"TMNT" was the No. 1 movie in America for a reason this past week - it rocked. OK, so maybe I'm a little biased since I spent many a day in my youth (nearly two decades ago) playing with Ninja Turtle action figures, video games, going to the "Ninja Turtles: Coming Out of Their Shells" live tour, dressing up as a Ninja Turtle for Halloween and easily getting caught during a game of hide-and-go-seek-in-the-dark because I accidentally wore my glow-in-the-dark Leonardo PJs.
In all seriousness, the movie was better than I expected. Sure, there were plenty of groan-worthy jokes and plot holes big enough to drop a man hole cover through, but all-in-all this was actually a more grown-up Ninja Turtles movie in comparison to its early '90s counterparts. Go see it. Now.
In other ninja-related news, I'm a bit behind the times on this popular video podcast, but you MUST watch Ask a Ninja. Holy mother of all that is pure and good on the Internet, this is funny. The premise is simple - watchers send in random questions and a hyper, Red Bull-loving ninja answers them in various and hilarious ways. It's a mix of Ze Frank's in-your-face presentation, Will Ferrell's passive-aggressive delivery and Strong Bad's fan mail videos. Utterly priceless. Here, the ninja gives readers tips about college.
