Whats playing the week of January 1, 2009
I have to say I was surprised by what we put into the DVD player this week and the response by Mighty Mo.
First we put in Mouse Hunt, a fairly old movie from Dream Works starring Nathan Lane and the pizza delivery guy boyfriend from "Something about Mary". There is also a nice cameo by Christopher Walken. It is nice to finally watch a movie with an animal that doesn't talk. Mo was not much into it the first 2o minutes and then couldn't stop watching. By the second viewing, he was laughing non-stop.
Next up was Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. This Chuck Jones classic arrived for a New Years Day viewing following several hours of Merrie Melodies on the Cartoon network. This was a highlight for me as I love Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoons.
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a 30 minute movie based on a Kipling story. A mongoose, Rikki-Tikki, is taken in by a family in India and he protects them from two cobras that want to kill them and drive off humans so their baby cobras can roam free. Yes, a very dark subject but done in typical Chuck Jones style. Mo loved it. As I thought he would. Again watched as often as he could. He even began to mimic the mongoose stance when the back end bounces from side to side and he chatters loudly.
Lastly was Beethoven. This Charlies Groden classic, (did I really say that) about a St. Bernard taken in by a family with a ambivant and down right slobeber-disgusted father figure. Mighty Mo was digging the movie until a plot twist has Beethoven in a dog pound and the pretense is he is going to be put down. This really affected him and the last 20 minutes he did other things but watch.
