Great improvement of the Turtles. The 80's movies rocked, but this one is so much better! With the animation you can do so many more things and that's the way comic book characters should be viewed. My kids loved the action and the scary bad guys. I thought the ending was too easy, and the bad guys didn't give the Turtles as much trouble as the Foot Clan, but hey its easy for the kids to understand. The Nightwatcher is a really cool idea. We watched it a couple times, and I thought the Turtles could have interacted with each other a little more, but its a movie, and we got all sorts of action. One Cool Turtle Flick!
What's great about it: The Turtles! KC Jones and April, and Master Splinter, plus new characters
What's not so great: Should be a sequel, due to the mention of the Shredder
Package Description: A comic catch from the studio that brought you Shrek, SHARK TALE is a hilarious hit and "a wonderful under-the-sea adventure for movie lovers of all ages!"

Wonderful family flick that the kids will love

Great family flick! The kids love it. The voices of the actors fit their characters perfectly. That can be the hardest part about animated films, but not with this one. The Whale Wash is a humorous business. The ending is really good too. Well worth watching a couple times. Would like to see a sequel.
What's great about it: animation is wonderful, story line is really good, believable voices by actors
What's not so great: De Niro's shark could be meaner
A wonderful family film for kids of all ages. The animation is superb and the voices for the characters are perfect. The story line is understandable and easy for kids to get. It is a solid story with great animation and a fairy tale ending. Definitely worth watching again and again. Hope there will be a sequel!
What's great about it: Wonderful plot, animation is outstanding, fun ending
This was a bad movie. We were ready to shut it off about a third of the way through. It just didn't make sense. I struggled through the rest of the show and it was not that good. Pierce Brosnan saves this film. If there was someone else in his role, it would be a flop. Save your time and money and see something else!
What's great about it: Pierce Brosnan (who saved this flick)
What's not so great: The other actors and the storyline
Funny movie that is sure to get laughs by the whole family. The creative idea of wedding crashing is explored in depth. The love story is very good and the actors do a great job of living the roles. Worth watching a second time!
What's great about it: great story line, actors are wonderful, funny ending
What's not so great: the whole funeral crashing idea is weird
This is a classic! The oompa loompas are amazing. Not many movies are as great as this one. Gene Wilder is wonderful. If you haven't seen this movie, where have you been? See it again and again...
What's great about it: Great acting, great plot, lots of fun
This was a classic event! One of the greatest wrestling events of all time. Savage-Steamboat was a true grudge match. There were so many great story lines back then. If you love professional wrestling, this is a must have!
What's great about it: The all-time greats, when WWF really started to take off
A man trying to save his relationship with the woman he loves finds himself sinking into a quicksand of small lies and half-truths in this comedy. Paul (Jason Lee) is a regular guy who is engaged to marry Karen (Selma Blair); while Paul loves Karen, he's more than a bit nervous around her family, even though her father (James Brolin) has already given him a job in the family business. Shortly before the wedding, Paul's friends throw him a bachelor party, complete with a boatload of liquor and a squadron of grass-skirt-clad tiki dancers. Paul strikes up a conversation with one of the dancers, the cheerful if inept Becky (Julia Stiles), and the next morning, he wakes up bleary-eyed with a massive hangover -- and Becky in bed next to him. Paul soon receives a phone call from Karen saying she's stopping by for a visit, and Paul scrambles to get Becky out of his apartment. Paul attempts to explain some incriminating evidence with a few white lies, but a messy situation gets messier when Paul runs into Becky at a pre-wedding family get-together...and discovers she's Karen's cousin. A Guy Thing also features Shawn Hatosy, Lochlyn Munro, and Julie Hagerty.

Good movie, more of a guy comedy

Could have used a more attractive male lead. Stiles and Blair are super hot! The plot is hilarious and well written, but this clearly could have used one of the wilson boys or a more convincing love interest between Stiles and Lee. Don't get me wrong, Jason Lee is a great comedian, but not much for romance. In Alvin and the Chipmunks, he clicked better with his female opposite. Just not here. Really funny though and worth watching on a date or something.
What's great about it: Great plot, very entertaining
What's not so great: Not much of a love connection between Lee and Stiles

Extremely fun and challenging game. The kids love to decorate their characters. The golf games are challenging, as well as some of the others. Well worth the investment and provides hours of fun. Easy to pick up for new people and the instructions are easy to access and follow. A very well made game! Definitely recommend!
What's great about it: all ages can enjoy a game or two with Carnival Games, competition is a blast
Brace yourself for a new set of tricks, tracks and ways to race. The included Wii Wheel transforms your Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels great in your hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller supply a classic control style for veterans of this racing series. Either way, you'll be able to perform impressive speed-boosting tricks, such as jumps, flips and wheelies.You can zip through brand-new tracks and arenas, and also tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Kart DS.

This is one of the best games ever! We battle friends on-line all the time. The VR rating system is wicked! Wish you could have a design your own track. Now that would rule! Without a doubt, this game should be first on your list!
What's great about it: great on your own and with multi-players, and the on-line battles ROCK!
What's not so great: hard to get all the unlocked characters, can only play as guest as 2nd person on-line
