I had heard that they were doing Beowulf, but haven't seen anything about it. It must not be running in our movie circle out here. I also want to see King Kong but am having the same problem--that and my movie buddy isn't really dying to see it, but she'll go because I want to go. I hate to make her sit through it. Maybe this weekend, with the day off! -- ABCra XYZee

In reply to: KatRose 's message, "I saw a couple of good movies recently. "Brokeback Mountain" was amazing in the way this touchy subject was handled, so much so that, to me, it was more about an intense love that came at the wrong time, but wouldn't leave the couple alone, than it was about "gay love". I also saw "Walk the Line" which was much better than I expected. I still need to see King Kong, but haven't had 3�+ hours to devote to the expedition just yet. I also just saw "Beowulf & Grendel" starring Gerard Butler and thought that while the scenery and cinematography were amazing, the movie was too confusing for my brain to absorb." on 13:51:52 01/09/06 Mon

[> [> [> There are actually a couple of versions going on right now. The one I saw was done in Iceland by a Canadian company with UK and Icelandic money. It hasn't found a US distributor yet. That's the one that stars Gerard Butler. There's another one, set to open 2007, that Warner Bros and Paramount are joint producing. That one stars Ray Winstone as Beowulf and Crispin Glover as Grendel with Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie and John Malovich doing their part. -- KatRose, 20:47:52 01/09/06 Mon [1]
