The Wolf Man (DVD)

Advantages: Classic 80's movie
Disadvantages: None

...hilarious. It?s actually on the basketball court that Scott reveals himself as The Wolf. During a scrum for a wayward ball Scott gets angry and becomes the wolf for the first time in front of practically the whole school. It is quite funny to see their reactions and then weird in that everyone just carries on before like seeing a wolf man is no big deal. What makes me laugh is that being the Wolf suddenly makes Scott a much better athlete. Before, he is just an ordinary player, a bit short but works hard all the same. Once he is the Wolf he is dribbling and hitting jump shots like the best of them. However, is this fair and should he continue to play as the wolf or be the bigger man and play as himself and with his team. This is probably the underlying message that the film is giving viewers, the difference between right and wrong and how... Read review

...I recently purchased this DVD after one of my friend's made me watch her copy, because I loved it so much! The plot is based on Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, but is a more modern version with slight changes, obviously! The main character Viola (Amanda Bynes) is desperate to prove she is a good football player after being told she cannot join her school team because she is female. She plots to disguise herself as her twin brother Sebastian and take his place at his new school (whilst he is away with his band) to prove her football skills. She manages to convince everyone she is male (albeit a slightly odd one) - even popular girl Olivia gets a crush on her/him. Viola, however, has fallen for her roommate Duke (Channing Tatum :P ), who has been helping her with her football, but she cannot reveal this due to her disguise. All in all... Read review
