The Wolfman (2010)

The 2010 remake of The Wolfman had the ingredients to be a horror classic. Its cast includes the likes of Benicio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, and Hugo Weaving. Rick Baker's makeup effects remain faithful to the original design while giving it new life. Then, there's the source material. 1941's The Wolf Man is solid, certainly old enough to warrant a remake, and would benefit from modern-day special effects in key scenes. Too bad this new story expands on the original in all the wrong ways.

After years of absence, Larry Talbot (del Toro) returns home for his brother's funeral. He discovers the beast responsible has been terrorizing the small town. Co-starring is Anthony Hopkins as Larry’s father Sir John Talbot, Emily Blunt as Gwen, the dead brother’s widow, and the full moon, who appears in every second shot.

This only feels like a remake of The Wolf Man in the most superficial ways: the names are the same, Larry returns home because of his brother’s death, and the titular creature has the same look. You look beyond those and you see this film by Joe Johnston for what it is: a schlocky piece of horror trash. It's un-scary and predictable. At least it looks like Anthony Hopkins had fun - probably because he realized quickly there was no reason to care. He stops just short of laughing maniacally while rubbing his hands in mischief every time he’s on-screen.

Horror movies often run out of steam towards the end. Most of the characters are dead, the monster’s been revealed, you’ve started figuring out its weaknesses, and the air of mystery that was so frightening at first has eroded. I can’t remember the last time I saw a third act as weak as this one. Maybe Mirrors? Again, you know EXACTLY what’s going to happen from the first few minutes. When it plays out as you predicted, it’s not satisfactory, it’s what you’ve been dreading the whole time.

Don't think it only falls apart towards the conclusion; the problems start as soon as the werewolf shows up. With the beast only appearing during the full moon, the plot must come up with endless excuses for months to pass by quickly. Meanwhile, we're subjected to clumsy mobs of villagers who accidentally get themselves killed. As you laugh uncontrollably at those poor fools and their gory demises, those around you will think you're destined for the nuthouse, which is coincidentally where the picture's only good scene is set.

Let’s talk about gore. Used correctly, blood, torn flesh, unspooling intestines can be truly horrific. 2010's The Wolfman tries so hard to be extreme, it'll make you blush. Every dismemberment, shredded throat, and decapitation would’ve been effective if it weren't so overdone. Having seen both the theatrical and the unrated version, I have to point you towards the theatrical cut. Not that it’s much better but at least it resembles a bit more what a horror movie SHOULD be and doesn’t include weird inconsistencies and continuity errors because of scenes that were added in.

2010’s The Wolfman is a perfect example of "less is more". It may have all the blood you could ask for, flashy transformation sequences, tons of shots of the full moon, and big action scenes, but you’d rather watch the imperfect, memorable, and classy 1941 version any day. It’s a huge disappointment for fans of the Universal Monsters, and an embarrassment for everyone who helped make it. (Unrated version on Blu-ray, April 29, 2017)

You Don’t Even Know What She Looks Like? (Spencer Reid x Reader)

Summary: Spencer’s girlfriend has always been mentioned. Never has the BAU team been shown a photo or given a small rundown of what she looks like. So, when Spencer announces that she’ll be visiting the office to bring him food on a late night, well, you can guess the chaos that ensues.

Warnings: none, very fluffy

Note: aww my first Spencer Reid fic! I hope you all like it <3

The BAU had only ever heard about Y/n. Never did Spencer show pictures of her or give descriptions on her appearance because he wanted to keep the majority of her to himself for as long as he could. Even though she had told him numerous times that showing them pictures and giving them more than the occasional chaotic story was completely fine by her, he never could bring himself to. That was until he started being away a lot more because of a continuous string of cases, making it harder for him to see her outside of the office. The first time she asked to bring him food when he was up late at the office doing paperwork, he declined, rambling about how he didn’t want to have to deal with all the screaming that would go on from the introduction of his girlfriend.

However, the second time she asked, he had had a hard case, one filled with innocent children and one that hurt him the most. As he sat in the chair of his desk, eyes staring at the wall as everyone around him scribbled down words onto paper, he knew he needed to see her. He would’ve left right then and there, but the stack of folders sitting to his left made him completely reject the efficiency of that idea. So, when her name popped up on his phone with a small plea to bring him food, knowing he hadn’t eaten as much as he should with the case, Spencer couldn’t say no.

”Guys,” He said, standing from his chair and turning so he could face the rest of the team.

Everyone’s eyes averted to him. Morgan leaning back in his chair, “What’s up, pretty boy?”

He twiddled his thumbs, “Don’t freak out over what I’m about to tell you, okay?”

At this, Emily and JJ perked up. Penelope, the woman passing by in the hall and overhearing his suspicious sentence, slid into the bullpen.

With everyone’s slow nodding, Spencer broke the news, “My girlfriend is coming in to bring me food.”

”WHAT?” Penelope shouted, completely disregarding his wish for them to be calm. She dropped the folder in her hands, not concerned that classified information lay beneath, and sprinted over to the tall man she knew as her friend.

She shook him, her hands on his shoulders, “SPENCER, ARE YOU MEANING TO TELL ME I’M ABOUT TO MEET YOUR GIRLFRIEND?!”

He giggled, “Yes,”

Morgan gave a glance to Rossi, who was standing against the railing and smirking, before standing from his own chair and making his way over to Penelope, prying her off Spencer, “Okay, babygirl, Spencer asked us to be calm about this.”

She turned to him, eyes widened, “Calm? No way will I be calm about this.”

”I’m with her on this one. Sorry.” Emily admitted, the woman standing next to JJ as the two joined the group.

Spencer rolled his eyes, “Seriously, guys. Don’t scare her away.”

Rossi cocked his head, “Scare her away? If you haven’t already after six months, I’m sure we won’t.”

Spencer frowned just as Penelope yelped, “Is that her?!”

Spencer turned his head to the door of the bullpen, seeing a blonde woman emerge from behind it. He shook his head with a laugh, “Penelope, no. That’s not her. You don’t even know what she looks like.”

Penelope stuck her tongue out at him just as JJ hollered, “That her?”

A random stranger passing by, Spencer shook his head once more.

Morgan joined in, “What about her?”

A man. Morgan pointed to a man. Spencer gave him a glance as Morgan giggled, never getting bored over a good teasing.

Emily tried to guess as well, “Hey! What about her?”

”No! Guys, I will tell you when she’s here.” Spencer said with a slight annoyance. His girlfriend had just texted him she would go to get his food. There was no way she was here yet.

The group got tired after a moment of pointing out random women and all fell back into their paperwork. After about ten minutes, Spencer stood from his desk.

Everyone in the BAU froze.

When he saw their stares, he laughed, “I’m just going to the bathroom. She’s not here yet, but if you stare at her like that when she comes, I swear to God she will run the other way.”

”Hey!” Emily exclaimed, throwing a crumpled up piece of paper at him as he pushed open the door and turned down the hallway.

There was silence for about three minutes seeing as Spencer wasn’t there, watching his mannerisms and determining if Y/n was close or not out the window with him gone.

A creek sounded throughout the floor as the door was pushed open. Y/n stood, with a white plastic bag in her hand, looking out at the people working at their desks. They completely missed the entrance. With no eyes on her, she moved to Spencer’s desk and placed the bag on top. Her eyes glazed over everyone before she cleared her throat, “Um, does anyone know where Spencer is?”

Morgan’s head snapped up as JJ and Emily stopped writing. Rossi’s door swung open and he stepped out forcefully, not graceful in the slightest. As if she was summoned, Penelope flew through the door of the BAU, almost tripping on her heel as she returned from her hibernation in her office.

With all eyes now on her, Y/n blushed slightly. Spencer had mentioned that everyone would be a bit overbearing, but she didn’t know even the smallest thing like their stares would be intimidating.

Penelope moved toward her first, looking at her as if she was an alien, “Are you Y/n?”

Y/n nodded and the entire group erupted into loud overlaps of coos and compliments. Spencer’s girlfriend stood in the midst of them all, being pulled into Penelope’s arms as the colorful woman hugged her tightly. JJ and Emily told her they loved the way she had styled her hair, asking how she had done it, and Morgan interrogated her on how Spencer had managed to “smooth talk” her. Rossi just nodded his head at her and extended his hand, murmuring his name and how nice it was to meet her.

Spencer was walking back from the bathroom, down the hall, when he heard the excited voices. He knew then and there what the situation was, and his feet began to pick up. He was practically running toward the BAU glass door and when he reached it, he yanked it open.

Everyone turned to him, his girlfriend’s face peeking out from behind them all and he immediately softened. The twinkle in her eye, the blush on her face, he could tell she appreciated finally being given the opportunity to meet his chosen family. Spencer wondered why he even waited to introduce her in the first place.

The man made long strides across the office, muscling through the small number of bodies before getting an arm’s length away from Y/n, pulling her into him by the waist.

He turned to everyone, smiling widely as his hand smoothed over her back lovingly, “This is Y/n, my girlfriend. Now, you can pick her out of a crowd.”

Why aren’t more people proud of Crowley. Even though he LOVES Aziraphale he refused to go because heaven would be toxic for him. He put himself first. THAT is proper self care.
