Beowulf
It seems that there is going to be another film adaptation of the epic poem Beowulf, this time around starring Ray Winstone as the title warrior and Crispin Glover as the monster Grendel. The film is expected to hit theatres in 2007... that gives all those out there who have yet to read the Old English epic a chance to do so... and please do. Even if you are unfamiliar with Anglo-Saxon literature, even if you do not plan on seeing the film, read Beowulf. It is one of those things that ought to be read.
I just wrapped up studying Beowulf in my English Literature before 1700 class. Now we move on to Chaucer!
Anyone interested in learning more about the upcoming film (or any other film for that matter) would be well advised to click on The Internet Movie Database, in my Links section. It's a great website for movie buffs and other film-oriented people (and they aren't even paying me to say that).
Lots to do. I leave for Kingston in the morning.
