The Wolfman, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Simon Merrells Cemma Whelan Emily Blunt Benicio Del Toro Mario Marin-Borquez Asa Butterfield Plot:Extras: Scene Access Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes My Thoughts: The 1941 Wolf Man has always been one of my classic horror movies. So when I first found out they were remaking it I felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension. I always though the trick to a good remake was to change enough to give us a new take on the story... but at the same time make it similar enough to do the original version justice. Which can be very hard to get the right balance. In the case of The Wolf Man I think they did a pretty good job at achieving this balance. Even though there was some things changed in the story that I didn't care for... but there were some things that I also did care for as well. One thing I am thrilled about is they kept the classic look of the Wolf Man. Over-all I enjoyed it quite a bit and glad I finally have it in my collection.

(From Reviews and ramblings by Gunnar on May 14th, 2013) The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ DoenaQuantum Leap ![]() What's the show about? Sam Backett jumps through time and space. But he does not do it with his own body and he cannot control where or when he jumps. But wherever he goes, something went wrong in the original passing of events and Sam has to fix it. His only help is Al, an admiral that lives in the time Sam came from and presents himself to Sam as a neurological hologram that only Sam can see or hear. "Genesis" A man wakes up and does not know who, where or when he is. The only thing he does know is that he's not Captain Tom Stretton, but that's who is supposed to be. And Cpt. Stratton is supposed to fly an experimental mach-3-jet. Sam has lost practically all memories about him and his life and Al isn't allowed to give him his memory back because it would weaken the chances of successfully bringing Sam back. But the original Tom Stratton has died in the attempt of surpassing mach 3 and Sam has to survive this trip in order to return home. My Opinion I love this show because it's always fun to see how Sam has to adapt to his new body and environment, especially when he jumps into a non-white/non-male. I also thought that it was a great idea that Sam tries to contact his father again, when he has the chance to. (From The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon on January 2nd, 2008) |
