TMNT LEGO Movie: Big Rig Snow Getaway Review
I've lived through one movie incarnation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), and I didn't really think that the world needed another one.

Sickly Green Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle LEGO Sets are the best we’ve seen in ages
The new range of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle LEGO kits are out, and I can't help feeling these are far cooler and far more fun than the new film will ever be. The Turtles now have the means of flight and underwater travel, and as such they get great new outfits with nice little details. I think … [Read more...]
The LEGO Movie – Insert “brick” puns here
Chris Pratt (Andy in Parks and Recreation) continues his ascent through Hollywood's ranks of awesome ("awesome" being a very appropriate word in the case of this film) as he trades in Pawnee for the blocky streets of Bricksburg... The LEGO Movie - rather good, or bricking bad? (Sorry.) … [Read more...]
