Going back to the Sewers - TMNT Reboot Review

June 05, 2017 23:00 - 36 minutes - 32.2 MB

Going back to the Sewers - TMNT Reboot Review I grew up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That's right, I spelled that out because in my day that is how you said it. When the new TMNT movie came out, I was disheartened. It was another childhood dream going to mainstream and destroying the memories I had of it growing up. For this reason, I put off seeing the new film and put it to the side. Now with a sequel due for release, I felt it was time to take the plunge and go back to the sewer...

Spectre - Bringing back Bond in style

May 08, 2017 23:00 - 46 minutes - 41.9 MB

Spectre - Bringing back Bond in style I have been a Bond fan for a long time. Everyone has their own favorite one, and I was no different (Sean Connery was the original, but Pierce Brosnan picked up that torch quite well.) However, with the introduction of Daniel Craig, I was less then impressed at his portrayal of Bond. Granted, Brosnan had left some rather odd shoes to fill storywise, but there was a discord in the harmony of the traditional character that did not set will with me. I manag...
