Thoughts on... Tmnt (2007)

28 April 2012 1:44 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Tmnt, 2007.

Directed by Kevin Munroe.

Featuring the voice talents of James Arnold Taylor, Nolan North, Mitchell Whitfield, Mikey Kelley, Mako, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Chris Evans.

Synopsis:

The four turtles are back in this animated adventure that sees them pitted against vicious beasties and each other.

It's been over a decade since the turtles crawled back into their shells after the awful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993). Now they're back, and in child-friendly fully animated form. Sadly, this means the dark gritty atmosphere that made Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) such an exciting breath of fresh air has been replaced by a movie that wouldn't look out of place amidst Saturday morning cartoons. Of course, this has always been the target audience for these films, but Tmnt doesn't even attempt to address older fans wrapped up in the warmth of nostalgia.

TV Review: The Legend of Korra—"Welcome to Republic City/A Leaf in the Wind"

15 April 2012 2:03 PM, PDT | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »

Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the best TV shows ever made.  Despite being essentially a children's show, The Last Airbender was almost perfect in every regaurd; the characters were likeable and well thought out, the action was amazing, the plot was intense and thoughtful, and the overall tone of the show was pitch perfect, featuring some of the finest episodes of television I've ever seen.  In my opinion, Tla is the closest this generation might get to a Star Wars-esque trilogy...it's just that wonderful.  So with all that in mind, I went into The Legend of Korra quite hopeful.  As a sequel to the original story, things could  go south pretty fast (ala The Prequel Trilogy).  But I had hope in creators Michael Dante Di Martino and Bryan Konietzko (the two co-creators of Tla) to deliver something that could live up to the origanal's glory.  Do »

The Legend Of Korra Review

13 April 2012 8:19 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

It’s surprising, considering the plethora of animated and/or kid-friendly shows, just how many entrants into the general realm of the “cartoon,” have really gone down as game changers. In 2005, Avatar: The Last Airbender not only took off and managed a difficult to believe popularity, but it also rose to an entirely new level. In fact, it managed to reinvent its own genre to such a degree that everything since has had to create itself as clearly in a post-Avatar world.

Not merely a fine enough children’s show, but without question one of the best things that has ever happened to television (and I’m a fairly snooty film critic at heart).

The show’s greatest play was its brilliant marriage of elements (no pun intended), that combined not only the simpler things, but far deeper subjects as well, and all of it delivered in a way that »
