The 3rd installment is better than the 2nd, but not quite as good as the 1st. Lots of action. Great movie despite it being a "Part 3".

Year of the DogYear of the Dog

Molly Shannon in a great movie?? Something about this movie pulled me in. Cute, quirky, humor so dry you could gag on it, and lovable dogs... I just liked it. If there's nothing else at Blockbuster to rent - try this one.

OK - this isn't a "movie" either, but KISS fans will need this in their collection - if only for the MTV Unplugged complete performance. Over 9 hours of KISS footage.
