Dog’s Movie House: “Nobody” The Anonymous Action Hero Courtesy Of The Writer Of “John Wick!”

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at “Nobody” the latest story about an unassuming man who has, in the words of “Taken”, “an unusual set of skills.” The plot of this story is nothing you haven’t seen before at least in some variation and the action, while visceral and well-choreographed, is also nothing revolutionary. What makes this film stand out is the lead performance of Bob Odenkirk, probably best known for his lead performance in “Better Call Saul.” His world-weary, beaten down everyman who finally loses it is the highlight of the film.

Dog’s Movie House: “Boss Level” Violent, Entertaining Take On “Groundhog Day.”

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog with a look at Hulu’s latest original movie, an action film from Sacramento’s own Joe Carnahan.

Dog’s Movie House: “Welcome To Sudden Death” formulaic but enjoyable action flick featuring the underrated Michael Jai White!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a new film on Netflix featuring a guy who should be a waaay bigger star than he is. The film is called “Welcome To Sudden Death” and the featured actor as Michael Jai White, a talented fellow who, were there any justice in this world, would be near the top of the food chain in Hollywood when it comes to action stars. The film itself is a fairly formulaic affair but has enough slightly off-center performances and decent action to warrant a watch. It also is less than an hour-and-a-half long, which means it doesn’t overstay its welcome. It also features as its biggest asset the cinematic badass known as Michael Jai White!

The Trailer Dog Park: New Bond Coming Soon!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at the latest trailer for Daniel Craig’s last go-around as James Bond and this one looks like a good one. It’s called “No Time To Die” and is scheduled for release in November. (With the way things are going, we’ll see.) In any event, you all know what a big Bond fan I am and especially of Craig’s portrayal of Ian Fleming’s famous secret agent. “Spectre” was decent but a little underwhelming so I’m hoping Craig goes out with a bang. Enjoy and feel free to comment below. So Sayeth The Kendog!
