Beowulf - one thumb up, one thumb down

Not really my style of movie but Trey thought it looked good. I didn't care for the animation during the entire movie but I understand why they did it. Don't care to watch this again.

Synopsis:

Directed by Robert Zemeckis, Beowulf tells of the great 6th-century Scandinavian warrior called upon to defeat a manlike ogre named Grendel (Crispin Glover), a descendant of the biblical murderer Cain. Based on the longest surviving Anglo-Saxon poem, this film adaptation's notable cast includes Anthony Hopkins as King Hrothgar, Angelina Jolie as Grendel's tormented mother, John Malkovich as Unferth and Ray Winstone as Beowulf

The Others - two thumbs up?

I don't like scary movies but this one was engaging. The ending surprised me although I suspected something along the lines. I'd like to watch it again just to catch the things I missed.

Synopsis:

Writer-director Alejandro Amenabar manipulates viewers' psyches in this bone-chilling thriller. Staunchly religious Grace Stewart (Nicole Kidman) lives in an old house kept dark because her two children, Anne (Alakina Mann) and Nicholas (James Bentley), have a rare sensitivity to light -- but the house seems haunted. Soon convinced that the strange events and visions are real, Grace fights to protect her children at any cost.

Little Children - one thumb up, one thumb down

This one was a little weird but it was okay.

Synopsis:

In director Todd Field's titillating tale, the lives of several adult suburbanites, who have yet to surpass adolescence, intersect on the streets of their small town in unexpected ways. While on-the-go wife and mother Kathy (Jennifer Connelly) is preoccupied with her career, Sarah (Kate Winslet, in an Oscar-nominated role), a mother who does not know how to mother, is busy having an affair with stay-at-home dad Brad (Patrick Wilson) -- Kathy's husband.
