Teen Wolf 101 Review- Wolves With Stiles

Jackson- "Where are you getting your juice?"

Scott- "My mom does all the grocery shopping."

I don't blame MTV for trying to cash in on the current vampire and werewolf craze, considering its audience is the same that gives Twilight every award known to man at every MTV Movie Awards.

Basing the new series loosely on famous 1985 movie Teen Wolf seemed like a good way to gain an entirely new audience, as fans of the Michael J. Fox film might give it a shot.

Although I was born in the year the original movie came out, I have seen the Wolf perform his patented two-handed block and tomahawk slam more than enough times to call myself a fan. But aside from a couple of general ideas, mainly a few character names and the fact that Scott is both a teenager and a werewolf, the new MTV series does not have much in common with the film on which it's supposedly based.

In no way is that a negative, however, because if you were to recreate the fun-loving 80s romp through high school that Fox and partner-in-crime Jerry Levine so marvelously did back in 1985, you might end up with something like TBS's Glory Daze.
