 Maybe it's all in your head May 24, 2006

Lucky is one of those movies that looks at the bare animalistic nature of things existing in the suburban wasteland, with lots of weird and complicated monologues. They're not bad. In fact I like monologues. Of course these monologues were a bit disturbing, but that's okay. This is a horror movie. The storyline is a bit simplistic: a cartoon writer writes only junk until a talking dog inspires him to greatness, however the talking dog wants him to kill. The movie seems to evolve slightly from this model, as the killings seem to take precedence over the dog or the writer. The other characters, other than his girlfriend, are quite one-dimensional and play into stereotypes. I did get the feeling that we were not only seeing the world through his eyes, but also his perception. Maybe this is all in his head, as a waking nightmare. Maybe it's a rationalization for his own violent sexual fetishes of sadism, torture, and necrophilia. Oh by the way, if you're very sensitive about those kinds of things, you may want to skip this movie. While it is simplistic at times, I still recommend the movie for its psychological bludgeoning.
 Bloody Pooper Scooper, or the dog is really quite dead June 11, 2005

I rented this because it was being touted as some direct to video masterpiece. While it was definitely a direct to video release there certainly wasn't anything masterful about it. We get a story of a loser screen writer doing the bidding of his dog, which involves bloodshed. On paper it sounds good. Execution wise, not so much.
If you're a fan of voice over in movies you should probably check this out, since the majority of the film contains it. Believe it or not crazy people talk to themselves, hell sane people talk to their dogs.
When it comes to cheap Horror movies I'm pretty much a dumb fish, chompin down on anything that moves. More often than not I don't like the taste. Sometimes I end up needing shots.
If you have poor short term memory check this movie out. Hopefully, for your sake, you'll forget all about it.
 LUCKY GOES TO THE DOGS February 12, 2005

LUCKY starts out promising. Michael Emanuel, who also produced, stars as Millard Mudd, a cartoon writer, whose life is going to the dogs (in more ways than one). One fateful night, he runs over a stray dog named Lucky and from that point on, his life changes. One realizes that we're watching the fall of a man into total dementia/insanity, and that the things going on are merely in the man's mind. Clues include the fact that the dog never really "talks"; Mudd hears him. The situations that happen are funny at first, but then the movie descends into really distasteful exploitation, such as Millard making love to the corpse of the delivery girl, and having fantasies about killing or torturing the love of his life. Emanuel is fairly effective, having to carry the whole movie, and Piper Cochrane as Misty has a certain appeal. But this turns out to be one sick movie, that is not redeemed by the fact that it's all purportedly "psychological" in nature. Torturing and raping dead people isn't my idea of entertainment.
 Nice little movie shot on miniDV August 15, 2004

Ok, rented this one after hearing about it in Fangoria. Not too bad. Very predictible, but its execution was wonderful. I could of done without some of the talk about necrophilia. But, nonetheless it was a very good dark comedy.
Speaking of Lucky, check out Lucky McGee's "MAY". Excellent movie.
To the person who said that this was negative towards women. Please lighten up and watch Steel Magnolias. There are plenty of movies that are just as negative towards men.

I really did not know what to expect when I rented this bad boy, but having a sick fascination with B/amateur horror I decided to pick it up. The story was so twisted you couldn't help but laugh! But it wouldn't be nearly as enteraining if it wasn't for the dry, and quick wit of the main character and his narrations. His submissive persona and completely oblivious views of his character's slow spiral into dementia are priceless. It reminds me of a twisted version of "The Wonder Years", except in this one Kevin kills Paul and Winnie and buries them in his backyard.
