The story of Beowulf and Grendel is one of the most famous stories in English literature. The epic Beowulf is one of the most important works of English literature in general and it has been an inspiration for many authors over the centuries. We have also had numerous adaptations of the work, including the animated film from 2007, but all of them focused on the heroic tale of Beowulf, the hero of the story. But, the story also has another important character – Grendel – the monster and Beowulf’s rival in the story.
Grendel is finally going to get the chance to tell you his side of the story, as the movie Grendel will be released soon, with Palisades Park Pictures is launching international sales ahead of Cannes.

Smith died at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital, according to her husband of 18 years, actor Michael Maguire.

Her children, Nicky and Miranda Nathan and I were at her side and holding her hand and kissing her head and singing to her and telling her how much we loved her. Also, with us was Grant Stevens, my great great friend, who gave up himself to help us, understand the process of dying, and guided us through it with so much class and dignity!

Shelley Smith, the ’70s super model turned actor known for her work on “The Associates” and “For Love and Honor,” died Tuesday after going into cardiac arrest days earlier. She was 70.
Smith died at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital, her husband Michael Maguire said in a video posted to Facebook on Wednesday.
“She loved helping people. Most of all, she helped me. She made me a much better person than I ever would have been. We had a great marriage,” Maguire said in the video. “I don’t know how to go on without her. But I know that we had an incredible relationship and it was as pure as anything could be.”
Smith kicked off her modeling career in the early 1970s, landing the cover of Harper’s Bazaar and getting features in Vogue, Mademoiselle and Glamour magazines. In 1979, she stepping into the television world and made her star debut on “The Associates” alongside Martin Short,...

Shelley Smith, the statuesque super model who starred alongside Martin Short on a sitcom and was a regular on game shows like The $10,000 Pyramid before she launched an egg-donor program to assist infertile couples, has died. She was 70.
Smith died Tuesday at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital, her husband of 18 years, actor Michael Maguire, tearfully announced on social media. She had been in a coma after experiencing cardiac arrest three days earlier, and her health had deteriorated in the past year, he said.
On the 1979-80 ABC comedy The Associates, a sequel of sorts to The Paper Chase from creators James L. Brooks, Ed. Weinberger, Stan Daniels and Charlie Hauck, Smith played a sharp, upper-class Bostonian who works at a Wall Street law firm.
The show, which also featured Short, Joe Regalbuto, Alley Mills and Wilfrid Hyde-White — with whom she graced the cover of TV Guide in November 1979 — lasted just 13 episodes.

I didn’t want to use a phrase this obvious in my recap of Monday’s Dancing With the Stars, but my willpower is nonexistent: It was Queen Night in the ABC ballroom… but which couple’s Season 30 run bit the dust? (I don’t like it, but I had no choice.)
With only nine couples left in the competition, Dancing honored the music of Freddie Mercury & Co. in Week 7, with every single male pro rocking a Mercury mustache, too. Hey, it is Movember, and I respect the commitment.

The Dancing With the Stars contestants may have been under pressure this week as the finale nears, but with the show paying tribute to Freddie Mercury, there's no question that viewers got rocked. On Monday, Nov. 1, the ABC competition show celebrated Queen Night, and each remaining pair performed two dances to songs from the seminal rock band. This included Jimmie Allen performing to "Somebody to Love," JoJo Siwa dancing to "Body Language" and Olivia Jade strutting her stuff to "Fat Bottomed Girls." Suni Lee, who fell into the bottom two last week for the first time, attempted to bounce back with "We Will Rock You." Unfortunately, she had been battling a...

Olivia Rodrigo scored the biggest debut of the year on the Rs 200 with her debut album Sour. The concise, 11-song set earned 302,100 album-equivalent units, surpassing the first-week total for Fearless (Taylor’s Version) by over 10,000 units.
Sour was a resounding streaming success, picking up nearly 280 million streams on its way to Number One on the Rolling Stone Top 200 Albums chart. This is impressive for a slim collection of just 11 tracks — Moneybagg Yo’s A Gangsta’s Pain contained 22 songs, for example, but did less than half as many streams as Sour during its opening week,...

He’s baaack! One of the most famous faces to ever sit in one of “The Voice’s” big red chairs, Adam Levine, is officially returning to the show. He’ll reunite with old “frenemy” Blake Shelton in the Season 20 finale, airing Tuesday, May 25 on NBC. As you’ll recall, Levine was a coach on the reality TV program between Season 1 and Season 16, leaving unexpectedly after that and being replaced last-minute by Shelton’s girlfriend Gwen Stefani. Below, see everything to know about Levine’s long-awaited return to “The Voice.”
Is this a big deal?
Oh yes. Levine’s departure in 2019 caught everyone off-guard as he was expected to return to the judging panel the following season. The Maroon 5 front-man was one of the show’s original four coaches, so it means a lot for fans to finally see him again on the big stage. Many viewers suspected his decision...

Blake Shelton doesn’t seem particularly gaunt at any given time, but weightlessness may be the term that best applies to “Body Language,” his first all-new album in four years. That can be said for better or worse, or both: Breezy, slightly attitudinal affability is a quality that works for the country superstar on record as much as it does on “The Voice,” and when the songs he’s picking are clever enough, streaming one of his albums really is the aural equivalent of turning on a light tap. This, his 11th studio album, probably has less truly serious content to it than any he’s ever put out. There can be both a lack of ambition and a sense of relief going into an album where you can rest assured the breakup songs will have exactly the same gravity as the hookup songs: little to pleasantly none.

An object example of how a film can be entertaining and even exhilarating without being particularly good, “Bohemian Rhapsody” has the driving energy of a stadium anthem and the fizzy meaninglessness of a bubblegum pop song.
As a biopic of flamboyantly theatrical gay frontman Freddie Mercury, the movie frequently falls short, but it does provide interesting origin stories for many of the hits created by Mercury’s band Queen. Wisely, the movie wraps everything up with a rousing recreation of Queen stealing the show at 1985’s Live Aid, providing the equivalent of a band making you forget a mediocre set by performing a dazzling encore. The end of “Bohemian Rhapsody” marks the first (and no doubt last) time that I was brought to tears by “Radio Gaga.”
