Wolverine

Ever been kept awake at night wondering what happened to the Wolverine to strip him of his memory? This film will answer all your deep seated and burning questions about his origins and what motivates Wolverine to combat the forces of oppression. In yet another fad set off by Star Wars, this fourth installment in the X Men series is actually chronologically the 1st in the series. It starts with James Logan’s recognition of his powers and subsequently troubled childhood in the company of his similarly gifted half brother Victor. The film journeys through time with Logan increasingly acting as a check on Victor’ growing violence and bloodthirstiness, until the two are declared mortal enemies, and Logan assumes the identity of the Wolverine. Liev Shrieber puts in a fang-tastically scary performance as the depraved killing machine Victor, and Hugh Jackman is unnecessarily shirtless (and even once in a full birthday suit) often enough to draw in female audience members and skeptics who don’t normally gravitate to comic book adaptations.
