The Kenblog: “Knott’s Berry Farm, The Anti-Disneyland!”

Howdy folks! It’s The Kendog here expanding on some good old-fashioned nostalgia I started last week with a vintage film about the first decade of Disneyland. When I was a kid Disneyland with the place, but I also have fond memories of Knott’s Berry Farm. It was so different from The Magic Kingdom and that was part of its charm. The rides were different with attractions like Knott’s Berry Tales, Montezuma’s Revenge, The Corkscrew, and The Soapbox Racers to name a few. It felt like a good old fashioned county fair in both atmosphere and execution and let’s not forget about that incredible fried chicken dinner!

Over the years Knott’s has transformed into another Magic Mountain wannabe, much to my disappointment, but the memories of all of those childhood visits will remain with me forever! On that note, check out this cool little documentary detailing the history of Knott’s Berry Farm and feel free to hit me up on the comments or on Facebook! So Sayeth The Kendog!

Dog’s Movie House: “Fatal Affair” Only Detrimental To Viewers!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog with a look at Netflix’s original movie, “Fatal Affair.” Now you guys know me as someone who is quick to give a pass on a film if it’s at least competently made because it takes a lot of work and hundreds of workers to bring the film from concept to screen. But every once and a while I have to put my proverbial foot down when a film is, in this case, boring enough to put me to sleep not once, but twice during it’s less than ninety minute run time. Consider this a rare public service message to avoid streaming this at all costs!

The Kenblog: Vintage Disneyland!

It’s The Kendog with a bit of fun throwback stuff. As a big Disneyland fan it’s always fun to go back to the old days and see what it was like before I started my several visits to “The Happiest Place On Earth.” And with bad news assaulting us on a daily basis, I thought a little bit of the feel-good was in order. Enjoy and feel free to comment below. So Sayeth The Kendog!

Dog’s Movie House: “My Spy,” “The Old Guard” Leads What To Watch This Week!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog with a look at a couple of theater quality movies now streaming for your enjoyment. Sorry about the delay in posting this last week or so but real life sometimes intrudes and keeps me away from the Movie House. (In this case a busted toilet and all the “fun” that entails kept me busy for most of the week and believe me, when you live in a one bathroom house the need for a working toilet takes on a whole new sense of urgency!)
