Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at Netflix’s latest original movie, “Project Power!” With a top-flight cast and an interesting hook, this film, although no classic, is more than interesting and entertaining enough to recommend for this weekend’s viewing. A socially provocative take on the superhero genre (with shades of Bradley Cooper’s “Limitless) there’s enough originality in “Project Power” despite the fact that the film borrows from several different films.

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at two new releases on streaming platforms that you can watch this weekend. The first is David Ayer’s latest, a gritty crime thriller called “The Tax Collector.” The second is a nifty little horror film called “What Keeps You Alive.” Both are well made, but Ayer’s film unfortunately suffers from a stereotypical script while “What Keeps You Alive” is an unexpected gem.

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!
