Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014

teenage_mutant_ninja_turtles_ver14_xxlg-720x1013OK so Rotten Tomatoes gives it a grilling but its a fun movie and pretty well done.  I’d be lying if I say its worth full price or 3D, but cor a matinee, which is all I and my son go to, its…well…fun.    It gets the tone right, neither too campy or too serious and the characters are, uh, well what can you say about a near seven foot, bipedal rat and turtles? The characters have to have lay it on thick personalities that was the way they always have been.  The TNMT’s are fun loving reasonably serious young guys.  The bad guys are villains with goons what can you add?  Megan Fox’s character is central, and she held the movie together.   Her O’Neal is not a shrinking violet, victim or Mz KickAss, for the plot she had to be a bit pig headed and very naive, but she was well cast and played it well.

We’d certainly go and see a sequel if it’s done as well and doesn’t have much competition.

So todays version of Elgin is up at Smashwords, or should be shortly.   As before please have a look and let me know what you think. If you can plow through all the bad grammar, fumble finger mistakes, cut and paste snafu’s etc.   You can follow the links to the side they should get you there, and they also give you access to the Moon Dreams a sci fi thriller about the year after next year, and if you like that, Under Siege, a novel of the far distant future, where humans are still human far from the wreckage that was Earth.
  Cheers

So I’ve always had this problem, I have a picture of the arc of the story now, have various characters in place, more things to reveal.  etc, etc but I begin to wonder is it all too damn predictable.  If some has read to this point are they going to say, ‘oh I know how this all ends up, BORING.” I don’t think so but it niggles at me.
