This is rather late now but I really wanted to say something. I mentioned before that I had seen the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film (actually called TMNT) and I'm pleased to say it was absolutely great.
I went to see the film on a weekday, and it was mostly younger children in the audience. I went with my girlfriend who very kindly puts up with my childish tendencies. I loved the film but she was very clearly bored - so Jo - thanks for putting up with me, and sorry for taking you to see the film.
The story itself picks up a few years after the Ninja Turtles movies, cartoons and everything else. Shredder has been removed, and the turtles are now at a loose end. They are all doing different things to pass the time but mostly they have simply lost their way. Then some evil dudes come along and try to bring about an apocalypse, and the turtles have to save the day.
The story is nice and simple, but it is so full of fun and silly humour that I was in a mini Ninja Turtle heaven.
I was really surprised by the animation. Whilst the film didn't have the cleanliness or polish of a Pixar movie, it was full of charm and had a unique style of it's own. It was very much a comic book/ cartoon brought to life, and I was really pleased.
Naturally the film has been left open for a sequel; I suspect it won't get one (but really hope it does) since it had only been out a couple of weeks when I saw it and it had already been relegated to a single showing a day.
It was very nice to feel like a child again for a few hours, and I really enjoyed the movie. It's not for everyone but if you have fond memories of the Turtles then I would definitely recommend getting the dvd when it's released... or at least renting it. You won't regret it!
Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.

I am confused (I haven't seen it yet), but is the movie animated or like the other TMNT movies?
The movie is entirely computer generated
"Splinter has been removed, and the turtles are now at a loose end"
no not splinter. shredder.
Oops - how comes you're the only person to notice I got them mixed up? I've fixed it now, don't know how I could miss that, thanks for pointing it out.
well acutally shredder isnt removed....just erm kind of dead........well for now anyway
i like the films but i hope the turtle body is create like the first body of the turtle, because when u want to see the true think the body of the turtle is more dark and not look friendly and also i hope the story is more better than this because i see the story is good but must be more in action.thats all thanks
