The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ journey from a simple comic book to a global entertainment franchise is a grand one. This is the story of a comic series that began modestly in the early 1980s and has since expanded into television shows, movies, toys, and countless more comics, capturing the hearts of generations. Its premise revolves around a group of baby turtles abandoned and transformed by toxic ooze in a sewer. An equally altered and paternal rat raises them. This captivating story of these heroes in a half-shell has triggered a plethora of narratives for decades as these anthropomorphic creatures strive to find their place in the world.

Movie Review: Jobs

What It’s About

This movie is about the life and career of Steve Jobs.

What I Like

What impressed me most about this film is Ashton Kutcher; he was excellent in his role and I have newfound respect for his dramatic acting capabilities.

I also enjoyed this movie’s soundtrack – it was awesome. Any time a film features music by REO Speedwagon, Cat Stevens and Toad The Wet Sprocket, it’s going to bring a smile to my face.

What I Don’t Like

I wish the film included the last few years of Jobs’ career. The closest we get to that is a scene where Jobs unveils the iPod to Apple employees for the first time. It’s a cool moment, but what about the launch of the iPhone and the iPad? And what about his health struggles at the end of his life? To me, this was a missed opportunity.

Bottom Line

Despite its minor shortcomings, Jobs is a highly entertaining film that almost anyone will enjoy. If you come into it with an open mind about the subject matter and the lead actor, you’ll feel satisfied by the time the final credits role. I highly recommend it.
