Double-Dose of Turtle Trouble!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows debuts this weekend, and I’ll get around to seeing it eventually. I enjoyed the first movie, for what it was, and I’m hoping this sequel has the same level of energy and general fun. At the very least, it’s brought out the usual assortment of Ninja Turtles Internet videos.
Thank you, Cinema Sins and Screen Junkies, for your continued entertainment value. Secret of the Ooze was my jam when I was a kid! Not sure about that other thing though…

The X-Men Animated Series Was My Everything
This cartoon was my everything growing up in the 90s! Not only did it introduce me to a lot of newer X-Men, but I’m pretty sure this helped push along my interest in comics. I watched a ton of cartoons in the 80s, when I was really young, but the 90s and the X-Men Animated Series were my formative years.
I wonder if the episodes hold up at all. I’ve seen a few over the years, but I have to imagine it was a product of its time. Kudos to Screen Junkies for nailing all the best parts!

I Think I Like These More Than Cinema Sins
Recently, a hero at Shesellssheshells has started sinning the Cinema Sins videos! He throws shade at the weak sauce critiques that Cinema Sins has been putting down, as the kids are known to say. He has now torn apart Everything Wrong With Avengers: Age of Ultron. It’s fun!
Though I’d come up with a better name than ‘Shesellssheshells’. I’m not even sure I’m spelling that right…

Speaking of the Punisher…
Honestly, there’s really only one thing wrong with Thomas Jane’s Punisher movie…
Cinema Sins did a fine job, but really, the biggest problem is that it’s a revenge film, not a punishment film. Daredevil season 2 did the same thing. Why can’t filmmakers separate Frank Castle from getting revenge on the people who killed his family? I guess they just need to make more than one movie, so we don’t always have to do an origin story.

The Captain America Movie You Didn’t Know Existed
I saw Captain America: Civil War last night and loved it to dickens! It’s great, it’s epic, it’s so much fun! It lives up to all the hype! My review will go up later today, but for now, let’s take a look at the classic 1990 Captain America, in an age when the world wasn’t so epic.
It was a simpler, darker time. Thankfully, the world has evolved into Civil War! But Screen Junkies is right, we must never forget how good we have it.
