Werewolf of London is a classic and I am surprised you never seen until recently DP. Where do you think that Alamo joke came from? Everyone was saying it until it became political incorrect, but that was like two decades ago. Not a problem. Glad the wife enjoyed UPGRADE. Hey, at least it's an original story. Strange coming out of Hollywood  Right, everything is a retread lately. I watched The Original Universal WearWolf movie tonight... WearWolf of London, never seen it..... was really good Classic Flick. Svengoolie gave some interesting facts about the Director , Producer and Star having issues with the makeup Artist. Nice. I've never seen it before. I still have the Universal Classic Monsters Blu-Ray I've been meaning to watch but I just haven't found the time. It has the original Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolf Man, etc I really like them all, there are so many.

Are you Guys talking about An American Werewolf In London? If so I love that movie 🿠There is s also a song Werewolf of London not related to the movie.
TIS Love that one too TIS...... The one you mention is the 1981 version, really good flick. I was viewing the 1935 version....WereWolf of London , its old....its fun to see how the people lived back then, I always enjoy noticing the furniture and way they dressed and spoke to each other. The most remembered version is the 1941 WereWolf since it had Lon Chaney Jr. I enjoy them all. Check out all of these and the one with Anthony Hopkins.

OCEAN'S 8
A decade after our last entry in the Ocean's series, we're given the all-female version of the same thing. And, just like the GHOSTBUSTERS remake, it doesn't bring it. Nothing new is brought to the table with this installment. Just a regurgitation of what George Clooney and company did over 10 years ago. The cast is great but each one of them is so two dimensional. Nobody really stands out, hardly any humor and overall, just not a lot of fun either. Without spoiling anything, but towards the end of the movie, one of the reasons a character gives for joining in on this heist is extremely weak. Hopefully, we'll be spared and there will be no Ocean's 9. 5.5/10

I admire you Irishman for watching the films you do. For EG I wouldn't even have given Oceans 8 a second thought. To be honest it's very rear that i watch new films these days. The last new film i watched was The Hateful 8.. Agree. Appreciate the reviews big time that I12 posts..... I have limited Movie time and opportunity so this really filters a big group for me and my wife. I read them all and make notes so I can be informed when deciding what to go see or stream. Thanks I12

"BABY FACE" This pre-Code (1933) movie features Barbara Stanwyck as Lilly Powers, a tough cookie who waitresses for and is pimped out by her speakeasy proprietor father in dreary Erie PA. Escaping with her friend and sometimes maid Chico (Theresa Harris) by boxcar, she lands in NYC and is determined to sleep her way to the top of a big bank. Although dated, "Baby Face" is quite racy and overtly suggestive for its time. Stanwyck, always good, is excellent here--determined to get ahead and totally unsentimental about all the saps she seduced on the way up. One of them is naive Jimmy McCoy Jr., played by a very young John Wayne. Matinee idol George Brent is the last in line. Really good little (73 minutes) movie.

GOTTI
This has been getting some pretty bad reviews with it's recent release, however, I was quite surprised by the amount of people at the theater when I saw it (at least three-quarters full). There were a couple of problems with the film that I found. 1) it felt like Travolta was trying to play a gangster. I didn't really buy him as a John Gotti type, so when you can't buy in to the believably of your main character, you're already starting off on the wrong foot. 2) at the start of the film, they introduced a lot of characters, sometimes in a very short amount of time. Some of them played big parts going forward, however, some were never followed up with or heard from again, so really, what was the point of introducing them? Unless you were already familiar with them, you were lost as to their significance to the story. 3) the story jumped around quite a bit. The film opens up with John Jr. visiting his father in prison, telling him about him (Jr.) possibly taking a deal to avoid a longer sentence. The film then proceeds to jump back in time, then forward to father and son prison visit, then back again, etc. etc. Is this film a masterpiece? Hardly. Is it the worst film I've ever seen? Once again, hardly. I went in with low expectations and the film wasn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be. 4.5/10

Wife looking forward to the New Jarrasic Park film coming out.
I haven't seen the last one so I'm passing on this one. I'm sure I'll see them some day, but just don't have the interest at this time. I get that... I think that often.

SICARIO: DAY OF THE SOLDADO
I enjoyed the first SICARIO as it was a very interesting story, suspenseful, with a fantastic trio of leading actors (Emily Blunt, John Brolin and Benicio Del Toro). However, I was quite surprised when a second film was announced. This film continues the story of Matt Graver's (Brolin's) and Alejandro's (Del Toro's) relationship. The story is the Mexican drug cartels are helping terrorists cross the border illegally. As a result, the US government uses this as an excuse to manufacture a war between rival drug cartels by kidnapping the daughter of one of the heads of said cartels. Brolin and Del Toro are their normal badass selves, showing no emotion as these 2 heartless characters, who are nothing more than mercenaries. I was quite impressed with young Isabela Moner, who plays the kidnapped daughter of a cartel kingpin. She's able to hold her own and even push back against the likes of Del Toro in every scene she's in. Overall, it felt like a much longer film than it was, and while it wasn't bad, I enjoyed the first one more. Rumors are, depending on how this does at the box office, there's chatter of a third film and this film leaves the door open nicely to satisfy that need. 6/10

If u r into WW2 history like I, check out "Downfall".. based mainly on Hitler's secretary's memoirs on his last days in his bunker & the paranoia he endures within & around him as the allies move closer & closer... & he descends into madness ,,very moving & disturbing...released in 2004 w/Bruno Ganz in a riveting role. Thanks Hoodlum I too love WW2 history and will have to check this out.
