New Movies This Weekend: Wolfman and September 5 Reviewed by Manny the Movie Guy

Welcome to the Agua Caliente Entertainment Report, brought to you by Agua Caliente Casinos. If you're heading to the theater this weekend, there are two films you won't want to miss: Wolfman and September 5. Manny the Movie Guy brings us a preview of both films.

First up is Wolfman, a reboot of Universal's classic 1941 creature feature. This new take on the lycanthropic legend stars Christopher Abbott as the troubled man-turned-monster. Directed by Lee Wannell, known for his work on the Invisible Man reboot, Wolfman dives deep into themes of isolation, anxiety, and dread. While the psychological elements are compelling, Manny points out that the film ultimately falters by focusing more on character introspection than delivering the horror fans expect from a werewolf movie. As a result, Wolfman receives a rating of 2.5 out of 4 "Howl at the Moon" kisses.

Next, September 5 takes audiences back to the tragic Munich massacre of 1972, but through the eyes of the journalists covering the event. Director Tim Feldbaum's historical drama-thriller brings a fresh perspective on this harrowing story, focusing on the groundbreaking live television coverage of the massacre. Manny praises the film for being both thrilling and engaging, with a tight 94-minute runtime that captures all the emotional intensity of the moment. September 5 earns a solid 3.5 out of 4 stars for its riveting portrayal of an event that changed media history forever.

So, whether you're in the mood for a psychological monster tale or a gripping historical drama, these two films promise an exciting weekend at the movies.
