Movies You Should Be Watching: ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been the surprise movie of the season. Was it outstanding? No. Did they innovate the children’s movie genre? Not really. But the movie managed to not suck, and that was a major victory. I didn’t want to see the movie, but we’ve been making a habit of taking our small children to the movies whenever possible because a giant ...
