The plot: Jason Bateman plays Todd, cousin of Michael J. Fox's character from the first film. First world problems plague Todd at his new college, but then things get wolfy, and his popularity starts to rise. BUT AT WHAT COST?

Random observations:

Voted #85 of IMDb's Bottom Rated Movies
Jason Bateman's film debut and he's lucky it wasn't his finale.
Michael J. Fox turned down the chance to reprise his role mostly because he didn't want to go through the hours of makeup application

Well, those were more like random facts today as opposed to random observations, but whatever. Jason Bateman is super charming, but he can't hold a candle to Michael J. Fox.

The verdict: I can't imagine this being anyone's favorite film. If you are a werewolf or Jason Bateman completionist, you may as well watch it, but otherwise, it's sort of pointless and might make brain cells fall out of your bum.

Random observations: The moving in montage music makes me want to set the alarm for 3:15am. Baby Chloë Grace Moretz is cute. I think this is the first movie I saw where I finally allowed myself to realize that dads could be hot. The original Amityville Horror is one of my favorite movies. I saw it at a young and impressionable age and I was still very open about paranormal a...

Random observations: After watching 1921's Destiny directed by Fritz Lang this morning, it's quite noticeable that the film quality of this movie has degraded greatly since the '40s and could do with a facelift. However, part of the charm of the early 40's b-movies of this budget lies in the imperfections themselves. If you watch this film on Amazon, please note that there are no closed captions available. The soundscape of this film is akin to an arctic wolf sanc...
