  (quick review edition)

  
  TMNT  (2007)  C+

  Simple uninspired story about brothers trying to reconnect again as a family unit, against an "end of the world" scenario. Great character interactions between the turtles and friends. Some good action sequences and genuinely funny moments. CGI animated work was a mixed bag between beautiful to mediocre. For the most part, average kids to teen flick. The followup should be better.

  
  I think I love my wife  (2007)  C+

  Story may not be spectacular but subject matter can be insightful, about a man whose marriage is already on rocky roads, then finds himself in a very dangerous situation getting close to a very sexually tempting old crush. Some really hilarious memorable moments. Not a pure comedy like you would think. Chris Rock's signature racial jokes still alive and well. Actions and decisions of the main character might annoy you to unbelievable heights.

  
  My Super Ex-Girlfriend  (2006)  C+

  Cute and silly story about a man who ends up dating a superheroine who is totally wrong for him. Some cheesy moments, but also humorous at some parts. Characters are likeable enough to a point. Overall an entertainting "fluff" movie that could have been done much better.
