Trend Alert: Wolves! (Duh. We know you know.)

If New Moon's shape-shifting wolf isn't your thing and you've just been sitting around waiting for a Gothic period piece starring Academy Award winners Benicio Del Toro and Sir Anthony Hopkins to get in on the wolfperson trend, then maybe The Wolfman is for you.

The update of the 1941 classic horror film looks pretty action-packed. And it even comes with a poem: 

"Even a man who is pure of heart
And says his prayers by night
May become a wolf
When the wolfsbane blooms
And the autumn moon is bright"

That's meaningful stuff. Now, the biggest problem is probably all that CGI. It's always so distracting. Yeah, we know it's hard turning people into wolves, but that's why it might just be best to go the Shakira route in the future:

Just bodysuits and weird dancing.
