A Dog's Journey - Movie Review

Another Dog Movie

With superheros calming down after Avengers Endgame and Spider-Man Far From Home, we find ourselves back to another dog movie. The movie industry finds something that sells and makes nothing but these types of movies until the next big thing shows up that breaks the mold, I mean the box office records. Not to be confused with A Dog's Way Home, A Dog's Journey is the actual sequel to A Dog's Purpose following the adventures of Bailey as he is reincarnated into a new dog after each life trying to find his purpose.

Review

If you have not watched A Dog's Purpose, you probably should not watch this movie as you will be completely confused as to what is going on. Well, you will at least be a little confused and will definitely miss the meaning at the end of the movie. I admit that the first movie was an emotional movie for me to watch for many reasons but I think it affect many the same way.

This movie still invokes emotion but I think I have been a little desensitized to the death and rebirth of a dog on his journey. Don't get me wrong. I actually stopped watching this movie a few times before I finished it. Not because it was a bad movie but because I watched the movie by myself which I don't recommend for this (or really any) movie.

About 30-40 minutes in, I was hooked and could not stop watching. It was a very good movie. I suspect that there will not be a third movie which I am perfectly fine with. The movie told a story and the series told an adventure. I appreciate it when studios work on a good story and does not try to cash in by watering down a story or dragging a story over way too many movies. Yes, I am talking about John Wick even though I like the series. 

If you have watched A Dog's Purpose, this movie must be watched. I believe it ended the adventure in a very satisfying way. If I said happy or sad, you would probably figure out the ending and why there will most likely not be a third movie in this series.

Rating

I would rate this a low HD movie. It is worth picking up for less than $10 especially if you have the first movie. I was able to pick up my HD copy for $8 at Family Video.

The Flash - Movie Review

 Surprise Ticket I recently purchased The Doom That Came To Gotham and Justice League x RWBY animated movies that were on sale at Vudu this week.  I received a bonus of $8 off to go see The Flash movie from each movie.  So both my brother and I utilized the discounts for a rare trip to the movies.  Of the two animated movies I purchased, I highly recommend the Justice League x RWBY crossover movie even though it is Part 1 and Part 2 does not currently have a release date yet. Review While The Flash movie was decent, positive reviewers of the movie have obviously not seen The Flash TV series that just completed its run on The CW network.  The story in the movie and the special effects were much better in the TV series than in this movie.  Obviously, TV series has a longer time to tell a story.  Some of the movie’s special effects looked like they were from a couple of decades ago.  While this was only mildly distracting from the movie, it is defini...

Disney+ On Disc

  Change Is Coming Recently Disney+ has been cancelling content like the Willow series among other content on their service. This has given me pause as to what will happen to this content if you want to watch it. Series like the Mandalorian and the final season of Clone Wars were on available through the streaming service. The new idea that this content might eventually be removed from the service to never be seen again was a real possibility. Now we have some hope. I recently received an emailed from Marvel Entertainment. Generally, I would take a quick look and discard it but this one I had to look into more. The link pointed towards Best Buy or Walmart to preorder but I did find Loki Season 1 and WandaVision Season 1 available on Amazon. My hopes started to get raised. So with some quick searches, I did find in fact the Mandalorian Season 1 and 2 will be released on disc later this year. Here are the release dates per the email and what I found at the retailers. Loki - September...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Movie Review

  New vs Old The original 1968 started a series of five movies the last being Battle for the Planet of the Apes . The current series started with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes  with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  the fourth in the series. While similar in concept, I do not anticipate Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  to be the last in this new series. The original series focused on what I consider the human’s side of the story. The current series focuses on the ape’s side of the story. Based on the ending, I suspect there will be another movie to come. Review You care for the characters and the story moves at a good pace. You hardly notice it is nearly a 2.5 hour movie. You can watch the movie for simply the entertainment or you can find a message about coexisting. There are several surprises in the movie which is something I look forward to since I have seen way too many movies. I appreciate the cinematography in this film as way too many movies get t...
