This movie will tear at your heart. It is difficult to believe that this is based on true events. All the cast of characters played their part perfectly. You know who is going to die, but it still comes as a surprise when someone actually does it. This is a great movie to really make you think.

Well, to each his own I say. I really liked this movie. It has a lot of action in it and I like the story line too. Made in 2002? they meaning Lucy Liu and Antonio Banderas both still look good. Of course him having a shot gun fighting off all those bad guys don't make much sense, but who's counting. the good wins out in the end. Right!!

A++++++++++ I Loved this movie. Even though it was computerized it is based on actual individuals movements. You must watch the special additions telling about the movie on this dvd. I am getting the Blu-Ray for my keeper shelf.......

"In Denmark, A.D. 507, the realm of King Hrothgar (Anthony Hopkins) is threatened by the tormented demon Grendel (Crispin Glover) that attacks the locals in their celebrations. The Danish king offers a reward for the death of the creature Grendel, attracting to Herot the brave great warrior Beowulf (Ray Winstone). After a fierce battle, Beowulf defeats the demon and after receiving an old relic as reward, he finds his men slaughtered in the party saloon of the castle. King Hrothgar advises that the Grendel's mother was the one responsible for the bloodshed and Beowulf chases her in the lake where she lives. The creature takes the form of a seductive woman (Angelina Jolie) and seduces Beowulf with a promise of becoming an invincible and wealthy king if he makes love to her and gives his golden relic to her. Years later, King Beowulf feels the aftermath of his sin.

I really liked this movie. As I am older I had never heard Christina Aguilera sing. My jaw dropped open when I heard her beautiful voice. I am a fan now. I have always been a fan of Cher's as I basically grew up with her on television. I liked all the characters in this movie also. Let the critics nay say it, but to each his own I say. I vote a yes with 4 stars for this movie.

Academy Awardฎ winner Renee Zellweger stars in this terrifying, supernatural thriller about a social worker who has been assigned the unusual and disturbing case of Lillith Sullivan…a girl with a strange and mysterious past. When Emily (Renee Zellweger) opens her home in an attempt to help Lillith, it turns into a deadly nightmare she may not survive. Co–starring Bradley Cooper (The Hangover), Case 39 is a heart-stopping chiller with startling surprises that lead to a shocking and sinister ending.

Amazon.com
A top-notch cast led by Ren้e Zellweger meets Hollywood's newest member of the Evil Little Girl army in the long-gestating supernatural thriller Case 39. Zellweger is a concerned social worker who takes in young Jodelle Ferland (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) after she is nearly roasted alive by her foster family. She soon discovers that the girl possesses a wide array of unpleasant abilities, from the prerequisite foul mouth and bad attitude to devastating powers of suggestion, which bring untimely ends to most of the cast. Director Christian Alvart (Pandorum), working once again with his talented Antibodies cinematographer Hagen Bogdanski, delivers a suitably creepy-looking film but can do nothing with Ray Wright's inert, derivative script (Wright also penned the equally DOA remakes of Pulse, 2006, and The Crazies, 2010). What's left is a smattering of shocks and straight-faced turns by such capable vets as Zellweger, Ian McShane, Bradley Cooper, Cynthia Stevenson, and Callum Rennie. Horror fans will find more compelling kiddie chills in The Omen, The Exorcist, or even 2009's Orphan. --Paul Gaita

I played this game for years before the movie ever came out. I must say I liked the movie more than the actual game. It was so funny and I loved all the stars in it. This is one of the classic movies that is just filled with movie stars. I will give this one an A+. If you like to really laugh and have a murder mystery at the same time this is the movie for you!!

I can't believe that I waited for this movie on my wish list. Really Bad acting!!! Make-up on creatures so fake looking. All I kept saying was stupid, moron and you will too when you watch the supposed hero throughout the movie. This goes on my worst list. All I can say it's not worth your time even to watch. Just because HP Lovecraft's name is on it that is why it's on the wish list. and shouldn't be.

Stunt man/actor Peter Horak makes his directorial debut with this campy retelling of the Dracula myth. Count Dracula (Ernest Garcia), when not practicing his violin, enjoys nothing more than terrorizing the residents of a small village in the Eastern European berg Moravia. At least until Steve Hillman (former Bugle Boy model Denny Sachen)--an American student vacationing in Europe to forget the tragic water-skiing death of his girlfriend--comes to town and decides to put an end to the neck biter's nasty deeds. Teaming up with the "fearless" vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing (Bruce Glover), Steve leads a crusade against the Count and his legion of vampire vixens, to results both horrifying and hilarious.

In Bangkok, Emmanuelle (Sylvia Kristel), the young wife of a French diplomat, enters the world of sensuality and sexual passion. Guided by the mature Mario (Alain Cuny), and with the complicity of her husband (Daniel Sarky), she discovers the delights of eroticism and lets herself slide into pleasure. Based on the controversial book by Emmanuelle Arsan, EMMANUELLE remains a ground-breaking picture: the first openly erotic film meant for the general public. The movie's evocative cinematography which captures the beauty of Thailand and uses it very effectively to support other erotic images, helped this film cause something of a cinematic revolution.

I went crazy for this movie when I first heard of it and saw all the actors and or stars on one movie. That doesn't come along too often. I do wish Bruce Willis would have had a bigger part than he did.
I really did like this movie as I am into these action packed macho movies. As said the acting is so so, but as I have watched all these guys movies I couldn't, wouldn't be disappointed by this movie.
It is a for sure keeper for me!
