Beowulf = Beoskip

Such possibilities such sorrow. I vaguely remember reading the story of Beowulf in 9th grade but I didn't remember it being quite so violent. It started out interesting until I saw the monster Grendel biting off heads and tearing apart bodies. Beowulf is the last of the heroes and goes to stop the monster Grendel for money and fame. Grendel is killed and his mother (Angelina Jolie) takes revenge. Beowulf makes a deal with her and becomes king. Beowulf has more troubles later as an old King when his deal with Gredel's mother is broken. He must fight a dragon more deadly than any monster he has faced before. Good story but I still say skip it unless you want to catch up on your mythology. However, the special effects were amazing and the dragon at the end was really well done.

88 Minutes

This is a movie I was very interested in seeing. I love the whole concept to race against time. Death vs life, Murder vs law. From what I've read and heard this is a disappointment. It's regular Al being Al. (Big and loud!) Don't get me wrong, I love big and loud Al so there is still hope for this for me. Tick Tock!

The Voting Pole is closed!

In a last min. tight race the winner of the favorite genre of movies is the thriller/suspense. My personal favorite. Thank you to all those who voted and thanks for noth'n to those who didn't.

The Iron Man

Iron Man looks to be an awesome comic book made to movie. Iron Man is a human super hero much like Batman. With millions of dollars to use for the good vs evil cause, Tony Stark is one tough SOB. I am very excited to see this movie and will write about it soon. It comes out in early May.

Enchanted

Tanya and I watched Enchanted. This is a movie (fairly new) that starts out as a fairy tale cartoon and ends up in real life New York. A princess (Amy Adams) is pushed into a magic well by an evil queen and found by a local New Yorker (Patrick Dempsey) and his daughter. The prince comes to rescue her aided by his not so trustworthy servant and a chipmunk. But things aren't always what they seem in fairy tales. It was very clever with a great cast but mildly predictable. I would highly recommend this movie for any family or date night. Sit back, pop some popcorn and enjoy, there aren't too many movies these days that the whole family can watch together.

Batman vs The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight is coming out this summer. (I believe) I'm a little disturbed by the Joker. Heath Ledger plays the Joker and so far there is a lot of build up. I thought Batman Begins was the best Batman film and arguably the best comic book film ever made.

TV Land's... High School Reunion?

High School Reunion is a new sho on TV Land that I really enjoy. (I think it's because I'm about to turn 32.) It's about a high school 20 year reunion set in Hawaii. Yes it's reality TV, but it's fun to see people resort back to their former selves in "high school". There is drama, one class mate's ex-wife and his ex-best friend, who how should we say, hooked up with her. Another class mate, who was the geek in school now is getting to know the high school babe. And so and so.

I don't know why I like this show...I hated high school.
