What's On Tonight (Friday): No Pup's Too Big, No Pup's Too Small...

 

Paw Patrol: The Movie

Oh, I'm sorry...  Did you think I was going to go with the Hugh Jackman-led Reminiscence for Top Pick?  Or perhaps Annette starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard?  The Chair starring Sandra Oh?  Sweet Girl starring Jason Momoa?  Truth Be Told starring Octavia Spencer?  Well, I care not for your celebrities.  I like my protagonists small and fuzzy and aimed squarely at the pre-school set.  So sit back, relax and enjoy the heartwarming adventures of a ragtag team of canine heroes.  Unless you don't have young children or are over three years old, and if you aren't over three years old, congratulations on reading such a sophisticated article full of adult humor and wisdom.  

Beyond that there's nothing because I'm on vacation and I'm keeping this short.  Besides, there's more than enough premieres this week to give you something to do until I return next week.  Have a great week everyone (except for you)!
