A Dog's Purpose (2017)
Wonderful move: ignore the professional "critics" and see it!
Great picture, unlike the trash today masquerading as entertainment--no mindless violence, no gratuitous sex, no offensive language, and no political statements. Simply a wonderful story. We saw it with three of our married children and 11 grandchildren of varying ages and all enjoyed it very much.
Individuals in the movie who fall in love actually marry, what a change. In reading reviews by the "critics" they were scathing. Don't rely on the critics. This is a wonderful movie, especially if you like animals.
I've read comments regarding PETA and their accusations. I'm in the livestock business and know a bit about PETA: a completely dishonest and untrustworthy organization. Do not heed their charges and go see a great and enjoyable movie.
Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius (2004)
Great period piece with great values.
A nice, indeed refreshing departure--along the lines of Sea Biscuit, Radio, and Chariots of Fire--from today's largely vacuous movie fare. The generational interplay between grandfather, father, and son together with the undergirding theme that there are things more important than championships, combine to make this a fine film.
This film is not for those whose entertainment tastes demand sex, gratuitous violence, or fast paced action. On the other hand, if you are tired of that type entertainment and enjoyed the above mentioned films, or Master and Commander, you should find this a very worthwhile picture. Unfortunately, it was not well-attended the day I saw it, though I did attend a matinee.
