Dog’s Movie House: What to See!
Howdy folks! It’s The Kendog here back from a month long absence to try and pull this thing together. A rather serious health scare involving my wife kept me on the shelf for obvious reasons. Thankfully, she is doing well and on her way to a full recovery and I am now trying to figure out a schedule to get thing s back on track! Continue reading
Dog’s Movie House: “Cars 3” Lovable End To Cars Trilogy!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog!
Lightening McQueen in “Cars 3”
Pixar’s Cars franchise has always been considered the acclaimed studio’s red-headed stepchild. While the animation has always been top-notch, many felt the storytelling was more simplistic than classic Pixar fare like “Toy Story,” “Up,” and “Inside Out.” I find myself in that camp as well, but unlike some of my colleagues I very much enjoy the Cars films for what they are: wonderful cartoons designed primarily for kids. In the case of “Cars 3,” Pixar has decided to forget the Mater-centric “Cars 2” doesn’t exist and bring a nice, sentimental conclusion to the story of legendary racer Lightening McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson).

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog!
An Uninvited Guest In “The Conjuring 2”
A lot of sequels unfortunately follow the law of diminishing returns. (See my review of “Now You See Me 2” here as proof) Fortunately there is one filmmaker out there who knows that having a number after the title of your film doesn’t mean the finished product has to be a piece of brain dead dreck when it arrives in theaters. That filmmaker is James Wan and he is rapidly becoming the preeminent voice in cinematic horror. “The Conjuring” was one of the best horror films in recent memory and I’m happy to report that, while not quite in the same class as the original film, “The Conjuring 2” is close enough in quality to its predecessor that it is guaranteed to scare you witless in all the best ways.

First, Variety is reporting that Thor: Ragnarok writer Christopher Yost has been tapped to write the script on the long-gestating “Masters Of The Universe” film for Escape Artists studios. You can read the entire story here. Continue reading
