One of the first big films premiering in 2025 is Wolf Man, a remake of the classic monster movie, but before audiences head out to see the new project, they should check out these movies first. Directed by Leigh Whannell, Wolf Man is a reboot of the 1941 horror movie, The Wolf Man. Although the films do not share the same premise, their end result is the same. A man in a new town gets attacked by a wolf and finds that he is changing into a horrifying beast. 2025's Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner.

The development of Wolf Man has been fairly interesting. First announced in 2014, the movie was originally supposed to be part of a shared cinematic universe featuring Universal's Monsters. However, after the failure of 2017's The Mummy, this idea was abandoned. Fortunately, the remaking of Universal's Monster flicks has not been totally forgotten, as...

Core pre-Code excellence! This movie delivers sexy situations while nailing small town intolerance and hypocrisy. When push comes to shove, the slighted and slandered Nancy Carroll makes daring, socially unacceptable choices that would never be allowed after the Production Code was enforced. Gorgeous Carroll is a vivacious blend of Clara Bow and Claudette Colbert. She must choose between slick playboy Cary Grant and hunky geologist Randolph Scott. What she really needs is a bus ticket out of her Town Without Pity. The picture is funny, well observed and well written. And it has Grady Sutton — ooh!

Some movies attempted to change social attitudes from the very beginning, and director Lois Weber made that goal her specialty, with a great many enormously popular films of the ‘teens and ‘twenties. Milestone’s disc of a Dutch restoration of this 1916 gem is a major find in terms of film culture: it helps write women filmmakers back into the historical record.

One of the last discoveries in film school was finding out that all silent films didn’t use exaggerated expressionistic acting.

Pioneering woman director Lois Weber socially conscious drama 'Shoes' among Library of Congress' Packard Theater movies (photo: Mary MacLaren in 'Shoes') In February 2015, National Film Registry titles will be showcased at the Library of Congress' Packard Campus Theater – aka the Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation – in Culpeper, Virginia. These range from pioneering woman director Lois Weber's socially conscious 1916 drama Shoes to Robert Zemeckis' 1985 blockbuster Back to the Future. Another Packard Theater highlight next month is Sam Peckinpah's ultra-violent Western The Wild Bunch (1969), starring William Holden and Ernest Borgnine. Also, Howard Hawks' "anti-High Noon" Western Rio Bravo (1959), toplining John Wayne and Dean Martin. And George Cukor's costly remake of A Star Is Born (1954), featuring Academy Award nominees Judy Garland and James Mason in the old Janet Gaynor and Fredric March roles.

After announcing her cancer diagnosis in December, Jen Arnold declared her fight against the life threatening disease was successful.

On Tuesday (February 4), "The Little Couple" star revealed to People magazine that her cancer is in remission. "I had my official last chemo treatment," Miss Arnold explained. "And while I'm hesitant to say I'm cancer-free - maybe that's common for people who have cancer - I'm doing great."

She continued, "Everything is moving in the right direction. I am very excited."

Jen also took to her Twitter account and shared the special news to her followers, "It's official - Me 1 vs Cancer 0... I Win! Thank you for all the prayers, thoughts, & support!"

Her husband Bill also tweeted, "My wife has confirmed what I knew would happen all along... she beat the ever living sh*t out of cancer. I love you @JenArnoldMD."...
