Tom Hanks Movie Review: ****^Turner and Hooch (1989)

 This movie shows Tom Hank's versatility as he plays opposite a disobedient dog.  He portrays a police investigator, Turner, with OCD.  This makes the story difficult for him.  The dog belonged to his friend, Amos (John McIntire) who is murdered and witnessed by the dog.  Turner takes the dog in to help him find the culprit.  In the meantime he meets the vet, Emily Carson (Mare Whitingham) and becomes enamored with her.  The dog recognizing the murder at a wedding and the chase is on.  However the chase leads farther than anyone assumed.  This is a very good police film, with intrigue and action.  Hooch plays a very big part in the action as he is a large dog, with a big bite.  I highly recommend this movie.  The other detective helping Turner is Detective David Sutton (Reginald VelJohnson).  The Chief of Police is Chief Howard Hyde (Craig T. Nelson).

In Theaters: ***^Incredibles 2 (2018)

Most of the new crew is back, but who knew it would take 14 years, or that it was really that long between Incredibles movies.  We pick up where we left off.  However in this case two siblings come forward with a plan to restore the superheroes to their former status.  However not all is right with the plot.

Movie Review: ****The Incredibles (2004)

The world of the Incredibles is fascinating.  We have a family, trying to live in obscurity, even with their super powers.  This is hard to do sometimes.  It is also hard to give up a previous life and try to be "normal."  Bob Parr aka Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) is faced with this problem.  When he has the chance to get back into the game, he takes the opportunity, unbeknown to his wife Helen Parr aka Elastigirl (Helen Hunt) and kids.  He goes off to an island to fight a villain robot.  However the robot is such that it learns from its opponent.  Syndrome (Jason Lee) is jealous of super heroes, and wants to extract revenge for being rejected.  He has been killing Supers with his robots, and has his eye on Mr. Incredible.  Mr Incredible has some success, but is captured by Syndrome.  Elastigirl discovers where he is, and is coming to the rescue.
The parent child interactions are well done.  All three children eventually have their own unique super powers and personalities.  Dash is fast, Violet creates protective bubbles, and Jack Jack discovers fire.  Another character Lucius Best aka Frozone (Samuel Jackson) is a family friend, and helps with their adventures.  The funniest line of the movie is when the monster is coming and he calls to his wife, "Honey, Where's my super suit?"
