Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       2/4      Tadpole (2002)      "No amount of hype will turn this murky pre-frog into anything resembling an indie prince." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Takeshis' (2005)      "An entirely useless artifact for anyone not already familiar with Kitano's previous eleven pictures." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Taking Care of Business (1990)      "A series lame jokes and clunky plot machinations that would strike as cynical were they not so obviously desperate." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Taking Lives (2004)      "A socio-political horror film trapped in the body of a game show hostess." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)      "the worst kind of dreck" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Taking Sides (2003)      "Exists in the over-written, claustrophobic confines of the Ronald Harwood stage play." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      A Tale Of Two Sisters (2003)      "That feeling of laden Victoriana oozes not just from the opulent settings, but from the sexual leviathans coiling and uncoiling in the subtext." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Taliesin Jones (2002)      "too many scenarios in which the hero might have an opportunity to triumphantly sermonize, and too few that allow us to wonder for ourselves if things will turn out okay." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)      "A celebration of the dysfunction of being an American--of the possibility of being simultaneously proud and mortified of ourselves." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Tape (2001)      "off-the-cuff and expertly executed, though bound by its source and its format to minor rewards and pocket epiphanies" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Target (1985)      "Laughing at this stuff isn't good for the soul." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Tarzan & Jane (2002)      "Just when things seem like they couldn't get any worse, a couple of songs by Phil Collins and Mandy Moore remind just how deep the bottom can be." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Te Amo: Made In Chile (2001)      "It's an endurance test that might pass the sniff test in terms of the insufferable lightness of being a teenager, but stinks to high heaven in terms of watchability." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Teacher's Pet (2004)      "If nothing else inventive, at the very least perverse, and at moments transcendently bizarre." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Team America: World Police (2004)      "The satirical sharpness that defines the duo's at-times incandescently brilliant "South Park" has been shunted aside in favour of vomit gags and screaming homophobia." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Tears of the Sun (2003)      "The awe that the heretofore desperate refugees display for our Yankee whirlybirds doesn't suggest citizenry hardened by years of modern Civil War, but a band of savages genuflecting before a Zippo." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Teenage Hooker Became Killing Machine in Daehakroh (2000)      "Its title also its plot description." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Teknolust (2002)      "Clumsy, no question, but perhaps understandably burdened by its sprawling ambition." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Temp (1993)      "The Temp manages to involve and entertain in a crafty B-movie way even if what it is is only a fraction of what it promises. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Ten (2003)      "A point made to distraction." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Terminal (2004)      "Chicken soup for the narcoleptic and the easily distracted." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)      "The pleasures of this text reside almost completely in the sensation that we're watching an extremely well-funded kid playing with toy cars and action figures in a toy city." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Terminator Salvation (2009)      "shooting guns at things that aren't harmed by guns... following which there will be cheap philosophizing and the promise of another sequel." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)      "A profoundly sensitive look at social prejudices and the toll said prejudices take on the human social organism." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)      "Most resembles not Tobe Hooper's 1974 masterpiece, but James Cameron's 1986 masterpiece, Aliens." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)      "Society is restored as before, but it's a society based on victims and victimizers. De Sade rewrites Darwin." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Thank You For Smoking (2006)      "Light on the contemporaneous insight, it is instead, like Inside Man, doing the you-Nietzsche/it- Abyss polka." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      That Championship Season (1982)      " It's hard to say that the picture is bad, just that it's dry as tinder without a spark to ignite it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)      "It's just like us to be arrogant enough to believe, like Marvell's coy mistress, that our cherry is the ripest for busting of the lot." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Polar Express (2004)      "It's hard to know how much of that intense martial creepiness is intended as satire, and how much of it is just what lies beneath." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Signal (2007)      "Plays like a trivia game for folks pleased to recognize a severed-head-in-a-vise gag from one of the most storied independent success stories of all time." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Then She Found Me (2008)      "It's like an animatronic reproduction of a Jewish mom relationship erected at the world's most racist amusement park." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      There Will Be Blood (2007)      "A Sergio Leone epic about the foundation of a specific aspect of the American character." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)      "Maudlin, mawkish, unintentionally hilarious, and utterly devoid of human emotion. The word I'm searching for, I guess, is "alien."" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (2002)      "A decided lack of spontaneity in its execution and a dearth of real poignancy in its epiphanies." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Thirteen Ghosts (2001)      "Lillard is surprisingly restrained (meaning, for Lillard, that we don't see his tongue), delivering his dialogue with heretofore unknown verve and wit." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006)      "Folks who care won't learn anything and folks who don't, can't." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005)      "Crash by way of Cormac McCarthy." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Three Fugitives (1989)      "Interesting now only as a better-forgotten relic of a time in which people actually paid full-ticket price to see Martin Short in a movie." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Thumbelina (1994)      "The film is for very young children and people in comas." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Thumbsucker (2005)      "There simply isn't much heart left in this pursuit, this punching of holes into the fa?e of planned communities and their plastic citizenry." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      THX 1138: The Director's Cut (2004)      "It's colorization in sheep's clothing--don't you be duped into thinking otherwise." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Tideland (2006)      "A diary of pain and a chronicle of the armour of mythology an imaginative mind expels to salve it away." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005)      "A melancholic, dulcet little ode to love and sacrifice." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Time (2007)      "An alien anthropologist identifying humans as insects in man-clothing." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Time Machine (2002)      "It isn't that The Time Machine is incoherent, it's that the film aspires after several rewrites to one day become incoherent." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Time of the Wolf (2003)      "It's a time travel film, in a sense--not into the future, but into the undifferentiated past." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      A Time to Kill (1996)      "Only a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman could make things worse--and lo and behold, speak of the devil and Old Scratch appears." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Timecrimes (2008)      "more tantalizing than satisfying" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      TMNT (2007)      "It doesn't need a review, it just needs a marquee so its audience will find it and get to the business of forgetting about it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
