A Trilogy of Reviews for Groundhog’s Day Part 2
Now this movie is much different from Part 1. This is a movie about a man and his dog in the near future. This is a new type of review I call an “A thought-dream of future events” style.
I’m going to share a little Howard Tuttleman secret with you. I’ve never tried dog-food, but I’m highly considering it because of this movie. In the future, when we are scavengers and have to sur-vive, I may have to do things that I’m not normally inclined to. This includes sharing a meal with my dog-panion as M. Gibson does in this movie. The reason that I’m so casually admitting this is because I’d like to warn you, the reader out there, that my genious detects a 5-SKULL future-nightmare on the horizon and this movie depicts it very well.
Some may think this is just one of those end-of-the-world-drive-around-and-stuff-blows-up-movies, but it’s not. Way back when whenever this movie was made, they knew that there was going to be an oil crisis and a big war and from what I hear-around, that’s kind of like what’s going on….right about now, and it’s the type of major event that I’ve been preparing for, A FULL-ON URBAN-WAR-ZONE. But like I said, it’s just a warning.
In this movie, the dog does such great tricks. It’s like him and the Road-Warrior are of the same mind. Oh how they trick people together. Unfortunately the Dog-Warrior eventually takes an arrow for M. when they are attacked by ogre-ish Harley-Bopper types.
Unlike in Flight of the Navigator where the boy chooses a space-ship to replace the bond that he had with his dog, M. chooses a savage boy who he treats like a dog. Actually, now that I think about it, this dog-boy catches frisbees just like the dog from F.O.T.N. Amazing! I think I’ve just mined a great big hunk of brain-gold on this one! LOL! But seriously, I will look into frisbees as ammunition later. WHOA! I mean as in not now, this is NOT the end of the review. I almost submitted by habit!
I give this movie 5 stars because I feel it is my destiny. Later.
