I can't say enough to praise this version of Hamlet! This adaptation, along with Laurence Olivier's 1948 version, are my two favorites now; and this one edges it out, owing to the great performances, and the fact that it's a comparably more complete version of the play. It also incorporates modern elements which work really well and make it more contemporary.

To speak of the performances, Andrew Scott is masterful in the leading role of Hamlet, really capturing all of the anger, sadness, and humor of Shakespeare's complex character in a brilliant and truly remarkable way. I also particularly enjoy David Rintoul as the Ghost and Play Actor. All the other performances are quite effective and fitting as well.

It's a wonderful adaptation which, as I said, is definitely my favorite to watch (the finest version imo), and which will be extremely tough to top! I'm so thankful for it :).

I went to see Avatar and It's awesome! I saw it in 3-D and was blown away. Basically, a paraplegic marine goes to a planet called pandora to get money for new legs. The movie explores the marines conformity to the ways of the tribes of Naavi he was originally sent out to warn of the people coming for a mineral which they posses in their land. It sends out a message that greed knows no bounds and a plot heavily oriented on how disgusting people can get for money. The summary kind of reminds me of fern gully (the typical, colonial natives protecting their land against intruders).

The dialogue can be slightly corny for stephen lang's character, but it's not a movie that need great acting for entertainment, It demonstrates an innovative, creative rendering style that takes what you can do with a computer, to a new level!

Overall, I loved the movie and for me, it surpasses James Cameron's previous film, Titanic, in entertaining me!
