[movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       6/10      The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)      "Scott has ratcheted back on nearly all of his bad habits." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       5/10      Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970)      "The strangest and most confused of the Dracula films up to that point, and the first of Hammer's vampire films where the bad elements seriously threaten to outnumber the good." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       7/10      Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)      "It preaches to the choir, but it preaches with overwhelming passion." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       6/10      The Ten (2007)      "The Ten is, while not "bad," nor "unfunny," surely not as good as it had ought to be." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       8/10      The Tenant (1976)      "Owing to the very same personal urgency that makes it a masterpiece, it is overwhelmingly solipsistic and ultimately alienating." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       4/10      Terminator Salvation (2009)      "None of the ginormous action sequence carry any real weight because the filmmakers have made absolutely no effort to convince us to care about what's happening." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       7/10      Tetro (2009)      "Maddening and fascinating in a way that only a true artist could possibly manage, and piddling questions like whether or not the film "works" are completely beside the point." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       7/10      The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)      "Even a paint-by-numbers slasher is a novelty in this decade." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       10/10      The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)      "It's a masterpiece, pure and simple..a smart young director summing up the basest instincts of his species." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       3/10      The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)      "There is absolutely nothing to distract us from the sheer misery of watching oblivious clowns cracking awful jokes." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       4/10      The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)      "A rote latter-day slasher film with barely anything worth recommending." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       1/10      The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994)      "Not just a complete failure as a sequel, it's one of the five or ten worst films from the whole of the 1990s." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       4/10      The Clone Wars (2008)      "Better than Episode I and Episode II. True, many of the same flaws are present - awful dialogue, contrived narrative - but at least The Clone Wars is much shorter." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       7/10      The Counterfeiters (2008)      "The worst you could say is that it's memorably diverting, but as worsts go, that's a pretty damning indictment of a Holocaust movie." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       3/10      The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)      "Just as much a remake of Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space. Which is an even more appropriate comparison when we observe that this film and Plan 9, unlike the original, are both awful." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       9/10      The End of Summer (1961)      "The arc of the film follows the arc of Ozu's career, or really the arc of life itself." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       7/10      The Signal (2007)      "It's a pity that the film isn't a little bit better, to really do the concept justice. It's not a bad movie...but it's not at all good in the ways that you'd hope." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       5/10      The Tiger's Tail (2006)      "If there's anything about the movie that really rises above the mediocre, it's Gleeson's fantastic performance." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       4/10      Then She Found Me (2008)      "A grim, grey little affair of people who aren't interesting failing to achieve catharsis in the banal, depressing problems of their lives." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       10/10      There Will Be Blood (2007)      "An overwhelming experience...simple even as it is devastating." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       10/10      Thief (1981)      "Not just the best film of [Michael Mann's] career, but one of the best American films of the whole of the 1980s." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       7/10      The Thief of Bagdad (1924)      "The film has a joyful sort of grandeur that's basically dead in the modern cinema." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       10/10      Thieves Like Us (1974)      "A sleepy film about a motley collection of dim, but well-meaning failures. A perfect Altman film, in other words." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       9/10      Thieves' Highway (1949)      "A savage attack on American comfort." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       9/10      This Is England (2007)      "This Is England is a movie like a punch to the solar plexus." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       8/10      The Three Caballeros (1945)      "By far the strangest feature-length movie in the history of the Walt Disney Company, with virtually every new minute bringing something more insanely creative than the last." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       9/10      The Tiger of Eschnapur (1956)      "What elevates the films to the status of art-in-genre-clothing, is Lang's taste for lurid color and perfect compositions." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       5/10      Timecrimes (2008)      "You watch it, figure out how it works, and then never have to interact with it ever again." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       8/10      The Tingler (1959)      "How any red-blooded American could hear 'Vincent Price's acid trip,' and not fall over themselves rushing to find a copy of the movie is beyond my comprehension." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       6/10      TMNT (2007)      "It's never, ever a good thing when the first trouble sign of a bad story comes in the opening scene." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       9/10      Tokyo Drifter (1966)      "Distills the aesthetic of the 1960s into one feature-length blast." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       7/10      Tokyo Sonata (2009)      "It is not a bad movie at all, nor is it graceful." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       9/10      Tom Jones (1963)      "A classic not just of literary adaptation, but of the last truly adventurous era in British and European filmmaking." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       8/10      Tombs Of The Blind Dead (1971)      "While nearly all of the Italian zombie films were one shade of awful or another, Tombs is a good film, even a great one: one of the highlights of 1970s Spanish cinema and among the very best examples of its oft-indefensible genre." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       4/10      Towelhead (2008)      "Towelhead is too eager to shock us, and it's therefore only stupidly offensive instead of cutting and insightful." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       10/10      Toy Story (1995)      "Time has been kind to it, and future years I imagine will still be kind; a classic is forever." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       9/10      Toy Story 2 (1999)      "Not content to simply re-create the success of its predecessor, the sequel... reveal[s] itself to be a surprisingly philosophical work." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       4/10      Traitor (2008)      "Appallingly cynical...desires to appeal to the biggest possible audience while offending nobody. Which means, inevitably, that it has something to offend everybody." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       3/10      Transformers (2007)      "A sensory attack that drives us into tiny little fetal balls on the ground, whimpering that we must have liked it because the car effects looked cool." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       1/10      Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)      "Shrieking and ugly and tedious and soft-headed, not even giving the thin comfort of being hilariously bad." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       5/10      Transporter 3 (2008)      "Every bit as dumb as its predecessors, but - importantly - it is not nearly so much fun." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       9/10      Tropic Thunder (2008)      "One of the nastiest American comedies in what feels like decades, taking a well-trod subject - how movies are made - and attacking with a savage gusto that calls to mind Sunset Blvd. and The Player ." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       8/10      Tuya's Marriage (2008)      "What keeps the film from out-and-out miserabilism is a deadpan comic tone, a subtly brilliant command of cinematic language, and the extraordinarily gifted actress at its center." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       7/10      The TV Set (2007)      "Not a backstage film for the ages, but it manages to be a bit more useful than the vast bulk of its stablemates." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       4/10      Twilight (2008)      "The film adaptation of Twilight isn't nearly as bad in its own medium as the source material was, though it's still quite a chore to endure." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       3/10      The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)      "Boring, but I'll say this about New Moon: it appears to have been made by people more familiar with the craft of cinema than Twilight was." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       8/10      Two Friends (1986)      "Sincere without being cloying, moving without being manipulative. Though often relegated to minor status in Campion's filmography, this is a striking and powerful debut feature." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy       6/10      Two Lovers (2009)      "[Pheonix] never simply plays the role, he Acts it out... and the mechanics of his Acting are always very present for all the world to see." [movie review]      Antagony & Ecstasy
