Che! (1969)

An American war film directed by Richard Fleischer, starring Omar Sharif and Jack Palance.
Che Guevara and Fidel Castro are revolutionaries.
Boring. Too much politics and war. The video looked fine and I could hear everything, but it held my attention like a wet paper bag holds axes. There was a farmer with some really good lines at the end. He said that Che and his revolutionaries as well as the Bolivian army have disrupted his goats. He wants them all to just leave so his goats will produce milk again. That was the only good part. I rate this bad. Don't watch it.

Oh! Heavenly Dog (1980)

An American mystery comedy directed by Joe Camp, starring Chevy Chase, Benji, Jane Seymour, Omar Sharif and Robert Morley.
A detective is hired to protect a woman, but finds her dead. He is killed shortly thereafter and comes back as a dog to solve the murder.
This is why folks are prejudiced against films featuring animals with celebrity voices. It was incredibly trite and vapid. Total trash. Not that it wasn't slightly pleasant to watch, but pleasant trash is still trash. The plot failed to hold my interest and there were unnecessary characters. The video looked alright. It was shot and edited decently. Animals with celebrity voices is for kids, but murder mysteries are for adults. Who was the target audience here? I'm rating this bad because I wish I hadn't watched it.
