• Here are the worst video game movies of all time

  26-05-2016 23:50 via news.yahoo.com
  
  Independently, playing video games and watching movies are immensely enjoyable activities. But when the two mix, the result is often an exercise in disappointment. Likely rooted in Hollywood's never-ending effort to print money without exercising an ounce of creativity, movie executives always seem keen on taking whatever video game happens to be hot at the moment and turning it into a movie.

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan Review

  26-05-2016 22:35
  
  No matter how you slice it, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan isn't a fulfilling adventure. For as cool as the turtles and the bosses look, and despite hitting a pretty nice balance between classic cartoon nostalgia and entertaining new fans, the most important part of this ninja’s arsenal – the combat itself – is too chaotic to enjoy, even over its blink-and-you’ll-miss-it length.
  Mutants in Manhattan's story is as by-the-comic-book as can be: Shredder a
