Yes, HOYTS cinemas across Sydney (I don't exaclty know how far this promotion goes...but here in the West, it applies!) have movies showing for, yes, $10. 50. And I benefited from this cheap sale when my dear, dear adopted brother realised what day of the week it was. But since I was very smart (LOL) and organised the whole thing, I knew it was best to keep my mouth shut about the fact that I had already seen a movie that day. But in the end we made a few phone calls - epic fail, considering we were only joined by one more person.
So here we go...
The Wolfman starring: Bencio Del Toro and Emily Blunt
Following the legendary stories of ware-wolves and the evil that set upon a person being bitten by one.
As Lawrence Talbot (Del Toro) is forced to return to his cursed childhood home on the occasion of his brother's disappearance, he knew not what to expect from its remaining inhabitants. His father, a distant brute who enjoys his solitary dwelling with no intention of re-connecting with his eldest son; the Care taker who knows more than he is willing to share about his brother's death and a Miss Gwen Conliffe (Blunt), his brother's betrothed, who seems determined to know who killed her future husband.
On the twist of events, Lawrence finds himself in the mercy of the savage beast whom only the gypsies understand. Ideally, no science, no religion and no logical explanation can be given for the curse bestowed upon the Talbot family. The answer is in the ancient writings of a gypsy's tablet.
I didn't really like this movie. A movie that's two hours should have than enough time to show how a woman can fall in love with a man she's never ever met - especially if she's suppose to save his life from the cruel fate of being a ware-wolf! Alright...alright...sorry...although in the movie's defense, maybe that was the point. In the end, they just didn't know each other enough to love each other...fair enough...I get it now! LOL!!! FAIL girl!
Anyway...
What I did like about the movie was the little bits of clues to how everything is connected to one another. I can't really say anything else without spoiling it for all you people who want to see it. It's one of those movies where people will say, "Aww...well, it was alright - but I don't think I wanna see it again."
Although, if you though Tropic Thunder's freaky fake guts thing was gross DO NOT watch this movie - it's absolutely worse. And if you don't like jumping in your seat I DON'T recommend that you see this movie. And if you're going to watch it as a group - do not be the only girl, but if you are, make sure you're not sitting in the middle, because the guys will seriously take the mickey out of you and this movie.
