The 2000s Movie Project: 'My Dog Skip' The Shocking Secrets of a Gentle Family Dog Movie
How can I get people to read a critical review of a 2000 family drama about a dog? I’ve written about unpopular topics before, but I cannot imagine one as unpopular, forgettable and easy to ignore as My Dog Skip. This 2000 release starring a young Frankie Muniz, Kevin Bacon as his dad, and Luke Wilson as his local sports hero, has been completely lost to time. If anyone remembers My Dog Skip or if the film has a legacy it’s probably the focus on the dog and a toilet in the ad campaign.

Movie Review: 'The Art of Racing in the Rain' Is Yet Another Bad Dog Movie
The spate of mediocre dog movies in 2019 is threatening to turn me into a cat person. A Dog’s Journey and A Dog’s Way Home are so interchangeably forgettable that, even though I wrote about both movies, I can’t recall how to tell them apart a mere few months later. I can recall that both attempted to pull tears from my eyes with the emotional equivalent of pliers but beyond that, both films are just unmemorable and mediocre.

10 Famous Movie Pets Everyone Loved. Top Story - September 2018.
When I was little, the only movie I wanted to watch was Homeward Bound. With few exceptions, you could only get me to watch anything else by replacing the beloved Shadow, Sassy, and Chance with other famous movie pets. As long as there was a dog on the screen, I was happy.

Best Animal Documentaries on Netflix
As humans, we are basically animals—we're just a more intelligent form. And while all humans are living on the same planet, we're also living with other animals. From reptiles, mammals, birds, fish, and many more, our beautiful animal neighbors certainly bring life and make the planet so much more colorful. While some of us are terrified of certain animals, we still have to appreciate each and every single one of them, because they definitely benefit the planet. You may not think an alligator has any benefits, but it does... actually, probably not.

Best Nature Documentaries on Netflix to Stream Right Now
Most of us don't get to explore the vast deserts and tundras of the world. We don't get to dive into the deep ocean or climb the highest peaks. The dense forests and jungles remain out of our reach. Thankfully, though, there are some amazing filmmakers and nature photographers who do those things for us.

Best Dog Movies of All Time. Top Story - July 2017.
There has always been something special about the relationship you have with your dog - something you cannot simply put into words. The world is full of stories that portray the beautiful bond between man and his best friend; stories of love, care and loyalty. Each story makes one marvel at the love of a dog; a mere animal who has the ability to give back as much as he takes. So what if you don't speak the same language as them? There are signs and gestures only both of you understand and that's what makes your bond so special.
