Mac, thanks for the well thought out, Reuben-esque critique.

iHaunt, thank you for the Picasso.

Thank me for the Picasso? What do you mean? Just curious.

It's pretty self-explanatory. Something so beautifully abstract that it has a life beyond it's mere physicality.

Still, something that I don't get it....

Anyways... I still don't understand from Andy!

While it looks great, I mean "The Wolfman", it neverthelesslacks the suspense and terror that would support the film's amibtions. It is more notable for what it is not than for what it is. It is not a campy, silly modernzation of the original 1941 "The Wolfman". Benicio Del Toro, with his uniquely craggy face, seems a perfect choice for a horror movie, but perhaps not for the role of a hero who champions humanity.

BTW, he just turned 43 yesterday!

Ok, I got it about Picasso thing.

Anyway, "The Wolfman" takes place in the Scottish Moors complete with huge ancestrial mansion, fog and mists. I love to encourage some fellow haunters to see it.

BTW, please stay scary!

iHaunt, the reason why "The Wolfman" lacks suspense is because we allready knew the story. Who hasn't seen the original 1941 Lon Chaney version? No story is going to have as great an impact as it does the first time it's told, or you see it on the screen. I think the new "The Wolfman" is a timeless classic in it's own right. Lon Chaney will allways be the archatypical Wolf Man, but that doesn't mean that the story of Larry Tolbat can't be retold effectively, AND, I wouldn't be suprised if the new "The Wolfman" was actualy the first time that some younger people actualy saw the Larry Tolbat story.

It's going into my personal collection the veryd ay it's released to DVD.

I liked it but it was way too predictable. I thought it should have been more digital enhanced, with much more detail. Oohh well!!
