Dog’s Movie House: “First Man” Leads The Way Of What To See This Week!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with looks at a couple of this weeks films including Damien Chazelle’s latest, “First Man.”
Ryan Gosling is Neil Armstrong in “First Man”
Biopics are tricky things. Do them right and you get a riveting cinematic incarnation of some of histories most important events. Do it wrong and the audience is falling asleep just like they did during high school history class. Fortunately, “First Man” is solidly in the former category although it does have a few flaws. Plus we take a look at “Bad Times At The El Royale” and last week’s champion, “Venom.”
Dog’s Movie House: See “La La Land,” Skip “Resident Evil”
Howdy folks! It’s The Kendog!
Emma Stone And Ryan Gosling In “La La Land”
It’s definitely a tale of two movies this week. I finally caught Oscar favorite “La La Land,” and I have to say it’s a darn sight better than any of the new releases this last week. Is it worth the fourteen Oscar noms? Well that’s a matter of opinion and I’ll let you know mine in a minute or two. I can say “La La Land” is a vast improvement over the final (hopefully) installment of the long running “Resident Evil” franchise. If this were a boxing match between two directors, Damien Chazelle (“Whiplash,” “La La Land”) would beat Paul W.S. Anderson (“Mortal Kombat,” “Resident Evil”) down like a government mule within a single round.
