Seen the latest issue of Empire with the promo art for Van Helsing next year?
Moody shot of the Hels (played by Hugh Jackman) but even better, great shots of Dracula, Wolfman and Frankenstiens Monster.
So good i've even managed to push the memory of Monster Squad to the back of my mind...
But does wolfman have nads?
Monster Squad was good!
The way he howled when the fat kid kicked him in the goddamn nuts would suggest so.
Horace: Wolfman's got nards!

Mark my words Mangamax.
This WILL be crap. It's directed by Stephen Sommers isn't it the director of two of the worst boffo box office of the last few years, The Mummy and The Mummy Returns.
Still Hugh Jackman could save it if he dosn't do a Brendan Fraser.
Mind you I was partly wrong about Daredevil wasn't I. The film rocked but that Adam West lookalike sucked.
Hey, what are you doing buying that self congratulatory yuppie mag for.
I have a feeling that Hugh Jackman could be the new Vin Deisel, and not in a good way.
Answers:
(a) How dare you? I never buy that smug mag that is Empire - read the office copy instead.
(b) Have never rated Hugh Jackman to begin with. Wasn't convinced with his Wolverine (too pretty) and his performance as a computer expert in Swordfish was so unconvincing it was funny.
Mummy was bad. Mummy Returns was worse .
Swordfish was utterly appalling.
I just love the way that the portray computers in movies. I know for a fact that we don't thave six keyboards and twelve overlapping screens and knock up virus' that can get you into the pentagon in less than three seconds flat while twirling round in a chair with a huge snifter of brandy and a fat cigar before dramatically hitting enter.*
It isn't like that and it makes me wonder just how far removed from truth all of the other professions you see in movies are. Surely all Fireman behave like they do in BACKDRAFT (rushing into one building without even pausing for hoses) and surely all police behave like they do in... well, every Lethal Weapon film? The film makers wouldn't lie to us would they?
*bizarrelly though, the bit about Halle Berry gratuitously showing off her norks happens on a daily basis.
All Nuculer Scientist's look like Denise Richards - they're just really well disguised.
