This video reviews the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles box set, a collection of 155 episodes and a TV movie.
The box set is presented in its original full screen format, without stretching the picture.
A minor disappointment is the lack of an episode guide, but the transfer looks good on Blu-ray and HDTV.
A full written review of the box set will be available at Classic Cinema Plus soon.
Greetings, Classic Cinema TV fans. This is Jason Lockhart here with you once again, bringing you another silver screen spotlight.

Also be sure to go to Classic Cinema Plus and check out all the full written reviews of these releases and so much more. All right, let's jump into this. Starting off with a Warner Archive release. This is pretty cool. This is starring Glenn Ford. Love this one. This is The Fastest Gun Alive. Yeah, The Fastest Gun Alive starring Glenn Ford. Yeah, Glenn Ford plays George Temple, a storekeeper in the Old West. But something very interesting happens is that some three bad guys roll into town to try to transfer out some horses. and, well, let's just say George's past catches up to him. Let's just put it that way. This is a really exciting film, and I've always loved Glenn Ford. I've loved Glenn Ford in all kinds of films. I think Blackboard Jungle is one of my favorites. I really enjoy that film. I love him in The Courtship of Eddie Father another Warner Archive release that was just released here recently You can get a link below to that review Also I hoping that someday they release Blackboard Jungle on Blu That would be really, really cool. But one of my favorites is a Christmas film as well where it's called Pocket Full of Miracles. Love that film. Yeah, so this is a very welcome addition to Classic Cinema Plus Studios. This is the fastest gun alive. Um, love that film. So very cool. Um, yeah. Um, so Warner archive added some pretty cool bonuses to this release as well. You get the theatrical trailer and to Tom and Jerry cartoon, uh, blue cat blues and downbeat bear. Um, that's going to be pretty cool to see that. So yeah, if you're a fan of Glenn Ford or the old West films, uh, yeah, the fastest gun alive, that's going to be one you're going to want. to add to your collection. It looks a little better from a little further away. There you go. So that gives you a little better look at it. And yeah, so if you're a fan of those old West films from the 50s, yeah, pick this one up. It's going to be awesome, I'm sure. We'll have a full written review at Classic Cinema Plus very, very soon. All right, now for the small screen spotlight. That was the silver screen spotlight. Here's the small screen spotlight. This is something that a lot of people have been really excited about. I know I have. I'm a big fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I'm actually wearing the Turtles jersey right now because this is a special video today. We're talking about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and this is the brand new release coming up here. And well, depending on when you're watching this, we're recording this a few days before it is released, but maybe you're watching it after it has already been released. But anyway, however you watching it Anyway this is the new Nickelodeon 2003 TV series and TV movie of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Ultimate Collection That is pretty awesome. I love that cover. That is a pretty awesome cover. Now, I've been really excited about that. This is a big box set, as you can see. This is a pretty awesomely big box set. Now, 155 episodes and a TV movie all included in this big box set. Now, as with most of the new releases that are coming out like this, they are like this. So you pull the spindle out and yeah, all the episodes are on these discs and they're like that so that they can come out and be easily taken out and returned to the case. It's kind of a blasé disc. It's not bad, but I'm just saying there's no color, but that's okay. One of the major things that I was a little disappointed about, just for pure being honest here, I was a little disappointed that there's no episode guide. You have no episode guide on the inside cover. There's no episode guide on the back. There is no episode guides on the discs. See, it just says episode 1 through 9, 10 through 18, so on and so forth. Yeah, I kind of like the idea of knowing the episodes that are on the discs. That's a little bit of a shame. But anyway, these are presented in their original full screen format, which is good. I glad there no stretching of the pitcher there because sometimes that can be really disgusting when you stretch out that picture So because especially in this day and age pretty much everybody has widescreen TV So a lot of times they'll put up the episodes and they'll stretch out the picture so they'll fit the screen. I'd rather have the black bars on the side than a stretched out screen. That's me. But anyway, so there you go. That's just a little first look at it. I wish there was an episode guide, but there isn't. I did watch the first episode so far, and it looks pretty good. The first episode looked really good on the Blu-ray player and on the HDTV. So, yeah, it looks like a pretty good transfer. So we'll have a full written review of this coming up at Classic Cinema Plus, so you'll definitely want to check out the full written review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming very, very soon to Classic Cinema Plus.
