Agua Caliente Entertainment Report: “Wolfman” Reboot and “September 5” Hit Theaters This Week
In this week’s Agua Caliente Entertainment Report, Manny the Movie Guy gives us a look at two new films gracing theaters: the werewolf reboot Wolfman and the historical drama September 5.
First up, Wolfman—a modern reboot of the 1941 Universal Monsters classic. Manny notes that it spends too much time on the mental turmoil of the Wolfman and not enough on the thrilling aspects fans expect from a monster movie. With that in mind, Wolfman gets a mixed two and a half out of four "Howl at the Moon" kisses.
On the opposite end, September 5 is a historical thriller that takes a fresh perspective on the 1972 Munich massacre. Unlike Steven Spielberg's Munich, which focused on the geopolitical fallout, this film centers on the ABC sports crew covering the tragic event as it unfolded. The film immerses the audience in the chaos and tension of live television, making it an engaging, fast-paced 94-minute experience. Manny praises the film's pacing and its ability to capture the human side of history-changing news coverage, awarding September 5 three and a half out of four "Story That Changed Media Forever" kisses.
Both films offer unique experiences for moviegoers, with Wolfman appealing to horror fans and September 5 providing a compelling historical drama. Fans can catch both films in theaters now.
