Dog’s Movie House: Thanksgiving Holiday Roundup Featuring “Wicked,” Gladiator II” And “Moana 2”
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here, back after a bit of time off for the Thanksgiving holiday! Hope you all had a great Turkey Day with family and friends. (And let’s not forget the food!). Although Dog’s Movie House has been a bit silent for the last week or so, I did get a chance to at least see the big movies of the Thanksgiving season. And boy, was it a big two weeks! First “Wicked” and “Gladiator” had massive box office returns the week before Thanksgiving. Then, on the week of, “Moana 2” arrived and told the other two films to “hold my beer.” What’s really encouraging is that all three movies are actually pretty damn good!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here after a week of vacation to get right back into the movie mix. Let’s jump right in and talk about “Black Adam,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s passion project that has taken the better part of a decade to get to the big screen. Is it worth it? The answer is mostly yes, but not the slam dunk it could have been. “Black Adam” tries for a few edgy elements to differentiate itself from other superhero flicks, but the nature of the origin story keeps snapping “Black Adam” back into comfy CGI-kickassery-ville.

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with an audiocast of the latest animated film hitting theaters this week.

Dog’s Movie House: “Red Notice” Slick But Slight Star Vehicle Featuring Big Time Actors Having A Good Time!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at Netflix’s latest, an action thriller from the guy who brought you “Dodgeball” and “Central Intelligence.” This one’s called “Red Notice” and features the star-studded trio of Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot in a film that’s slickly shot and nicely acted, but slight in terms of story. That said, the actors are having a ball and director Rawson Marshall Thurber has a nicely kinetic style that keeps the film moving at a brisk clip. And since it’s on Netflix, you won’t have to worry about getting your money back if you don’t like it. (But I’m betting you will.)

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at Disney’s latest attempt to turn one of DIsneyland’s iconic rides into the next big film franchise. This time it’s “The Jungle Cruise” with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Emily Blunt lending their considerable star power to the film. Fortunately “The Jungle Cruise” has more in common with “Pirates Of The Carribean” rather than “The Country Bears” and director Jaume Collet-Serra (“The Shallows”) and his team have crafted a wonderfully entertaining film that honors both the ride as well as some classic adventure films that serve as this particular movie’s inspiration!
