Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #8

tmnt-8-coverAs the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fight off Old Hob‘s army of Mousers, General Krang meets with his scientist and we learn what Krang and Hob are really after. They aren’t trying to destroy the turtles, they just want to get their hands on Splinter.

It turns out Splinter is the only pure mutant specimen that Krang can use to develop his own mutant army. Unlike the turtles and Hob who were accidentally exposed to the mutigen, Splinter was given carefully controlled injections making him the perfect prototype. With the turtles distracted by the Mousers, Hob is able to make off with their master.

As the turtles fight for their lives Casey and April have a heart-to-heart after training and April’s story of ninjas and a rat named Splinter leads to an introduction that the young woman will never forget.

Tons of action, a little more insight into Krang’s plans, and April finally meeting the turtles. What more could you want? Best of the week.

Last Night

  • Title: Last Night
  • IMDB: link

last-night-blu-rayFrom writer/director Massy Tadjedin comes a tale of temptation as a married couple each find themselves fighting an attraction to someone other than their significant other during an evening spent apart.

What works so well about Tadjedin’s script is how lived-in Joanna (Keira Knightley) and Michael’s (Sam Worthington) life together feels. This isn’t your typical Hollywood romcom set of idealistic young lovers or bitter married couple. Despite a little bickering, it’s obvious the two love each other, but until the end of the film we’re not sure if doubts and temptation in the form of an old flame (Guillaume Canet) or an attractive co-worker (Eva Mendes) are enough to lure them into a decision that could end their marriage.

If the second-to-last episode of Chuck spent a little too much time setting up all the pieces in anticipation of one final hour, the show’s finale delivers a jam-packed episode full of callbacks from the show’s earlier years, one last performance of Jeffster, the return of the Intersect to where it rightfully belongs, and a tearful farewell to the show’s fans who have fought to keep Chuck on the air every single season for five years.
