'Beowulf' Beats Everyone

In not-so-surprising news, "Beowulf" was number one at the box office over the weekend:
 
"The animated telling of 'Beowulf,' who rids a Danish kingdom of the feared beast Grendel, slew the box office over the weekend, giving a huge boost to 3-D films in the process.
 
"The Paramount Pictures release earned $28.1 million in its opening weekend — 40 percent of which came from special 3-D showings in regular theaters and on Imax screens.
 
"The film did $8 million in ticket sales on 638 screens equipped with technology from RealD, which uses a special reflective screen and polarized lens glasses that moviegoers can take as a souvenir."
 
Why is this so uninteresting to me? Why would I rather watch 3-D Vincent Price screaming in a spider web over Beowulf slaying dragons and contending with Grendel? My old Norton Anthology of literature should be coming to life right now, excited the ancient poem is all gussied up via a ripped Ray Winstone and a slinky, tailed Angelina Jolie but, alas and alack... 
 
I just keep thinking of "Annie Hall" wherein Woody Allen tells the adult education learning Diane Keaton: "Just don't take any course where you have to read 'Beowulf."'
 
Here's the top five movies over the weekend:
 
1. "Beowulf" -- $28.1M
 
2. "Bee Movie" -- $14.3M
 
3. "American Gangster" -- $13.2M
 
4. "Fred Claus" -- $12M
 
5. "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium" -- $10M

What does Angelina's private life have to do with the movies she makes ,,,
11 月 27 日

I'am not suprised that people flocked to see Angelina in the role of a monster, I think it's perfect casting for her.  When she did this movie she only had little baby Maddox from Cambodia, a country known for its genocidal tendencies.  Is Maddox her Grendel? 
 
There is a ton of controversy surrounding the adoption of Angelina's babies...I think the investigation should continue. I believe that Zahara's mother and this Ethiopian family has been taken advantage of by both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.  They have a lot of  power  because of their money and these people from Ethiopia have none.  How can this family be honest surrounded by all of their people.  They are unprotected in that country, I myself would be concerned that my life would be in danger if I said the wrong thing.  The poorer the country, the easier it is to buy. 
 
It is an illegal adoption if the mother who was presumed dead all of a sudden shows up alive.  Also, with the first adoption there were reports that baby Maddox was eating Angelina's shoes...was he hungry?  She was reportedly out partying with friends at all hours of the night, back then as now.  Her pattern of behavior is consistent with what she was doing a decade back, only her media persona has changed.
 
This woman is as attracted to bloodshed and dissection as her "partner" Brad Pitt is attracted to crime.  However, they are painted in the media as these saviors of mankind.  Good "christians" make money and "evildoers" in the public eye do not. 
 
I jumped off the the bandwagon for both of these performers a long time ago.  An honest look at who they really are behind the hype is what did it.   I really can't stand these people.  I think they are dangerous wolves painted as innocent lambs.  Their adoption rampage needs to stop and I think child protective services needs to go in.
