Beowulf & Grendel

Okay. Not all filmfest movies are good. Seems the more cast members they bring onstage the worse the film is (another case in point: Silver City by John Sayles). Ivana and I left Beowulf & Grendel after 25 minutes. The constant grunting, deadly swordplay and hairy Grendel and his family got to us. After a tiring week, we didn't have the strength to put up with a film like this at 9pm Wednesday. Only redeeming thing: Gerard Butler was Beowulf and he is also in the running to be the next Bond. He looked pretty good.... Unless you loved this poem in university, don't bother. I give it only M for effort.
