Pets of the Week June 10, 2019

HoraceFrank Sinatra may have been the original Ol’ Blue Eyes, but once you meet Horace, that nickname will bring to mind this handsome canine instead. He’s a 2-year-old Catahoula mix with unique coloring – a light and dark brown merle pattern with big splashes of white, especially on his face. And those eyes. You simply can’t ignore those amazing ice blue eyes. Horace is a young dog, so he isn’t short on energy and would love to be able to take lots of long walks. He especially enjoys the company of people and wants nothing more than to find a new forever home he can call his own.

BusterIf you needed just one phrase to describe Buster, happy-go-lucky would be a good one. He is simply one happy cat. He loves to play and cuddle, and one of his favorite things to do is pretend any human who holds him is his own personal cat tree. He wants to get up as high as he can, so he can look into your eyes and rub against your face. Buster is, without a doubt, one of the most endearing felines you will ever meet. And with his coal black coat and huge golden-yellow eyes, this 8-month-old cat is just has handsome as he is sweet.

Pets of the Week June 3, 2019

CeCeCeCe is one of those dogs with whom it is simply impossible not to fall in love. Her kind eyes express the gentle soul that lies within, and her ever-present smile shows that she is always happy and eager to please. Cece is a 3-year-old Vizsla-Retriever mix with a reddish-brown coat accented with just a touch of white on her chest. She has plenty of energy and loves to run and play, but she isn’t overly exuberant, making her an ideal family dog. Cece wants more than anything to find her forever home with someone who will love her as much as she’ll love them.

CarlIf you’re a sucker for an orange tabby, there’s no way you’ll be able to resist Carl. This big, handsome boy is one seriously good-looking feline.

Brightburn

Brightburn is not your happy, pg-13 super hero film. We all know the Superman story. The Kents cannot have children. They are gifted from the heavens with a child who grows to become the savior of Man. Yes the Superman story is not subtle in its origins.

Brightburn gives us the Omen twist on that. A couple trying hard to have a child is gifted with a child from the heavens from a glowing red craft. He most definitely does not become mankind’s savior.

Instead, we see a mostly normal child begin to hit puberty and begin to change. Just like the Kents, the Breyer family kept the craft Brandon arrived in in their barn. It begins to glow and affect Brandon in the night. Brandon begins to exhibit powers and abilities beyond the mortal man.

But without the extreme morals of someone brought up by the Kents. A more realistic portrayal of an awkward kid, somewhat picked on who begins to lose touch with regular people. Then embraces being different and being sociopathic to the extreme.

It is made very clear that Brandon has lost almost all traces of human emotions near the end. He is mostly going through the motions feeling superior to everyone.

Do not expect a happy ending.

Brightburn does not shy away from the gore either.

Starring: Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, Jackson A. Dunn, Emmie Hunter, Matt Jones, Meredith Hagner, Becky Wahlstrom, Gregory Alan Williams, Annie Humphrey

JackJack has one goal and one goal only: to find a family that will give him as much love as he offers to others. And that really shouldn’t be an issue, as he is one lovable pooch. Jack is a 2-year-old Retriever mix with a uniquely colored coat – it’s almost blue – light brown eyes, and a smile that lights up every room he enters. As you’d probably expect, he has plenty of energy, so he’s definitely hoping to become part of an active household. He also seems to enjoy the company of other dogs, both big and small, and he is always delighted to meet new people. Jack is waiting to meet YOU.

CaraCara is one of those cats that will win you over, even if you don’t like cats. You simply can’t help but be drawn to her. She wants nothing more than to be held and snuggled, so she can make muffins in your lap and rub her head against your chin. And Cara is just as pretty as she is sweet. She’s a 4-year-old black, white, and butterscotch Calico with huge yellow-green eyes that radiate intelligence and kindness. Won’t you let her win your heart?

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum

John Wick Chapter 3 opens right after the events of John Wick Chapter 2. Chapter 3 further explores the consequences of John’s decisions in the world he left behind and reluctantly rejoined.

We see more of the resources of the High Table in play and that no one is safe from their attention. Everyone plays by their rules or by their leave.

As John works to see one who stands above the High Table, an Adjudicator for the High Table comes to New York to pass Judgement on everyone who has helped John. Bonus, we do get some of John’s origin as well.

John’s quest takes him to Casablanca where we get to see an amazing battle scene with people getting shredded in a coordinated attack by a person and a dog. Repeatedly.

While John is out of town, the Adjudicator’s people work through John’s former support system in New York.

It all comes to a head at the New York Continental and a massive battle against heavily armored troops. We are left open for john Wick 4 – confirmed for a 2021 release.

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburne, Mark Dacascos, Asia Kate Dillon, Lance Reddick, Tobias Segal, Anjelica Huston, Saïd Taghmaoui, Jerome Flynn, Randall Duk Kim
