Movie Review: Snow White and the Huntsman

Today I am going to do a movie review of Snow White and the Huntsman. Obviously, this movie is based on the classic fairy tale, Snow White. In the movie, Snow White's mother died when she was very young. Then her dad married her evil stepmother, and the stepmother killed her dad, and took over the kingdom. She had magic powers and a mirror that always told her she was the "fairest in the land". Snow White was imprisoned in the castle. When she got older, and the mirror said she was fairer than the Queen, the Queen wanted to kill her. Fortunately for Snow White, she managed to escape. The Queen summoned the Huntsman and sent him to find Snow White. The Huntsman has to make the choice to help Snow White or do what the Queen ordered him to do. The movie did not leave out the dwarfs, but they were not named Sleepy, Doc, Sneezy, etc. I won't tell you how the movie turned out and spoil the ending, but I think Snow White would have been better off if she had dogs watching out for her. I always get nervous when humans are the ones you have to depend on....we dogs know how pathetic they are! There were a number of birds killed in this movie and I had to stand up and cheer. It isn't everyday that a dog gets to watch a bird killing movie! I give this movie 4 paws up and a tail wag which is a 7 out of 10 on the human movie scale. It is a very enjoyable movie, and I would recommend it to viewers who enjoy fairy tales.

Practicing for Halloween!

I want to wish all my readers a Happy Halloween! I have personally been busy getting everything ready for my annual trick or treating marathon. Halloween has to be one of the best holidays of the year because it is all about the candy, and I love candy! I want to remind all the dogs who will be out collecting candy to be safe--watch out for cars, and be sure and use your best sad faces. The humans are suckers for a dog's "begging face". You'll get more candy than you ever thought possible. It does not hurt to practice the begging face in the mirror before you go out. A dog can never get too much practice when candy is riding on the outcome of the look. I've got to go now. I've still got some practicing to do although I can't imagine the humans ever being able to turn me down....I"m going to hit the candy jackpot tonight!

Chicken Dance--Not Just for Fun

Today I am writing about a dance that has been around for years, but being a dog, I just learned about it today thanks to my exhaustive Internet research. Yes, that is correct--I am a very devout researcher for my blog. I've been known to spend 10 or even 15 minutes a day researching a topic for my blog. Today's topic is about the chicken dance. Chickens are part of the bird family although they aren't successful members of that family because they can't fly. I can imagine how they are introduced as the losers at the Bird family reunions. Hi Wally Wren, have you met cousin Clyde Chicken....you can talk to him anytime since he can't fly away (inevitable snickers from the rest of the family). I will say one thing good about chickens. They taste good! I'm sure you are thinking, Demon Flash Bandit, if chickens are such losers why are is there a chicken dance? I really wish I could answer that question, but despite my genius, I have no idea. The humans are the ones who do the chicken dance. I have never seen a dog do the dance so who knows what the humans are thinking. I'm not even sure if humans have the intellectual capacity for thinking. Anyway, the humans seem to like to do the chicken dance, and they look very silly when they are doing it so you would think they would stop it. Perhaps they need to have a mirror show them what they look like when they are doing it. I suspect that humans think they look cool when they really look very uncool.

I think this dance might be part of the birds' ultimate plan for world domination. They know that they can put their other evil plans into effect while the humans are busy dancing. I think this is a situation that needs to be monitored because if my suspicions are correct, there will be other silly dances to keep the humans occupied....the turkey dance, the duck dance, even the goose dance. As a dog, I must be ever vigilent in my watch on the birds. I am grateful that I learned to speak bird as a puppy so I can listen in on their evil plans. Please, if you are a human reading this, don't get so involved in the chicken dance that you let the birds take over the planet. I know it is hard for you to focus on important stuff, but try--the planet is depending on you!
