By my troth, Beowulf sucks

What she said. Christ that was awful. Well at least the first half hour was - I wasn't about to assault my senses with the rest of it. I think the last time we got something that dire from the DVD club it was My Super Ex Girlfriend for which all invlolved should be publicly flogged. This was full on Matrix bad, with a side order of Pulp Fiction dire. "I've come to kill your monster" says the man. Pity he hadn't come to make a movie.

In all honesty, with all the light effects (where did they get a strobe in 500AD Denmark??), excessive swishing of cameras and all the rest of it, I wouldn't have lasted the half an hour we got itno the DVD if we'd wasted money on it at the cinema. What a pile of shite. You know it's in trouble when you're fast forwarding bits on the first watch because you're bored/iritated (I'd be tempted to trash the place to stop her singing too) Oh, and if you want to keep Grendel's Mum's idendity a secret, probably best not to plaster her all over the billboards.

Battlestar Gallactica, on the other hand, shows promise. I mean, it's kept me up till nearly midnight.

movies, dingo's kidneys, telly
