Movie Man: ‘Arthur The King,’ ‘American Society Of Magical Negros’ & ‘Knox Goes Away’

Arthur the King

It looks like in his new movie, Mark Wahlberg has a new adventure buddy. And that friend is one very special pup.

In this heartwarming film, which is based on a true story, Mark Wahlberg stars as Michael Light. He’s a seasoned but jaded adventure racer facing his final shot at glory. Desperate for one last win, Michael convinces a sponsor to back his team for the grueling adventure racing world championship in the Dominican Republic. But just before the race, fate throws him a curveball—a scruffy stray dog he soon names Arthur. Over the course of ten intense days and 435 unforgiving miles, Michael and Arthur forge an unshakable friendship. As they all navigate treacherous terrain, pushing their physical limits and facing grueling challenges, Arthur becomes an unlikely hero, reminding them all about the true meaning of loyalty, perseverance, and what it takes to truly win. Arthur the King is simply a charming, fun, and inspiring movie. Our Movie Man loved it, but he’s also a sucker for dogs in general. Are parts of the movie cheesy? They are indeed, but our Movie Man thoroughly enjoyed Arthur the King and highly recommend that you see it. It’s rated PG-13.
