Tomato 4/5 |
Take the Lead (2006) |
"The filmmakers who dreamed up Take the Lead probably got a bonus for coming up with such a marketable concept. Mix a little Dangerous Minds with a bit of Save the Last Dance and, voila, a flick with across-the-board appeal." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 3/5 |
Taken (2009) |
"Taken is movie junk food -- fun while it lasts, but not much more. Nothing wrong with that kind of snack every now and then. You just won't want a steady diet of it." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 2/5 |
Taking Lives (2004) |
"Caruso constantly takes the movie down blind alleys while emptying his always-handy crime-movie handbook of every artificial plot device." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) |
"There's fun to be had in Pelham, at least for a while, but nothing more than that." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) |
"The original version of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three was made 35 years ago, yet it retains a quality of cool that will remain long after people have forgotten the current version." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Taking Sides (2003) |
"Brilliantly acted and written, Taking Sides overcomes any shortcoming of its transition from stage to screen." |
Richard Nilsen |
Splat 3/5 |
Taking Woodstock (2009) |
"It is Woodstock light, which is one thing. It is also Ang Lee light, which is another thing altogether and far less satisfying." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Tale of Despereaux (2008) |
"The Tale of Despereaux gathers a host of vocal talent for a relatively complicated story of heroism and loyalty, requiring that its young audience pay attention and is all the more rewarding for it (for kids and grown-ups)." |

Tomato 5/5 |
Talk to Her (2002) |
"It is a singularly impressive work, able to generate laughs one moment and tears the next." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Talk to Me (2007) |
"Don Cheadle has elevated yet another film: Talk to Me is better than it intends to be. But thank Ejiofor as well." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 3/5 |
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |
"Whether the engine on Talladega Nights is humming or sputtering, Ferrell stays gamely behind the wheel." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Tarnation (2004) |
"A soul-baring scrapbook of a film, its audacity surpassed only by its tragedy." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato |
Tarzan (1999) |
"The movie itself is filled with more fun than any Tarzan film in decades." |
Bob Fenster |
Splat 1/5 |
Taxi (2004) |
"I wouldn't call Taxi over the top. More like over the edge." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Taxi to the Dark Side (2008) |
"Taxi to the Dark Side is a stunning indictment of torture as policy, a brilliant documentary whose arguments are so well-supported and reasonably made that you can't ignore them." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 2/5 |
Teacher's Pet (2004) |
"Will leave kids bored and parents scratching their heads." |
Kathy Cano Murillo |
Tomato 4/5 |
Team America: World Police (2004) |
"Given the content of this movie, I can't officially recommend it to anyone. But go anyway." |
Bill Muller |
Splat |
Tears of the Sun (2003) |
"Tears of the Sun may make you weep, but not for joy." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Tell No One (2008) |
"Tell No One is a French action thriller and murder mystery that doesn't cheat." |
Richard Nilsen |
Splat 1/5 |
The Ten (2007) |
"Those worried about incurring God's wrath by seeing The Ten, don't concern yourselves -- by watching the film, you've suffered enough." |
Scott Craven |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Ten 'til Noon (2005) |
"Perhaps Ten 'til Noon is not exactly Citizen Kane, and perhaps all of the puzzle pieces never add up to anything but an engaging hour in the theater, but watching all the bits come together keeps you awake for the length of the film." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Ten Canoes (2007) |
"Gulpilil is the canny, subtle and funny narrator of 10 Canoes, a film of unutterable beauty, hypnotic fascination and universal humanity." |
Richard Nilsen |
Splat 1/5 |
Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006) |
"Jack Black's constant mugging and eyebrow wriggling reaches an obnoxious new low in the awkwardly titled Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny. He is brash and loud, as his pupils bounce around their sockets like pinballs." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat 3/5 |
The Terminal (2004) |
"Everything about this movie feels forced." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) |
"He said he'd be back and he is, with a bang, in another sequel that pays tribute to the first two films while delivering enough dazzling action sequences and droll wit to satisfy even the most demanding fans." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3/5 |
Terminator Salvation (2009) |
"Director McG proves perfectly adept at blowing things up in interesting ways, but there's not so much acting here as there is yelling at different volumes." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 2/5 |
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) |
"This bloody, exploitative mess is the cinematic equivalent of a dumpster fire -- stinky but insignificant." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 2/5 |
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) |
"Gross and sadistic but never scary." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 4/5 |
Thank You For Smoking (2006) |
"It's a lot of fun." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Cats of Mirikitani (2006) |
"By paying him attention and making this portrait, [director Hattendorf] makes us see Jimmy Mirikitani as a three-dimensional person and not a stereotype of homelessness. You leave the film glad to have met him." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Clone Wars (2008) |
"If you're willing to regress to the mental age of 12 for a couple of hours, it's an amusing ride." |
Kerry Lengel |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Counterfeiters (2008) |
"The film does shed light an another facet of Nazi history, and it does it with an attention to the complexity of human nature that makes it worthy of its Oscar win." |
Kerry Lengel |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) |
"Better to just sit back and enjoy The Day the Earth Stood Still for what it is: a fair amount of fun." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Polar Express (2004) |
"It is a cold, distant and failed experiment, with a molasses-mired plotline and an obvious moral forced upon us like a mug of bad eggnog." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 5/5 |
There Will Be Blood (2007) |
"There Will Be Blood is a masterpiece; Daniel Day-Lewis' performance as a ruthless oilman is without flaw." |

They (2002) |
"It's certainly entertaining enough and made with great style, but the whole thing feels slightly undercooked." |

The Thin Red Line (1998) |
"Although Malick hasn't made a movie in two decades, he hasn't lost his touch for eye-catching vistas and the poetics of conflict." |
Bob Fenster |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Thing About My Folks (2005) |
"If you leave The Thing About My Folks thinking about your own folks, consider the movie a success." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Thirteen (2003) |
"Although it borders on exploitation in several places, Thirteen packs an emotional wallop." |

This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006) |
"The same story in print would move more fleetly and makes its points more adroitly." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 4/5 |
This Old Cub (2004) |
"More tribute than documentary, but the film's subject, former Chicago Cubs third baseman Ron Santo, has earned the adulation." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 1/5 |
Thr3e (2007) |
"Rent Se7en for an authentically scary thriller with religious undertones." |

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) |
