Wolf (1994)

Classy horror flick
Look in the bushes! Is it a dog? Is it a cat? No, it's Wolf,
brilliantly portrayed by Jack Nicholson. By day, a mild-mannered senior
editor at a book publisher who eschews pop culture for quality work; a
man who would never publish such trash as "If I Did It" (You did it OJ,
be a man and admit it). His job is being lost to a suck-up (James
Spader) to the mega-media baron (Christopher Plummer) until he
discovers his new powers that came as a result of being bitten by a
wolf. Discarding his wife, who is having an affair with Spader, he
hooks up with the moguls daughter, the luscious Michelle Pfeiffer, who
he charms in the Jack Nicholson way.
Now, I have to ask here, how does Nicholson get all those great lines
to woo the babes? I remember when he used that famous "You make me want
to be a better man," in As good as it Gets. Well, there is an equally
great one in here:
"I've never loved anybody this way. Never looked at
a woman and thought, if civilization fails, if the world ends, I'll
still understand what God meant."
I am going to have to start collecting these to try out.
The film had some great acting, some great writing and great music. I
was really very watchable as horror flicks go - no nasty scenes.
How does it end? You know that someone has to get bitten, and someone
has to get their throat ripped out, but you have to watch it to see
who.
