Dog Soldiers is a fun as hell werewolf movie with pacing that's a notch too fast so many of the non-main characters are just sort of there, the tension is minimal, and you find yourself wondering how all of these people in the first half hour found themselves in this situation while maintaining the composure of people already an hour into a werewolf movie. The movie knowing what it is (werewolves vs. soldiers) kinda gets in the way of the movie setting itself up but hey the characters who do get developed are great, you get all the action you were hoping for and then some so it's a solid 6.5/10 and the delightfully gooey werewolf carnage knocks it up to a high 7.

Now onto Howl from 2015. A werewolf movie about a train stopped in the middle of nowhere that I guess is about being a customer service drone who hates their job until people realize how awesome you are at dealing with werewolves.

The Lost City of Z

Charlie Hunnam can't act his way out of a see through bag. Robert Pattinson is a f*cking underrated actor and a half. This was a bit of a chore to get through as the pacing and editing was terrible but that imagery and location photography were excellent. They filmed this sh*t in a reall ass jungle. That's cool. The story was okay and I read that they took some liberties with how it actually panned out but it's definitely a nice movie if you like long adventure films. Seriously though, that Hunnam kid sucks.

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood

Standard Tarantino fare, if a bit slow paced. There are a lot of driving scenes to set the mood. No real plot to speak of, just snapshots of an earlier time. Enjoyable, but nothing spectacular.

QUICK!!! AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON OR THE HOWLING?!?!?! I've watched two solid werewolf movies already but I feel like it's time to watch the definitive werewolf movie and I need immediate assistance.

Don't chill the f*ck out, Bats. Keep calling Chris a bitch.

Did I win though? Are you watching AW in L? Are you watching AW in L with pumping out a L from your PP like you said you would?

Have you seen Jumanji? There's a part where one person becomes a monkey and that's basically the same thing.
