(C) Takers

Genre:
MPAA Rating: PG-13     Audience: High School
Why make a movie with so many first-rate performers and give central roles to people who cannot act and have no star power on screen? For the answer, read the credits. Rap star T.I. and R&B star ...

(C) Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Genre: Sports
MPAA Rating: PG-13     Audience: High School
When we've seen Will Ferrell run around naked, how much fun is it to see him run around in his underpants?

The disappointment of this movie is not that we don't see enough of Will Ferrell. ...

(C) Tears of the Sun

Genre:
MPAA Rating:     Audience: Mature High Schooler
This movie feels like a script written for John Wayne that someone finally got around to filming 40 years later without any sense that times have changed. There are some good action sequences, but ...

(C) Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny

Genre: Musical
MPAA Rating: R     Audience: Mature High Schooler
If you're going to make an unapologetic slob/druggy/rock and roll comedy it has to be snark-free, without a hint of irony. Self-deprecation is welcome, but winking at the audience spoils the effec...

(C) Thunderstruck

Genre: Stories About Kids
MPAA Rating: PG     Audience: Kindergarten - 3rd Grade
This "Freaky Friday" with basketball keeps throwing airballs. » Read Review Posted on Thursday August 23, 2012

(C) The Time Traveler's Wife

Genre: Romance
MPAA Rating: PG-13     Audience: High School

(C) Timeline

Genre:
MPAA Rating:     Audience: Middle School
Hollywood sometimes seems to operate under some unnamed Law of Plots, where certain themes and stories must be recycled on a schedule so predictable that it makes the daily orbit of the Earth aroun...

(C) TMNT

Genre:
MPAA Rating: PG     Audience: Kindergarten - 3rd Grade
They're teenagers, they're mutants, they're ninjas, and they're turtles.

Up from the sewers by way of some handy toxic waste, those Renaissance-named, three-fingered, ninja-fighting, pizza-e...

(C) Torque

Genre:
MPAA Rating:     Audience: Mature High Schooler
Ford (Martin Henderson) comes back to town with a score to settle and a woman to win back, just like a cowboy in an old western. Only in this movie, instead of horses, there are motorcycles, very ...

(C) The Tourist

Genre: Thriller
MPAA Rating: PG-13     Audience: Middle School
Behind this forgettable trifle are some very talented people, all punching below their weight when they're not just calling it in. The screenplay is by Julian Fellowes ("Gosford Park"), Christophe...

(C) Tristan + Isolde

Genre: Romance
MPAA Rating: PG-13     Audience: Middle School
Tristan and Isolde have suffered enough. This movie feels like overkill.

Oh, their legend will survive. But this classic comics-style perfume commercial of a re-telling will not.
