So I have always been a huge fan of the 70's movies where radiation, the environment, WHATEVER, causes animals to turn against the mean old humans, but somehow, I managed to miss this one. Recently had the chance to watch it. I laughed my ass off every scene Leslie Nielsen was in after he lost his damn mind! Seeing him shirtless, battling a bear, was probably one of the best things I have ever seen. Ridiculous story and acting, but there were lots of animals, and I truly felt empathy for the little girl character. It was absolutely absurd, but I enjoyed myself and so it's a win. Not sure I'd seek it out again, but if it came on, on a rainy day with nothing better to do, I would!

The story of the abduction and murder of the little girl who inspired the "Amber Alert" is informative but gut wrenching. Even all these years later, her mother, Donna Williams pain is palpable. She took her daughter's senseless death and her own suffering to advocate for stricter laws and ultimately, the creation of the alert named after her daughter. Many, many children not just in the US, but have been found safely due to her resolute determination to not let her daughter's death be in vain. Amber's life was shot, but she will never be forgotten. I just pray that this will be resolved in her Mother's lifetime. Amber's father Richard, died in 2007 without seeing justice. But even if the monster who took her life is not caught and prosecuted on earth, I have no doubt he will face justice when he's facing God. I admire her Mom, and pray she is doing as best she can.
