Beowulf Movie Critic Do you envision a strong female role or a male role as your hero? In my opinion the Beowulf movie was a thumbs up‚ due to Angelina Jolie’s use of seduction and female wiles. Angelina is a critical character who drives the plot. In the movie‚ her character of Grendel’s mother overshadows Beowulf‘s character as a hero. This is in drastic contrast to the original poem ‘Beowulf’ because in the original‚ women were not valued and they had no important role. Grendel’s mother differs

book. A bad adaptation can even kill a whole franchise‚ such as The Golden Compass and Eragon. People often tend to compare which is better‚ the book or the movie but as they are two completely different mediums to tell a story it is better to “see” if the adaptation itself is any good. There is so much work behind every little detail in movie adaptations‚ when the author writes ....the director has to choose everything

The movie I choose to write my review on is not one of my all-time favorite’s movies but the person who the movie is based on has been huge interest to me since I heard his story.

Kramer v Kramer is a movie filled with opportunities for choosing sides. But what actually matters in this movie isn’t who’s right or wrong‚ but if all the characters involved are able to behave according to their own better nature. It starts of by showing a marriage filled with unhappiness and ego and ends with two single people who have both learned important things. There is a child caught in the middle but this isn’t a movie about the plight of the kid but about the dilemma of the parents. Usually

a 5/5 stars from http://commonsensemedia.org can be viewed as a major accomplishment‚ therefore it is no surprise Louis Sachar’s Novel "Holes" was made into a movie. However Andrew Davis made some interesting variations on how he told the story. In my opinion the biggest differences where Stanley’s appearance‚ Sam’s death‚ and Mr. Sir’s role. At first these may appear to be accidents but they are there for very specific reasons‚ they are there because the director targets your eyes‚ and ears however
