Is there a better movie in the world than a 1990s Nick Cage movie? I submit that there isn’t. Cage teams up with the nearly equally over-the-top John Malkovich and John Cusack for a movie about convicts taking over a prisoner transport airplane to make an elaborate escape. And if that insane plot wasn’t enough, consider the all-star supporting cast: Ving Rhames, Dave Chappelle, Steve Buscemi, Danny Trejo, Monica Potter, and . . . Colm Meaney. Well 5 out of the 6 ain’t bad.

Ah yes, the classic popcorn-stuffing, Sunday afternoon, time-waster of a movie! This is another guilty pleasure to be sure but you had to know this was coming sooner or later. It’s the story of aliens attacking Earth and it’s up to a fighter pilot, a cable executive, a redneck, the Secretary of State (sort of), an Area 52 doctor, a stripper, and the President of the United States of America to team up and fend off the invasion. Before they come back this weekend, today we say “Welcome to Earth” or rather . . . Welcome to Or Is It?

A research facility on Mars has sent out a distress call and there’s only one group of specially trained mercenaries who can contain the threat. Yeah, it’s not exactly the same the plot of the video game but then again, was there a plot to the video game? I’m sure there was but did you really care or were you too busy shooting monsters and trying to find that damn yellow keycard? But hey, this movie has The Rock in it and a first-person action scene. Well, that’s something.

Yes, seriously. Look, we love this movie. It was a staple of our childhood and a pillar of our TMNT fandom. Hell, it’s probably still the best TMNT movie ever made. But it’s not just about bad movies on this show. It’s about movies that could have alternative stories. And 1990’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fits that definition perfectly. It’s the beginning and reporter April O’Neil meets up with four mutant turtles and a mutant rat. Together, they take on the evil Shredder and . . . his gang of unruly teens? They’re mean, green, and on the screen (sort of)! Cowabunga!
