The Dogcast: “The Blair Witch,” “Snowden” Lead The Way!

Howdy Folks! Welcome to another edition of the Dogcast!

Today I’m talking about “Snowden” and “The Blair Witch!” “Snowden” is an interesting flick that may be a little too slanted in the favor of its title character, but that is to be expected in an Oliver Stone film. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is fantastic and the main reason to watch the film. Meanwhile, “The Blair Witch” is a disappointing sequel seventeen years in the making. The novelty of the found-footage subgenre of filmmaking has lost its luster and this film is all buildup with no payoff. Listen to the full cast below, feel free to watch the clips afterward and always feel free to comment. Enjoy the Dogcast and we’ll be talking to you soon! So Sayeth The Kendog! Continue reading →

The Kenblog: Top Ten Films Of The Summer!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog with another edition of The Kenblog!

The summer is behind us and while there were more than a few flops (“Ben Hur,” “Alice Through The Looking Glass”), This actually turned out to be a pretty decent summer at the movies in terms of quality. You just had to look a little harder than usual to find them. Some of these movies have been criminally under seen, but a lot of these flicks are still in theaters so you have some time to catch them before they eventually make their way to video. Listed below is my list of the ten best films of the summer. Feel free to comment below if you disagree! Continue reading →

The Kenblog: Five Great Action Movies!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog!

Just got back from watching “Mechanic: Ressurection” and found it to be a serviceable, if unexceptional, action movie. Statham is good as always, but he can do this kind of stuff in his sleep, and the direction by Dennis Gansel is somewhat flat at times. As I was watching I found myself thinking of the true classics of action cinema, movies that can transport you with awesome set pieces and incredible choreography. So for you, my dear readers, I’ve come up with a list of five (for the time being) of the greatest action movies of all time. Feel free to comment and add some of your own! So Sayeth The Kendog!

The Kenblog: What’s Wrong With WB’s Superheroes?

Howdy folks! It’s The Kendog!

Jared Leto as The Joker in “Suicide Squad”

It looks like “Suicide Squad” is in the same boat with the critics as “Batman vs. Superman” earlier this year. Despite heavy promotion, a different director in David Ayer and a superstar cast including Will Smith and Margot Robbie, this latest foray into the DC Cinematic Universe has been slammed by critics much in the same manner as Zach Snyder’s latest tent pole effort involving the Bat and the Big Blue Boy Scout. You listen to my review here and while I’m not as pessimistic as my colleagues, I do think of “Suicide Squad” as a missed opportunity. DC has an incredible comic history with some of the most iconic characters in fiction. Making a cinematic universe with entertaining and engaging stories should be a walk in the park, but somehow Warner Bros. has made a point of creating polarizing pieces of entertainment that fail to resonate with the general movie going audience.
