And I kept wondering…why use it at all? Why not just say “Werewolves”? Same number of sylables and it avoids confusion.

I’m not saying I disagree with the OP, but in spite of all of that, I still found myself able to enjoy the movie. I’m even thinking of buying the DVD. The sequel – if there is one – will definitely be second run theatre material though.

I didn’t hate it. In general it was what I expect from such things. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad.

I haven’t seen it yet but the idea of Kate Beckinsale in leather is just…well…I’d probably have to watch it “alone.” That woman is so unbelievably beautiful I think I’m gonna have to go kick my dog.
