Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Looks Spectacular
I have loved everything I’ve seen about the upcoming animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. I have been a Turtles fan since I was a little kid in the ’80s. They were my jam. And I have gladly checked out all the various iterations over the years. I’m all in favor of a new one, especially one that looks so good.
I love the animation style. It’s gorgeous! It’s so flashy and cool. I love the sense of humor, the sense of action, the understanding of the characters. This looks so damn good! We also got our first looks at the supporting mutants, like Mondo Gecko, Ray Fillet and my favorite, Wingnut. They’re not as cool as I’d hoped they would be, but they definitely fit the style of the movie. So we’ll see how it all plays out on the big screen.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem comes out on Aug. 2.

Ash vs. Tell It Animated
We need some slasher heroes! The good dude at Tell It Animated is now tackling Ash Williams from the Evil Dead films. Because Ash is awesome and deserves this sort of attention and love.
Another banger of an episode! I’m glad to see that Tell It Animated has nearly two million followers these days. I hope this dude is killing it and raking in the big bucks for his fun little shorts. I wish him all the success in the world.
And, as always, my recommendation is Robin!

Movie Trailer Thursday
I’m still on vacation, still just sitting on my butt and playing a bunch of Tears of the Kingdom. But a bunch of movie trailers have come out, and I’m going to see Fast X this afternoon. So why not share and see what everybody else thinks?
First up is Haunted Mansion, the second attempt by Disney to turn this famous ride into a movie. I don’t remember anything about the first Haunted Mansion movie, but this new one already looks better, and has a bunch of great actors.
Looks solid. Looks enjoyable. I’ll probably go see it, depending on whatever else comes out that weekend. I doubt it’ll launch a new franchise, though. But they can try.
Haunted Mansion comes out on July 28.
Next up is Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning: Part 1. I’ve never been into the Mission Impossible movies. The ones I’ve seen have been fine action films, sure, but this franchise means nothing to me. Like the Fast & Furious franchise.
Like, how is this trailer any different from every trailer in this franchise ever? How are any of these movies separate or different from all the other movies in the franchise? Why does this one need to be two parts?! I just don’t get it.
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning: Part 1 comes to theaters on July 12.

6 Thoughts on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
We have come to the end of an era. After years of waiting, a ton of behind-the-scenes madness, and a bunch of Marvel movie phases, we’ve finally reached the grand finale of the Guardians of the Galaxy series. I’m excited and sad in equal measure. It’s a shame we’ll never seen this team again, written and directed by James Gunn. But I also feel like we’ve had a lot of adventures with them, and it’ll be good to let them rest.
Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great
I had a great time with this film. I have few, if any, real complaints. I have loved the Guardians of the Galaxy movies since the beginning. I loved the comics that inspired the movies, I loved the heck out of those first trailers, and I have all the faith in the world in James Gunn. The man is at the top of his career right now, putting out golden projects left and right. So I’m very pleased that Vol. 3 turned out as good as it is. Everyone involved should be pleased and proud.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and full review on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the film. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments down below.
