Dog’s Movie House: “Halloween Kills,” “The Last Duel” On Tap For This Week!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at two highly anticipated releases in theaters this week. First we have Ridley Scott’s “The Last Duel” which features Matt Damon and Adam Driver as former friends and dueling knights who battle to the death over an accusation of rape. Then we have “Halloween Kills” the sequel to the highly successful 2018 reboot of the Halloween franchise featuring everyone’s favorite William Shatner-masked serial killer Michael Meyers. Of the two, “The Last Duel” is the better film, but “Halloween Kills” is not without it’s horror thrills though it fails to live up to the cleverness of it’s predecessor.

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at two highly anticipated movies. The first is the return to the world of The Matrix with “The Matrix Resurrections” featuring the return of Keanu Reeve’s Neo (who looks a lot like John Wick now). Featuring groundbreaking special effects and a hopefully engaging plot, “The Matrix Resurrections” looks like an entertaining return to the world of virtual reality and high-tech wire-fu. Next we have Edgar Wright’s latest called “The Last Night In Soho,” which is about a woman in this time obsessed with the 1960’s whose fantasy and real world start to collide with increasingly horrific results. Edgar Wright is one of my favorite filmmakers and this looks crazy enough to be a refreshing original horror-noir piece that will stand out for all the right reasons. Enjoy the trailers and feel free to comment below or on my Facebook page. So Sayeth The Kendog!
Dog’s Movie House: “Malignant” interesting but flawed James Wan horror film!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at James Wan’s latest horror opus, a film called “Malignant.” The creator of such horror classics like “Saw,” “Insidious,” and “The Conjuring” has come up with an original tale that has a lot to like but takes a little while to get going. The last half hour saves the film from becoming run-of-the-mill, but it morphs from a would-be scary film into a more of an action, science fiction hybrid. The first half of the film is a bit messy and inconsistent and some of the performances are a little, well, off. But taken as a whole, the novel concept and Wan’s filmmaking prowess gives “Malignant” an entertaining jolt at the multiplex.
Continue readingDog’s Movie House: “Don’t Breathe 2” Brutal Film That Lacks The Suspense Of The First Film!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at a sequel no one was sure they wanted! The movie’s creatively titled “Don’t Breathe 2” and is the five years in the making follow-up to 2016’s surprise horror hit “Don’t Breathe.” Both feature the uber-talented Stephen Lang as Norman Nordstrom, a blind former Navy Seal who has fighting skills that John Wick would envy and an attitude that would give Freddy Krueger nightmares. Here’s the thing folks: the first film establishes Nordstrom as a truly reprehensible villain who barely qualifies as a human being, which is great given the nature of the first film in which the home invasion trope is flipped on its head. This second outing tries to establish Nordstrom as a more sympathetic figure which becomes more and more problematic as the film continues, resulting in a technically proficient yet dramtically bankrupt film.
