The Wolf Man. My son loves the old Universal monster movies :) This movie is the only one of the set sadder than Frankenstein. I really enjoyed how into it Nick got, especially when Larry was attacking first the girl and then his father. Those movies can still turn a key, if you get the setting right (low light, no talking, cell phones, getting up every two minutes, etc).

The unexpected joys of having an appointment cancelled at the last minute, allowing me to see LOGAN in a cinema with only about 11 other people.

PERFECT.

Totally stripped of any bombastic superhero bulls--t, this is the Wolverine movie we've always been promised. My interest in the X-Men series now officially ends with this film. Goodbye Hugh. You were lightning in a bottle.

A Cure For Wellness - a movie about unsettling wandering around a sanatorium searching for an ending then, when it finds one, wishing it had a better one
Logan - old Wolverine and old Professor X preventing girl with claws from being recaptured. The last of the original X-Men goes out with a fitting closure as the franchise grows up. Warning: NOT for kids.
Patriots Day - the Boston Marathon bombing turned into an action thriller, but done well and respectfully.

Wild In The Streets. Uncle Stevie mentioned this one in Danse Macabre as a social horror film. It was made in 1968 so it's a bit dated in some respects. The narration is kind of off-putting (and Disneyphiles will recognize Paul Frees voice immediately) and the first 15 minutes or so is strangely directed and edited in a stuttering freeze-frame style but, once it gets going, it gets pretty groovy. The premise -- what if the under-25 set realized how much power they have if they'd take it - has some parallels with current circumstances. The last scene gives us a "where will it end" sort of thing, letting us extrapolate. Good performances by Shelly Winters, Christopher Jones and Hal Holbrook and a very young Richard Pryor.

To me, the most chilling line is delivered by Pryor as Jones tries to decide whether to run as a Democrat or Republican; the former is more in line with their values but the latter will allow him to do whatever he wants as long as they are in power. Pryor, the wisest of Jones' entourage, sighs and mutters, "Republican." Indeed.

In your mirror.
Good rainy, cold and grey Saturday afternoon. :)

The Conjuring 2. (It's okay but about 25-30 minutes too long.)

The Purge: Election Year (It's okay, I guess.)

Fifty Shades of Grey ;;D (Have mercy. I guess if you have nothing, nothing, better to do and you have been staring off into space for more than a few hours...watch it. :laugh: Maybe not.)

They are all available right now at Full Unblocked Movies 24.

I might watch Magic Mike on Hulu later today. :blues:
