling just how uninvolving Till Human Voices Wake Us is that by film's end, you'll just be relieved it's over."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat
2.5/4

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005)

"Corpse Bride suffers from the same problem that has plagued Burton's recent live-action films: for all its formidable razzle-dazzle, it doesn't engage the heart."

Rene Rodriguez

Splat
2/4

Time Changer (2002)

"Will give many ministers and Bible-study groups hours of material to discuss. But mainstream audiences will find little of interest in this film, which is often preachy and poorly acted."

Keith Cassidy

Splat
2/4

The Time Machine (2002)

"The Time Machine isn't so much an adaptation of H.G. Wells' seminal novel as it is an appropriation. The film borrows liberally from the book, but doesn't treat it with much respect or affection or even understanding."

Rene Rodriguez

Tomato
3/4

Time Out (2002)

"As bizarre as it is, Vincent's gradual estrangement from society is also easy to identify with, which makes Time Out especially compelling."

Rene Rodriguez
