Tourist Trap Sometimes, when an older actor with a little bit of status through either movies or TV start getting on in years, they decide to set aside some of their prior reservations about certain standards which they had held regarding the types of roles that they would agree to, partially out of a desire […]
Tower Heist The trajectory of the career of one Eddie Murphy has been an intriguing yet sad one. Bursting onto the screen in 1982 with 48 Hrs, Murphy quickly and definitively made himself into a cinema comedy legend while only in his early 20s, creating a streak throughout the 1980s that was as indelible as […]
Toxic Avenger The realm of low budget, exploitation cinema might also be the most hit or miss of its kind in the entire artistic landscape. While some revel in the bad Ed Wood style of filmmaking, amateur hour acting, and sloppy as hell production values, most people have little use for these types of films […]
Toys For quite a number of years, Robin Williams was the reigning “manchild” in Hollywood movies, as many of his performances involved him exuberantly acting like a little kid, up to and including his performance as Peter Pan.

Tromeo And Juliet The minions at Troma Films and their fearless leader (Lloyd Kaufman) spent years and years trying to perfect the art of the trashy, low budget scum movie using their requisite formula (sex, nudity, foul language, and lots and lots of gore) in order to make films that would if not change the […]
TRON: Legacy The original TRON was quite the cinematic anomaly when released back in 1982, what with its then state of the art computerized FX setting it apart from almost everything else back then (along with Jeff Bridges in his leading man movie star prime), which led many to misunderstand and underrate it in its […]
