Movie Review: Man's Best Friend
Summary: 3 Stars
Ally Sheedy stars as an investigatory reporter that rescues a dog from an experimental research facility. What she doesn't know is that Max has been genetically-engineered to become the ultimate killing machine, and his makers will stop at nothing to get him back! MAN'S BEST FRIEND is just another silly killer animal flick from the early 90's that barely skates by thanks to a tight script and serviceable directing from writer/director John Lafia as well as another strong performance by genre favorite Lance Henriksen. Max comes fully equipped with the claws of a jaguar, the eyes of an owl, the strength of a bear, and many other enhancements which he uses to terrorize the mailman and get his revenge on the company that made him. The deaths are expectantly tame, with the hilarious exception of a cat that is eaten whole by the marauding canine. MAN'S BEST FRIEND won't be winning any awards in the near future, but as a late night popcorn movie it is an entertaining enough entry in the killer animal genre.

Movie Review: Pretty Dog
Summary: 3 Stars
The dog is pretty though. They used 4 or 5 different dogs for the movie and used the females in some scenes as they were easier to make look agressive. I have a male of this breed (Dokhyi) and they are nice dogs, and they don't pee acid ;-).Movie Review: Man's Best Friend
Summary: 1 Stars
A reporter is trying to get a hot scoop at an animal research facility called E-Max. The one who was going let her in is called by a highly intelligent named Max but he is shot with a tranquilizer and subdued. The reporter breaks into the place and releases the million dollar dog. She is mugged and the dog kills the mugger. I thought he was subdued? Anyways, if your a pet lover then this movie is not for you. The only real graphic scene involved the dog swallowing a cat whole and it implies he rapes the dog next door. The dog's face is even burned towards the end. The movie looks like a typical 90's horror movie with bad acting and not alot of gore. The story makes little sense including the fact the the dog was shot with a tranquilizer and he will turn into a killing machine when it wears off even though he's killed 3 people already. Anyways, some might enjoy it but i'd skip on this bad dog.Movie Review: Maybe I shouldn't be this jaded...

Sometimes I think my own cynicism is bad for me. I tend to judge a movie solely on it's promotional material. Sure, that's what it's there for, but still, sometimes I wonder if maybe I'm keeping myself from some really enjoyable movies because off my gut instinct.But all I have to do to assuage those pangs of doubt is to close my eyes and think back to when I was taken, against my will, to go see Man's Best Friend. "No," I said, "That movie will be horrible." And I was right. Oh boy was I right. Lucky me!
So jaded I shall remain. Gut instinct prevails.

I am truly shocked that there are people out there that thought this movie good, and for saying it could be a reality? I mean the plot of this movie is sooooooooo pathetic it was almost enjoyable to watch. But the dog jumping the police cars, and climbing trees, swallowing a cat whole, and turning colors so well that it became invisible, were pathetic. this movie would be enjoyable to those who like really bad horror/sci-fi films. I would only recommend it to watch so you could see how stupid it is.
