I'm pretty sure that Olivier's Hamlet is supposed to be written as HAMlet.

I thought that recent televised one of Macbeth was quite good, especially as it managed to avoid certain irritating clichés.

Haha, quite.    

Yeah, I thought they did a good job and I quite liked how they changed the scenery in this one and in the Richard III (even if the ending was a little head scratching) .  The Baz Luhrman Romeo and Juliet did not work for me.

I think Titus takes the cake as the most screwed up film adaptation.

Sucker Punch is getting mostly garbage reviews. I'm still probably gonna go watch it tonight. How bad could a movie about hot chicks fighting robots and ninjas really be? Who needs a plot when you already have that stuff!?!

Sounds like a Peter Griffin production.

Better than Shakespeare.

Eh, I'm getting pretty tired so I think I'm actually just gonna watch it over the weekend or something. Why is it two hours long? It looks exactly like the kind of movie that should be 90 mins. on the nose.

Recently went on a Shakespeare run on netflix
Richard III- the 1930's themed Ian McKellan
Hamlet- 1944 Olivier version
Macbeth- the BBC Patrick Stewart/ Stalinist inspired one
Henry V- Kenneth Branagh version


Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet is the best movie version of that play.

Oddly, he's directing that horrible looking Thor movie.

Thor looks mostly alright to me so far... but I like the comics.

Sucker Punch.

If you want to see what me and Eraserhead are describing, then go see it. You will love it. If you don't want to see it, you will not like it. Apparently most critics can't appreciate hot girls fighting zombies, robots, ninjas and giant samurai. Their loss.

Not all that good but I went to the theater downtown. Attendance there is heavily linked to how many people are in the area clubbing or going to the restaurants, and now everyone is pissed about the surprise snow hit and that it's cold again and is staying in. The bars are pretty dead too.

Limitless

Not bad.  Definitely just a popcorn flick, but a good one.

The most interesting thing is finding out later that professional frat boy and romcom interest Bradley Cooper has hipster taste in movies.

Rango

Pretty good. Fantastic animation. I was drinking while watching it. It became a little too formulaic at the end.

Paths of Glory

I'm almost ashamed that it took so long for me to finally watch that movie. Tongue Kubrick rocks as usual, of course. Wink

Sucker Punch

I hate to say it... but it was pretty painful. It really did have some great looking women though.

The Last King of Scotland

Great movie, I watched it so many times I can recite it.

Does anyone like the Last Waltz? The concert film by The Band?

The 9th Company pretty good In my opinion. Does anyone know of any other films about the Soviet war in Afghanistan? preferably not Rambo 3 Tongue

Source Code and The Lincoln Lawyer.  Two great movies made just ok by horrible endings.  The latter much more so with the most confusing third act I've ever watched.

Both of them are definitely worth a rent, however.

Turtles Can Fly

pretty powerful film about a group of kurdish kids who spend their time disarming landmines in the prelude to the 2003 invasion. Apparently all the child actors are actual Kurdish refugees. Implicitly pro-war, but definitely better than like Green Zone (I have yet to see the Hurt Locker)

Battle: Los Angeles

Basically just a big, loud action movie but not too shabby as far as those things go. Aaron Eckhart gave a solid performance. The aliens were pretty lame looking though.

The story of Ian Curtis/Joy Division. Very well done.
