"T"
These are the movies that begin with the letter "T".
TARZAN (1999)
Rating: ****
"Yet another instant classic Disney film!"
TARZAN & JANE (2002)
Rating: **
"A very different sequel, let me tell you."
TEARS OF THE SUN (2003)
Rating: **
"Bruce Willis feels terribly restrained in this humdrum of a movie, which is enough to make me shed some tears of my own."
TEEN WOLF (1985)
Rating: *1/2
"I don't really care about an arrogant jerk becoming a werewolf. Unless it's actually funny."
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (1990)
Rating: ****
"A cause for shellebration. One of the best comic book film ever made."
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES II: THE SECRET OF THE OOZE (1991)
Rating: ***
"Delightfully silly and fun."
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES III (1993)
Rating: ***
"Completely touching and heartfelt, this has a powerful emotional aspect missing from the second installment."
TERMINATOR, THE (1984)
Rating: ***1/2
"A terrifying and intense foray into a fearsome future."
TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY (1991)
Rating: ****
"The word 'spectacle' was created with this film in mind."
TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES (2003)
Rating: ***
"Though it does imitate certain elements from its predecessors, it is a refreshing blast back into the Terminator universe nonetheless."
THANKSGIVING FAMILY REUNION (2003)
Rating: *
"Reunited, and it feels so bad. A National Lampoon farce that is every bit the turkey the family eats for dinner. Only a delightfully game performance from Bryan Cranston merits this awful TV flick even a partial viewing."
THELMA & LOUISE (1991)
Rating: ***1/2
"Susan & Geena are great as Thelma & Louise."
THIRTEEN (2003)
Rating: ***
"Not as disturbing as I hoped, but this is still a brutally realistic slice of the life of a modern teen on the wrong side of the tracks (to put it lightly). Though lead actress Evan Rachel Wood is fine, it's Holly Hunter and co-writer Nikki Reed who shine here, as well as co-writer Catherine Hardwicke's direction. The last film I can recall that was so visually stimulating is Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers. Recommended, though not for the easily upset."
THIR13EN GHOSTS (2001)
Rating: *
"An example of how not to make a horror movie. The special effects are very nice, but the rest is lackluster: Mediocre to bad acting, a mostly incomprehenisble storyline (were the writers purposely trying to confuse us?), and kills that are incredibly gruesome but not scary in the slighest. I now have triskaidekaphobia."
39 STEPS, THE (1935)
Rating: ***1/2
"Before Alfred Hitchcock made a large cultural impact, he made many films, and this excellent spy thriller happens to be one of them. Setting the style and tone of many of his later movies, The 39 Steps is an entertaining and exciting tangled web of conspiracies and international secrets. The likable lead character is portrayed greatly by Robert Donat."
THIS ISLAND EARTH (1955)
Rating: *
"Hilarious. And what's great is that it's all unintentional."
THOUSAND ACRES, A (1997)
Rating: *1/2
"Strictly one-dimensional characters live in a strictly one-dimensional world in this plodding drama with decidedly average performances. Warning: Extreme hamminess."
THREE MEN AND A BABY (1987)
Rating: ***
"Delightful and funny. And, no, that ghost-of-a-boy-who-died-onset crap isn't true."
3000 MILES TO GRACELAND (2001)
Rating: **
"Very weird."
THROW MOMMA FROM THE TRAIN (1987)
Rating: **1/2
"Funny and worth watching, yet average upon further inspection."
TIMECOP (1994)
Rating: **1/2
"Interesting, yet typically cliched."
TIN CUP (1996)
Rating: ***
"Just when you think that this golf comedy is suffering from too many cliches, it'll come back and knock that ball of fear away, proving that it most definitely can be fresh, funny, and exciting."
TITANIC (1997)
Rating: *
"This is what happens when a strictly action director (James Cameron, in this case) leaves his tried-and-true genre and tries to explore something with depth: It sinks. Too bad America never realized it."
TIME SHIFTERS, THE (1999)
Rating: **1/2
"As far as made-for-cable sci-fi movies go, you can get a lost worse than this."
TITAN A.E. (2000)
Rating: **
"Joss Whedon is great on the small screen (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), but with the exception of Alien: Resurrection, he sucks on the big screen."
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (1962)
Rating: ****
"Gregory Peck shines like a sunbeam in this great film, which starts as a nice smalltown family drama, and then suddenly erupts into a magnificent courtroom battle that will have you enthralled and entertained. A slicked-back sense of ease fills every frame, and the film is all the better for it."
TOOTSIE (1981)
Rating: ***1/2
"One funny movie, toots."
TORA! TORA! TORA! (1970)
Rating: **1/2
"It drags on and on and on, feeling more like a documentary of the Pearl Harbor tragedy than an actual film. Jerry Goldsmith's score is the highlight of the movie."
TOY STORY (1995)
Rating: ****
"A wonderful, groundbreaking achievement."
TOY STORY 2 (1999)
Rating: ****
"Even funnier and heartwarming than the original was."
TRADING PLACES (1983)
Rating: ***
"Another great pairing-up of hilarious comedians!"
TRAINING DAY (2001)
Rating: **
"Denzel Washington didn't deserve that Oscar. Now, Ethan Hawke, on the other hand..."
TRANSPORTER, THE (2002)
Rating: *
"A meaningless action flick chock full of illogical writing, bad acting, and unimpressive stunts."
TREASURE PLANET (2002)
Rating: ***
"A surprisingly somewhat violent, non-musical Disney film that proves to be an enjoyable update of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island novel. A real treasure."
TREMORS (1990)
Rating: ****
"Horrifying monsters and a funny down-home feel mix well to shake you up."
TREMORS 2: AFTERSHOCKS (1996)
Rating: ***
"Fun and hilarious, though without Kevin Bacon..."
TREMORS 3: BACK TO PERFECTION (2001)
Rating: ***
"Michael Gross finally gets the lead role in a Tremors film, and he takes it into an hilarious direction. It's not as good as the first two, but it's still more cheesy, funny, '50s-esque horror movie fun."
TREMORS 4: THE LEGEND BEGINS (2004)
Rating: ***
"Like the From Dusk Till Dawn series, Tremors has departed its regular characters for a switch back to the Old West in the 1800s. Though it is not as fun as the first three, The Legend Begins is a good film in its own right; being set in the 1800s, it gets to set up future events and joke around about the current characters. The Graboids are not very scary, but the goofy fun on display here is inescapable."
TRUE LIES (1994)
Rating: ***1/2
"This, my friends, is The Movie That Never Ends."
TRUE ROMANCE (1993)
Rating: ***
"Quentin Tarantino's romantically offbeat screenplay is done justice by director Tony Scott and a fine cast (especially Brad Pitt as an hilarious stoner), but it still feels weird experiencing Tarantino's writing in hands other than his own, as this is my first time doing so. Still a fine movie, though just the slightest bit of a disappointment."
TRUMAN SHOW, THE (1998)
Rating: ****
"The best film Jim Carrey has ever done. Period."
TUCK EVERLASTING (1980)
Rating: **1/2
"It's good, don't get me wrong, but at times, it loses sight of what made the book so wonderful."
TUCK EVERLASTING (2002)
Rating: ***
"Now, this is the kind of Tuck Everlasting that we need. A bright Hollywood-type retelling of Natalie Babbit's that sports strong performances and a rather above-average screenplay."
TURBO: A POWER RANGERS MOVIE (1997)
Rating: *
"Stupid, illogical, and cheesy. This might be halfway to being barely decent if it were a Japanese monster flick."
28 DAYS (2000)
Rating: **1/2
"Depressing and odd, yet subsequently funny. Andy Dick...man, that dude is messed up."
TWINS (1988)
Rating: **
"So unbelievable it's not funny. And I mean that literally."
12 ANGRY MEN (1957)
Rating: ****
"Truly entertaining and powerful, this sure won't make you angry."
TWO WEEKS NOTICE (2002)
Rating: **1/2
"Two words: Bobcat pretzel."
