I saw Oh, Heavenly Dog! At the movies when I was 14 years old in 1980 when it was a new theatrical release. I remember everyone of all different ages in the theater seemed to really like and enjoy it. I just bought the DVD for Christmas for my adult son and me to watch. We really enjoyed it, and will watch it again soon to watch the background scene activity. I enjoyed it even more almost 44 years later. It's charming and funny and Benji is adorable and Chevy Chase is likable and pairs well with the wonderful Jane Seymour. The story is actually not bad at all, and it should've been a way bigger box-office hit. Do NOT listen to snobby film critics-this gem of a film is a genuine winner. It's perfect to just chill out and eat popcorn. I wish more movies like this one were made today. I also enjoyed watching this movie for the nostalgia-It's practically a period piece now, with rotary telephones and non-high tech kitchen appliances, furniture, and late 70s-1980 wardrobe and fashions. Some of the jokes are corny, but SOooo much fun. Treat yourself and find this movie streaming or on DVD. It's definitely worth a watch. 8/10.

This was a rather funny episode with James Franco, but the 9 stars are for the two fabulous songs performed by the talented Kings of Leon. They are so far just such an underrated band. Hopefully, this new album of theirs will help them and not spoil them. "Sex on Fire" has to be the most catchy and original tune by any band in a few years. They are also very easy on the eyes without being sissy-boybandish looking. There was also one short but very funny sketch of John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" with an alternate ending. I was surprised that James Franco was as funny as he was because he is usually so serious in his movies. Overall, REALLY GOOD SHOW !!

This was one of the best Christmas movies made recently. I really enjoyed watching this movie with my family. It is SO hard to find quality films that are not offensive (really) in any way, but this "Booky" hits the mark. Megan Follows is one of my favorite Canadian actresses, and she does her usual fine job, so no surprises there. My thanks to CBC-Windsor, Ontario, for airing this excellent movie, and I hope that they will consider rerunning it for Christmas or the New Year. When a movie like this can capture the attention of two young teenage boys, someone must be doing something right! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2008 to everyone!!!
