Yes, The Wolf Man, obviously.

Good fun. Not a classic. As [livejournal.com profile] xnbach noted, very hardcore werewolf. And lots of guts for a 15-cert. Didn't quite pull off the CGI face-change in full light but everything else worked. Sir Anthony Hopkins underplaying seems very strange in this day and age. Danny Elfman score added to the unreal Burton-y feel of the CG-ed up Victorian London. Loved the shoutout to Rick Baker's previous werewolf triumph with the bus.

Trailers: Freddy Kruger is apparently German now, which'll probably cut down on the wisecracks in the sequels. Shutter Island, same trailer as August apart from the date at the end. (What happened there anwyay?) Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston fight crime, or something. Maybe in a funny way. And Bourne Versus The Dodgy Dossier continues to look awesome but also shakycammy.
