When you speak the names
Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello and Raphael there is magic … box office
magic. The latest theatrical
blockbuster starring the Ninja Turtles will be heading home just in time for
Christmas from Paramount Home Media Distribution on Dec. 16.
Director Jonathan
Liebesman’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles piled up $187.2 million at the box
office this past summer and arrives with a three-SKU product offering that
includes a stand-alone DVD edition and two Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack selections
(one of which features a 3D viewing option) …
The ARR works out to 130
days.
This re-launch of the
venerable franchise by Nickelodeon Movies delivered exactly what TMNT fans wanted. Action, clever dialog, action, more action
(Liebesman, who scored with such films as Battle Los Angeles and Wrath
of the Titans, deserves full credit) and yes, eye-candy, which comes in
the form of Megan Fox —she lands on her feet here after her Transformers
debacle.
The final product is also
beautiful to look at … all tech credits are solid!
As to bonus features,
these are limited to the Blu-ray SKUs.
There are three featurettes — “It Ain’t Easy Being Green,”
“Evolutionary Mash-Up” and “Turtle Rock” — an extended ending and the music
video “Shell Shocked,” which comes complete with a making-of featurette.
Also added to Paramount’s
release calendar this week is the long-awaited DVD mega-set of Mork
& Mindy: The Complete Series, teaming the late Robin Williams with Pam
Dawber and “special guest star” Jonathan Winters.
The delivery date for all
95 episodes of comic zaniness is Dec. 9 … bonus goodies include two Happy Day
episodes featuring Mork — “My Favorite Orkan” and “Mork Returns.”
