Dog’s Movie HouseL “Mission Impossible-The Final Reckoning” Gives Ethan Hunt And His Gang A Thrilling Send-Off!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and it appears Tom Cruise’s nearly thirty year run on the “Mission Impossible” film series has finally come to an end, and what an end that is! Cruise and longtime collaborator Christopher McQuarrie have fashioned an adrenaline-fueled action spectacle that manages to narratively tie up any and all loose ends from the long-running series of films which began with director Brian De Palma way back in 1996. It’s a little overlong and a little overstuffed at times, but when the second half of the film kicks in, watch that first step: it’s a doozy!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another edition of The Trailer Dog Park. This edition features the teaser for the upcoming Mission Impossible featuring Tom Cruise that promises to be another stellar entry in the series. The next is the latest trailer for “Captain America: Brave New World” which features Cap (Sam Wilson) taking on a global conspiracy involving Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk. We get a much better look at Red Hulk in this one and “Brave New World” is shaping up to be one hell of a superhero adventure! So Sayeth The Kendog!
Dog’s Movie House: “Mission Impossible-Dead Reckoning Part 1’s” Only Flaw Is That It’s Only Half The Story!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at the latest in the ever-popular Mission Impossible franchise. This one’s called “Dead Reckoning Part 1” and their is no lie in the title. This film is the first in a planned two-part story that culiminates next summer with “Part 2.” You have to hand it to star/producer Tom Cruise and writer/director Christopher McQuarrie: they take a franchise that’s twenty-seven years old and continue to make it fresh and exciting, with each film generating more excitement then the last. The only thing that keeps “Mission Impossible-Dead Reckoning Part 1” from being on par with 2018’s “Fallout” is that it’s only half the story and that’s more of a personal bit of frustration for me rather then an actual critique.

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another episode of The Pat Walsh Show! This week we talk about some streaming films in between the big blockbuster summer films. The big talking point is about sequels that are better than the original film. It comes from continued conversations about the excellent “Top Gun: Maverick” which is on target to be the biggest hit of Tom Cruise’s legendary career. So if you missed the show last week, catch up on my appearance with Pat here and enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
Dog’s Movie House: “Top Gun: Maverick” Rousing Sequel 36 Years In The Making!”
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at the long-delayed sequel to the 1986 classic piece of cinematic machismo, “Top Gun.” This one’s called “Top Gun: Maverick” and, despite the Covid-19 delays and restrictive filming conditions, I’m happy to say that “Maverick” not only honors its predecessor; it surpasses it in terms of sheer thrills and cinematic craftsmanship. At the forefront is the ageless (well, almost) Tom Cruise, slipping into the character of Pete “Maverick” Mitchell like a comfortable pair of old slippers. He and director Joseph Kosinski have made a rousing, old-school Hollywood blockbuster that is guaranteed to have audiences cheering, clapping, and laughing in their seats.
