Movie Review: The Avengers (also titled Avengers Assembled)

I have been to the theatre to see the movie, The Avengers (also called Avengers Assembled in other countries). It is time for me to do a movie review for my readers who depend on me to let them know which movies are good and which aren't. When Loki, Thor's annoying brother from Asgard, decides to take over and rule Earth, Nick Fury gets his group of super heroes together to thwart Loki's evil plans. (I hope in a sequel, they will go after birds--I'll have to bark at them about that.) The superheroes are Ironmen, Thor, the Hulk, Black Widow, Captain America, and Hawkeye The superheroes do not always work together as those of you who have seen Ironman already know. He does not "work and play well with others". However, eventually, they do work together, and you will have to go to see the movie to find out whether they were successful or not since I can't divulge the end of the movie for those who haven't seen it yet. I give this movie 4 paws up, a tail wag, some doggy kisses, and the coveted nose sniff! This would be a 10 out of 10 on the human movie scale. Judging from the amount of humans who have went to see it, I'm guessing a lot of them agree with me on this rating. It is rated PG-13 by the motion picture rating humans which means that general audiences are allowed in to see it, and the below 18 year olds don't have to sneak in. Yes, I know they sneak in...they don't fool us dogs. I know the adults wear Spongebob t-shirts too, but they don't tend to have pajamas with footsies when they go to the theatre.

One Crazy, Zooming Dog!

Today I am going to write about Angel Zoom Smokey, my adopted Siberian Husky sister. I want everyone to know that she is adopted because, although she looks a lot like me, she is one crazy dog! When the humans come home, she goes nuts. I stand back and let the humans enter the house, and I am very polite with my greeting. I let them get in, and then I calmly allow them to pet me and love me. Angel zooms through the house practically knocking the humans down and I strongly suspect they don't enjoy her greeting. If they did, Mommy would not be telling her to calm down. Does she listen? Of course not...she is too busy zooming through the house. I'm not saying that perhaps naming her Angel ZOOM Smokey isn't part of the problem, but I don't really think the humans meant for her to live up the the name literally. She certainly does not live up to the name, ANGEL, literally. Just yesterday, there were 2 dingo bones for us, and I was planning to have both of them, but she took one when the humans gave it to her. A true Angel would have allowed me to have it because angels are supposed to be generous and kind. However, she kept it for herself. I don't know why the humans got her to keep me company. I was happy as an only dog!!!

The "Decepticon" Ride

There is a ride in an amusement park in Europe that looks like a scene from a new Transformers movie. When I first saw it, I thought that the Decepticons had masked themselves to look like a ride; and then, once they got humans on the ride, they went insane with it. Seriously, this ride makes most roller coasters look tame in comparison. I don't know why, but the humans are probably lined up to ride this ride. It is almost like the more dangerous it is, and the more likely it is for the humans to die if there is a mechanical failure; the more the humans enjoy the ride. I've said it many times, the humans are idiots. I doubt if you would see dogs line up to ride this thing. We have more sense. I will share the video for those who want so see this crazy ride for themselves:

Dogs: Not Related to Humans!

I have a news video to share with my readers about humans with blue eyes. According to a study, all blue eyed humans are related. Here is the link:
http://www.aol.com/video/all-blueeyed-people-could-be-related/517355056/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl9%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D158115
This is particularly upsetting to me because I happen to have blue eyes, and you know that eventually, there will be a study saying that we blue eyed dogs are related to the humans. As a proud dog, I do not want to be related to the humans. Humans are idiots, and we dogs laugh at all the silly things they do. I like humans, but having them as "family" (except by adoption) is a different story. Of course it isn't as bad as being related to a cat, but it is still embarrassing to us dogs.

Mowing and Landscaping Crocodile Elvis!

I have a web address to share with my readers today involving a crocodile named Elvis in Australia. Elvis is an enterprising crocodile who plans to start his own lawn service. This is why he needed to drag a lawn mower into his lagoon. I hope his new business does well, and I think he has chosen wisely because, to my knowledge, there are no crocodiles running lawn services or doing landscaping or gardening. Besides, if he goes up to a human's door to ask if they want to use his lawn service, after one look at his teeth, my guess is that most of the humans would hire him. I know I would. I have some good teeth, but my teeth still aren't quite as big and powerful as the ones on a crocodile. If he would be willing to dress up as an Elvis impersonator while he mows, he could probably make a fortune. There are lots of Elvis impersonaltors, but I don't think there is one crocodile Elvis impersonator. My personal congratulations to this enterprising reptile. I hope his new business does well!

Movie Review: The Pirates: Band of Misfits

Yesterday I went to the theatre so that I could do a movie review of The Pirates: Band of Misfits for my blog readers. This story is about the Pirate Captain who is trying to get the most booty so he can win the contest for the honor of being the "Pirate of the Year". There is stiff competition for this coveted prize. The Pirate Captain signs up for the competition on Blood Island, and then leaves the island to sail the seas in search of treasure. On the search, he finds a scientific vessel and meets Charles Darwin who persuades him that he can find the treasure he seeks in London which is where Queen Victoria lives and she hates pirates. However, the Pirate Captain is willing to face the danger in order to win the Pirate of the Year Award. I am a big fan of the Pirates movie franchise, but I must admit that Johnny Depp's performance as the Pirate Captain was not up to his usual brilliant performance, and they did not seem to remember that his name was Jack Sparrow. I can only assume that is a problem with the writers who sometimes forget the character's names. I was also a bit disappointed that the movie gave such a big part to a bird. As my regular readers know, I am not a fan of birds and I think they cause most of the problems in the world. However, the bird was kind of cute so I am making an exception for her in the movie. By the way, her name is Polly. I didn't hear her talk any which shows that she is a nice bird who isn't one of those diva types who gets angry if she doesn't get a lot of lines. 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 rated PG, but I think most parents would not have much objection to their children seeing this movie.

Back to the Future With Demon Flash Bandit

Evidently, some physicists think the future can affect the past, and they are doing quantum entanglement experiments in order to check out this theory. You can read more about this at:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/30/quantum-entanglement-experiment-future-past_n_1465517.html?ref=science&icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl16%7Csec3_lnk1%26pLid%3D156806
This tells me that the scientists need to spend less time in the lab and more time at the theatre (or in front of the television). This has already been shown in many movies, but Back to the Future II comes to mind as one of the best examples. After Marty McFly travelled into the past in the first movie (Back to the Future), when he came back to his time, things were different. In the second movie, he had to travel to the future to change the past. This is not only far more entertaining than an experiment in a lab, but even regular humans can understand it--not like all that scientific goobledigook that the scientists are always talking about. If you have not seen the Back to the Future trilogy, I suggest you watch it in its entirity. They are good movies, and it explains physics to regular people. All you have to do is find yourself a Flux capacitor and a vehicle that will go 88 mph because that is the speed that sends you into the past or future.

For those who read my blog yesterday, I want my humans to bid on the Monkeemobile so I can turn it into the Demonflashbanditmobile. I am happy to annouce that this whole quantum entanglement idea shows that, even if I don't get the car now, at a later time in the future, I can change the past so I can get the car. I can already see myself driving the Demonflashbanditmobile. Life is good!
