Wrath of Gods (2006)
Wrath of Gods a MUST see
Wow! All I can say is Bravo Jon!! Wrath of Gods is such an incredible experience. I loved Beowulf and Grendel and enjoyed the bit of Wrath on the DVD. But it was amazing to see Wrath on a bigger scale. I was so happy to watch it on CBC NewsWorld. A lot of times I just have the TV on for background noise but this I HAD to see. I was glued to the screen. To see the hard work and dedication of the cast and crew behind the scenes. I feel you showed the heart and soul behind the movie. Wrath is such a powerful piece. It is a must see in my opinion. It compliments Beowulf and Grendel obviously but it is a stand alone piece without a doubt.
Beowulf & Grendel (2005)
Beowulf and Grendel is a must see!
What can I say? I've seen this film 3 times and each time I leave the theatre all I can say is WOW! Amazing! The Icelandic scenery is hauntingly and ruggedly beautiful yet fierce and harsh. In many ways I find it mirrors the characters in Beowulf and Grendel. All is not always what it seems. You get glimpses into the characters, into their secret places. You learn and see who they have become. And a bit of why they are who they are. You understand. I could not help but be pulled in by Beowulf, Grendel, Selma and even Hrothgar. The performances by Gerard Butler, Ingvar Sigurdsson, Sarah Polley and Stellan Skarsgard were great. But the film is not only dramatic but humorous in spots. Beowulf and his merry bunch of warriors are a hearty yet fun group.
It is my fervent hope that a US distributor will soon pick up this movie! Job well done to Sturla Gunnarsson, Andrew Rai Berzins, the cast and the crew.
