Cinema Overdrive at The Colony Theater was last night. This time they showed cult classic A Boy and His Dog (1975). I may have hyped this up in my mind, so I was a bit disappointing with the overall presentation of this showing, it is hard however to beat Ginger, which was the last presentation by Cinema Overdrive. A Boy and His Dog is a post-apocalyptic tale of a young man and his telepathic connection with his dog (who just so happens to be the dog from The Brady Bunch) and their struggle to survive and hopefully find "Over the Hill". Blood (the dog) communicates through telepathic waves sent to his companion Vic/Albert, the voice is done through voice-over. Vic finds the food in exchange Blood uses his powers to search out females and find out when danger is near.
The movie was over-all enjoyable though I wish they had shown the Screamers that had been mentioned once or twice. The ending was enjoyable, though a bit on the predictable side. The movie did seem to jump around a bit. But for what it was it was a good movie, not one I'd want to own unless it was on VHS (which very well may be the only way to purchase this classic). I give A Boy and His Dog a 5/10 overall.
