Dog’s Movie House: “Day Shift” A Fun, Urban Spin On The Vampire Genre!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at the Netflix Original film “Day Shift” featuring Jamie Fox as Bud, a vampire hunter in Los Angeles who is looking for a big kill (the fangs sell for big money!) He needs the big score to keep his ex-wife (Meagan Good) and precious daughter (Zion Broadnax) from moving to Florida. The problem is that he’s a little too good at his job and he’s been kicked out of the Hunter’s Union (really?) and now needs to get back in to rake in the big bucks. With a little help from legendary hunter Big John (Snoop Dogg, doing his Snoop Dogg thing) he gets a shot, but it’s a probationary one. He’s accompanies by Seth (the scene stealing Dave Franco), a desk jockey whose job is to make sure Bud doesn’t break the rules (Spoiler alert: he does!). It’ll take all of Bud’s abilities along with a little help from his friends to keep a powerful Uber-Vamp named Audrey (Karla Souza) from taking over Southern California and then (cue dramatic music). . .THE WORLD!

Dog’s Movie House: “Bodies, Bodies, Bodies” Sharp Satire Masquerading As A Horror Film!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a little written work this week. My microphone is on the fritz and I have to get it fixed this weekend, so no audiocast this week. I promise I will keep this brief and to the point. Today we’re looking at Halina Reijn’s “Bodies, Bodies, Bodies.” It comes from a script by Sara DeLappe and tells the tale of a group of young adults who decide to have a “hurricane party” at a posh mansion belonging to Dave (Pete Davidson). When everyone gets there the storm and party both get into full swing and the diverse group (you’ve got gay, straight, white, black, etc.) of friends start playing a fictitious game called “Bodies, Bodies, Bodies” in which one of the friends is the “murderer” and rest have to figure out who it is. When someone really ends up dead, the game becomes serious and the ever-shrinking group of friends have to discover who the real killer is. During the frantic evening, old wounds and recriminations surface leading to lots of very sharp dialogue from a generation of people who thing picking at open emotional wounds in the perfect definition of friendship.

Dog’s Movie House: “Vengeance” A Decent Debut Thriller From First Timer B. J. Novak!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with an audiocast of the new film “Vengeance” from B.J. Novak. He does triple duty here as writer, director and star for his debut, which is pretty darn good.
