In a world constantly thirsting for wholesome dog-centric content, the hook of director Daniel Ferguson’s “Superpower Dogs” is an insanely catchy one. Running a museum- and science-center-friendly 47 minutes, this Imax original documentary spotlights six dogs in four different countries who’ve all been called upon to save lives under ordinary and extraordinary circumstances. This spectacular showcase for these exceptional canines is crafted as if they are superheroes in their own epic adventures, replete with credit sequences written in comic-book font, an emphatic score and slow-motion hero shots of the dogs looking formidable in action.
The main narrative track focuses on Dutch Shepard Halo, the runt of her litter, as she’s selected as a puppy from a breeder by (ironically-named) Capt. Cat Labrada of Florida Task Force One. The future K-9’s skills will be utilized for intensive search and rescue missions requiring Halo to find humans buried in...

HollywoodNews.com: Run–do not walk–maybe gallop over to a series of dreamlike white tents that have planted down in the Meadowlands Sports Center next to the Izod Center. That’s where “Cavalia,” the Cirque du Soleil-like horse pageant opened last night.
:Cavalia” is the brainchild of Normand Latourelle, one of the founders of Cirque du Soleil. He was there in 1988 when Cirque first came to what was then a not totally built Battery Park City. Twenty one years ago Latourelle got the idea to bring dozens (actual number: 60) of Arabian horses and the best trapeze artists, acrobats, and performers together. He commissioned a musical score by Michel Cusson. In 2003, he opened the show in his home town of Montreal. Since then, it’s traveled to Miami, Los Angeles, and a few other locales.
