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
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog with a look at the new Tomb Raider Movie!
Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft in “Tomb Raider”
Video game movies have been really hard to do well. Even the most successful have their share of faults. “Mortal Kombat” and Angelina Jolie’s Tomb Raider movies are often considered high points of the sub-genre but the bar has admittedly been set fairly low. Still, with the video games themselves becoming more and more cinematic in nature, you have to figure somebody in Hollywood’s gonna get it right eventually.

So without further ado let’s jump right in to the deep end of the pool and figure out the big winners from this coming Sunday’s biggest awards show!

Rachel McAdams Gets Her Gun On In “Game Night”
Sometimes very good films have the unfortunate task of following a phenomenon. “Black Panther” is breaking records and is rapidly becoming the cinematic story of the year, but it’s far from the only good movie out there! This week there are two outstanding new films that deserve to be seen on the big screen and, unfortunately, will have plenty of seats available as “Panther” continues to dominate in its second week. If you want something different, I recommend “Game Night” and “Annihilation” for your viewing pleasure.
