Beowulf & Grendel

This was pretty well done. I don't think I've read the poem, but it didn't matter and I realized I was more familiar with the story than I thought. The Geats come to save the Danes from Grendel who is terrorizing their village. Beowulf is tough and burly and can save anyone from anything. Grendel just wants some understanding for why he is so mad. Sarah Polley plays the role of Selma, the witch who Gendel loves (?). She was in Don't Come Knocking, which we saw recently. I didn't like her in this at all. I give it 2 1/2 stars out of 5 because I love a "period piece."
