Movie Review: Berkeley Breathed animates a Porcine Pet Bounty Hunter — “Hitpig!”

Movie Preview: “Bogart: Life Comes in Flashes”
This doc, narrated by Bogie’s son, comes close on the heels of a recent Bogie/Bacall biography I read and reviewed and promises an equally “intimate” portrait — using home movies, old interviews, etc. Doesn’t appear all that deep and polished, … Continue reading
