Wolf

Summary: Wicked good fun!
Review: Imaging the weirdest of all actor getting even weirder. That's what happenes when Jack Nicholson hits a large black animal and is bitten when he attempts to remove it from the road.
I love this movie as it shows the strength and rejuvination which comes with the werewolf's bite. Jack Nicholson is old but has an OK job, he has a cheating wife, and a new nose which smells a drop of tequilla in a cup of coffee on your breath.
He learns more of his internal demon wolf as the moon cycles. He also finds a way of controling his complete change, but when a new woman in his life is in danger from a rival wolf he must decide if he really wants to.

Summary: A movie where the wolf is a good person (for once)
Review: Jack Nicholson delivers wonderfully in this movie- in fact, Michelle Pfiffer does too! Alas the only that doesn't deliver in the end is the movie itself. It has incredible spoilers and great acting, and a very origanal plot- but when it comes down to it I would not recommend watching it a second time. You start asking "Why is this happening?" or "Who scripted this scene?" It's a lot choppier and makes little sence once you take the time to look at it from a broader point of view. If Jack Nicholson does little massacuring in this film as well, so if your here to look for gore, look elsewhere. There are some creepy (and some disturbing) images, like when he pulls someone elses fingers from his pocket. Sadly fingers have bones in them, and these bonce like... well, rubber (what they're made out of). A good film for Werewolf lovers and fans of the stars, but people looking for meaning should look elsewhere, unless they themselves are going through exactly the same thing.

Summary: Great Werewolf Film
Review: Jack Nicholson is great in this movie. He brings just the right amount of ferocity to the role. The special effects are good. Anyone who likes the supernatural will like this film.

Summary: It is a wonderful movie.
Review: Jack Nicholson is wonderful. In my opinion this movie is the best werewolf movie I've seen because it truthfully portrays the werewolf. It shows love, passion, and is funny in some parts. If you love the myth of the werewolf you'll love this movie!

Summary: Jack the wolf
Review: Jack Nicholson plays a werewolf, and he's the most natural werewolf since Boris Karloff. James Spader plays a weasel and he is equally adept in that role. Rounding off this impressive ensemble cast (for a werewolf movie) are Christopher Plummer as a man with altogether too much wealth and power, and Michelle Pfeiffer as his lovely daughter.

Fans of werewolf movies may be surprised at the timbre of this particular tale. The whole story is very surreal and has an everpresent dream-like feel to it. The special effects of werewolves & transformation are actually pretty scarce. The film instead mainly focuses on the psychological metamorphosis of man turning into beast.

Perhaps most jolting to viewers of WW movies is the body count. Or, should I say, the lack thereof. If you're looking for a WW movie that has scene after scene of poor chaps being mauled, this one may not be for you.

This is a well done film if you're looking for a more cerebral type of WW film than the normal fare. As I mentioned, the cast is also a higher calibre than normal. If ever there was a WW story that had a haunting elegance to it, this just might be it.

Summary: A Howl of a Good Movie
Review: Jack Nicholson stars in this frighteningly good movie as Will Randall, an editor in chief of a book publishing company. The opening scene shows Will driving along an isolated strech of snowy road when suddenly a wolf bolts out in front of his car. The car strikes the wolf, and Will stops to investigate. The wolf, seemingly dead but very much alive, bites Will on the hand.

Will has been demoted in his company; forced to choose between a less desireable position or no job at all. Stewart Swinton, played by James Spader, has received Will's old position.

Meanwhile, Will is undergoing physical changes, such as a heightened sense of smell and hearing, all caused by the wolf's bite. With his heightened sense of smell, he notices a strange smelling cologne on his wife's clothes. He then discovers that his wife is having an affair with Stewart.

Soon, Will is becoming involved in a new relationship of his own with Laura Alden (Michelle Pfeiffer). Laura also happens to be the daughter of Raymond Alden, his former boss, played by Christopher Plummer. As Will and Laura begin to get close, Will begins to show symptoms of being taken over by the spirit of the wolf. As the moon rises, Will decides to go outside and is soon chasing down deer. However, the following morning, Will is completely unaware of what happened the night before. He later learns from an old wise man that the wolf grows inside the man until the first full moon, then the wolf consumes him. Will is given an amulet to wear around his neck to keep the wolf spirits at bay.

The realization that he is turning into a wolf finally begins to sink in, and Will handcuffs himself to a radiator in his hotel room to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else. He's already killed a gang member and he's afraid he may harm Laura, who's become very attracted to him.

A police detective comes to Will's room to tell him that his wife has been murdered. Immediately, Will suspects that he did it while under the influence of the wolf.

After arriving back at Laura's house, Will is locked in the barn to keep him from hurting anyone else when the moon comes out. Laura then goes to the police station to give a statement. When she arrives at the station, Stewart is there, and mysteriously, he's displaying the same wolf traits as Will. It seems that somehow during an earlier confrontation, Will must have somehow bit Stewart. Now Stewart, after losing his newly-gained position back to Will, is out for revenge against him. Which wolf will win?

This is an excellent movie. Jack Nicholson has always been one of my favorite actors, and he was the perfect choice for this role. James Spader and Michelle Pfeiffer are captivating as well. Notice Michelle's yellow eyes and heightened sense of smell at the end of the movie. The action is non-stop and the special effects and wolf make-up are first-rate. Watch this movie and have a howling good time along the way.

Summary: The Epitome of High Class Horror.
Review: Like "Mary Reilly" and "Mary Shelly's Frankenstein", "Wolf" is an Underrated, High Class Horror film that takes a Classic tale and gives it a little Spin. Jack Nicholson gives a Crazed Performance up there with "The Shining" and Mike Nichols Directing is Subtle enough to please Critics, while also being Strong enough to Satisfy Horror fans.
