Everything Wrong With the New Ninja Turtles Movie
I stand by my general enjoyment of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, but Cinema Sins had to go there.
That movie deserves to be torn apart! But like I said, I generally enjoyed it. The Ninja Turtles were my favorite cartoon as a Young Sean, but I’m savvy enough to know that there will always be new Ninja Turtle adaptations. Heck, I really love the current Nickelodeon cartoon, and I’m fairly certain the old 80s cartoon does not hold up. So if Michael Bay and friends want to make a few modern day Ninja Turtle movies, I say more power to them. I’ll still get a little kick out of all of them.
And someday, there will be even new cartoons, movies and comics.
Remind me to tell you henchies someday about my perfect Bebop and Rocksteady origin story. It’s genius.

New Year, Old Stuff
Hey gang! I’ve been lazing about for the past week, what with the holidays and all. There’s also the fact that it’s been kind of a quiet week, geek news wise. So how about we start the new year with something classic?
I can always count on the good people at Cinema Sins to provide quality blog fodder. They’re the meat and potatoes of this business!

Cinema Sins Weakly Flails at Guardians of the Galaxy
Look, we all love Cinema Sins. They’re fun people and they do good work. But Guardians of the Galaxy was perfect.
Although I suppose they have a few funny nitpicks. I guess. If I want to be fair. But I don’t! That movie was awesome!

Cinema Sins Doesn’t Understand the Vanishing Cabinet
Cinema Sins has gotten around to doing Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince. It’s pretty good, but they really don’t seem to understand the storyline with Draco and the Vanishing Cabinet.
Granted, maybe they’re only paying attention to the movie version of the story, but I’m pretty sure they mention somewhere that Draco spent the year repairing the Vanishing Cabinet, and that’s why he was testing it with an apple and a bird. Beyond that, the team does find some nifty plot holes to poke fun at. I never bought into Ron and Hermione’s relationship either!

All Other Sins Pale in Comparison to the Quicksilver Blunder
X-Men: Days of Future Past is a good X-Men flick, but it’s not perfect, as Cinema Sins will tell us. But really, there’s only one real blunder in the film: why the heck did the X-Men ditch Quicksilver after he proved himself to be incredibly useful?
Obviously, Quicksilver couldn’t come with them because he would have solved every single crisis in the movie in the blink of an eye. But why not come up with an explanation? Maybe he didn’t want to help the X-Men anymore, so he demanded that they let him go home? Nope, they just show them all parting ways, and that’s it.
Of course, we know now that Quicksilver was only in the film to stick it to Marvel, who put the character in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Apparently he was originally going to be Juggernaut. And yes, movie studios are that petty. Everybody and every thing is that petty.
And just for kicks, here’s the Honest Trailers version of Days of Future Past.
