Talkie Tuesday: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

"Cowabunga!"

Hello everyone!

I'm resurrecting an oldie (but a goldie!) for this week's movie post, because I became inspired after randomly catching the showing on television over the weekend. 

Since I don't watch nearly enough television, I figure it's natural I might have missed it.

But I went to visit a really good friend of mine and after we finished watching a hilarious talk show, we switched to this other channel and lo and behold! there was this movie that I had totally forgotten about until then.

And yeah, I've reviewed it before, but it's been years. I figured I could take another look at it and see whether or not my thoughts are any different than they were at the beginning.

Also, there can never be enough turtles in your life. Ever.

Figured out what I'll be talking about yet?

Cowabunga, everyone, make room for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

"Why aren't we going with the Turtles? 

When something bad happens, you want to be with the Turtles!"

Hello everyone!

Right about now, the upper part of the house is in complete shambles because my parents are renovating the master bedroom. At this moment alone, about a third of it is currently sitting in MY room (including but not limited to a funny winter hat that's eyeing me while I sleep) and I thank every deity above that I have my desk in the opposite corner by the window, otherwise I would so not be able to get to it.

But enough about my habitat woes.

Tuesdays are my movie days, but truth be told I've been a little bit on the slide when it comes to movies, mostly because for some reason our TV network decided that it's going to stream a whole boat load of amazing ones from years past.

This means that, around Saturday-ish when I usually watch a movie to review in my Tuesday blog, I watch stuff like Kingdom of Heaven or Pirates of the Caribbean.

I mean, I'm not complaining! I just have a hard time deciding what, specifically, I'm going to type about, then.

Which is how I got distracted by the last Power Rangers trailer, and remembered my old, old friends: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Out of the Shadows!

Cowabunga!

Er, hello everyone! Happy New Year! 

I hope you all said goodbye to 2014 properly and welcomed 2015 with a bang! I had a fairly slow New Year's Eve and quite enjoyed it after the last couple of years of always partying it up till dawn. So mostly it was about getting my batteries all stocked up on energy again so I can kick the year off with some more blog posts.

And to start it off, it would probably be a good idea to say that, no, I don't really meet and greet people with 'Cowabunga'. It's just the one thing I can actually, vividly remember from when I first watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (from now on TMNT, because my brain is trying to mess with me whenever I spell this!) back when it was still just a cartoon. I didn't watch it often, but I do remember them running around, following their rat-pack leader, and saving the day. Curiously enough I have no memory of April O'Neill ... but then I was a kid back then. And in honour of my kiddie memories, I decided to see what the 2014 movie remake was all about.
