Fun Disney film about a family of superheroes with Kurt Russell as the patriarch. Was interesting to see Russell return to the Disney fold where he basically got his start in the biz as a young kid in a plethora of movies in the late 60's early 70's. The movie was ok, but nothing terribly original. Kelly Preston was my hero in that skin tight outfit!!

I talked my daughter into watching this with me and she was out like a light before the trailers preceding the movie were finished.  Gotta teach her stamina now!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a review by Dragonfire

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Now you can catch America's favorite green teens in their first live-action blockbuster film! After wading in a puddle of radio-active waste, these radical reptiles are transformed into New York City's greatest crime-fighting quartet. Featuring a soundtrack by M.C. Hammer, this film will captivate adults and kids alike with its blend of humor, camaraderie and martial arts action. Don't miss this blockbuster movie. You'll have one shell of a good time! My Thoughts I only first saw this movie a few years ago.  I didn't really know anything about the characters other than their names at that point.  The characters actually first appeared in comic books and from what I read, the plot for the movie comes mainly from the comics instead of the cartoons.  The plot is a bit silly, but it works for the movie and things are entertaining.  There is a decent amount of action to what is going on and that does help to keep the pace moving.  There is a little bit of violence that isn't that graphic.  The movie works well as an entertaining family friendly movie.  Children may enjoy it more than adults.  Most of the characters are animals who can talk.  There are costumes for the turtles that were created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.  The costumes do look a bit odd, but they work well. The movie is a bit silly, but it works as a fun, entertaining movie. I did get a review posted on Epinions if anyone wants to take a look. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom

Star Trek: The Animated Series
Season 2.06 The Counter-Clock Incident
Writer: Gene Roddenberry (Original Characters By), John Wise (Writer)
Director: Bill Reed, Hal Sutherland
Cast: William Shatner (Capt. Kirk), Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock), DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy), George Takei (Mr. Sulu), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), James Doohan (Scotty)

The Enterprise enters a universe where the time moves backwards and the crew is getting younger and younger. It is an enjoyable episode, but it is full of scientific nonsense.
