The Kenblog: Classic Movie Scenes – The Truck Chase From “Raiders Of The Lost Ark!”
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another Classic Movie Scene! This one features the highlight of one of the greatest adventures of all time. “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” was released by Steven Speilberg in 1981, a brainchild of he and George Lucas! Featuring Harrison Ford as the iconic archeologist Indiana Jones. Locked in a battle with the Nazis for the Ark Of The Covenant, Indy spends most of his time in Egypt in the lost city of Tanis. When the Nazis take back the Ark, Indy chases the convoy down on horseback and the result of one of the most iconic chase scenes in cinematic history. With pulse-pounding music by John Williams, this chase scene is worth revisting over and over again! So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Kenblog: The Opening Sequence In “Saving Private Ryan” Is The Most Harrowing Way To Honor The D-Day Invasion!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a one way I can honor those who fell during the historic invasion of Normandy, or D-Day, which is marking it’s 80th anniversary this week. A lot of the classic war films of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s had their hearts in the right place, but neither the technology or the inventiveness to make it truly immersive. Then Steven Speilberg comes along in 1998 and knocks our collective socks off with “Saving Private Ryan.” While an excellent movie all around, “Saving Private Ryan” really excells in the opening 10 minute in which Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) and his team land on the beach at Normandy. It’s exciting, enthralling, and terrifying all in equal measure and nothing that follows quite matches it. I can’t think of a better way to honor those who fell than by showing the closest approximation to the terror that those brave soldiers went through. Keep that in mind as you watch this clip! So Sayeth The Kendog!
