Beowulf

Beowulf
Beowulf was really great! I never had the chance to see it in theaters, but the day it came out on DVD I was at the Movie Gallery to rent it. This movie got a rating of 4 1/2 stars so I knew it must be good. It was a one-of-a-kind movie, instead of live acting, all the actors were computer animated. It was filled with adventure and excitement the whole way through! Beowulf is definitely the new movie to see!

The Adventure
Based on the epic poem from medieval times, this amazing movie tells the story of the great warrior, Beowulf (Ray Winstone) and his epic battles with the mythical demons plaguing King Hrothgar's (Anthony Hopkins) kingdom. In his adventures, Beowulf will battle the Grendel, a misshapen half-man half-demon; the Grendel's mother (Angelina Jolie), a beautiful water demon; and a fearsome golden dragon.

The Cast
In this epic movie, many famous actors and actresses play the parts of the characters that shaped the tale of Beowulf. Other actors in the movie were John Malkovich, Brenden Gleeson, Robin Wright Penn , and many others.

The audience is in shock and chaos breaks out, then a bomb goes off, destroying the stage and killing many other leaders and civilians around the stage. But this is not the whole story. In that audience were 8 complete strangers that each saw something and each had a small piece of the puzzle. Through their eyes we see the truth behind the assassination attempt.

On The Red Carpet

The 80th Academy Awards
The 80th Academy Awards or better known as the Oscars were held at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles to award outstanding movie achievements for 2007-2008. The Oscars were held by Comedy Central's The Daily Show's own host Jon Stewart, who also hosted the 78th Academy Awards show back in 2005. The first Academy Awards show was actually held on May 16, 1929 at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood. Each Oscar statuette is made of gold-plated britannium on a black metal base that weighs 8.5 lb. and is 13.5 in. tall. The statue consists of a knight holding a crusader's sword standing on a reel of film with five spokes. The spokes represent the five original branches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Technicians.

Fashion On The Red Carpet

The main attraction as always on the red carpet is not the movie awards, but the red carpet fashion and who's wearing who. The men all looked gorgeous as ever, but the women really showed up in some beautiful dresses. Some of the women for example: Heidi Klum in a red John Galliano Haute Couture dress that was to be auctioned off for the awareness for women’s heart disease. Jennifer Garner was another of the stunning stars on the red carpet in a black strapless Oscar de la Renta dress, and Van Cleef & Arpels vintage necklace, earrings, bracelet and rings which looked amazing on her. Katherine Heigl wore an amazing red silk Georgette Escada gown that looked gorgeous on her (She was my favorite). The beautiful and pregnant Jessica Alba looked fabulous in her plum strapless Marchesa gown, and the pregnant Cate Blanchett also looked gorgeous in her purple Dries Van Noten gown. Those are just some of the stars that looked gorgeous on the red carpet, but there were many, many more stars that graced the red carpet in their stunning gowns.
