Teen Wolf Howls Again!!

This ain't your daddy's teen wolf!!!

Some of you out there (and their parents!) might remember the classic Michael J. Fox  comedy/horror movie teen wolf which aided to propel the diminutive 80's star to soaring heights might reminisce with this new TV series....

but....

They'd be sorely mistaken and probably scratching their heads with this new take on an old movie.

Take this new TV series as a sort of "loosely based on the 80's movie Teen Wolf" instead of a loyal remake.  And thank god for that!  I mean come on, a basketball playing werewolf? While in wolf form???  Geez! Realistically, he should've devoured all the players along with the audience... Heh... I'm not saying the movie wasn't good, it was!  In an 80's campy way. I fondly remember the Wolf Dunk during the game and it was really a fun movie.

Bu that won't fly with today's audiences...  This new take on Teen Wolf puts a proper spin on the subject of being a teen werewolf with the right amount of horror and suspense and some comic relief on the side... plus the acting's not too bad.  You might be reminded of twilight due to the teenage angst but you can't fault them for following a formula that sells to today's youth...

But the main story arc is still there.. lanky, loser kid with asthma gets bitten by a werewolf and suddenly turns into sports star and Mr. Popularity.  They replaced basketball with lacrosse(???) and plays the heightened senses of his wolfish side a bit more on the show.

The series has only been out a couple of weeks and there's only been 2 episodes so it wont be hard to get yourself up to date...

Do check it out and spread it if you like it... ;)

It's hard to howl when you're mumbling...
