Wolf [DVD]
Sophisticated to a point, this well-executed wolf-man tale works due to its clever setting ... more
and enormous star power. We all know Jack
Nicholson can go nuts but the script makes his
character aware of his changes, sometimes for the
better, early on. The setting, a publishing house
in the middle of a takeover, gives the characters
dramatic life before the horror elements kicks in.
A senior editor about to get the boot, Nicholson's
character becomes a new man after being bitten by
a wolf. He takes on challenges at work, lives a
more robust life and attracts a new love. But will
his new-found energy consume him? Director Mike
Nicholson keeps the action alive in the first half
but the film peters out at the end with cheap
theatrics and the overuse of slow motion. Michelle
Pfeiffer has little to do as simply the love
interest with a grittier than average personality.
Better is James Spader as a smarmy colleague.
Nicholson is in fine form, relying on his keen
gift to spark interest (a twitch of the head, a
look in the eyes), instead of heavy doses of movie
make-up. Giuseppe Rotunno's sweeping camerawork
sets the mood quite well.Wolfis easy to recommend,

Red Wolf [DVD] [1995]
Director Yuen Woo Ping'sThe Red Wolfis, likeUnder Siege(1992) andSpeed 2(1997), ... more
essentiallyDie Hardon a ship. However, rather than
being "inspired by", this movie is virtually a
Hong Kong remake of the Bruce Willis action
classic, right down to the jump-off-the-roof
crash-through-the-window highlight. The setting is
New Year's Eve on a cruise liner which happens to
be carrying a consignment of plutonium. Gangsters
hijack the ship and it's up to an unnamed security
officer (Kenny Ho) and tender-hearted pickpocket
Lai (Christie Chung) to save the day. Budget
limitations are revealed by only having about 60
passengers, and by an almost complete absence of
shots of the sea, but the director manages to pack
plenty of extremely violent action and by playing
things straight generates considerable suspense
from the formulaic story. Helping immensely are
strong turns from Elaine Lui and Wing Cho as the
psychotically ruthless main villains. Some of this
film is very nasty indeed, so a tension-shattering
detour into slapstick by Chung is simply bizarre,
and the finale goes laughably OTT. The dubbing is
mediocre butthe blend of furious marital arts
andTerminator-style slaughter is still a winning
combination for hardcore action fans.--Gary S

this movie made me imagine what would it be like, if i were a werewolf. not a blood-thirsty hound, but a sensitive and passionate wolf. he can use it, he can abuse it, he can and he will suffer from it. the werewolves from horror movies are so funny comparing with this drama. mr.nicholson at his best, james spader and ms.pfeiffer as well. what makes me not to give this movie a 10 is the final fight between both werewolves, which was a kind of going back to the old horror werewolf style, but the epilogue with michelle pfeiffer's eyes becoming eyes of a wolf is truly an impressive experience

Disadvantages: None

...cautiously goes over to the wolf that’s lying in a snow bank, looking dead. Ultimately the wolf bites Randall on the hand. Next evening, at the office party at the boss’s house, Randall’s Boss Frank Alden (Christopher Plummer) basically gives Randall a choice, take a job in Eastern Europe or be unemployed. To make matters worse he is being replaced by his 30+ protégé, Stuart Swinton (James Spader), who is a total brown noser. Reluctantly, ...
...he is married. The wolf bite makes him start feeling more powerful and he turns down Eastern Europe. He starts acting more aggressively and starts fighting for his job, especially after catching his wife having an affair with Swinton, whom Randall bites on the hand. This movie doesn’t lack in any area. The plot is terrific from the beginning and keeps getting better through the whole movie. The characters and actors alike interact well with ... Read review

Disadvantages: unbelievable, awkward

...but the man turning into wolf story took second place to the love story involving nicolson and pfeiffer although the two should be interlinked as he should tell pfeiffer about it or at least want too it is not until the end that this happens. thr acting is perfect with nicolson being his usual brilliant self and michelle pfeiffer does all she can with such little too work with. most of the film is shocking and gripping but the chemistry that should ...

Review of Wolf (DVD) by angie1979

Advantages: Seeing Michelle Phiefer at her best
Disadvantages: Seeinh Jack Nicholson not at his best

Ok, first things first, this IS a decent film. I am not going to bore you with the plot as other reviews do this. What I will say is that the two leading characters have mesmerising chemistry, and you will enjoy it if you are fans of them both. If you don't particulary rate them the I would advise against buying this as there are planty more films to see the two leading roles shine in. The reason why I enjoyed this film so much was because it includes ... Read review

Wolf down some Prokofiev with a Sting in the tale
Review of Sting/COE/Abbado - Prokofiev - Peter And The Wolf (DVD) by  Maestrolover

Advantages: Spitting Image, lots of laughs, great intro to classical music
Disadvantages: Deflates a little in the middle, wanted more

...Introduction: Sometimes the strangest and most unexpected of combinations can work brilliantly together, so I was really intrigued to see that renowned Italian maestro Claudio Abbado had insisted that his DVD of Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" should use Spitting Image puppets! Somehow it seemed a rather improbable line-up: On one side as a supreme representative of "high culture", we have Claudio with his intense music-making and lofty interpretative ideas, conducting acclaimed recordings and concerts of Mahler, Mozart and Verdi to pick just a few highlighted composers from his long and illustrious career. At the other end of the cultural spectrum we have the Spitting Image team who are best known for their 80's TV series featuring bitingly satirical latex puppet portrayals of anyone famous (and infamous) from the Queen Mum...
