Carry On, a very good film released last year. Action and suspense.

The Wolfman with Benicio del Torro and other stars is in theatres from Friday. Mixed reviews so far but looks good.

I'm reading that the director's cut is the one to watch.

Are you sure?

There is a new 2025 movie called Wolf Man(two words) which I don't think del Toro is in

He's in a film called Wolfman from 2010

Unless I'm mistaken which is quite common!

On this occasion you're quite correct. :D I didn't watch the 2020 film and so got it around my neck, although I was suspicious about there being a director's cut even before the release! Does look good though.

Tried watching it last night. We suffered 42 minutes before binning it. I usually enjoy a good vampire movie, but did not enjoy this one at all.

You're much more patient than me, BB. I gave it 37 mins and 11 secs before I realised I had so many better things to do and watch. It was like watching a Hammer horror film - I kept expecting Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee to make an appearance.

If anyone makes it past BB's 42 minute mark and sees a substantial improvement, please let me know.

Had it on the Watchlist.....

And OH!! Show a little respect for Mr Cushing and Mr Lee - loved those movies as a kid... But guess the "Hammer House Movies" probably didn't appeal to the middle aged of the time... :roll:

[EDIT] Alien it is then for the next watch...

Don't misunderstand me, Pietro, anyone who can appear in Star Wars films 20+ years after his death is worthy of huge respect...

On Netflix... Ad Vitam is a good solid French action thriller

Babygirl..... stars Nicole Kidman

Implausible nonsense! Not recommended

Pity as I'm a fan of Kidman but she let herself down with this one
