MON CHAT ET MOI (A CAT'S LIFE)

Watchable. Cats, big and small, a dog, a wild boar, a lynx for animal lovers. But excessive music, loud at times, detracts from the feeling of authenticity.


ROBOTS


Watchable. It's based on "The Robot Who Looked Like Me", a 1978 short story by Robert Sheckley and, typically for the author, it's puckish. The speaker in the first scene is called Larry Underwood - if anyone wants to look for hidden modern references. Surrounding sound means decent production quality. The film's too vulgar though, I doubt that comes from Sheckley, some jokes are bottom-end. But the whole thing is totally engaging, with great twists of action even if not very funny. Still good sci-fi fun.
