Reviews
| Bodacious? Awesome? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze wins all prizes for the longest, weirdest, creepiest-sounding movie title since 1963's classic maudit The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies -- which it will considerably outgroos at the box office.
Other rewards for this slap-happy sequel may be in short supply, though Jim Henson richly deserves the posthumous salute he gets in the movie's credits. Without the stunningly whimsical turtle suits supplied by Henson's Creature Shop -- a set of roguish jolly-green outfist topped with roving eyes, Kermit-like mouths and multicolored headbands-- both movies might look just like they often sound. Pretty tacky.
