Today's Mutant Ninja Turtles doesn't so much provide brainless enjoyment as it pumbles

0:26.1

the viewer into submission. Shell Shocked is a reasonable description of the experience.

0:31.2

That's from James Brardonnale of Veteran Critic, great blurb of real views. We're talking

0:35.5

about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem, which is our new movie this week.

0:40.2

Also, the old movie, I can't wait to talk about Rocky IV. I'll tell you why we're doing
