Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Friday, August 21 - Saturday, August 22, 2015

DCP projection “This live action feature pits the crime-fighting, man-sized turtles against Shredder, their arch enemy, who is recruiting hordes of teens to his evil ways. Reporter April O’Neil (Hoag) has been investigating a sudden increase in New York crime, and becomes embroiled in their mission after the pizza freaks save her from a mugging. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop has created splendid animatronic characters (including a four-foot talking rat)… The big plus for fans, of course, is the boisterous interplay between the four heroes and some engaging slapstick humour; both redeem more functional elements like the love-hate relationship between April and martial arts enthusiast Casey (Koteas).” – Time Out
