Why call this movie Jack Reacher? For anyone who has read the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, Tom Cruise is not Jack Reacher. They have tried to emulate the clipped dialogue from the books and have made reference to Jack Reacher's analytical thought processes but it just serves to be a poor imitation of the real thing. I suppose the reason for using Tom Cruise in the title role was to assure a box office success. However, many who are familiar with the Reacher series will be as disappointed as I was with this movie. They should have called it Tom Cruise Fails At Attempt to Portray Jack Sreacher. For one thing he's about a foot shorter than the title character and that's one hurdle he can't jump over. Also I don't like his attitude in this movie. I don't think the Reacher character has the conceited egocentricity displayed by Tom Cruise.. Should have called it TomCruise Trying To Be James Bond And Failing Miserably.

I usually would not watch any film that was animated but because the book MyDog Tulip was so enjoyable I decided to give it a try. I'm so very glad I did. The art work is brilliant. My Dog Tulip is not in any way cartoon-like and is not for children, It is very faithful to the book. If you have never lived in England especially during the period covered in the book I would think you might not connect with the film because it is so very British. A lot of Americans might be put off due to this but I found it was one of the pleasant things about it, having lived in England for a few years. Also the author's companionship with his Alsatian (German Shepherd) dog was really heart warming. I also had an Alsatian and could relate to a lot of the things in the film concerning the problems he encountered trying to find a suitable mate for his dog and also the encounter Tulip had with the chickens could have come directly out of my notebook. I enjoyed this film for its artwork, story and British humor. I will definitely watch it again. Tulip could have been a twin for my dog.
