Hamlet is by far my favorite of all of Shakespeare's works. Branaugh is one heck of an actor. His portrayal of this was just amazing. His soliloquies were breathtaking. For as long as it was it is rare for a film to hold my interest, however I was engrossed in this particular piece. I recommend this to anyone both fan of Shakespeare and those not so much. This has everything the modern world looks for in its films: murder, betrayal, and deceit. Not to knock Mel Gibson's version, but Branaughs touches the whole work. This leaves no stone unturned. When you finish the film it will feel as if you read the play yourself. Um how you say "two thumbs up".

High Incident
(1996–1997)
great show
2 May 2003
as with a lot of great shows in this age of television...high incident was unfairly shut down while still holding promise. few police dramas even grab my interest but this show. this one not only grabbed it, it picked it up and shook it like an au pair would a crying baby. well acted and well filmed, if nothing else the crew of this show should know they were doing it all right.
Poison
(2000 TV Movie)
Though dull and somewhat predictable...
30 December 2002
Wow what a flop. This movie wasn't a total waste of time. I was introduced to the newest member of my "fox" list: Mandy Schaffer. Her complete hotness is really the only reason I sat through it. No I'm not a perv. But it just goes to show a pretty face and killer body go a long way. As for the acting she pulled the psycho routine off well, but it was still too predictable. And the rest of the cast did the best they could with a weak screenplay. My recommendation: Watch this for the shear joy of seeing that gorgeous Mandy Schaffer.
Do Not Disturb
(1999)
Good but not great
22 November 2002
To be honest...I actually liked this movie. Though dull in many places, I like Denis Leary, William Hurt, and Michael Chiklis so my interest was kept pretty much throughout the movie. However, the blatant rip-off of Marilyn Manson was lame at best. I would recommend this movie only if someone was really bored.
Nowhere Man
(1995–1996)
Perfection
29 September 2002
This show was one of the few shows that I made a point to see every episode. The acting was scrumtralesent. One could totally get lost in any one of the episodes. To cancel it was a terrible choice. It saddened me when is was taken from my weekly viewing schedule.
