Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016)
Enjoyable all throughout, except...
"Out of the Shadows" might be enjoyable and exciting, especially the action pacted scenes for the kids, as did my grandchildren, but lacking significantly for most adults unless you're already a major fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Directing seems not enough for consistency, not unless, one doesn't mind the flaws in pursuit of character moment to moment portrayal, plot and scene to scene realism.
Meagan's in particular stands out as consistent with her soul lacking, "always pretty immaculately clean" face, bland-stoic style that spoiled the character and douse cold water scene after scene.
In general, I find the "Out of the Shadows" enjoyable all throughout, except for the bland acting..
Last Days in the Desert (2015)
A total waste, misused biblical character of Jesus
A total waste, if you want a good if not at least romanticized, heavily biased interesting movie on Jesus with some close to factual depiction of a segment of his human life.
Also a waste of good acting talent with a script and plot that is evidently poorly done, even as one attempt to introduce some interesting twist.
Quite frankly, the story line is totally lacking any artistry, even baseless, unfounded of any biblical or historical fact about Jesus' 40 days trials and temptations in the desert.
Nut shell, other than the misused biblical character of Jesus, this is a movie with a poorly plotted, poorly directed bland, desperately boring fictional story.
