Have modern movies increased our ability to accept outlandish heroes like the Ninja Turtles? Yes, and it’s a good thing, James writes… Theres a newTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesmovie out. Its a franchise reboot, bringing the iconic brand back to the big-screen in a fresh live-action feature. Splinter names the turtles Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo after great Renaissance artists. They are, thus, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It is also patently ludicrous....

The season rounds out its cast with some great new villains in this solid episode. I thought the premiere last week was steady, but nothing too spectacular, partly due to Jessica Lange. Really, the only difference is the silly German accent that Lange goes in and out of. But besides Lange, I really enjoyed this second episode. Things seem to be moving along at a nice clip. Suddenly, we have other villains to fill out the shows roster....

It’s got a daft name, and the last Terminator film wasn’t exactly a resounding success. So how can Terminator: Genisys win us round? Ive been a huge fan of theTerminatorfranchise ever since I watched the first film at a shockingly young age. ), and likeable characters, to name just a few. And, of course, weve also had two further sequels:Terminator 3: Rise Of The MachinesandTerminatorSalvation.

Brad Pitt leads a tank crew to the gates of hell in the World War II drama Fury. Here’s our review. His second is to learn as quickly as possible how to kill. Collier and his men are exhausted, disheveled, permanently covered in a film of sweat and grime. Theyre in a sort of primal state of being. Its blunt and ugly and the tension is almost unbearable.

Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are two of the coolest guys in comics. Theyve already dished us three fantastic arcs. Its a sick, twisted ballad in which the Joker tries to make Batman turn against his family. Capullo designed the scariest Joker Ive seen since Dave McKean drew him in Grant MorrisonsArkham Asylum. And things are only going to get better! What better way to celebrate than with a big, muscular story likeEndgame?...

And then in my teenage years it would have beenBram Stokers Dracula[1992] by Francis Ford Coppola....
