Review of Terror Train (1980) by Vinnie B — 07 Apr 2006
[size=2]I'm beginning the rather lengthy task of entering into the database every film I have seen, at least those I have a decent memory of. Some may have the briefest of reviews while many will just have a number. Those films that I consider personal favorites and/or those that have some historical signficance I will add later when I have time for more lengthy reviews.
[b]Terror Train[/b], directed by Roger Spottiswoode, is a early 80's horror/slasher film set on a moving train. Stars Jaime Lee Curtis, Ben Johnson and David Copperfield.
[b]The Toy[/b], directed by Richard Donner, stars Richard Pryor as a struggling journalist. Jackie Gleason is a rich businessman with a bratty son. Gleason promises his son he can have anything in the store, and he wants Pryor, so Pryor becomes Gleasons' son's toy for a week. It's a woeful comedy.
[b]Tapeheads[/b], directed by Bill Fishman, stars John Cusack and Tim Robbins as a pair of security guards who start a video production company. This comedy was aimed at the MTV generation, and mostly misses the mark.
[b]Tequila Sunrise[/b], directed by Robert Towne, is a highly stylized crime drama involving a romantic triangle. Michelle Pfeiffer is the center of attention for Mel Gibson and Kurt Russell, two friends who are now on opposite sides of the law.
[b]Teachers[/b], directed by Arthur Hiller, is an unsuccessful satire of life in High School, for teachers and students. The film fails despite a fine cast that includes Nick Nolte, JoBeth Williams, Judd Hirsch, Lee Grant, Ralph Macchio, and Crispin Glover.
