I had a great time with my friends yesterday watching the movie Beowulf at the cinema followed by bowling and a karaoke sessions. It's been quite sometime since I went to the cinema, last movie I saw was Resident Evil 3 : Extinction. I did consider myself a movie freak since I've been to the cinema many times this year. It's a great feeling watching movies on the big screen with popcorns and drinks.
Well, the movie Beowulf is a 2007 animated epic film adapted from the Old English heroic epic film adapted from the epic poem of anonymous authorship, Beowulf. The film is directed by Robert Zemeckis and was created through motion capture which is a technique similar to that used by Zemeckis in The Polar Express. The cast includes Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, Robin Wright Penn, John Malkovich, Crispin Glover, Brendan Gleeson and not forgetting the sexy Angelina Jolie.
Director Robert Zemeckis's digitally rendered film follows the Scandinavian hero Beowulf (Ray Winstone) as he fights to protect the Danes from a ferocious beast named Grendel (Crispin Glover). Though at first Grendel seems invincible, Beowulf eventually manages to defeat him in a desperate battle to the death. Devastated by her son's violent demise at the hands of Beowulf, Grendel's mother (Angelina Jolie) sets out in search of revenge. Later, Beowulf faces the biggest challenge of his life when he attempts to slay a powerful dragon.
The action scenes looks cool enough with most of the cast such as Anthony Hopkins, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson and Angelina Jolie looks exactly the same as their movie character. And I must say that Angelina Jolie looks definitely sexy in the movie, not to mention that she's totally nude in it. This movie is not exactly for the kids though as there are many violence scene and some nudity in it. But still, it was a good movie and very entertaining indeed.
These are some of the cool movies that I had watched at the cinema this year. Can't wait to watch The Golden Compass next.
