Dog Meet Dog

Over at the main website, a new full review is posted for Mike White's Year of the Dog, a film that is affecting at moments but baffling and annoying for its surrounding ineptitudes. The best that can be said for it, besides the fact that Molly Shannon's dog Pencil is the cutest actor in modern movies, is that it's leagues better than Alpha Dog, the worst movie of 2007 so far, and—only because it's new this week on DVD—the temporary denizen of the DVD Spotlight. The silver lining here is the enormous incentive that Alpha Dog supplies me to write a new review, stat, so that I can supplant this piece of trash from my own homepage. Yes, it's that bad.
