My Dog Skip | Eight Below


It is June already  (where does the time go?).   Now we are heading into my favorite time of year, short sleeves, shorts and sandals.   This month I chose two dog films I have had on my mind.  There is something wonderful about the companionship of a dog.   I hope you enjoy these two films.

First film:  2000 My Dog Skip, starring Diane Lane Kevin Bacon and Frankie Muniz.  It is a story about a little boy called Willie who doesn't fit in until one day when he gets a dog and his whole life changes, funny and touching.

Second movie: 2006 Eight Below.  Considered a family drama, this story was based on a true event that happened to the Japanese Expedition of 1958 of Antarctica, the weather turned bad and they left the sled dogs.  My heart sank on this one, but there are some highlights.  The one thing about the film for me, was it was a little to long.

I am in a rental so I cannot host but anyone who would like to, please email me.   We do not have to watch the film we can just discuss the film with food (my favorite).   

Your movie diva
