From the snazzy credits at the start of the film SIX FIGURES, the viewer can tell that quite a lot of care and effort has been put into the preparation and execution of the story of thirty-something Warner Lutz (JR Bourne of ON THE CORNER and THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE) who has landed himself in trouble.  Firstly, after moving his wife, Claire (Caroline Cave) and two kids to the boom city of Calgary, Alberta, he finds that he cannot afford buying a house or living up to expectations of his family.  When he is put on probation by his boss, Richard (David Thimble) as a result of an oversight that was not really his fault, Warner gets into a big fight with Claire.  This is where Christensen’s film takes a major dramatic turn.  Claire is viciously attacked and goes into a coma.  Warner is blamed and given a restraining order, initiated by Claire’s mother Louise (Deborah Grover) from approaching Claire or the children.  The question is whether Warner did or did not do it.

BEOWULF & GRENDEL is based on an Iceland poem about a an ongoing battle between the warrior Beowulf (Gerard Butler of DRACULA 3000 and PHANTOM OF THE OPERA) and a marauding troll, Grendel (Ingvar Sigurdsson).  But BEOWULF & GRENDEL is no Scandinavian fairy tale.  Icelandic born director Gunnarsson’s (RARE BIRDS) and scriptwriter Andrew Rai Berzins’ tale comes complete with sex, foul language and graphically violent fights that often result in severed limbs and other assorted body parts.  For example, the film’s funniest joke involves bestiality.

The re-make of the Disney classic THE SHAGGY D.A., THE SHAGGY DOG contains all the key elements of Disney – a story centered on a family with family values, harmless humor and animals.  Dave Douglas (Tim Allen) is a busy up and coming district attorney who spends more time at work than with his family.  That is until a dog gene enters his blood stream and he turns shaggy.  He learns that family time is most important while saving the day for animal lovers and animal testing.
