Short, sweet.

The Wolfman was written by Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en) and David Self (Road to Perdition), which made me think it would be novel or, at the very least, interesting. Sadly, I was wrong.

Other than Rick Baker’s effects (which are even more impressive than his American Werewolf in London effects — the reason there’s a Makeup Oscar) and Anthony Hopkins’ and Hugo Weaving’s reveling in making something out of very little, it’s a long and dark movie with a bunch of BOO! moments, most of which turn out to be all in someone’s head (or are they…?).

And Benicio Del Toro looks like Mr. Hyde (when he isn’t lycan’ out). And Emily Blunt’s job is to quiver her lip (which she totes does).

C+/B-

Is it possible I disliked the movie because I am getting incredibly sick (I coughed up a pound of phlegm this morning — I weighed it and everything)? Maybe. Is my illness why I’m taking a nap now and putting off writing about the Post until tonight/tomorrow? Yes.

Do I still love you all? Mos def.

Have a great weekend!
