I’m getting ready to head off to see David Tennant in Love’s Labour’s Lost. While I’m doing that, why not cast your own Hamlet? Jude Law’s going to take on the Danish Prince next year in the West End. Who else could offer an interesting spin on the role, either on stage or in film?

It’s Thursday, so it’s time to remake an 80s classic TV show or movie with an all-new cast. This week: Lethal Weapon, the 1987 flick that — along with Die Hard the next year — kicked off a new ethos in action movies of more humor, more violence, and more FX. (If you have a … more…
To be or not to be? Is there a third choice somewhere in the middle? I’m astonished to discover that I’m not crazy about this Hamlet, either the production on the whole or Jacobi as the melancholy Dane. Though much of that is a function of the production values of the time and my own … more…
