Although the storyline drags a bit, I was totally mesmerized by Beowulf"s 3D and special effects. The stylized animated feature accomplishes what it set out to do, provide a movie that would attract a young audience that"s into gaming and fantasy action. The film screams for Xbox interaction, but the technology just isn"t there yet.

Rated: G

The only way I can describe No Country for Old Men is with a resounding WOW! The film captures your interest from the beginning to its bizarre ending. The Coen Brothers regain the title of unusual and twisted filmmaking. The target audience will understand when I say "it"s Quentin Tarantino with a pinch of Robert Rodriguez.”
