Movie Review: American Reunion

I'll admit that I wasn't sure that this movie would be a good sequel to the American Pie movies largely because there have been so many "direct to dvd" movies made from this franchise. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it was very funny, and I enjoyed it. No, it is not "best picture" quality, but it is a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours, and I think most people who like the American Pie series will enjoy it. The class of 99 gets together for a reunion after about 13 years. One of my human brothers was in the class of 98 so Mommy still thinks of that age group as "kids", but I suppose since most of them are in the 30's now, they aren't exactly children anymore. Of course, if Mommy admits how old they are, that would make her age much older too, and most of the humans don't seem to enjoy getting older. Anyway, I recommend this movie if you want to see a comedy in which you can just sit back and laugh. I do not recommend it for young viewers because there are some scenes that would not be wise for them to see. I give this movie 4 paws up which is a 6 out of 10 on the human movie scale.

Tin Tin Not Nominated for an Oscar

The movies that are up for Oscars have been announced, and as usual, this dog is not particularly pleased with the choices. I'm not saying that the choices aren't good movies. However, when Puss and Boots--a movie starring a cat gets a nomination when Tin Tin--a movie starring a dog does not, you know that the Oscars are not being chosen properly. Evidently, cats have taken over the process. Although I don't mind cats, they can't be trusted to be impartial or unbiased. It is just their nature. This is why I don't watch the Oscars, and don't bother to keep up with who wins. When I know Tin Tin isn't going to be chosen, why would I bother to watch. Usually, they choose humans, and humans are never as good in the acting profession as dogs. I am personally planning another Demon Flash Bandit boycott of the Oscars. I won't go to them, watch them, or accept one when I'm nominated. Okay, maybe I would accept one if they offer me one. It would be one of the few times when the Academy gets it right!

Dog Finally Wins Golden Globe Award!

I have written many blogs saying that dogs need to be nominated for more movie awards. Thus, it did my heart good to see Uggie the dog with a paw on the Golden Globe award. The dog won the award for being in The Artist. Wait a minute, I think my secretary (a human) said that she doesn't think the dog actually won the award....that can't be. I see the dog's paw on the award with my own blue eyes. If the dog didn't win, then the humans obviously did not give the award to the proper winner. Uggie should have won the award. Without Uggie, I'm sure it would have been a complete failure. Even when a dog isn't in a movie, you know they are behind the scenes showing the humans how to act. Let's face it, the humans can barely get up in the morning if they don't have a dog. Anyway, I want to conpawtulate Uggie for winning the award, because as far as this dog is concerned, Uggie won, and my opinion is all that matters. I don't care what those silly show business types think!

Not All Peanuts are Edible

I have no idea which humans have been put in charge of naming things, but the one who named Styrofoam peanuts either had a very odd sense of humor or they were having a serious lack of touch with reality. Real peanuts are quite tasty and this dog likes to eat them, but Styrofoam peanuts aren't even edible. I'm not talking about the inedible stuff that is quite tasty, but the humans don't want a dog to eat--you know like a dead bird. Those Styrofoam things could make you sick if you eat them. Why the idiot who named them called them peanuts if beyond me. Maybe it was just way past their lunch time and they were really hungry, but I still think it is a stupid name.


For those of you who saw the movie, Bolt, he was a super dog who had his powers taken by Styrofoam peanuts--they were like Kryptonite for Superman. Bolt even had his paw bleed once he was exposed to them! If you haven't seen the movie, Bolt, you should. It was a great movie, and got this dog's 4 paws up and a happy tail wag.

The stupidest thing about the Styrofoam peanuts is that they are routinely used in packages, and I have yet to meet a human who likes them when they open a package since they tend to fall out and have to be picked up. If they used real peanuts, I would eat the ones that fall and there would be no problem, but those things taste awful. You would think they are made from Styrofoam, which might explain why they are called Styrofoam peanuts. I guess one part of the name is accurate and one part is totally and completely inaccurate. If I knew who was in charge of giving them such a stupid name, I would fire them from their naming job. Yes, you heard me, I would fire them. They are obviously being paid too much for what they do.
