THE FOLKS over at the Razzie awards will be examining the new DVD of "Wolfman," and you can anticipate nominations for Anthony Hopkins and Benicio Del Toro.

Both men find themselves in hairy situations, but the scariest thing in the movie is the acting - Del Toro's miserable, mumbling hero and Hopkins' homicidal aristocrat, Hannibal Lecter with Rogaine. Also scary, the DVD special features include "extended" scenes, offering more of same.

On a brighter note, Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" arrives. Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter turns out to be a bit of a disappointment, but Helena Bonham Carter is great fun as the Red Queen. Special features include a documentary about the casting process, the special effects, and Depp's characterization.

There are also about a zillion Clint Eastwood movies being re-issued this week, in a dozen different combinations and arrays. Tax problems?
