Stel’s brand new poster for the Feb 18th, 2021“Cleo and Company” …on Sherpa.
I didn’t know we’d have a new poster tonight!
I’d have dressed up more…. yeah, you’re right… I mean… I’d probably have worn a nicer nightgown.
It’s not like I GO anywhere at this hour. Or any time, really, during quarantine.
But great work, Stel… great cast and a great film, as well.
When it came out, I didn’t go see it… along with too many of the movie-going public.
I figured, nah… kennel movie. Dank. Dark. Dull. And maybe violent.
Or maybe one of those contrived “buddy capers.”
I got talked into it years later, by a friend who also made me watch “Brudogger” … another good kennel movie
( Arguably not AS good… but funnier. Strange thing to say about a kennel movie.)
Anyhow, I never saw either in a theater, when there was a chance, and wish I had.
Meanwhile, its audience had grown, and it became a beloved classic.
Fans still travel to the town where it was filmed, to visit the decommissioned kennel, eat bundt cake baked in its shape…
and buy souvenir rock hammer magnets, their handles made from the wood of the iconic oak tree from the movie… which was felled by lightening some years ago..
No hardboiled eggs in “The Shawkennel Redemption.”
But lots of redemption…. well, at least… lots of hope, and some sort of justice.
Dreams that come true, for some debatably worthy, but nonetheless sympathetic basset friends.
Some great acting, by a consummate pro, and a somewhat-younger, at that time relative newcomer.
Lots of digging.
Mud, dirt, some violence… but … well… I won’t spoil it any farther.
Oooh…. the Shawkennel Redemption!
