Movie Reviews of A Boy & His Dog
Movie Review: hilarious, low budget tongue and cheek post WWIII
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful gem of a film, about the wreckage that survives in the wake of the nuclear holocaust. The young Don Johnson is the boy, and he demonstrates greater talent as an actor than any of his subsequent TV junk. He is the dog's sidekick, which is trying to educate him about American presidents (!), as they try to get along in the desolate landscape and chaos. While they do find a pocket of civilization, which the boy must explore, its horrors help them to get their priorities straight in the end.
What is so funny about this all is that it parodies the usual fuzzy companion films and just about everything else about hollywood givens and platitudes, from love to ethics. I don't want to reveal the plot here, but it is wonderfully summed up when the dog thanks the boy in the end, "I really appreciated that. Sure you don't want some?"
Warmly recommended for the sci fi buff with a sense of humor.
Movie Review: Stay Away From Topeka!...
Summary: 5 Stars
Don Johnson (long before he starred in things that made me nauseous) is a drifter in the desolate, post-apocalyptic world of 2024 AD. The surface of the Earth is a blasted wasteland, full of roving bands of scavengers. Johnson and his telepathic dog roam the devastated desert-scape, looking for canned goods and "chicks" to "nail". Unbeknown-st to him, someone is watching. Someone w/ nefarious plans for Mr. Johnson and his hyper-active libido. You see, there's an entire civilization living below ground in a synthetic version of Topeka Kansas! Jason Robards (THE DAY AFTER) leads this weird "town" full of subterranean Kansans. A BOY AND HIS DOG is a trippy sci-fi adventure w/ loads of crazy characters and humour. A classic...Movie Review: Yeah Baby
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't seen this movie in about 20 years and I still remember it to this day, it saved my life (and my dog).
I was dating a little wanna be rich girl years ago when she crossed the line. I was going to move in with her and she wanted me to put my dog "down" as she already had a dog and we didn't need two. Well, great sex is hard to give up, BUT, when it comes to a boy and his dog, eventually the spinal fluids take over.
And believe it or not, that pretty much sums up this movie....
I wonder where that girl is today. I also wonder how many have traded their faithful pups for manipulating woman?
Stand by your dog men.....he's good for ya...
Movie Review: cult classic? why not wider interest...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've loved this film from my first watching many moons of Jupiter ago...watching it again has me appreciating it even more, the true hallmark of a classic film! [one of my] fav quotes of any film ever just has to be: "you're starting to sound like a g-dd-mn poodle!" and the entire dialog subsequent in that same scene bears comparison to the finest Woody Allen...see it and weep! w/laughter...Alex 'just another bleary-eyed vidwatcher'Movie Review: As good as Dr. Strange Love and BladeRunner
Summary: 5 Stars
The title for the review speaks volumes: in my opinion this as good as the above listed SciFi films. This is not the Don of Miami vice or the Alvy Moore of Green Acres or the Jason Robards of Once Upon a Time in the West. LQ Jones, Dodo McQueen, writes a suberb script. It's the vision of the future none of us wants, but some of us fear. This film is unique and a must have for any Cult Film aficionado.
