Movie Review: The Wolfman (2010)

So, since im doing this movie every day until halloween thing i quickly ran through my movie budget for the rest of the month (after seeing my soul to take twice and Devil). Since my budget was depleted i turned to my friend lazer (not his birth name) to borrow a new-ish horror movie from him. Lazer has like the best DVD collection. Who needs blockbuster when you've got lazer!

So he gives me two things. The Wolfman DVD and a suggestion to check out the song "videogames" by the backout band. I like video games so i watched it. what the heck? a bunch of kids singing about video games. Thanks for wasting my time lazer!!!

so, the wolfman is like all modern movies, a remake!!! universal decided to try and make a few extra bucks and had some hack director and a cast of hack actors that ive never heard of try to make this new movie as close as they can to the original but with like 100$ million worth of special effects. pretty typical stuff if you go to the movies a lot.

so since ive seen a lot of warewolf movies and this one didnt have anything knew i had trouble paying attention. i just kept thinking of that videogame song!!! what the heck was the story behind it???

since i had to see this, you do too

so i grabbed my laptop and did a little research. i came across blackoutband.com which isnt a website for the band, its a website for their song, videogames. what the heck??? as it turns out the genius behind it all is this dude hunter, who, as punishment was told to write a song about video games because of all the time he spent playing video games. then according to the website, everyone started flipping out because it was SO GOOD. they couldnt stop humming it!! The band worked out most the stuff but couldnt come up with any more words (because teenages have no idea how to read or write!!!!!) so hunters mommy wrote the rest for him, and gave him his jammies out of the dryer, along with some cookies and milk then kissed him goodnight. 

so the fab three played at their local talent show in school and, again according to their website, everyone started flipping out EVEN THE TEACHERS. they decided then it was time to make a video and record 3 more songs (instead of bothering to make an album!!!)

someone had rich parents who were trying to live their dreams through their children!!! we should lock up all involved parties and throw away the key!!!!!

so i didnt bother listening to the rest of the songs but i did notice that the group is for hire for TEEN PARTIES if you're planning on throwing one maybe hire them???

so as for the movie, it was nothing but pure garbage, another remake or maybe theyre calling it a sequel i dont know. a guy turns into a warewolf, gets killed by a mob, and repents. there is a howl suggesting there is a new wolfman, of course leaving this open for a sequel. lets all hope they dont make one. because once again hollywood decided to reuse an idea that has been made a billion times i must give this movie my lowest possible score, ** two stars
