The Secret Life of Pets 2 - Movie Review

History

I picked up the first Secret Life of Pets movie when the digital code was very cheap. I believe it was a 2 for $5 at the time. The movie was better than I expected. Being a completist with may things, I felt the need to pick up Secret Life of Pets 2 to complete the collection. It helped that it came out the same time as Godzilla: King of the Monsters. 

Review

Patton Oswalt is a great comedic actor and voice actor. His most famous voice acting being Ratatouille. Who could resist watching his character meet Harrison Ford's serious character in this movie. Harrison's character reminded me a lot of his character in Six Days Seven Nights. I was actually surprised that this was only part of the movie. There is a second story happening at the same time. Both stories merge about a two thirds of the way through in a satisfying way.

I have to admit, I initially put on the movie to test out my affordable theater room that I plan to post about soon. The movie's story and pace kept me interested and I ended up finishing it when I had only intended to make sure the projector's focus and alignment work working. I think many people will find at least one thing in this movie that will keep them interested in watching it until the end.

Rating

I would rate this at least a SD movie. It is worth picking up for under $7 in HD. I was able to pick up my HD copy for $7 at Family Video with their buy three for $21.

Digital Ownership

 What Is? With the digital revolution, digital media has been sweeping the world. My memory of digital media was back with iTunes in 2001. There you could download music with a touch of a button from an actual retailer vs illegally with the bonus of malware to your computer. I actually had digital music from iTunes before I had a iPod or iPhone to play it on. In 2005, Apple released their video iPod and started to "sell" digital TV and movies. I am not saying Apple was the foundation for the digital revolution but it was my first positive experience with digital media. My first digital video purchase was the unaired Aquaman TV pilot as it was the only place to get it. What does purchasing something digitally really mean though? Apple and Amazon are coming under class-action lawsuits for their digital ownership definition of "buy" an item. The lawsuit stems from the fine print where retailers cannot guarantee you own the product but merely have unlimited streaming. T...

Protecting Your Online Collection

 Protecting Your Collection In this time of cyber crime, you want to protect your investment of digital movies. I will be focusing this page on the primary retailers that connect with Movies Anywhere. At the time of this post, I am only aware of Google and iTunes are the only two retailers that offer secondary authentication. Technically, Amazon offers a secondary authentication with the use of a pin for digital purchases. I highly recommend you use these security feature provided by Amazon, Google, and iTunes. This provides great protection for your collection and any saved credit card information that you have with the retailer. I would not advise keeping your credit card information with a online retailer but I understand it's convenience. With that said, I will point out that users have the ability to removed their credit card information from Amazon, FandangoNow, Google, iTunes (provided you are not using Family Sharing), and Microsoft. This is convenient when one of the retai...

Captain Marvel - Movie Review

Digital Sales With the release of Captain Marvel, many retailers are offering several of the Marvel movies for $15 each. I was planning to talk about all the digital sales on Fridays but my followers are few and sales change every week. So I have decided to change things up a little bit again. I will keep Tuesdays for new and early access movies along with where to get them but I have decided to make Friday's movie reviews. I would enjoy any following this site to post comments on potential movies they would like reviewed. Marvel Releases Dates I want to say Marvel has been releasing movies to coincide with event celebrations. Last year, Black Panther came out in February. This was one of the first time a Marvel movie came out in February. Did anyone think this was due to February being Black History Month? If not, I bet you are thinking about it now. Why do I mention this? Captain Marvel is the first Marvel movie with a female lead. They couldn't let DC get away with...
