New Release Tuesday

It has been slow on the release front lately but that will change next week.

1981 produced two classic werewolf movies with the best being An American Werewolf in London and this as the runner up.  Dee Wallace plays a reporter that covers some grisly murders and uncovers something much more hairy.  Great stuff here from director Joe Dante.

A political, sci-fi kind of thriller where the government tries to cover up a satellite collision with a UFO in space.  Stars the late, great Darren McGavin.

Based on a true story, North Face is a suspenseful adventure film about a competition to climb the most dangerous rock face in the Alps. Set in 1936, as Nazi propaganda urges the nation's Alpinists to conquer the unclimbed north face of the Swiss massif - the Eiger – as two reluctant German climbers begin their daring ascent.  Clint Eastwood conquered this mountain in 1976.

One of the funniest movies ever!   Steve Martin was the king of comedy with this and his Saturday Night Live appearances back in the day.  Martin and director Carl Reiner could do no wrong on this and I hope this is the original cut of the film as opposed to the more “politically correct” cut.  The highest of recommendations.

Also one of the funniest movies ever!  This is a comedy composed of many segments and also has a short spoof of Enter the Dragon called ‘A Fistful of Yen’.  This is movie is hilarious and has a ton of cameos.  Directed by an unknown John Landis at the time.  Also the highest of recommendations.
