"The seizure-prone should avoid listening to this particular album while driving. H.P. Lovecraft's "muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes" could be a record review (instead of the music of the blind idiot god Azathoth), and there is also strange sinister chanting in an eldritch tongue (Maghrebi). But if the CD reissue is to be trusted (which is a subject of much controversy), they are chanting sentiments no more sinister than "Your Eyes Are Like a Cup of Tea." Partly because the major local crop is marijuana, many Western visitors have discovered and rediscovered Jajouka and its remarkable music, which is considered trance-enhancing and therefore an aid to meditation (and self-medication). Phasing and echo effects added by Brian Jones pointedly undermine the expectation of field-recording authenticity."

Full disclosure: I would pay to listen to Kevin Costner read the dictionary.

With that being said, what an exceptional film. Told from the point of view of a family's dog, Enzo. Enzo was brought home by Denny before there even was a family. Through Enzo's eyes we see Denny fall in love and start a family of his own all while pursuing his dream of driving a race car professionally.

Amanda Seyfried and Milo Ventimiglia are both wonderful in their respective roles but at the end of the day Kevin Costner truly stole the show (pun intented) and made the movie as excellent as it is. Amazingly, you obviously never see him on screen, but his presence remains the largest of all.

Give this a watch and make sure that you have a hankie handy. Seriously.
