8CN: It isn't surprising that every major studio wants their own Avengers franchise. After all, Marvel is the king of the box office at the moment, and no matter how crazy of an idea they come up with, it still makes oodles of money.

The upcoming R-rated TMNT: The Last Ronin film is exactly what the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise needs.
Revelations Review: This movie might not be Yeon Sang-ho's best work, but it explores human nature and beliefs in an entertaining, thrilling, and crisp way.
