“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” it’s Just for Kids (Film Review)

  The newest reboot of a franchise Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is just for kids.  Dumbing down the story to work on a level of the current cartoon series on Nickelodeon, the characters, although on the dark side, are as goofy and silly as their cable TV counterparts.  Working on two levels, adults may enjoy […]

“Need for Speed” an Exciting Transfer to Blu-ray (Video Review)

  Hot cars, hot women and hotheads cut loose in Need for Speed an action packed film that will make your head spin. It’s a little of Smokey and the Bandit, a measure of Fast and Furious and a lot of Cannonball Run, and that’s a good thing.  Much like those films, Need for Speed […]

“Le Chef” A Nice Helping of Good Comedy (Foreign Film Review)
