Underdog [2007]

starring: Jim Belushi, John Slattery, Amy Adams, Jason Lee
directed by: Frederik Du Chau

June 16, 2008
Any film that comes with a U certificate and stars talking animals can usually be guaranteed to be slightly lame - flimsy plot, rubbish script and duff acting. Not here! Underdog is tons of fun. Enough slapstick to keep 4 year olds happy, enough toilet humour to keep 7 year olds happy and enough wink-nudge one-liners to make the grown-ups giggle and it's all helped along by the brilliantly droll voicing of Underdog by Jason Lee of My Name is Earl fame. And at not much over an hour's running time, it's the perfect length of time for a family film. Heaps of fun!!

The plot is very good, with a surprise twist at the end. Belushi proves in this he can act and act well....can't believe this film is 14 years old. More films like this please Mr Belushi.

Snow Buddies [2008] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Lothaire Bluteau, Whoopi Goldberg, John Kapelos, Molly Shannon, Cynthia Stevenson
directed by: Robert Vince

My attention was drawn to this film after reading of the poor treatment of the animals (dogs) on the set. The American Humane Society that monitor the treatment of animals on film sets found that several of the dogs had contracted the Parvo virus which lead to several animals having to be destroyed.

I think if the film is good or bad is besides the point. I could not show young children this film knowing that the cast were treated so poorly. Shame on Disney for distributing this 'family' film.

All of the above is true and can be verified on the American Humane a quote from the press release is below.

Hoodwinked [2006] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Glenn Close, Chazz Palminteri, David Ogden Stiers, Patrick Warburton, Andy Dick
directed by: Cory Edwards

May 02, 2006
A light-hearted animated film set in the woods at the bottom of some mountains. People and creatures with varying levels of intelligence (the bear and the little squirrel thing are my favourites) supply the laughs and of course progress the story at a good pace.

I think this film is suitable for the majority of people. I can't understand why it hasn't been distributed more widely.

Homer and Eddie

starring: James Belushi, Jim Mapp, John Waters, Robert Glaudini, James Thiel
directed by: Andrei Konchalovsky

January 27, 2003
This film is great, a little different from Whoopi's other films like; Jumpin' Jack Flash and Burglar. This film was really good it kept me clued to my chair all the way through. The chemistry is great and so was the acting, overall i give it 4 stars. Well worth checking out but may be hard to get.
