My Dog Skip
A heartwarming coming-of-age tale set in 1940s Yazoo, Mississippi. Willie Morris (Muniz) is an introverted eight-year-old whose best friend is Dink Jenkins (Wilson - BOTTLE ROCKET), a high school football star. Willie's mother convinces his stern father to buy Willie a puppy for his ninth birthday, in light of the fact that Dink has left Yazoo to fight in the war. Immediately, Willie's world brightens. When he stumbles upon a team of evil bootleggers and welcomes home a despondent Dink, he must learn a very valuable lesson about life. Based on Morris' memoir, MY DOG SKIP should have even the most hardened viewer reaching for the tissues.

It may seem pedantic to complain about factual liberties in a film concerning a mythical beastie - the Loch Ness monster, no less. But it's one thing to ask us to imagine the monster living and breathing, and quite another to relocate the loch itself so that it becomes a saltwater estuary. Apparently Hitler's fleet could pop up at any moment (the bulk of the film is set in a flashback to 1941), which is why Capitan Hamilton (David Morrissey) and his men have been billeted on a nearby farm,...
