When Angelina Jolie made Beowulf, she knew she was making the tricky transition between 'ultra-earnest humanitarian actress' to 'mostly-naked computer-generated Old English mythical half-sex lizard from the year 700 AD.'

And of all the transitions a woman can make, it's probably the hardest one - one minute you're crying over pictures of sad third-world orphans and the next minute you're having your head chopped off by Ray Winstone's virtual sword in a sexy way - but it's one that Angelina Jolie can make without even breaking her stride. And how did Angelina Jolie do this?
