Summary: 4 Stars
It was a good movie there is a scene that will have cat haters rolling on the floor!Movie Review: A Guilty Pleasure on a Rainy Saturday
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie has long been one of my guilty pleasures, a true B-Movie where the Frankenstein creation of a genetically mutated dog is adorable, pitiful, and horrifying.
Quick Summary: A news reporter (Ally Sheedy) breaks into a lab to do a story on how the company is experimenting on animals. While she is there she kidnaps "MAX" a Tibetan Mastiff who is apparently the culmination of the scientist's work (Scientist played by Lance Hendrickson). MAX instantly worms his way into her heart with his human intelligence and precious furry face. Unfortunately MAX is also very possessive, and overly protective of his new human love interest, much to the chagrin of her boyfriend.
Honestly this movie is not good, it's straight B-Movie fair, but man is it fun on a rainy Saturday afternoon. The things this dog can do are so way over the top you would think the movie was written by a 12 year old. But, the humor in the way they are executed will amuse most B-Movie fans. The cat and mailman scenes are hysterical to me. And you couldn't have picked a cuter more lovable dog (who is by the way, the best actor in the film). If you are looking for art, look elsewhere. If you are looking for substance, look elsewhere. If you are looking to add to you B-Movie collection then add this to your cart and have a fun time.
Movie Review: MAAAAAXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
Basically, a dog is victimized by mad scientists to become some
kind of "perfect" war machine by manipulating and extracting DNA
from other animals. The result is Max: an oversized dog with an
attitude that soon becomes free to roam and finds himself in the
warm hands of an extreme dog lover.
After several viewings it became clear why there is such a strong
bond between the woman and Max. Obviously she is into bestiality
and you will see the implied act while she caresses her newfound
pet on the kitchen floor. This subsequently leads to a strong
jealousy between Max and the woman's human lover. She also begins
to push her man away as soon as he turns on her canine lover. With
this in mind the movie becomes even more comical. To add to the
comic touch, is the over the top acting of the raspy-voiced Lance
Henricksen whom makes this movie more watchable. This man will
stop at nothing to regain control of his escaped killing machine
even if it means losing much sleep -- for no one is aware of how
dangerous his mutt truly is.
Highlights: Max chasing a mailman, eating a neighborhood cat,
blending into his surroundings like a chameleon and him taking
apart an abusive scrapyard owner.
Movie Review: Dog Day Afternoon
Summary: 3 Stars
A reporter stuck doing filler stories wants to break into real news. She gets a tip about animal abuse from an insider at a local corporation. She sneaks in and finds outrageous animal testing going on. One animal is a large dog that she decides to take with her. The viewer knows that this is no ordinary dog but the reporter does not see it.
Max, the dog, is actually a genetic blend of several animals thus giving it abilities beyond that of normal dogs. Max is also very intelligent. Max seems to take a real liking to the reporter and follows her direction while also following his darker purposes. The corporation's head, a scientist, is trying to get Max back as he believes Max will degenerate into a fearsome killing machine.
Whether Max is good, bad, or just very good at survival should be left for the viewer to discover. Ally Sheedy as the reporter and Lance Henricksen as the corporate head both give good performances. the plot develops very nicely and never seems to bog down in the middle the way so many do. A good horror/monster/nature-goes-wild flick.
