MOVIE PREVIEW
The Invisible Man
Well this is stalking gone to another level. Elisebeth Moss stars as a woman being tracked and haunted by a man in her past who has found a way to make himself invisible. She nearly goes insane trying to convince those around her this is true.
This of course is nothing new at the movies, but what is new is the CG ability to make it look better than before. The time may be right for this to fly high and be a hit, as we are looking for a new number one at the movies this week.
MOVIE REVIEW
Call Of The Wild
Harrison Ford stars in the re-telling of the classic Jack London novel. Buck the dog doesn't fit in anywhere because of his enormous size, and super canine smarts. He goes on a series of adventures, that are good, bad, and awful looking for his place in the world. He meets a kindly old man in the Yukon of Canada, and they set off on a real adventure together, each hoping to find peace and a place.
This is a wonderful story of two mismatched, yet kindred spirits, of man and beast. They find something in each other no one else can, or did. Buck needs a place to call home, with his own kind, and he needs the vessel to get there. That is the friendship his human friend supplies. Our human needs something to ease the incredible pain of a life gone horribly wrong, and Buck is his answer.
Yes, this is not perfect, but I loved this movie. It was powerful, emotional and if you love dogs like me, you'll love yours a bit more afterwards. Ford is terrific, and the CG Buck is wonderful. This movie has caught some flack for the fake dog, pay no attention. It never seems to be a problem in superhero movies for these critics. Buck is great, and his character is a real hero. This is fine for anyone to see. For the critics hating on this, I have a question. What do you want Hollywood to do? This is a great story, with a big star, told well, with the best of today's technology mixed in. And I must say, hearing Ford recite London's words as narrator is first class.
Very good afternoon at the movies.
