Burbank, CA, March 31 – Dogis a buddy comedy that follows the misadventures of two former Army Rangers paired against their will on the road trip of a lifetime. Army Ranger Briggs (Channing Tatum) and Lulu (a Belgian Malinois dog) buckle into a 1984 Ford Bronco and race down the Pacific Coast in hopes of making it to a fellow soldier’s funeral on time. Along the way, they’ll drive each other completely crazy, break a small handful of laws, narrowly evade death, and learn to let down their guards in order to have a fighting chance of finding happiness.
My Thoughts about Dog:
From the previews, I thought this was going to be a feel-good comedy – but no. Instead, it explored the darkness and struggles of PTSD and the fact that dogs experience trauma, too. A drama with a few laughs thrown in. Although it is rated PG-13, with its threesome scene, opioid seizure, and dog abuse this is not a movie for kids. Channing Tatum does deliver a great performance and sends you on an emotional journey. The wounds of combat run deep for both man and animal.
The film, arrives on Digital on April 19 from MGM and onto Blu-ray and DVD on May 10 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.
From MGM in association with FilmNation Entertainment, Dog is directed by Reid Carolin & Channing Tatum in their directorial debut, from a screenplay by Carolin and story by Carolin and Brett Rodriguez. In addition to Tatum, the film stars Jane Adams (“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”), Kevin Nash (“Magic Mike”), Q’orianka Kilcher (TV’s “Yellowstone”), Ethan Suplee (“Remember the Titans”), Emmy Raver-Lampman (TV’s “The Umbrella Academy”), and Nicole LaLiberte (TV’s “Dexter”). Gregory Jacobs, Peter Kiernan, and Brett Rodriguez are producers, with Betsy Danbury and Ken Meyer serving as executive producers.
Dog will be available on Digital on April 19 from MGM and on Blu-ray and DVD on May 10 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. The Blu-ray disc features the film in hi-definition and the DVD features the film in standard definition.

SYNOPSIS
Armed with a clear vision and a brazen 78-page plan, Richard Williams (Will Smith) is determined to write his daughters, Venus (Saniyya Sidney) and Serena (Demi Singleton), into history. Training on Compton, California’s abandoned tennis courts – rain or shine – the girls are shaped by their father’s unyielding commitment and their mother’s (Aunjanue Ellis) balanced perspective and keen intuition, defying the seemingly insurmountable odds and prevailing expectations laid before them.
Based on the true story that will inspire the world, “King Richard” follows the uplifting journey of a family whose unwavering resolve and unconditional belief ultimately delivers two of the world’s greatest sports legends.
REVIEW
What a grand story of a parent going above and beyond to see that their children succeed. This is so much more than a movie about sports. King Richard tells the story of tennis superstars, Venus and Serena Williams, by focusing on their father and trainer Richard. Serena and Venus’ dad is a man with a plan, who will not allow his daughters to fail. We found that all the characters in “King Richard” were well-rounded and beautifully executed by each actor/actress. Will Smith sure delivered an exceptional performance in this inspirational movie!

The Suicide Squad
is on 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD!
SYNOPSIS
Welcome to hell—a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out—even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin, and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them.
REVIEW
The plot of this release is that worst of the worst, a team of dangerous, incarcerated supervillains are assembled for a top-secret mission. Arm them and let them loose on the enemy. With lots of action and over-the-top graphics, this movie was a nice change of pace from the docudramas that we normally watch. Marcus and both found its perverse sense of humor funny. If you’re easily offended, this isn’t for you. But if you are looking for a comic book come to life movie that is extremely graphic, with over-the-top comic book-style violence, blood, gore, death, explosions, brutal killings, etc. you’ll enjoy The Suicide Squad. While we enjoyed this gory action-comedy it is too mature for our teenage grandson who had been asking to watch it.
“Warner Bros. has revealed some new character posters for The Suicide Squad. The set of posters came along with the movie’s first trailer. This time around, Task Force X is much larger. And, as the posters promise, viewers shouldn’t get too attached to anyone member of the team. People are going to die. Blood will be spilled. Have a look.” – Daily Superheros
