Is it one of those dog movies that makes people cry? Hard to handle those.

Yeah but it’s a happy ending!

Saw A Dogs Way Home. Loved it! Good Family Movie. My dog loved it too.

I believe there's a sequel coming out mid May.

Yeah! I’ll be waiting to see it.

I saw that mentioned, I thought they were bringing back the same movie. So this is an add-on! Thank you guys for clearing that up.

This past weekend we watched "Welcome to Marwen." Exceedingly good, engaging, and not at all what I expected. Based on a true story. If you rent it on DVD (out at Redbox now), watch the Bonus features as the way the doll animation was created is fascinating.

Also watched "Bumblebee," the prequel to the Transformer franchise. Reminded me of the old "Herbie the Lovebug" movies. Very simplistic storyline. Rather distracting -- especially to those familiar with CA locales -- that the kid worked weekends and afterschool at Santa Cruz Boardwalk AND a supposedly Monterey dock house and commuted to both jobs on a moped from her home in San Rafael before she acquired the Transformer car. After that, she'd join her high school buddies up at a party spot in the Redwoods and the extreme NorCal coast. But maybe that's a franchise trademark as I recall in the first Transformers movie Shaia LeBeouf had an easy jog from Hoover Dam to the Las Vegas Strip. Ahhh, cinematic license I guess.

the TV show the Mentalist was like that too! In one day they left Sacramento to go to clear lake, then to SF and then to the San Bernardino mountains and were back in Sacramento that afternoon...and we do not have high speed rail! They were in their SUV!

I loved the Mentalist except for who Red John turned out to be. What a ripoff. Then sorry with the changes that came after it.

Thanks Peep Show.

I stopped watching it about that time. I might go back and pick it up on streaming though
