• The Last Dog Show: Political Movie Reviews

There’s an old saying: “Just because I’m paranoid, doesn’t mean I’m not really being followed.” The directors of the works reviewed below know only too well the truth behind that statement. If you investigate these subjects with an open mind, you too may begin looking over your shoulder.
Thousands of movies exist, more than anyone can possibly view. What’s a poor pooch to do? The bowsers at DogSkinReport.com have now made your job easy, culling the greyhounds from the also-rans.

Movies are rated on the following scale:
| One Boner: A work of merit, but either due to reasons of style or content, does not quite measure up. Rest assured, this will still get the mainstream public’s panties in a twit, but is still mild stuff compared to those below. | |
| Two Boner: This is a film that breaks new ground, and quite possibly forced changes in the way the government either does business, or hides it. | |
| Three Boner: The coveted three boner is awarded to works that set a new standard for journalistic integrity, laying bare just how badly our government is humping us. |
