The Plot: Nobleman Lawrence Talbot (Del Toro) returns to his ancestral homeland, where his brother has gone missing and villagers are being killed by a nightmarish beast. The search reunites him with his estranged father (Hopkins) and draws him near to his brother's fiancée (Blunt), however, Talbot's lager concern is the discovery of a side to himself which he never could have imagined existed ...

THE BUZZ: An iconic monster is resuscitated, and the industry is wondering: How will this measured approach to horror filmmaking translate with modern audiences? It's been a guessing game for Universal, who took it off the spring 09 calendar at the end of 2008, then moved it to VDay 2010 toward the end of summer 2009 -- the holiday is typically kind to horror films, however and I feel like Benicio Del Toro will be the pop-culture talk of the season. Mostly I hope that the picture will rekindle the movie-going public's affection for Emily Blunt (ditto Agent Smith, who plays the role of Det. Aberline, which was not a part of the 1941 original).

THE BUZZ: Harry Potter is going out of business, and Hollywood still hasn't found his successor. The Lightning Thief is book one in Rick Riordan's series of five proper novels to date; can Philsopher's Stone director Chris Columbus put this franchise into motion? The young adult in all of us could use a new hero, and Columbus's career needs a renaissance as well.

THE BUZZ: Currently, Disney is creating new hand-drawn animated movies while simultaneously converting a handful of their classic features into 3D for re-release. Cyclical genius. The Toy Story double feature was a hit the second time around; something tells me Beauty's appeal might be even more far-reaching.

THE BUZZ: Strike through all those notions of awards-season glamor for this reunion of Marty and Leo, since reports of marketing-budget shortfalls and promotional challenges (aka DiCaprio's availability) shuttled the movie into the middle of winter. Don't think it'll hurt the thriller's box-office, though, since it's been testing through the roof. Nikki Finke digs out the scoop.

THE BUZZ: Why do I suspect Lionsgate is eyeing this as a potential franchise, since it brings to mind buddy action-comedies of yesterday such as Lethal Weapon and the now-ten-years-old Shanghai Noon? With the Taken/Transporter creative team behind the camera, one thing is for sure: this will be much more entertaining Travolta-in-action adventure than the clanging, repellant, and underperforming Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. That said, while the influence of American heroes in Paris is a bit questionable, I'd rather see producer Luc Besson play around with Hollywood cliches here than blow out the storyline in his excellent District 13 saga.

THE BUZZ: Yes, so this is first time Kevin Smith has directed someone else's screenplay; like that is a bad thing? We love the big man and his writing, but the idea of him simply injecting some profanity into a blacklisted script has us a-gog. And phew on this turning into Bruce Willis' umpteenth career renaissance instead of a Robin Williams-starring non-starter. By mixing together some of TV's best performers (we of course love Tracy Jordan for "30 Rock" but really Dicks supporter Michelle Trachtenberg kills it as Georgina on "Gossip Girl") with a clutch of his old cronies, Smith's hard-R, buddy-cop, action-comedy could become a winter version of a summer blockbuster. Just go easy on the life lessons, okay?
