CATS AND DOGS 3: PAWS UNITE! (Theatrical Release Greece 2020)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.4|5.0 Starsììì 

Cats and Dogs 3: Paws Unite!—low grade script—does not pack the entertainment value of the second film in the series, Cats and Dogs 2: Revenge of Kitty Galore. The storyline needs major buffing to work at the higher level. Young children may like the concept of animal cooperation, but the adult who is looking for a better movie for their children, choose Clifford the Big Red Dog (2021) over Cats and Dogs: Unite!.

ON A WING AND A PRAYER (Theatrical Release USA 2023)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì 

On a Wing and a Prayer, while not great, has likeableness that underlies its story despite its average presentation. Dennis Quaid performs his role well and the rest of the cast plays excellently as supporting cast. Know this runs on a typical theme of bad events cause person to lose faith in God. Person finds himself in dire situation, prays, survives, and regains trust in God. This film serves as a suitable afternoon watch.

3 NINJAS: HIGH NOON AT MEGA MOUNTAIN (Theatrical Release France 1998)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì 

3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain —good concept—has a PG-rating and presents the child actors better than the last films in this series. Victor Wong reprises his role as Grandpa. The added ‘treat’ is the casting of Hulk Hogan. The story is fairly well written; the acting is good to okay. The movie operates at a little higher level than the first film in the series. It is a good send-off for the series.
