Dog’s Movie House: Zach Cregger’s “Weapons” One Of The Best, Original Horror Films In Recent Memory!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at the new film from one of the talented young filmmakers in the business. Zach Cregger burst on the scene a couple of years ago with the delightfully bonkers “Barbarian.” That first film was a sprawling story that took so many twists and turns you felt […]
Dog’s Movie House: “Fantastic Four: First Steps” Finally Gets Marvel’s First Family Right On The Big Screen!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some good news for fans of The Fantastic Four. The enduring team of Marvel heroes has been adapted to the big screen three different times.

Dog’s Movie House: “Jurassic World: Rebirth” is 7/8th’s A Great Film, But The Finale Falters!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and I have to admit I’ve enjoyed all of the Jurassic Park and World films. The World Trilogy has a lot more going for it than one might think, taking the story in interesting directions even though they don’t always pay off. But the dino action is always consistant […]

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at Joseph Kosinski’s latest, “F1: The Movie” which takes the viewer into the high speed world of Formula 1 Racing. The script tells the familiar underdog tale of the scrappy old-timer teaching the talented rookie to win, going through the standard trials and tribulations until finally […]
Dog’s Movie House: Pixar’s “Elio” Will Steal Your Heart!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and all of you know what a fan of Pixar I am! It’s been thirty years since the arrival of “Toy Story” and no animation studio has been as consistent as Pixar in terms of quality. They’ve had a few misses such as “Good Dinosaur” and “Lightyear” but for […]
Dog’s Movie House: Live-Action “How To Train Your Dragon” More Than Justifies Its Existence!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and I have kind of mixed feelings on this trend of “live-action” remakes of animated properties. I think that, when done well, these films bring something new and dynamic to a classic animated tale, but if not, these films come off as a blatant cash grab. Of course, Disney […]
Dog’s Movie House: “From The World Of John Wick: Ballerina” A Fine, Fun, Bloody Addition To The World Of John Wick!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and everyone who knows me knows I absolutely love the John Wick series of films. Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahlski have crafted some of the most exciting, visceral and kinetic action films of all time and the story still remains compelling after four films. In Wick, Reeves has […]

If anything, “Bring Her Back” is even more disturbing and […]
Dog’s Movie House: “Karate Kid: Legends” Undermined By Slight Script, Too-Quick Pace!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and I find it interesting that “The Karate Kid” has become a long-running franchise, thanks to the popularity of the six season “Cobra Kai.” The show introduced a new generation of viewers to the rivalry between Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence. Not only did the series give depth and […]
