The plot: In this animated update of the classic "Oliver Twist" tale, Oliver (Joey Lawrence) is an orphaned kitten taken in by a gang of thieving dogs, led by cavalier canine Dodger (Billy Joel) and owned by down-and-out pickpocket Fagin (Dom DeLuise). While pulling a job in the streets of New York City, Oliver winds up being adopted by a rich girl, Jenny (Natalie Gregory), and landing on easy street. But through a series of events, a loan shark threatens the peaceful new arrangement.
This is one of the weirdest cast ever. You have Joey Lawerence, Billy Joel, Cheech Marin and Bette Midler. Such a weird cast.
Other than that, its a good movie.
Docile was an interesting novel. I wasn't sure what to expect as I read it. Luckily, there was no strange twist at the end that ruined it. It followed the main story all the way through. It gave an interesting view of a medically futuristic program to help families pay off their debt. The program isn't without fault, and I, personally, wouldn't want to be a part of it, but in the story, many had no other choice. (Debtors' prison was the alternative.) It was a unique, yet realistic situation to read about. Money speaks loudly, and it definitely screams in this novel.

Brilliant film with all the right gore horror twist and turns!!
A mysterious man approaches a boat salvaging group and puts across an offer they can't refuse they all head out to find a big abandoned ship, everything goes to plan they find the boat but it doesn't make sense with the main actress seeing a little girl around the ship you soon figure out something definitely isn't right. The crew start dying and the story unravels with a very dark and gripping story line. Watching it again for probably about the 7th time I noticed what the bad guy says at the end about he was a sinner and he has been given a job to collect the souls, explaining why everything is happening. Amazing film good actors and brilliant story line!! This is a must watch!!!!!
