Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I’m going for the Arrow Video release of the TMNT Trilogy – Arrow is putting together a Criterion-level package for these films, making this a must-get, at whatever resolution you can play (for me that’ll be UHD).” Blaine says, “I’d recommend the TMNT Trilogy as well as the Amazon exclusive Trilogies bundle. Both are very strong collections, at least for members of our generation.”
I should be right up my alley, but I just couldn’t get into Blake’s 7. I watched… at least series 1, and it just failed to grab me.
My brother was really into TMNT. I think I took him to most (if not all) of those movies. Anyone else remember the brief hysteria around kids “fighting” each other like ninjas (inspired by TMNT and Power Rangers)?
