Dog Reviews

We haven’t seen Tatum on screen for five years and Dog quintessentially proves why we love him.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Sep 23, 2023

Channing Tatum on a road trip with a dog? What more could you ask! It could of been deeper & sure it has some weird moments but I enjoyed myself

Full Review | Jul 25, 2023

Dog may be unimaginative and unsurprising, but it still offers a simple, lovely story, boasting enough authenticity and genuine emotion to captivate any viewer.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jul 25, 2023

The tone and themes are incongruent with the overall storytelling.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 5, 2022

... An elegantly and sparsely written film, told in a fairly straightforward linear fashion, about a man and his dog, even if that man and that dog are trauma survivors who can barely tolerate each other for a good chunk of the film.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 28, 2022

It’s simply one of those movies that has enough heart to be entertaining in the moment, but you’ll forget about within a month. If you like Channing Tatum and cute dogs, you’ll probably enjoy it fine.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 26, 2022

Movie star Channing Tatum and co-director Channing Tatum are a match made in Heaven. I would’ve spent 5 hours with this movie dog.

Full Review | Jul 6, 2022

Dog mightn't convincingly teach its underlying formula new tricks, doesn't always have much bite and rarely knows what to stop shaking its tail at; however, even just for its 101 minutes, it's an easy-enough movie to sit and stay with.

Full Review | Jun 25, 2022

There's nothing particularly surprising, audacious or disruptive in Dog, yet it turns out to be a noble, simple and effective film. Yes, a crowdpleaser all the way. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 23, 2022

A film with many ideas, though instead of becoming a disparate mess, it transforms a few Hollywood clichés into an introspective, sentimental, and pleasant experience. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 23, 2022

Appearances can be deceiving. Dog, a wild journey, goes beyond the classic story of a protagonist and their best friend sharing emotional, funny, inspiring and life-changing adventures. [Full review in Spanish]

For canine lovers, Dog presumably will be a hit, well-intentioned message and all. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Jun 23, 2022

It was like being on a cathartic road trip where somethings are familiar and predictable and other things catch you off guard.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jun 14, 2022

A moving comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | May 16, 2022

Dog goes astray when it tries to nyuk it up.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 16, 2022

It is that rarest of things: A mid-budget adult drama released by a major studio that actually works, despite its reliance on formula, due to how deeply felt it is on the part of everyone involved.

Full Review | May 10, 2022

Older moviegoers have had fewer and fewer choices these days, so let me recommend this heartfelt story of two battered, bruised U.S. Army Rangers.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | May 9, 2022

Heart-warming story about how a difficult dog and a damaged war veteran transform each other.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | May 3, 2022

Dog is ultimately a movie about healing, about letting go and moving on; about learning to deal with the traumas of the past and the setbacks of the present.

Full Review | Apr 6, 2022

A heartfelt and moving depiction of two veterans who rely on one another to heal their traumas and recover. It's funny, engaging and moving. Loved seeing Kevin Nash!

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 4, 2022

‘Dog’ Review: Man and Beast Hit the Road

In his directing debut, Channing Tatum plays an Army Ranger on a healing journey with a canine comrade.

Share full article

By A.O. Scott

Road comedies that pair an animal and a movie star are a minor genre unto themselves. The best examples, in my opinion, involve Clint Eastwood and an orangutan named Clyde , though the recent one with Eastwood and a rooster wasn’t bad. Channing Tatum is a different kind of screen presence — sweeter, chattier, bulkier — and in “Dog,” which he directed with Reid Carolin, he amiably shares the screen with (spoiler alert!) a dog.

She is a Belgian Malinois named Lulu (played by three talented canines), and she has served in the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan. So has Tatum’s character, Jackson Briggs, a former Army Ranger living in a cabin in the Northwest. A history of brain injuries has kept him out of action, but he hopes that a good word from his commanding officer will give him a chance to go back overseas.

To make that happen, Jackson agrees to accompany Lulu from Fort Lewis, Wash., to Nogales, Ariz. The reason for the road trip is the funeral of her handler, a Ranger whose death in a car crash haunts Jackson and the film. While “Dog” is a man-beast buddy movie, it’s also preoccupied with grief, trauma and the challenges of post-combat life. Lulu and Jackson are both wounded warriors who must learn to trust each other and help each other heal.

Though much is made of Lulu’s ferociousness, the film’s humor is gentle and mostly unthreatening. She chews up the seats in Jackson’s already battered Ford Bronco, disrupts his potential threesome with a pair of Tantra practitioners in Portland and causes an unfortunate ruckus in a San Francisco hotel. Jackson has variously awkward, hostile and touching human encounters, notably with New Age cannabis growers and a resentful, racist police officer.

“Dog” is unabashedly sentimental. A movie about a dog and a soldier could hardly be otherwise. Luckily, Tatum’s self-deprecating charm and Carolin’s script keep the story on the tolerable side of maudlin. It’s also circumspect about Lulu and Jackson’s experiences of war, which is vaguely understood as something horrible but also glorious. Neither one is as complex as a real dog or a real man would be, which makes the movie an easy watch, but at the cost of some credibility. It’s friendly and eager to please, but it won’t quite hunt.

Dog Rated PG-13. More barking than biting. Running time: 1 hour 30 minutes. In theaters.

An earlier version of this article misstated the state where the road trip in “Dog” begins. The starting point is in Washington, not in Oregon.

‘Dog’ Review: Channing Tatum’s Directorial Debut Is a Sweet Road Trip About Two Wounded Soldiers

A buddy comedy about the mutually life-altering friendship that forms between Channing Tatum and a Belgian Malinois during a wild road trip from Montana to Arizona, “ Dog ” is the kind of movie that will divide audiences into two uneven camps: Those surprised to discover that it’s actually good, and those disappointed to learn that it’s not astoundingly great. The first group, all of them fools, walks into this thing expecting to see a goofy jock take his “steroidal puppy” screen persona to its logical conclusion. The second group, having been sanctified by the divine light of masterpieces like “She’s the Man” and “Magic Mike XXL,” readies themselves for another chance to see one of the most unpretentious movie stars of his generation leverage his meathead physique into a perfect vessel for exploring the softer side of masculinity.

“Dog” vindicates both crowds to varying degrees, as this zany and satisfying tear-jerker is possibly the most Channing Tatum thing that anyone has ever made (he even co-directed it alongside his producing partner Reid Carolin ). Some aspects of the film reflect his limitations — the majority of them crystallize his charms. But even the movie’s wackiest and most juvenile digressions can’t disguise the fact that its bark is worse than its (very tender) bite, as the real power of this “Dog” is ultimately rooted in its star’s undying belief that a man is only as strong as the bond he shares with his best friend.

The bond that Briggs (Tatum) shares with his brothers-in-arms sure isn’t doing the trick anymore. A former Army Ranger forced to retire from active duty after sustaining a series of brain injuries (“The Army has no place for liabilities,” his ex-Captain says), Briggs is on his own at the start of this movie. Carolin’s script can be frustratingly broad when it comes to its empty shell of a hero, but the empty bottles scattered across the floor of his bedroom paint a clear enough picture, and it seems like he isn’t the only one who hasn’t been getting the support he needs from his fellow Rangers or the Army at large; his war buddy Rodriguez has just crashed his car into a tree at 120mph, and you wonder how many of the uniformed men who gather at his memorial had actually bothered to call the guy when he was in crisis. Then again, it’s unlikely that Rodriguez ever asked for help: He was a soldier, and soldiers are taught to wear a brave face no matter how much they’re hurting inside.

But Briggs doesn’t give a damn that the Army doesn’t want him anymore, or that going back on active duty might be the single worst thing he could do to quiet the ringing in his ears. He needs a family, and the only way he’s going to be allowed back in the circle is if he agrees to drive Rodriguez’s traumatized service dog — a former Army Ranger, herself — down to his funeral service in Arizona before leaving her at the military base where she’s due to be euthanized.

Will Briggs decide to save Lulu’s life? Will Lulu be able to save his in return? Will there be an absolutely demented scene that, impossible as it sounds, somehow manages to bridge the gap between “Scent of a Woman” and Samuel Fuller’s “White Dog”? The answer to all of those questions is obvious, but this sweet and semi-gentle movie takes great pleasure in the process of asking them in wildly ridiculous ways. While “Dog” is far more genial than laugh-out-loud funny — Carolin and Tatum maintain the loose comic tone of an old war story as they alternate between slapstick humor and sudden dashes of raw tension — it’s also very much a road trip movie at heart, and one that uses the genre as permission to put its characters in all sorts of wacky situations.

“Dog” makes time for all of the basic shtick you’d expect in a comedy about a large adult man chauffeuring his dead friend’s high-maintenance pet for more than 1,500 miles, and muttering to himself turns out to be one of Tatum’s many hidden talents. Still, the dynamic between Briggs and the four-legged passenger he cages up in the backseat of his 1984 Bronco is loaded from the start.

For starters, they served together. The last time Briggs saw Lulu — who’s played by very good girls Britta, Lana, and Zuza — she was mauling people half to death in one of the Middle Eastern countries that Briggs is so desperate to see again (he doesn’t seem to care which country it will be, or why American troops might be sent there). He knows to be a little scared of her, even if he’s forgotten how much she hates being touched behind the ears, but it will take him some time to recognize the pain behind Lulu’s eyes, or to see himself in the muzzled frown of a dog being left to die now that she’s no longer fit for combat. In fact, the first pit stop Briggs makes on the trip is at a firing range, where he pops off a few practice rounds without paying any mind to the fact that a single gunshot might be enough to trigger Lulu’s PTSD.

Briggs’ injuries are less defined — a symptom of his denial that positions the movie around him to let the Army off the hook — but if “Dog” shares its protagonist’s ugly indifference towards the specifics of America’s wars, it isn’t shy about the soul-poisoning cost of fighting in them. While Carolin and Tatum stop short of condemning the Army outright, they come a hell of a lot closer to it than you’d expect from a movie that opens with the strong whiff of military propaganda. It’s clear that Briggs and Lulu are both sick in their own ways, and it’s telling that even the silliest of the detours along their road trip find them running into healers of one kind or another.

A stop in Portland — a city whose crunchiness the film exaggerates to such a ridiculous degree that Fox News viewers will probably take it at face value — climaxes with Lulu cock-blocking Briggs’ very special night with a pair of sexy tantric gurus. A pit stop on the way to San Francisco leads to an ambush that threatens to send the whole movie in a much darker direction, but a sequence that starts with some genuine suspense is eventually defused in the most delightful possible way (no spoilers, but Jane Adams and WWE legend/“Magic Mike XXL” icon Kevin Nash will be tough to beat as the year’s best movie couple). Later, when Briggs poses as a blind veteran in order to snag a free room at a fancy hotel, the film’s most broadly comedic episode crashes to a halt with its most uncomfortably sobering moment, as Lulu bites a doctor in a scene that confronts a fuller range of the damage that she and Briggs have brought home with them.

It’s hard to describe these seriocomic setpieces without robbing them of their “what the hell is happening right now?” fun, but let’s just say that a movie as off the leash as “Dog” would be a total disaster if not for Tatum’s ability to maintain its tail-wagging tone. He may not push himself very hard in this role (even by the end, Briggs only amounts to a rough idea of a person), but it’s always fun to see an actor who so fully understands how to wield his own appeal.

At heart, this is a film that just wants some good pats, and it’s willing to do whatever it takes to get them. That eagerness creates an occasional clash between the yucks and the tears — as you might expect from something that marries the canine hijinks of “Turner & Hooch” with the hilarity of euthanasia, PTSD, and combat veteran suicide — and it leaves Carolin and Tatum a bit off-balance when the movie finally makes its feeble bid to flesh out Briggs’ backstory. The nice stuff is a little tense, the tense stuff is a little nice, and the waterworks at the end amount to more of a leaky faucet than a busted reservoir because of the film’s unwillingness to lean too hard in any particular direction. And yet, “Dog” builds to a surprising degree of clarity on at least one point, even if it’s argued with a non-partisan softness: These two former Army Rangers are only able to Be All They Can Be because of what they become to each other.

MGM will release “Dog” in theaters on Friday, February 18.

Muzzle review – Aaron Eckhart out-acted by German shepherd in cop-mutt thriller

Eckhart can’t match his canine co-star (with titanium teeth) in this shonky and forgettable police thriller

N o offence to Aaron Eckhart , but “Sad Aaron” doesn’t quite have the same emotional thwack to the soft parts as “Sad Keanu”. Like John Wick, Muzzle begins with a dead doggie, and Eckhart plays LAPD officer Jake Rosser, an army veteran with PTSD; his only meaningful relationship is with his K9 partner, a German shepherd called Ace. There’s an excruciating scene setting up their deep bond, Rosser musing on the misuse of the word “literally” as he drives to work, Ace listening dutifully in the passenger seat next to him.

When Ace is killed in a shootout, Rosser finds himself embroiled in a police scandal. Footage emerges from the crime scene of him head-butting a paramedic who insists – quite reasonably, you might think – on treating human casualties first. After a few sessions with the police therapist, Rosser is back on the job and out for revenge. His new partner is Socks, an aggressive mutt traumatised by an undercover job which involved her being fitted with titanium teeth.

The point, of course, is that Rosser is as broken as the dog he’s training. The problem for Eckhart is that with his deadly dull performance he is out-acted by his canine co-star. It’s fair to say the uncredited canine actor playing Socks does a better job of channelling damaged vulnerability, with sad eyes peering over her muzzle. Eckhart’s gritted-teeth facial expression – like he needs to get to a loo fast – doesn’t come close.

Muzzle really is a ropey character study, and a pretty shonky thriller to boot, with a bunch of incoherent plotlines muddled in – from Chinese gangsters to the fentanyl crisis and dog trafficking. I have to admit that my opinion of the film dipped even further when Rosser begins a pointless romance with a nurse who lives in his apartment block; this is Mia, played by Penelope Mitchell, who is 23 years younger than Eckhart. The dogs give the film a touch of class, but as a whole this is forgettable.

A Rideshare Driver and Her Tiny Dog Battle a Stalker in ‘The Stranger’

KILLER INSTINCT

“The Killing” creator Veena Sud’s Quibi series turned Hulu horror movie pits scream queen Maika Monroe and a Yorkie against a very creepy Dane DeHaan.

Laura Bradley

Senior Entertainment Reporter

Veena Sud’s goal in making The Stranger might’ve been to tell a story about toxic masculinity, but this horror movie also doubles as a cautionary tale about the perils of a tech-driven gig economy. Played by the modern scream queen Maika Monroe , our poor protagonist, Clare, is a rideshare driver and L.A. transplant who is just trying to earn enough money to stay afloat while she reaches for her dreams of becoming a writer. Then, she picks up a pale little freak named Carl E.—played by the ever-creepy Dane DeHaan —and gets way more than she bargained for.

The Stranger first premiered in 2020 as a Quibi series. After the “quick-bite” platform imploded, Sud—best known as the creator of AMC’s The Killing adaptation—re-cut her original work into a feature film, which hits Hulu on Monday for its second act. Throughout the film, Carl E. uses his hacker skills to stalk Clare through the cloud, tracking her through devices and predicting her next moves using an algorithm he’s developed through previous “experiments” he’s run with other female victims. Things get even more serious when Carl E. starts targeting not only Clare and her human allies, but also her precious dog, Pebbles. Is nothing sacred to this troubled young man?!

In some moments, The Stranger feels like a Hitchcockian thriller for an increasingly algorithm-atized America. Its beautifully framed visuals and ominous, shadowy lighting are enough to make you forget that this movie was once a vertically oriented TV series meant to be consumed in 9-minute intervals while waiting in line for your Starbucks order or sitting on the toilet. In other scenes, however, the film veers into goofier territory, suddenly reminding us that this project was once developed to live beside Quibis like, say, “ The Golden Arm ” . (Remember that time The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ’s Rachel Brosnahan starred in a horror short about a woman with a golden arm? Man, 2020 was a weird time!)

How did it play as a Quibi series? RogerEbert.com hated the format, saying , “It’s remarkably difficult to build tension and create suspense in ‘bite-sized’ segments,” while Film School Rejects praised , “The first three Quibis—roughly the opening 24 minutes—deliver thrills, suspense, and something more akin to The Hitcher (1986) than even that film’s remake managed.”

Maika Monroe

DeHaan’s performance is as menacing as ever. With each misogynistic comment and every brooding stare, he finds new ways to underscore his character’s basement-born, incel-adjacent isolation. Then again, it’s hard not to chuckle at some of the Reddit-coded drivel that spills out of Carl E.’s mouth.

Case in point: When Carl E. tells Clare a horror story in the car and she begins crying, he growls, “You are sitting next to a sociopath who has by definition zero human empathy, so how does caterwauling fit into your survival plan here?” ( Caterwauling ?) He continues: “If it’s male chivalry those puppy-dog eyes are meant to appeal to, newsflash, it’s 2020, Nancy Pelosi. Time to put your big-girl pants on. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t expect the men to open the door for you cunts and then whine that we don’t treat you like equals.” With each passing word from this MRA forum rant, you can practically hear the computer keys clacking.

Carl E. is obviously a villain with a capital “V,” but Sud complicates her story by planting seeds of doubt about Clare as well. Throughout the film, there are hints that she might have a history of making things up. Or was she telling the truth and simply not believed at the time? Regardless, she only recently moved to Los Angeles, so apart from her beloved pooch, it seems like Clare has basically no one in the city to help her. The one person who does believe her story is a 7-Eleven cashier named JJ (Avan Jogia) who heroically decides to stay by her side through a truly horrific night, even despite getting chased down by both a psychopath and, at one point, a pack of subway-dwelling coyotes.

As serious as its sources of inspiration may be—the rise of disaffected, woman-hating young men; technologies that encroach on our privacy while predicting our every move; crumbling, forgotten public transit infrastructures…— The Stranger is best approached as a light-hearted horror romp designed, above all, to entertain. Carl E.’s technologically based stalking techniques can feel almost supernatural, rather than grounded in reality, and the film’s finale can only be described as unforgettably bonkers in the best way possible. That said, it’ll definitely make Uber drivers think twice before letting Dane DeHaan (or anyone with weird vibes) into their cars.

20 Best Dog Movies on Amazon Prime

by Adeleke Adewale
August 12, 2022

Unsure of the movie you should see? You’re covered, so don’t worry; this article discusses some of the best dog movies on amazon prime here, thanks to our extensive search across Amazon Prime!

You’ll cry and laugh at different parts of these films. Nevertheless, dogs are what they all share in common. A dog touches and transforms the lives of those around them in these films’ central stories.

When you see the films we’ve listed here, you’ll understand why people say dogs are our best friends. It’s not uncommon, but it’s also not very frequent for dogs to play the lead role in a movie.

When they do, they make sure that all eyes are on them. They touch our hearts more than anyone else on the big screen with their unmatched compassion and love.

Consequently, let’s look at some of the top dog movies available on Amazon Prime Video .

1. Marley & Me (2008)

The American comedy-drama Marley & Me, starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, is based on the same-titled book by John Grogan.

The story’s protagonists are a happily married couple who adopt Marley, an out-of-control Labrador retriever. It is challenging to handle and follow their adventures and struggles as dog parents.

In his mischievous ways, Marley teaches the family some essential life lessons and moves the audience to tears as they realize how much a pet makes a person’s life easier and more fulfilling.

2. Dogs With Jobs (2000)

Stories of dogs doing what they were bred to do and changing lives can be found worldwide.

The list of jobs is endless and includes everything from acting to herding sheep to providing physical and mental therapy to working with the fire and police departments.

Also, it’s a sweet, straightforward program with a straightforward premise that is also family-friendly.

3. Bolt (2008)

You can never be too old to enjoy an animated film, especially the one about a canine superhero with a super-strong “super bark” sonic scream.

He decides to use his superpowers and fly across the country to save his human when he learns that his owner has been abducted.

He meets a feisty cat and a hamster along the way, who help him adjust to reality when he enters the “real world.” John Travolta plays Bolt in the film, and Miley Cyrus plays Penny, his owner.

Susie Essman plays Mittens the cat, and Mark Walton plays the hamster. This movie is one of the best dog movies on amazon prime.

4. Hachi: A Dog Tale (2009)

Bring extra boxes of tissues because Richard Gere’s Hachi: A Dog’s Tale will require all of them. The film is an emotional and heartbreaking tale of a professor, an abandoned puppy, and the unbreakable bond the two form when the professor adopts him.

Also, it is based on the true story of an Akita dog named Hachiko and is a remake of the famous 1987 Japanese film Hachiko Monogatari.

However, even the most resilient people can be moved to tears by the dog’s devotion and loyalty to his master, whose side he never leaves, even after his death.

5. Dog Gone

Twelve-year-old Owen steps in to stop a diamond thief and his dimwitted accomplices from abusing their dog, which allows the dog to flee.

When he discovers the dog deep in the forest, they seek refuge in his covert lair, cleverly fortified with booby traps to ward off invaders. The two are constantly on guard for the feared “Madman of the Mountain,” who resides in the nearby woods.

6. All Dog’s Goes To Heaven

Charlie Barkin, an old friend of ours, makes a comeback in this animated sequel to wreak havoc both on earth and in heaven.

When Charlie grows weary of the tranquil bliss of life in dog heaven and starts dreaming of leaving, trouble starts. Even the arrival of Itchy, his former best friend, cannot make him feel better.

As a result of the struggle, Gabriel’s horn is taken by the evil Carface and dropped into San Francisco.

Charlie and Itchy are eager to get their hands on the holy horn. All Dog goes to heaven is one of the best dog movies on amazon prime.

Dogs are undoubtedly talented, but until the 1997 film Air Bud was released, we had never seen a dog play basketball. A 12-year-old boy who is reclusive and lonely meets a golden retriever with a unique talent for basketball, and the two quickly become friends.

While overcoming the obstacles in their personal lives and sports, the two find comfort and joy in one another’s company. This is one of the best dog movies on amazon prime.

8. My Magic Dog

He is adorable, furry, and invisible to everyone but his best friend Toby, who is 8 years old. Lucky, The Magic Dog, is his name. Lucky fights off 2 teenage bullies and foils Aunt Violet’s nefarious plan when she tries to steal Toby’s inheritance. Only you and Toby can see his invisible friend when Lucky saves the day!

9. Lady And The Tramp

A spoiled and privileged Lady encounters a vagrant. When two dogs from different social classes cross paths, they develop an unusual bond as they fall in love and adjust to one another’s radically different lifestyles.

To name a few, Tessa Thompson, Justin Theroux, and Sam Elliot lend their voices to this 2019 live-action remake of the beloved 1955 film. LadyThis is one of the best dog movies on amazon prime.

You can find a genuinely original perspective on being a hero in the film Bolt. Bolt is an action hero in his very own successful TV series in this animated movie .

He doesn’t understand this, though. Bolt is adamant that he is a real superhero. That is until he wakes up on the other side of the country one day and is confronted with the very harsh realities of life.

He will now do whatever it takes to return to his owner Penny and show that true heroes do not necessarily possess superpowers.

11. Scooby-Doo

Scooby doo is a film written and directed by James Gunn of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sadly underappreciated. The whole family will enjoy its abundance of clever puns and one-liners.

Also, the gang is brought back together in this movie for one last case to deal with the ghosts and voodoo that plague Spooky Island Amusement Park and Resort. This is one of the best dog movies on amazon prime.

12. Because Of Winn Dixie (2005)

This is a heartwarming story about the love that dogs can exhibit, and it is based on the famous Kate DiCamillo’s 2000 novel Because of Winn Dixie.

The plot centers on a young girl named Opal who befriends a Berger Picard dog causing mayhem inside the neighborhood supermarket. She gives him the store’s name, Winn Dixie, and brings him home.

Even though Winn Dixie befriends everyone he meets, his friendship with Opal is highlighted. Winn Dixie helps Opal fill the void left by her mother, leaving her and her father seven years earlier.

13. The Adventure Of Tintin

For this movie adaptation of the French comic book series The Adventures of TinTin, Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson collaborate. Young and intrepid reporter Tintin from Belgium frequently finds himself in the grip of evil while pursuing a story.

Thankfully, he has his dependable Wire Fox Terrier, Snowy, and an incredible supporting cast of characters to assist him. And as he hunts for the treasure of renowned pirate Red Rackham in this adventure, he will need their help.

14. Isle Of Dogs

A dystopian and futuristic fictional city called Megasaki is the setting for the stop-motion animated science fiction film Isle of Dogs .

The movie is set in a time when all dogs have been exiled due to the spread of a “canine flu,” and Spots Kobayashi is one of those dogs. Spots’ 12-year-old owner is determined to do whatever it takes to get Spots back.

Sincerely, there can’t possibly be a better time to watch this movie than right now. Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Jeff Goldblum, Greta Gerwig, and Tilda Swinton are the voice actors in the Wes Anderson-directed movie. The trap is one of the best dog movies on amazon prime.

15. Where The Red Fern Grow

Where The Red Fern Grow Dog Movies On Amazon Prime

The main character of this timeless movie from 1974 is a young boy who strives to realize his dream of owning two Redbone Hounds. Unfortunately for young Billy, his parents cannot support these puppies during the difficult Great Depression.

Billy, however, is unaffected by this. Only Billy manages to get past his obstacles and achieve his dream through hardship, adventure, and even tragedy.

This animated film tells the Balto story, loosely based on a true story. In the movie, Balto was an Alaskan street dog who aspired to be a renowned sled dog who carried supplies, goods, and medications. But he is disqualified from every competition because of his half-wolf nature.

But nothing can stop him from traveling across Alaska and obtaining the vaccine when one of his favorite human children succumbs to diphtheria.

17. Dog Years

Even though Dog Years is a short movie that lasts only about 5 minutes, it’s still worth watching. The film, shown at the Female Filmmakers Festival in Berlin, describes how dogs can support us in even the most trying circumstances.

In the movie, a neglected girl’s only companion during some of her darkest moments was an old dog. This is one of the best dog movies on amazon prime.

18. Beethoven

This 1992 classic tells the tale of Beethoven, a cute but naughty puppy St. Bernard, as he flees dog kidnappers and finds his forever family. This family-friendly comedic gem features excellent slapstick and is full of laughs. This is one of the best dog movies on amazon prime.

The movie “1925 Serum Run to Nome,” starring Willem Dafoe, Julianne Nicholson, Christopher Heyerdahl, and Michael Gaston, is about a musher and Togo, his trained Siberian Husky, and how the two played a significant role in the expedition.

However, according to reports, the movie is based on a story from 1925 about dog sled teams racing through the worst weather to bring back the serum and stop a diphtheria outbreak in Nome.

20. A Dog’s Journey (2019)

This comedy-drama is a follow-up to the 2017 film A Dog’s Purpose and is based on the famous W. Bruce Cameron’s novel of the same name.

Bailey dies, reincarnates as various dogs, and lives through different decades with multiple owners. However, in this movie, he promises to stay and guard his granddaughter, with whom he stays as Molly, after leaving the side of his first best friend Ethan (his reincarnation).

Also, the plot of this lovely story is woven by how Molly makes the granddaughter’s life happier and more loving while also assisting her in getting back in touch with Ethan.

Taylor Swift 'Tortured Poets Department" variant album cover vinyl LP review

Popular on Variety

For where it sits in her catalog musically, it feels like the synth-pop of “Midnights,” with most of the feel-good buzz stripped out; or like the less acoustic based moments of “Folklore” and “Evermore,” with her penchant for pure autobiography stripped back in. It feels bracing, and wounded, and cocky, and — not to be undervalued in this age — handmade, however many times she stacks her own vocals for an ironic or real choral effect. Occasionally the music gets stripped down all the way to a piano, but it has the effect of feeling naked even when she goes for a bop that feels big enough to join the setlist in her stadium tour resumption, like “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”

The first time you listen to the album, you may be stricken by the “Wait, did she really just say that?” moments. (And no, we’re not referring to the already famous Charlie Puth shout-out, though that probably counts, too.) Whatever feeling you might have had hearing “Dear John” for the first time, if you’re old enough to go back that far with her, that may be the feeling you have here listening to the eviscerating “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” or a few other tracks that don’t take much in the way of prisoners. Going back to it, on second, fifth and tenth listens, it’s easier to keep track of the fact that the entire album is not that emotionally intense, and that there are romantic, fun and even silly numbers strewn throughout it, if those aren’t necessarily the most striking ones on first blush. Yes, it’s a pop album as much as a vein-opening album, although it may not produce the biggest number of Top 10 hits of anything in her catalog. It doesn’t seem designed not to produce those, either; returning co-producers Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner aren’t exactly looking to keep her off the radio. But it’s easily among her most lyrics-forward efforts, rife with a language lover’s wordplay, tumults of sequential similes and — her best weapon — moments of sheer bluntness.

Who is the worst man that she delights in writing about through the majority of the album? Perhaps not the one you were guessing, weeks ago. There are archetypal good guy and bad boy figures who have been part of her life, whom everyone will transpose onto this material. Coming into “Tortured Poets,” the joke was that someone should keep Joe Alwyn, publicly identified as her steady for six-plus years, under mental health watch when the album comes out. As it turns out, he will probably be able to sleep just fine. The other bloke, the one everyone assumed might be too inconsequential to trouble her or write about — let’s put another name to that archetype: Matty Healy of the 1975 — might lose a little sleep instead, if the fans decide that the cutting “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” and other lacerating songs are about him, instead. He might also have cause to feel flattered, because there are plenty of songs extolling him as an object of abject passion and the love of her life — in, literally, the song title “LOML” — before the figure who animated all this gets sliced down to size.

The older love, he gets all of one song, as far as can be ascertained: the not so subtly titled “So Long, London,” a dour sequel to 2019’s effusive “London Boy.” Well, he gets a bit more than that: The amusingly titled “Fresh Out the Slammer” devotes some verses to a man she paints as her longtime jailer (“Handcuffed to the spell I was under / For just one hour of sunshine / Years of labor, locks and ceilings / In the shade of how he was feeling.” But ultimately it’s really devoted to the “pretty baby” who’s her first phone call once she’s been sprung from the relationship she considered her prison.

It’s complicated, as they say. For most of the album, Swift seesaws between songs about being in thrall to never-before-experienced passion and personal compatibility with a guy from the wrong side of the tracks. She feels “Guilty as Sin?” for imagining a consummation that at first seems un-actionable, if far from unthinkable; she swears “But Daddy I Love Him” in the face of family disapproval; she thinks “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can),” before an epiphany slips out in the song’s hilariously anticlimactic final line: “Woah, maybe I can’t.” Then the most devastating songs about being ghosted pop up in the album’s later going.

Now, that, friends, is a righteous tirade. And it’s one of the most thrilling single moments in Swift’s recorded career. “But Daddy I Love Him” has a joke for a title (it’s a line borrowed from “The Little Mermaid”), but the song is an ecstatic companion piece to “That’s the Way I Loved You,” from her second album, now with Swift running off with the bad choice instead of just mourning him. It’s the rare song from her Antonoff/Dessner period that sounds like it could be out of the more “organic”-sounding, band-focused Nathan Chapman era, but with a much more matured writing now than then… even if the song is about embracing the immature.

The album gets off to a deceptively benign start with “Fortnight,” the collaboration with Post Malone that is its first single. Both he and the record’s other featured artist, Florence of Florence + the Machine , wrote the lyrics for their own sections, but Posty hangs back more, as opposed to the true duet with Florence; he echoes Swift’s leads before finally settling in with his own lines right at the end. Seemingly unconnected to the subject matter of the rest of the record, “Fortnight” seems a little like “Midnights” Lite. It rues a past quickie romance that the singer can’t quite move on from, even as she and her ex spend time with each other’s families. It’s breezy, and a good choice for pop radio, but not much of an indication of the more visceral, obsessive stuff to come.

The title track follows next and stays in the summer-breeze mode. It’s jangly-guitar-pop in the mode of “Mirrorball,” from “Folklore”… and it actually feels completely un-tortured, despite the ironic title. After the lovers bond over Charlie Puth being underrated (let’s watch those “One Call Away” streams soar), and over how “you’re not Dylan Thomas, I’m not Patti Smith,” an inter-artist romance seems firmly in place. “Who’s gonna hold you like me?” she asks aloud. (She later changes it to “troll you.”) She answers herself: “Nofuckinbody.” Sweet, and If you came to this album for any kind of idyll, enjoy this one while it lasts, which isn’t for long.

From here, the album is kind of all over the map, when it comes to whether she’s in the throes of passion or the throes of despair… with that epic poem in the album booklet to let you know how the pieces all fit together. (The album also includes a separate poem from Stevie Nicks, addressing the same love affair that is the main subject of the album, in a protective way.)

There are detours that don’t have to do with the romantic narrative, but not many. The collaboration with Florence + the Machine, “Florida!!!,” is the album’s funniest track, if maybe its least emotionally inconsequential. It’s literally about escape, and it provides some escapism right in the middle of the record, along with some BAM-BAM-BAM power-chord dynamics in an album that often otherwise trends soft. If you don’t laugh out loud the first time that Taylor’s and Florence’s voices come together in harmony to sing the line “Fuck me up, Florida,” this may not be the album for you.

When the album’s track list was first revealed, it almost seemed like one of those clever fakes that people delight in trolling the web with. Except, who would really believe that, instead of song titles like “Maroon,” Swift would suddenly be coming up with “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” “Fresh Out the Slammer,” “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” and “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”? This sounded like a Morrissey track list, not one of Swift’s. But she’s loosened up, in some tonal sense, even as she’s as serious as a heart attack on a lot of these songs. There is blood on the tracks, but also a wit in the way she’s employing language and being willing to make declarations that sound a little outlandish before they make you laugh.

Toward the end of the album, she presents three songs that aren’t “about” anybody else… just about, plainly, Taylor Swift. That’s true of “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?,” a song that almost sounds like an outtake from the “Reputation” album, or else a close cousin to “Folklore’s” “Mad Woman,” with Swift embracing the role of vengeful witch, in response to being treated as a circus freak — exact contemporary impetus unknown.

Whatever criticisms anyone will make of “The Tortured Poets Department,” though — not enough bangers? too personal? — “edge”-lessness shouldn’t be one of them. In this album’s most bracing songs, it’s like she brought a knife to a fistfight. There’s blood on the tracks, good blood.

Sure to be one of the most talked-about and replayed tracks, “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” has a touch of a Robyn-style dancing-through-tears ethos to it. But it’s clearly about the parts of the Eras Tour when she was at her lowest, and faking her way through it. “I’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday — every day,” she sings, in the album’s peppiest number — one that recalls a more dance-oriented version of the previous album’s “Mastermind.” It’s not hard to imagine that when she resumes the tour in Paris next month, and has a new era to tag onto the end of the show, “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” might be the new climax, in place of “Karma.” “You know you’re good when you can do it with a broken heart,” she humble-brags, “and I’m good, ‘cause I’m miserable / And nobody even knows! / Try and come for my job.”

Not many superstars would devote an entire song to confessing that they’ve only pretended to be the super-happy figure fans thought they were seeing pass through their towns, and that they were seeing a illusion. (Presumably she doesn’t have to fake it in the present day, but that’s the story of the next album, maybe.) But that speaks to the dichotomy that has always been Taylor Swift: on record, as good and honest a confessional a singer-songwriter as any who ever passed through the ports of rock credibility; in concert, a great, fulsome entertainer like Cher squared. Fortunately, in Swift, we’ve never had to settle for just one or the other. No one else is coming for either job — our best heartbreak chronicler or our most uplifting popular entertainer. It’s like that woman in the movie theater says: Heartache feels good in a place like that. And it sure feels grand presented in its most distilled, least razzly-dazzly essence in “The Tortured Poets Department.”

"You have to break a dog to break their will." "What is a 'will,' exactly, anyway?" "It's character. It's the thing that makes you you." If the "will" is the "thing that makes you you," then breaking that will is tyrannical. Maybe a broken will is necessary to the social contract, as well as a part of the human condition, but there's hardly any comfort in that. Todd Solondz doesn't care about the audience's comfort and his films have a ruthless, unblinking stare, almost refreshing in their uncompromising attitude (especially in comparison with the industry's pathological desire for happy endings). Solondz rarely provides escape hatches. He presents reality, or reality as he sees it. Reality can be hilarious, absurd, touching. It can also be an exercise in futility. With all its humor (and there is a ton), "Wiener-Dog," following the journey of a dachshund as it is shuffled from owner to owner, is one of Solondz's sharpest visions of futility.

Early on, there is a slow horizontal pan down a line of caged dogs, lit in the sickly-green of buzzing fluorescence. It is surreal and elegant, putting us into the world-view of the creature we will follow. Disorientation is almost total for the dog. Just a moment ago, the dog knew where it was, who its "person" was. Everything changed in an instant. Each owner of the dog is further along down life's path, and the dog is the witness to the passage of time. The owners flail in the void, searching for a handhold, something to make life meaningful.

Shot by Edward Lachman , two-time Oscar nominee (for "Far From Heaven" and " Carol "), "Wiener-Dog" enters and exits multiple worlds, following the dog's destiny. It starts in an ultra-cool modern house with no personal objects in sight, not even in the child's room. Remi ( Keaton Nigel Cooke ), a little boy with constantly bickering parents ( Tracy Letts and Julie Delpy ) is given the dog to comfort him after a serious illness. Neither parent is happy with this situation. (Dad is shown trying to train the dog, throwing vicious epithets its way). But Remi falls in love with the dog, naming it "Wiener-Dog" (the nickname of poor Dawn Wiener in Solondz's "Welcome to the Dollhouse"). When the dog gets spayed, Remi is concerned that she will be scared and in pain; when the dog gets sick, Remi asks questions about death. Delpy handles her son's anxieties in a mildly panicked and yet totally inappropriate way. "We don't believe in God," she tells her son. "Nature doesn't care about animals," she informs Remi. She relates the sad story of Croissant, her childhood dog who got pregnant (only she describes it as Croissant having been "raped by a dog named Mohammad"). Remi's love of his dog, and the rapturous scene where the two tear apart the living room in slo-mo, is an ecstatic moment of uncomplicated joy and freedom, the best that dogs (and children) can exemplify.

The next owner is Dawn Wiener (all grown up from "Welcome to the Dollhouse" and now played by Greta Gerwig ). Dawn rescues the dog who is about to be put to sleep from a vet's office, cradling it in her arms. At a convenience store, she runs into Brandon, the boy she knew when she was a kid (played by Brendan Sexton in "Welcome to the Dollhouse" and here played by Kieran Culkin ), and they have a stilted reunion where it's clear that he can't wait to get away from her. When he tells her that she looks like her dog, her face lights up. Dawn is cheery, pliable, caring, and susceptible. Brandon is on his way somewhere, and she decides to come along with her dog, and suddenly "Wiener-Dog" becomes a road movie. There's a detached quality to Dawn (she sits on her bed, staring out the window, saying to herself simply: "I miss nothing here.") A person with no attachments, she floats, and Greta Gerwig is a great "floater." Dawn is like Remi in that she sees the pain in others (in the bitter Mariachi band they pick up along the way, in the troubled Brandon). The sequence is not exactly a hopeful sequel to "Welcome to the Dollhouse." If Wiener-Dog is just along for the ride, then so is Dawn.

Danny DeVito is heartbreaking in his role as Dave Schmerz, a one-time successful screenwriter, who now teaches a course at a film school, universally disliked by his young heartless students who think he's old and his advice worthless. Dave holds out hope he can sell his own script, but he can't get his agent on the horn. He is in trouble with the administration for not being supportive enough of his students who breeze into his office saying they want to merge queer theory with epistemological concepts in their films, and then look annoyed when he asks "What is it about , though?" The film-school section of "Wiener-Dog" goes meta, similar to what Solondz was up to in " Storytelling ," addressing the critiques of his own work as well as his contempt for those who refuse to engage.

In the middle of all of this is an old-fashioned " Intermission ," showing the dachshund, now gigantic, strolling through Monument Valley, all to the crooning accompaniment of a Spaghetti-Western style song called "The Ballad of the Wiener-Dog." It's a biting commentary on the audience's need for a "break."

Ellen Burstyn is the final owner of the dog. An invalid, hidden behind dark sunglasses, she tolerates the visit of her twitchy anxious granddaughter Zoe ( Zosia Mamet ), artist boyfriend named Fantasy ( Michael James Shaw) in tow. Zoe is eager to please, on the edge of tears, babbling about Fantasy's art ("I'm interested in mortality," announces Fantasy) and afraid of her formidable humorless grandmother (as well she should be). The scene, and the one that follows, is sweeping and surreal in its evocation of regret, loss, and roads not taken.

Things happen in the film that are unbearable or gross (one example being the lengthy horizontal-pan of the dog's diarrhea trail), and Solondz lingers on it, forcing the audience to linger, too. His rage shimmers off the screen.

At one point, Zoe says to her grandmother with desperate brightness, "I'm still young!" and Burstyn snaps, "Don't kid yourself." That could be a summing-up of Solondz's outlook on life. It's not that there isn't humor in life. Or joy. There is. But don't kid yourself.

'Civil War' review: Kirsten Dunst leads visceral look at consequences of a divided America

We see “Civil War” trending on social media all too commonly in our divided country, for one reason or another, and usually nodding to extreme cultural or ideological differences. With his riveting new action thriller of the same name, writer/director Alex Garland delivers a riveting cautionary tale that forces viewers to confront its terrifying real-life consequences.

“Civil War” (★★★½ out of four; rated R; in theaters Friday) imagines a near-future America that’s dystopian in vision but still realistic enough to be eerily unnerving. It's a grounded, well-acted ode to the power of journalism and a thought-provoking, visceral fireball of an anti-war movie.

Played exceptionally by Kirsten Dunst , Lee is an acclaimed war photographer covering a fractured America: The Western Forces led by California and Texas have seceded from the USA and are days away from a final siege on the federal government. Lee and her reporting partner Joel (Wagner Moura) have been tasked with traveling from New York City to Washington to interview the president (Nick Offerman) before the White House falls.

After visually capturing humanity's worst moments, Lee is as world-weary and jaded as one can be. But after saving aspiring photographer Jessie (Cailee Spaeny) during a Brooklyn suicide bombing, Lee becomes a reluctant mentor as the young woman worms her way into their crew. Also in the press van: senior journalist Sammy (Stephen McKinley Henderson), hitching a ride to the Western Forces military base in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Most of “Civil War” is an episodic odyssey where Lee and company view the mighty toll taken by this conflict: the graveyard of cars on what’s left of I-95, for example, or how an innocent-looking holiday stop turns deadly courtesy of an unseen shooter. Primarily, however, it’s a disturbing internal examination of what happens when we turn on each other, when weekend warriors take up arms against trained soldiers, or armed neighbors are given a way to do bad things to people they just don’t like.

'No dark dialogue!': Kirsten Dunst says 5-year-old son helped her run lines for 'Civil War'

Given its polarizing nature, “Civil War" is actually not that "political." Garland doesn’t explain what led to the secession or much of the historical backstory, and even Offerman’s president isn’t onscreen enough to dig into any real-life inspirations, outside of some faux bluster in the face of certain defeat. (He’s apparently in his third term and dismantled the FBI, so probably not a big Constitutionalist.)

Rather than two hours of pointing fingers, Garland is more interested in depicting the effect of a civil war rather than the cause. As one sniper points out in a moment when Lee and Joel are trying not to die, when someone’s shooting a gun at you, it doesn’t matter what side you’re on or who’s good and who's bad.

The director’s intellectual filmography has explored everything from ecological issues ( “Annihilation” ) to AI advancement ( “Ex Machina” ), and there are all sorts of heady themes at play in “Civil War.” “What kind of American are you?” asks a racist soldier played with a steady, ruthless cruelty by Jesse Plemons (Dunst's husband) in a disturbing scene that nods to an even deeper conflict in society than the one torching this fictionalized version. There's also an underlying sense of apathy that the characters face, with hints that much of the country is just willfully ignoring the conflict because they'd rather not think about it. But this hellish road trip also maintains a sense of hopefulness − via the growing relationship between Lee and Jessie – and is pretty exciting even with its multitude of horrors.

'You get paid a lot of money': Kirsten Dunst says she's open for another superhero movie

“Civil War” is a thoughtful movie with blockbuster ambitions, and while it does embrace more of a straightforward action flick vibe toward its climactic end, Garland still lands a lasting gut punch. He immerses audiences in the unpredictable nature of war, with gunfire and explosions leaving even the calmest sort on edge, and paints a sprawling canvas of an America forever changed. Thankfully, it’s just a warning and not a promise, using the movie theater as a public service announcement rather than an escape from the real world.

How to Watch All the ‘Jesse Stone’ Movies in Order

How amazon fire tv stick users can unlock 120,000 movies and shows—legally, 7 movies like ‘the notebook’ that will make you swoon.

We are sometimes surprised just how dark that family-oriented dark fantasy shows can be. Though they’re supposed to be suitable for kids, there are plenty of scary-looking creatures, shocking twists and heart-skipping jump scares. A new Roku series based on a popular dark fantasy book series promises some scary family viewing. Does it deliver?

THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES : STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?

Opening Shot: “Dear viewer, this is a dark fairy tale,” a voice says. “Like all fairy tales, it begins once upon a time. Our time… is now.” We hear that as a car drives onto a bridge late at night.

The Gist: A man (Christian Slater) cowers in the presence of a dark creature, and says he did what was asked; he wants his daughter Calliope (Alyvia Alyn Lind) back. She comes out, but there’s things about her that aren’t right, which is when her dad realizes that the person in front of him isn’t his daughter. Suddenly, he’s snatched up and dragged under the bridge, and the ogre takes his form.

The Grace family is driving to Henson, Michigan, where they’re moving to after leaving Brooklyn. Helen Grace (Joy Bryant) is looking for a fresh start with her three teenage kids — oldest daughter Mallory (Mychala Lee) and twin boys Jared (Lyon Daniels) and Simon (Noah Cottrell) — after divorcing the kids’ dad. Part of the fresh start is for Jared; some of the visions he’s had and other minor transgressions back home is part of the reason why the divorce happened.

They move into the Spiderwick estate, a creepy, overgrown old mansion that belonged to Helen’s grandfather Arthur Spiderwick (Albert Jones); Helen’s aunt Lucinda (Charlayne Woodard) has lived in the mansion her whole life, but she was sent to a psychiatric hospital decades prior due to the visions she used to see.

What are those visions? Helen has told her kids stories of what her aunt saw: Fairies, baggarts, and other magical creatures. And while a young Helen was fascinated her aunt’s stories, her mother and others who couldn’t see what Lucinda saw were more concerned about her mental health.

The house is strange in a number of ways: A tree that grows poisonous apples grows in the middle of the entry foyer, and mushrooms grow everywhere. The kitchen has a model-sized kitchen inside of it, complete with a working stove. And, of course, there are lots of noises, which Jared investigates on their first night at the house. He takes Mallory’s epee and stabs at where he thinks the noise is. He sees blood, a small eye-like growth and a note from Arthur Spiderwick.

Helen takes Jared to see a noted psychiatrist at the same hospital where Lucinda is to enroll him in group therapy. Jared meets Hatcher (Hunter Dillon) and Emiko (Momona Tamada); Hatcher classifies the group as a “messed up, heavily medicated Avengers.” Uncomfortable being classified as in need of help, Jared bolts the group before meeting the doctor, and goes to Lucinda’s room just as his previously-catatonic great aunt warns Helen to get out of Henson while she can.

In the meantime, the ogre-turned-human and his offspring move into a house in town. “Calliope” is looking to feast on humans, but her “father” has other plans. They find a Fabergé egg with a monster-like embryo inside. They need what the father calls a “field guide” in order to raise it right, but that field guide is what they’re looking for.

Jared, investigating more noises in the house, finds his great-grandfather’s attic, where all sorts of samples and other documentation are stored. Part of that is a book that says “Field Guide” on the cover… but all the pages are ripped out. He also sees a tiny creature that looks somewhat mouse-like but wears clothes and wields a tiny sword. He tells his family about it, but, of course, they don’t believe him.

What Shows Will It Remind You Of? Based on the book series by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black , this is the second iteration of The Spiderwick Chronicles , the first being a 2008 feature film . The vibe of the show is similar to other family-oriented dark fantasy shows like Ghostwriter and Locke & Key , the latter of which was a previous project of Spiderwick showrunner Aron Eli Coleite.

Our Take: The Spiderwick Chronicles is in that weird nether region of not being scary enough for adults but perhaps being too dark and scary for some of the younger members of its target audience, which are teens and preteens. There’s a little blood, but any violence is implied. There are one or two jump scares in the first episode, but they’re mild ones at best. And anything that’s supposed to be a surprise — and the first episode ends with one — is pretty predictable.

But we’re not sure if the story is really relying on the scary stuff too heavily. It’s more a story about how Jared rallies his siblings and others — likely Hatcher, Emiko and others — to gather the pages of his great-grandfather’s field guide and save all of the mystical creatures in Henson from the ogre Mulgrath.

Part of the story is how Jared gets past the judgement that has dogged him his entire life and gets people to believe what he — and his aunt Lucinda before him — has seen is real. There’s a scene that indicates that Simon, who has been the “good” twin all this time, can also see what Jared sees, but it’s likely that his sense of logic overrules those visions. How long will it take for him to join in with his twin, with whom he is so close that the two of them still sleep in the same room together and speaks to Jared in their own “twin language”?

There seems to be enough story to fill the eight episodes of the first season, and perhaps multiple seasons, but as Jared and company encounter the magical creatures and work to defeat Mulgrath, we wonder if the story is going to become more warm and fuzzy and less scary as it goes along.

There are attempts to give all of the Grace kids their own stories; Mallory is dismissed by a blind fencing coach called “The Maestro,” for being too rigid, for instance, but we’re not really sure where those stories will go. We just don’t know if the story has enough momentum to hold the interest of viewers of any age.

What Age Group Is This For?: Like we said, The Spiderwick Chronicles is aimed towards the preteen and teen crowd; it’s probably too intense for kids under 8.

Parting Shot: Like we said, there is a surprise that we’re not allowed to reveal. But, to be honest, it’s not that big of a surprise.

Sleeper Star: Slater makes a good ogre posing as a meek human. When he’s being evil, he’s not over the top, but just menacing enough to let us know that there’s a bloodthirsty ogre underneath that human skin.

Most Pilot-y Line: A neighbor and Realtor tells Helen that he can take the mansion off her hands and she can move into town, where “you’ll appreciate the ethnic vibe.” How Helen didn’t tell him to go screw himself right at that moment, we don’t know.

Our Call: SKIP IT. The Spiderwick Chronicles isn’t scary enough or wonderous enough to hold our interest, and we get the feeling that kids who watch the show will seek out other shows that are either scarier or more whimsical.

Fallout TV show review: The best Fallout since New Vegas

Amazon's eight-episode series is the kind of quality adaptation that would have been unthinkable a few years ago.

"New videogame adaptation turns out not to be absolute catshit" isn't really headline news any more, is it? After Castlevania and The Last of Us and so on, the idea that a game adaptation might be good has stopped being shocking. Even Werewolves Within , the horror-comedy movie loosely based on Ubisoft 's VR version of the social deduction game Werewolf, turned out great. Fallout isn't coming into a world where it's unbelievable that a videogame show might be worth watching. I'm just glad it doesn't buck the trend.

Part of what makes the TV incarnation of Fallout special is that it isn't just a story set in a familiar setting, but one that feels like a videogame story. Or maybe more like three videogame stories. Where some games in the Fallout series let you define your playthrough based on your approach to problem solving, your morality, or which faction you side with, Fallout the TV show explores that split by spreading it over multiple protagonists.

Lucy (Ella Purnell) is the naive Vault Dweller stepping out into the blinding light of a horrifying world, a character so innocent her catchphrase is a Ned Flanders "Okie-dokie!" Maximus (Aaron Moten) is a trainee in the militant Brotherhood of Steel who fully buys into their propaganda about protecting the world by hoarding pre-war tech. And the Ghoul (Walton Goggins) is a bounty hunter who took the Bloody Mess perk and sure does have a playstyle to match. The slow-mo when he shoots up a town makes it feel like he's using VATS.

While those three main characters get the most screentime, they're not the only thing going on. There's an escapee from the Enclave, extended flashbacks to Goggins' character in his pre-war life, and—in the same way Fallout 3 has things carry on in the Vault in your absence—Fallout the TV show has an entire B-plot where Lucy's brother Norm investigates the mystery of his home, Vault 33, and the connected Vault 32. It leads to a full-on spooky side story complete with Bethesda-esque environmental storytelling right down to the messages written on the walls, which is one of the best parts of the show.

Fallout (the show) really does feel like Fallout (the games), and not just because it has characters wearing Pip-Boys and power armor. It has a structure so familiar that when Lucy accepted a job to escort someone across the Wasteland I heard the rumble of a "mission accepted" notification in my head.

It helps that it nails the little details too. When Lucy modifies her Vault jumpsuit after spending some time on the surface, she adds a leather shoulderpad just like armored Vault suits have in the games. Characters eat Yum Yum Deviled Eggs and Blamco Mac & Cheese, pass a dilapidated Red Rocket and a Sunset Sarsaparilla factory, and the horrors are offset by ironic doo-wop. While the visuals owe a lot to Fallout 4 in particular, some of the deep-cut references that go all the way back to the original games. And of course there's a dog.

This won't stop the people who have been complaining about trivialities since the first trailer, like "the characters don't look dirty enough." Though there are plenty of scenes where people trudge across dustbowls with dried blood on their clothes from a previous fight, the color palette goes beyond brown and gray, which the realism brigade won't be happy about. Nor will the people who insist on having "what the NCR is up to" explained to them in episode one, or want the characters to take time out of the story to explain to the screen why they're using specific gun models, or whatever else the deep nerds have decided to fixate on. None of that would have made the show better, if you ask me.

PC Gamer Newsletter

Wild Wasteland

The final thing Fallout gets right is the tone, in a way that even the Fallout games sometimes don't. The TV show, for instance, treats the Brotherhood of Steel like the joke it's supposed to be. They're gung-ho and daft, more like bros than a Brotherhood, as you'd expect from the kind of isolationists who hark back to a fantasy Middle Ages with their paladins and clerics. The scenes where a Brotherhood squire and a knight try to cross the Wasteland in the TV show are more reminiscent of the movie Jabberwocky than an epic quest.

The Vault dwellers are seen as a joke by the wastelanders too, privileged naifs descended from the elitists who hid while everyone else suffered. Something post-apocalyptic fiction struggles with is how it accidentally validates the survivalist mindset. The Last of Us made its bunker nut Bill a decent guy, played by the loveable Nick Offerman, but Fallout doesn't let Vault dwellers off so lightly. Some of them are saps and some of them are manipulative, and the only ones who get to be heroes are the ones who rebel against their surroundings and the lie that hoarding resources and letting everyone else go hang is the way to survive.

Fun as it is to see our familiar world ruined by the apocalypse—and Fallout has some cool-looking moody shots of rusted fairgrounds and city streets—post-apocalyptic fiction is too often reduced to a predictable story of people making hard decisions to survive in a hard world and inevitably being hardened by it. Fallout pushes back on that idea. Lucy is set up to learn harsh lessons about the values she was taught in the Vault, but is also firmly a decent person who persists in her good karma playthrough regardless. There's none of the cynicism The Last of Us wallowed in, and while there may be plenty of goofy jokes and gory shootouts, Fallout has an unlikely message of hope, too.

The one thing I didn't like about Fallout was that it ended, and specifically that it ended without tying up all the loose ends. The eight episodes of this first season are less self-contained than I hoped, climaxing with a lot more setup for season two than I expected given how many streaming shows get canceled out of the blue. Season two seems likely to happen, and thank goodness for that, because I'm more excited to see where Fallout goes from here than I was after playing Fallout 4 or 76.
