Hallelujah

I've never been a huge fan of cover versions, but without a doubt, my least favorite cover version ever is Jeff Buckley's pitiful rendition of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Buckley  turned this passionate religious classic into a sappy under produced love song. Cohen's version has him backed by an enormous choir and band, while Buckley's version only has him with an electric guitar, which makes it much less impressive. I mean, I'm not a religious person in the slightest and I will admit Buckley has a much better set of pipes than Cohen, but seriously, in some cases, bigger is better.

Beowulf

Beowulf is the best movie I have seen in the last seven years. 

Yes, i have seen all 3 movies in the L.O.T.R trilogy and I still think Beowulf wipes the floor with all of them. 

With a cast that includes a knight(Hopkins), the most beautiful woman on Earth (Jolie) and a man who has possibly the most diverse acting repertoire of any actor I have EVER SEEN!!(Malkovich), plus the abnormal directing talents of Robert Zemeckis, it is pure movie gold.

The thing that really set the seal on this one for me was the fact that Grendel's (Crispin Glover's) script was entirely in Anglo - Saxon, which is a truly beautiful language and one which I, myself, love & am starting to very slowly learn e.g modor, meaning mother.
