- Oogy a dog only a family could love by Larry Levin

For most of us, life represents a balancing act among a series of highs and lows, the struggle to maintain equanimity in the face of so many polarities of experience. But no matter where we reside on this spectrum, all of us know that we will, eventually and without fail, have to deal with tragedy... And what appeals to everyone about Oogy is that he is proof that what we all know is lurking out there–the awful and, yes, inevitable tragic loss, the unexplainable savage attack, the seemingly insurmountable occurrence– can, in fact, be survived with love and grace intact, without bitterness or resentment, and with an appreciation for all that follows. Oogy is, right there in front of everyone he meets, tangible living proof that there can be happiness, love, and hope on the other side of unspeakable and unimaginable horror.

Oogy: Book Review

When I first heard about Oogy, before reading the book, was when a join a group that supported pit bulls and their was a post. It was a photo of Oogy and a few of the details of his story. Upon reading the post, I became intrigued and wanted to know more about this brave little dog.

DOCTOR DOLITTLE (1998)

Directed by: Betty Thomas

Written by: Nat Mauldin & Larry Levin

Starring: Eddie Murphy, Ossie Davis, Oliver Platt, Peter Boyle, Richard Schiff, Jeffrey Tambor, Raven-Symone, Norm MacDonald, Albert Brooks, Chris Rock, John Leguizamo, Julie Kavner, Garry Shandling, Ellen DeGeneres, Brian Doyle-Murray, Jenna Elfman, Gilbert Gottfried

It seems very doubtful that this remake had as much production issues as the 1968 classic starring Rex Harrison. While you could go on the internet and research how much of a fiasco the original was I suggest you go out and buy the book Pictures at a Revolution by Mark Harris. It covers the five Best PIcture nominees from the 1967 Oscars and the most fascinating moments occur when talking about Doctor Dolittle. It certainly does not put a good light on Mr. Harrison nor on the Academy because how much pleading had to occur to make it a Best Picture nominee.

As you can see I have very little, or nothing at all, to say about the remake. It’s just another film in a long line of Eddie Murphy films where it just isn’t funny. Too many obvious animal jokes and puns to put you to sleep. What this needed was some backstage antics like say, Eddie Murphy going on a drunken rampage and saying this film is going to be shit. You know: family entertainment.
