This is the kind of movie where you really have to go into it with a sense of lightheartedness and fun. Mr. Right is by no means something one should take seriously at all. Now I’m not saying that this is a BAD thing. I’m simply trying to prepare you for some pretty wack stuff! The best way I’ve found to describe it would be if the Deadpool movie had a prequel about Wade’s life before he got his super powers. The film opens with Martha, (Anna Kendrick) who has just broken up with her boyfriend in what could only be described as hilariously awful. While still in a haze from her bizarre ordeal, she encounters a charming stranger (Sam Rockwell) at the the supermarket who turns out to be a “reformed” assassin. And by reformed I mean, he no longer kills people for money. Instead, he kills those who HIRE him to kill people. Because murder is wrong.

I’m not really big on movies that focus on mental illness. Most of them usually end up being cripplingly sad or fraught with turmoil throughout the entire film. When I go to a movie I like to be lifted up in some way. Another thing is that this film focuses on the lives of two poets. Which in my experience usually means you’re in for a lot of pretentious ramblings that make me want to pull my eyes out from boredom. But I’m very happy to report that Touched with Fire is a powerful, moving, and sometimes funny exception to that rule.

While they are among the most acclaimed modern filmmakers of today, one of the criticisms leveled at Joel and Ethan Coen is how mean they are to their characters. There may be truth in that, but Hail, Caesar! certainly says a lot about their love for the movies. Set in the 1950s, the Golden Age of Hollywood, this film is a mystery-comedy where the mystery hardly matters and a group of loosely-connected characters serve as a tribute to what makes the movies so grand. After making only a small splash in the theaters, the film is now on Blu-ray for all to see this lunacy.

Ever since it was announced way back when that the beautiful, thumb challenged, mother of three Megan Fox would star as April O’Neil in an all-new live action adventure/reincarnation feature film of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I knew things were completely on the right path. Cowabunga! I was so right! While the 2014 outing was rather silly and probably inconsequential to the survival of the TMNT brand as a whole (the Nickelodeon cartoon carries it alone), the end result was helluva lot of fun to be had (see my movie review here). So it’s with great joy, giddiness and absolutely no exacerbation that I unbiasedly (as much as possible considering Megan Fox is in this one) tackle the green subject matter contained within this review, the sequel to the 2014 Paramount hit, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, with the utmost of care, caution and precious handling. After all, these are cute, little green turtles. But who we kidding? These turtles love to kick arse! Gotta love ’em!

The turtles are back and actually better than ever. Sometimes you have to say something along the lines of, “if you didn’t like the first one then this will be no different,” but that really isn’t the case here. TMNT: Out of the Shadows has both packed itself with all sorts of new characters best known from their cartoon origins and done all it can to make the film more palatable for all audiences. The results are quite fun, granted you accept the CG-fest that you are in for.
