For the new movie “Call of the Wild” starring Harrison Ford and a CGI dog, the first hurdle is to make sure that the CGI of the dog and especially the facial expressions of the dog are as perfect as possible. For the most part the technology for the dog and the special effects works, but there were several times when the CGI did look fake, especially with some of the dog’s facial expressions. I was surprised to realize that Harrison Ford is only in the last half of this movie, with the first half involving a dog (named Buck) and his life pulling a sled along a mail route in Alaska.

I thought the story was simple but effective like most Disney movies that are about animals. My guess is that the low Rotten Tomatoes ratings of only 64% are mostly because of the story, and the belief that most viewers are going to expect something stronger. The special effects are very well done, with the several dogs in the story as well as a very large brown bear. This is also a very good movie for dog lovers, showing the intelligence and loyalty of mans best friend.

My rating for this movie is a about 72%, a bit higher than the Rotten Tomatoes consensus and I do recommend For the new movie “Call of the Wild” starring Harrison Ford and a CGI dog, the first hurdle is to make sure that the CGI of the dog and especially the facial expressions of the dog are as perfect as possible.

There are many reasons why very bad movies are made and released to the world. In my opinion, it is never enough to just have a bad script that someone thinks should be made into a movie. Its also when a named actor, in this case Katie Holmes reads an extremely bad script and for some reason, decides to take the role.

Why or how could anyone, read something as bad as “Brahms: The Boy II” and then decide to take the part? When the TV show Dawson’s Creek ended its run in 2003, most people probably thought that the break out star would be Katie Holmes, but instead Michelle Williams has been by far the most successful in the entire cast. The reason for this is, she never took any role for money, only for quality. She took many low paying Independent film roles that were all about the quality of the part and in the last 17 years these decisions have paid off with a very large number of acting nominations and wins. Unfortunately, none of the other cast members of Dawson’s Creek have been nearly as successful as Michelle Williams and this is all a result of bad decision making.

Brahms: The Boy II is the sequel to a movie I did not see, “The Boy”, released in 2016 and both of these movies are about a doll that is alive and has evil powers. Why have so many movies about evil dolls that come alive been made? I for one, have no idea. There are many reasons why this film is so bad, but the most important reason is, at no point did anything scary happen. There was nothing about this story that only at times seemed like it was a horror movie. This entire idea, where a woman’s son finds a doll in the woods and brings it home is contrived and makes little sense. This film is bad across the board and one of the worst horror movies ever made.

The Rotten Tomatoes rating for this film is a shocking but accurate 0%. Hopefully Katie Holmes career can survive this movie, but over time, too many bad acting parts will destroy any career. Run from this extremely bad movie.
