James Kendrick |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Taking Lives (2004) |
"a flat, derivative psycho-thriller that suffers badly from having no chemistry between its two leads" |
James Kendrick |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) |
"Because of Scott's reliably indiscriminant overdirection, the film only works in fits and starts" |
James Kendrick |
Splat 2/4 |
Taking Woodstock (2009) |
"saddled with side stories that are meant to put specific faces on the issues of the time, but feel meandering and unfocused" |

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) |
"A film Hitchcock would have been proud to make, which is as strong a compliment as one can give to Mingella's efforts in this uniformly first-rate, darkly chilling thriller." |

Talk to Her (2002) |

Tell No One (2008) |
"An absorbing thriller, one that works its narrative complications over a genuinely moving emotional foundation and is spiked with just enough dark humor to keep it from becoming overly serious." |
James Kendrick |
Splat 2/4 |
The Ten Commandments (1956) |
"Those who love it and find it spiritually moving truly, deeply love it, while everyone else would think it just plain vulgar if it weren’t so delightfully kitschy" |

Tomato 3/5 |
Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006) |
"The narrative, not surprisingly, is really just an excuse to string together a series of comic and musical setpieces, some of which work better than others." |
