Drinking Piña Coladas At Trader Vic's

I mentioned in my last post that I was looking forward to the release of The Wolfman, and I was in good enough fortune to head out and see it early this afternoon. And since I usually try to discuss movies here after I've seen them, let's get into my opinion of it.

The thing is that I thought the movie was thoroughly mediocre. It wasn't a terrible movie, but I didn't think it was all that great, either. And the sad part is that I'm not really sure why I feel that way. Maybe it's because I've never exactly been ga-ga for werewolves? Maybe it's because it wasn't quite the thrill ride I expected from the commercials? I don't know. All I do know is that I left the theater with a general "meh" feeling.

I will admit that the movie has its share of cool moments, specifically the climax and a scene where Benicio del Toro rampages through a room full of people that mistake his lycanthropy for insanity. But other than that, it just wasn't the movie I was hoping it would be. I might give it another go once it hits DVD to see if my opinion would change any, but for now I'll give it three stars and say that it's watchable yet superfluous.

And on the topic of werewolves, can somebody pass along word that I really want to see Ginger Snaps 4? I've been wanting to see somebody follow up on the ending of Ginger Snaps 2 for a while now and I'm getting kinda antsy.
