Marley & Me

I watched this Blu Ray last night. You know, I came away from this movie thinking that it was just kind of an Owen Wilson/Jennifer Aniston movie, instead of a movie about a dog. I did not read the book, which I assume is good or they would not have made a movie about it. I like Owen Wilson, Aniston, not so much, she's ok, but she just has way too much annoying back story with that whole Brad Pitt relationship. Owen, you can get lost in him even with his "suicide" attempt because he must be a good actor, but Aniston, I just sit there and think she is not a 40-something mother of three. Oh well.

The dog did a good job. They obviously used several dogs, a puppy, an older dog. I really liked the older dog, he did a good job of acting old. I actually met a dog actor when we went to Universal Studios a few weeks ago. He was pretty neat. The trainer said that he was in Beverly Hills Chihuahua. I put my arm around him and scratched his back a little when I had my picture taken with him. He seemed to appreciate it.

I did like the fact that they had a gag reel on this disc. I always hate it when there is no gag real, because everyone knows they make flubs while they are making these things, especially comedies. This is definitely one of my pet peeves, I can't even shut up about it when they include one.
