Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…

Kicks ASS!!!!! Keith and I took the kids to see TMNT. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Although I’d seen the cartoon as a kid, it’s not like I was an avid fan. Well, I am now! This movie was so Freakin’ cool! I didn’t even want to leave the theater long enough to take Jonas to the bathroom. I made my husband do it. Then, I excitedly whispered what he’d missed when he got back. I also told him we have to see it again, sans kids.

The plot was interesting, the animation was amazing, the acting was even good. I loved all the characters. And, for an animated film, I was surprised to see they took the time to have subplots as well as the main adventure plot. I’m giving this one two thumbs up. It’s lots of fun and beautiful to look at (Those animators are pure genius.) Plus, it had lots of action. Oh! And the fight scenes! I LOVED IT!

Also, a while back, I mentioned sending my query letter to Evil Editor for a face lift. Well, it was revamped and posted at EE’s site last week. And, I couldn’t be happier! I have a baby shower to go to today, but when I get back, I intend to take EE’s excellent suggestions and rework my letter so I can start querying agents with it. Ok, in the name of shameless self-promotion, if there are any literary agents reading my blog, I am still looking for representation. Feel free to contact me for a sample of my work. ;-)

Don’t forget, Anna Campbell will be here next weekend. I have it on good authority that there will be a contest involving your comments, so be sure to stop by and make your thoughts known. :-)

Have a great weekend everyone!
Sandy :-)

Now that I have a grownups' opinion of the movie, I feel safe taking my 5 year old!

sherbears,

Our daughter, almost 6, didn't have any issues with this movie. However, our son, newly 4, did hide his eyes at a few intense scenes. You might want to see the movie yourself before taking your 5 year-old.

Oh my gosh!! I'm not "with it". I thought the Turtles were goners, when my kids were little(they are teenagers now).
I really need to get a life!!

jacer,

I was shocked to see them too. They had been big when I was a teen, though I never really got into them. I'm a fan now. I really do want to go back with my husband to the big theater to watch it again with no kiddy interruptions. LOL.

Oh my kids want to see that movie so bad. I'm not quite up for it, but I promised. Sigh.

Carry a jar in your purse and you don't have to take the kid to the bathroom...
