Ambush Trail (1946)
Well done!
It's incredible what old westerns were like. How they could fit in an entire story in one hour is impressive. As in many old westerns there are the countless nameless riders and horses doing their jobs expertly, not to mention the expert mounting that Bob Steele did with his horse. Bless their hearts for jobs well done. This is not a sleeper of a movie. The pace is fast and the movie is quite entertaining. You are left with a satisfied feeling at the end of the movie. Typically, in a western there is the good against evil scenario. While dealing with that, there is no brutality nor extreme violence, as we are bombarded with everyday in films of today.
Miracle Dogs (2003)
Cute dog story for children of all ages.
I'd never seen this movie before, but saw it twice today. It's so cute. The puppies are absolutely adorable. These dogs put a whole new meaning to modern medicine. It's a well known fact that animals have a unique ability to have therapeutic capabilities. Because of that, this makes the basic concept of this movie believable. I don't think the dogs themselves heal, but can alter a person's attitude, which in itself will allow the patient to think positive thoughts. That is what can lead to a healing process.
I had one problem, however, the mother dog, Annie, was supposed to have only three legs. Some scenes show her with three, while in others she has four legs. I found it confusing and wondered if there were supposed to be two adult dogs (the father and mother). Yet, I don't believe that issue came up. I guess it all boiled down to bad directing . . . and possibly two different adult dogs were used in the movie. Other than this, it is a fun film. One that puts a smile on your face.
