Pets of the Week October 23, 2017

He’s the sweet, shy, mysterious guy who can make women swoon, but he’s also an active and playful pup who loves to wrestle, run and focus on fun. Skylar is a medium-sized, white Terrier mix with an enormous love for his doggie pals. Skylar would thrive with a canine friend and a family who understands that he wants a little time to know he can trust you. Give him some time and lots of love and you’ll see him flourish into the happy dog he was born.

Just like the stealth panther, Midnight is slow and quiet while she moves from her bed to the secret nook in her cat house. Her disposition is subtle, and her purr is barely audible, but she definitely speaks to a crowd with her black beauty and expressive golden eyes. Proud and refined, Midnight prefers a quiet home that will allow her time to herself as well as those moments she prefers to sleep in your arms. At just 1-year-old, she is a gentle, tenderhearted girl who looks forward to a long life with her new family.

Happy Death Day

Happy Death Day can be summed up with Groundhog Day with a slasher. This is not a bad thing.

Just like Groundhog Day, the protagonist, Tree – yes that is her name, is not sympathetic at first. But his changes as she goes through the day over and over.

The most annoying thing in the movie – her ringtone. And since the day is repeating, we hear the damn thing over and over.

The movie opens with Tree waking up hungover in some guy’s dorm room. She quickly leaves and returns to her sorority house. She interacts with her roommate and other members and goes to class. She is of course having an affair with a professor. All of this is basically setup to introduce us to the key characters in her life, the events we will be seeing variations of, and her crappy demeanor.

Then she gets killed. By someone in a Baby mask. Apparently, her college’s mascot is a baby. So there are a lot of people out and about in similar masks.

She wakes up and repeats the day. And she dies.

At this point, she begins working to figure out who is after her.

There is no real gore. It is a PG-13 rated movie, after all. But it was a nice fun movie. Not a sequel. Not a remake.

Starring: Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, Ruby Modine, Charles Aitken, Rachel Matthews

Blade Runner 2049


Blade Runner 2049 picks up decades after the original Blade Runner. You do not need to have seen any of the cuts of the original film to watch 2049.

That said, 2049 is a slow slog. It is pretty and I did not have any issues with the actors’ performances. It just took a long time to get anywhere.

A long time.

I would wait for this one to hit Video on Demand.

I imagine there will be an extended, final cut at some point.

Starring: Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas, Dave Bautista, Robin Wright, Sylvia Hoeks, Jared Leto

Pets of the Week October 16, 2017

Harris is a handsome 10-month-old Carolina dog who’s looking for someone to join taking on the world. This light buckskin-colored guy loves spending time investigating the grass, the trees, the birds and, oh cool…there’s a leaf. Intelligent and a quick learner, Harris knows how to sit perfectly, go to his kennel at bedtime, and ask for his bathroom break. Eager for knowledge, he’s always ready to learn more. Like young lads sometimes do, he’ll try to get away with things here and there, but when you ask him to mind his manners, he’ll gladly oblige. Warm and sensitive with a healthy dose of spunk, Harris is a vivacious dog who’s full of life.

Snugglebug Simba is a mellow fella that’s in search of someone who appreciates a true gentleman. Calm, yet playful enough to enjoy batting his ball around the room, he’s looking for a home where he’s the only cat to receive your undivided love and attention. Because of his previous life as a stray, Simba has FIV. Don’t let that worry you though because he has big plans for his future with a family who adores him. He won’t ask for much, just total devotion which he’ll return tenfold. Determined to show you he’s the world’s best cat, Simba will shower you with total adoration.

Pets of the Week October 9, 2017

Lito is a quiet, slightly shy fella looking for a home with a calm atmosphere, relaxing music, a soft couch for lounging, and someone who will fawn over his perky yet flopsy ears. He’s a little reserved when he first meets you, so it’s good to be patient…but don’t be fooled. Lito also has a rascally side that comes out when he endlessly wrestles and plays tag with his canine buddies. A spectacular pal to all, this year-old smoky black Shepherd mix easily wins the hearts of humans and canines alike.

You’ll never lack in conversation with Martie by your side. Branded with the title, Queen of Chit Chat, Martie loves to talk about this, that and everything else. Quite the soprano, her lovely voice can also carry a happy little tune that will cause you to join her in song and sing to the masses. This 6?-?month?-?old’s confidence and lack of modesty has led her to win debate competitions, karaoke contests, and of course, all sorts of beauty pageants. Aiming to be the next news anchor for Animal Planet, Martie will always talk about the latest and the greatest.
