Dog’s Movie House: “Molly’s Game” Unfocused But Entertaining!

 

Howdy Folks!  It’s The Kendog!

Jessica Chastain As Molly Bloom In “Molly’s Game”

 

 

 

Aaron Sorkin is one of the most talented writers in entertainment.  He’s written scripts for such incredible films as “A Few Good Men” and “The Social Network” and was the creative mind behind the television hit “The West Wing.”  He’s never actually directed a film until now.  With “Molly’s Game” the true story of “Poker Princess” Molly Bloom, he gets to direct a radiant Jessica Chastain from his own script and the result is a highly entertaining, if slightly unfocused film.

The Kenblog: “Top Ten Movies Of 2017!”

Howdy folks!  It’s The Kendog with my list of the top ten movies of this year!

You have to admit, this last year has been crazy when it comes to the movies.  Venerable franchises like Transformers and Pirates of the Caribbean floundered and an Amazonian warrior ruled most of the late spring box office.  Marvel soared and The Justice League just kind of. . . laid there.   The Minions and Star Wars continued to kick ass and the live action Beauty And The Beast made the old seem new again.  And let’s not forget the frightening adventures of a certain clown named Pennywise. Yes it was a fascinating year for movies and without further ado, here is my top ten films of 2017!  Enjoy!

Dog’s Movie House: “Shape Of Water” Outstanding, “All The Money In The World” Solid Entertainment!

Howdy Folks!  It’s The Kendog with a couple of new releases you should check out!

Doug Jones As The Creature In “The Shape Of Water.”

 

 

Awards season is rapidly approaching in the film business and while “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” is cleaning up the box office, several other new films are vying for both your dollars and a piece of the awards pie.   Into this mix are two standout films, both made for adults.  Guillermo Del Toro’s latest, “The Shape Of Water” makes it easily on to my top ten list this year, while Ridley Scott’s “All The Money In The World” is a fine film but an even more amazing filmmaking accomplishment in that Scott and his team had to reshoot entire sections of the film just months before its release, replacing the fired Kevin Spacey with Christopher Plummer as J. Paul Getty.

Dog’s Movie House: “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” Best Star Wars Since “Empire!”

 

Howdy Folks!  It’s The Kendog!

Mark Hamill Returns As Luke Skywalker In “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”

 

 

 

I must apologize for the lateness of this post.  I’ve been under the weather a bit lately and with all of the Christmas preparations underway it’s been a tad difficult to keep up with the site.  For that I am truly sorry.  However, you can catch up with my latest audio reviews of “Ladybird,” “Three Billboards,” and others by clicking on the link to the America Matters Media website and searching for the show “Dog’s Movie House” among the many podcasts.  That should keep you up to date as my health continues to improve.  That said, it’s time for my review of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”  I will keep this review spoiler-free for those of you who haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but I will say that writer/director Rian Johnson has definitely made a film that takes some terrific story Doturns while still feeling like a Star Wars film.   It manages to darken things up a bit thematically while still providing the humor and fireworks one is accustomed to seeing in a Star Wars film.   In short, “The Last Jedi” is positively terrific!

The Kenblog: “Disneyland” During A Simpler Time!

Howdy Folks!  It’s The Kendog!

 

I have a deep and abiding love for all thing Disney.  I am especially fond of Disneyland and all of the classic attractions I remember enjoying as a kid, when my grandparents and my parents first let me experience “The Happiest Place On Earth.”  That said, Disneyland was going strong by the time I visited for the first time.  My mother and her folks actually went the year it opened and I still remember Mom’s recollections of her first theme park experience.  Now, thanks to my brother’s intrepid searching of YouTube, I have for you celebrity coverage of the opening day of Disneyland in 1955 in glorious, non-HD black and white!   Enjoy and feel free to comment below!  So Sayeth The Kendog!  Continue reading →
