Taboo (2000) |
"A self-serious cheese-fest ... utterly worthless as an actual film, but quite entertaining as an object of derision." |

Take My Eyes (2006) |
"There's no melodrama anywhere in the film, only drama, with every single moment superbly acted and startlingly believable." |
Eric D. Snider |

Take the Lead (2006) |
"Banderas is so charming he almost makes the old claptrap work. But even his powers are useless against the, how you say, clichés." |

Taking Lives (2004) |
"It all culminates in a final showdown so ludicrous that if I explained it to you in detail, you would laugh and call me a liar." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Taking Woodstock (2009) |
"Demitri Martin and the movie are perfect for each other, both of them agreeable and inoffensive, likable and sort of funny but not very substantive." |
Eric D. Snider |

The Tale of Despereaux (2008) |
"It takes a long time to find its way; even once it's on track, it has a hard time juggling the shifting story lines and characters." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A |
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) |
"It's an eerily affecting film that reminds us that everyone has wanted to be someone else at some point in their lives." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
Talk to Her (2002) |
"A rumination on love that becomes more twisted as it goes." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Talk to Me (2007) |
"It starts out breathlessly funny, fast-paced, and energetic before ultimately settling in to a standard biopic formula that's not nearly as compelling." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |
"So many gleeful, wantonly absurd moments, more than enough to make it one of the best comedies of the summer." |

Tarnation (2004) |
"A haunting, riveting film that's as self-serving as it is revelatory. It's movie-making as therapy, and I hope it worked." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A- |
Tarzan (1999) |
"A pleasure to watch, full of excitement and fun, and not over-heavy on the sentiment." |

Taxi (2004) |
"So Jimmy Fallon leaves 'Saturday Night Live' and immediately starts making bad movies. And the circle of life continues.

Teacher's Pet (2004) |
"Delightful, giggle-inducing movie that will amuse kids with its quirky drawing style and outlandish action, while entertaining their parents with fast-paced, clever dialogue." |

Team America: World Police (2004) |
"When a marionette has sex or vomits, you are watching comedy gold, my friends." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C |
Tears of the Sun (2003) |
"If you have accepted that there are few new stories in Hollywood, or even old stories being told in new ways, then you have accepted the mediocrity that awaits you in this grim, inconsequential action drama." |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Movie (1990) |
"Let us not contemplate the sorts of lustful images that must run through the mind of a hormonal teen-age turtle." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Teeth (2008) |
"A spoof of B-movie monster flicks, a satire of modern-day puritan ethics, and a tongue-in-cheek female-empowerment story." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat D |
Teknolust (2002) |
"The film has a familiar plot, but with one significant difference. Unlike most movies about twins and lookalikes, this one's very, very boring." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Tell No One (2008) |
"It's a potboiler -- not groundbreaking or brilliant, but solidly entertaining." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Tell Them Who You Are (2005) |
"Not just a behind-the-scenes history chapter but an insightful father-son comedy-drama." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
The Ten (2007) |
"The comedy itself is hit or miss -- mostly hit for me, but humor is incredibly subjective, and this style of humor is particularly prone to the 'either you like it or you don't' effect." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006) |
"It's a one-joke movie -- sort of how Tenacious D is a one-joke band -- but it's a joke that can be pretty funny sometimes." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
The Terminal (2004) |
"Takes you on such a funny, good-natured ride that you forgive its destination being so ordinary and disappointing." |
Eric D. Snider |

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) |
"It delivers as a knock-’em-down powerhouse popcorn flick, and though it may be nothing new, it’s certainly an exciting incarnation of something old." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C |
Terminator Salvation (2009) |
"Suffers from pedestrian dialogue and a surfeit of bad plot devices ranging from the merely too-convenient to the laugh-out-loud preposterous." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C |
Testosterone (2003) |
"The film’s major objective appears to be showing cute men doing suggestive things. But if that’s your thing, why not just look at pictures? Why ruin it with a story?" |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Tetro (2009) |
"Coppola has made something personal and intimate that, while not brilliant, sticks to the grand, operatic themes that made him famous." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) |
"Bloody isn't the same thing as scary. It's got the atmosphere and the tone to a T. Lay off the abuse, and you've got yourself a movie." |

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) |
"It's wearisome and dull, offering plenty of gore but no brains to back it up." |

Texas Rangers (2001) |
"It won't win any prizes, but for fans of old-time Westerns, it may be a pleasant-enough diversion." |

Thank You For Smoking (2006) |
"A straight-faced dark satire.... Confident, razor-sharp comedy." |

The Clone Wars (2008) |
"Remember how people talked about the Star Wars prequels like they were the worst movies ever made, when really, come on, they weren't THAT bad? The Clone Wars actually IS that bad." |

The Counterfeiters (2008) |
"It does peer deeper into the complicated moral quandaries experienced by Hitler's victims than most films on this topic do." |

Splat C- |
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) |
"The one thing Hollywood can usually be counted on to do when remaking old films, especially when dumbing them down, is to boost their action quotient, and these guys have failed to do even that." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C- |
The Polar Express (2004) |
"The stilted animation can't keep up with Hanks' effervescence. ... Besides, all the vivacity in the world can't help a movie that has no story." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A- |
The Signal (2007) |
"You don't often see horror movies as scary, nor comedies as funny, as The Signal.... The execution of the premise is wholly fresh and original." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
Them (2007) |
"Not a classic, but as a one-time theatrical experience it should scare the pee out of anyone." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Then She Found Me (2008) |
"Addresses thinky topics like religious faith, motherhood, and adoption, always intelligently and maturely." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A- |
There Will Be Blood (2007) |
"It's a refreshing change to see Daniel Day-Lewis get wild and woolly as Plainview, whose fearsomeness and villainy are electrifying." |
Eric D. Snider |

They (2002) |
"There is very little dread or apprehension, and though I like the creepy ideas, they are not executed with anything more than perfunctory skill." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A- |
The Thing About My Folks (2005) |
"Takes Reiser's good screenplay, adds a veteran actor who nails his performance, and comes up with a perfectly charming comedy." |
Eric D. Snider |

The Thing Called Love (1993) |
"It's good enough to watch, but not good enough to re-watch." |
Eric D. Snider |

Things We Lost in the Fire (2007) |
"Finds its substance in the personalities and relationships of the characters -- so much substance that a conventional 'story' isn't even needed." |

Thirst (2009) |
"Though brimming with crisp, stylish coolness and some unsettling images, it doesn't have much of an emotional center." |
