Checked out the sequel to the 2014 remake of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise (“Out of the Shadows”). This is the live action reboot of the franchise with ugly, hulking version of the turtles. I didn’t care much for … Continue reading
X-Men: Apocalypse is the latest X-Men movie to star the younger cast from First Class and Days of Future Past. We get a return of James Macavoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult and others… now joined by Sophie Turner … Continue reading
