Furever Friends #331

This week on Furever Friends we will meet Angel and Coca, two pooches hoping to find a warm home. 

Angel is a 3 year old tan mountain cur mix that weighs 58 pounds. She is bashful but very sweet and would be great in a home that would take her on leisurely trails and let her enjoy playing in the creeks. Angel has been in the shelter for over 6 weeks waiting to find a family to call her own.

And Cocoa, a 4 year old black and tan Doberman mix that weighs 76 pounds. She is very affectionate, calm, easy going and even housebroken.Cocoa has been at the shelter patiently waiting for a family since the first part of December.

Since the program started in 2017, we have helped adopt 627 of the 632 pets we have featured!

The shelter’s upcoming rabies clinic is next week, Friday January 24th from 10am to 2pm at the former West Point School located at 209 North 13th Street in West Point. They will be offering discounted vaccinations and microchips for both dogs and cats.This event is open to the public no matter what county you reside in. Dogs must be on a leash and cats must be in a carrier. This event is cash or check only. More details can be found by visiting the shelters Facebook page at Hardin County Animal Shelter – Elizabethtown

The shelter also has vouchers for a free bale of straw if you need it for your outdoor pets. These vouchers are provided by Friends of Hardin County Animal Shelter and can be redeemed at Pepper’s Hardin County Milling.

The Most Anticipated Movies of 2025

Wolf Man (January 17)
Universal had big plans to reimagine several of the studio’s classic monster movies. But after the failure of 2017’s The Mummy, Universal cooled on the whole idea—until the success of Whannel’s The Invisible Man was a box office hit in 2020. Universal is relying on Whannell to reanimate a creepy classic.

Captain America: Brave New World (February 14)
It’s been nearly 10 years since audiences received a stand-alone Captain America movie, and Brave New World is sure to live up to its title. Largely because it’s the first big-screen project to feature Sam Wilson, the superhero formerly known as the Falcon, as the new Captain America.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (May 23)
We’ve seen enough Mission: Impossible movies over the past quarter-century to know what expect from The Final Reckoning: Tom Cruise running; Tom Cruise hanging off the side of a plane in some sort of entirely breathtaking stunt that no 62-year-old should undertake; and a little more Tom Cruise running. Somehow, it never stops being compelling. Despite the title, this isn’t necessarily the final film in the M:I series.

Ballerina (June 6)
This John Wick spin-off sees Ana de Armas as an assassin with revenge in her heart—and an ice skate-turned-weapon in her hand. With the creative minds behind the project, including director Len Wisemans and John Wick director Chad Stahelski, Ballerina is sure to be entertaining.

28 Years Later (June 20)
2002’s 28 days latter is arguably one of the greatest zombie movies ever, 27 years later (so close), we get what will be the third film in the mini franchise. Spiler alert, the “Rage Virus” is still very much raging.

Jurassic World Rebirth (July 2)
The past three decades haven’t always been kind to the original Jurassic Park’s legacy. Apart from the well-received 2015 Jurassic World, the series has largely been one of diminishing returns. But director Gareth Edwards’ hard reset on the franchise seems promising

Superman (July 11)
His first film in the DC Universe will undoubtedly be a bittersweet moment for Marvel fans who may have mixed feelings about Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn’s “defection” to the DCU. Gunn is now CEO of DC Studios, and he has already made changes that have rekindled some comic book stans. If Gunn’s past directorial results are any indication, Superman could prove to be one of the biggest hits of the summer.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 25)
Both the 2005 and the ten year later installments didn’t perform well, will the third time be the charm for the Fantastic Four?

Avatar: Fire and Ash (December 19)
The second film in the series didn’t get a lot of buzz nor was it met with an overwhelming amount of positive chatter; however, The Way of Water still earned enough money to make it the third highest grossing movie of all time. Will Fire and Ash perform as well as its predecessors?

↓ Moana 2

Disney’s Deadpool & Wolverine brought in a staggering $211 Million for its opening weekend, and to date over $1.3 Billion dollars worldwide, making it the biggest earner for any rated R movie in history.

Disney’s Inside Out 2 was the biggest movie of 2024, bringing in over $154 Million on its opening weekend and nearly $1.7 Billion dollars worldwide to date beating box-office records for an animated film.

With a budget of $200 Million, Joker Folie a Deux bombed so hard that its now the biggest comic book flop of all time bringing in only $37 Million for its opening weekend.

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 was supposed to be the first of a four-part series, but with an opening weekend of $8.6 Million, future movies have been canceled.

Francis Ford Coppola spent about $120 Million of his own money on Megalopolis, which only brought in $4 Million for its opening weekend.

Borderlands once again proved the difficulties of adapting a video game to the big screen, only bringing in $8.6 Million on its opening weekend.

With its poor directing and week vision, Madame Web is the worst Spider-Man universe movie of all time, only making $15 Million on its opening weekend.

Other dishonorable mentions
The Crow, with a $4.6 million opening weekend
Fly Me to The Moon with a $9 million opening weekend
Red One with a $32 Million opening weekend
