...Beyonce's Crazy In Love better than Hamlet? Hamlet is long on intrigue and tension. It's also just long. Crazy in Love delivers its emotional punch in 3 min. 44 sec. Admittedly, it doesn't have much to say beyond: I'm crazy! I'm in love! But aren't those the chief sentiments of a certain indecisive prince? Shakespeare will probably outlast Beyonce, but that's hardly the point. For the next 50 years, millions of people will hear the fanfare at the top of Crazy in Love and instantly recall the summer of 2003. A simple...
...playing his femme fatale Hedda Gabler, as the Australian star will do for the Sydney Theatre Company from late July. Ibsen's bored 19th century housewife with a gun is a volatile vehicle for a high-voltage actress looking to make her mark, a kind of career-defining harpy Hamlet. Just ask Judy Davis, who's now appearing on the Sydney stage for the first time since firing Hedda's pistol in 1986. The ricochet from that legendary performance can still be felt with this brilliant, if unconventional, actress. Dodging the usual star trajectory, Davis has played neurosis for Woody...
...longer Paul works at TxDoGS, the more he begins to suspect that some of his colleagues may in fact not be quite human. He is increasingly possessed by the idea that there are zombies--actual, nonmetaphorical zombies--in his office. Kings of Infinite Space (the reference is to Hamlet) is social satire that slides smoothly and surreally into horror, and if it loses a little of its emotional heft in the process, you don't really miss it. The glee with which Hynes choreographs an in-office zombie-vs.-stapler fight scene is compensation enough...

...Shakespeare requirement, and turns to well-schooled Eddie for help. For movie dorks like myself, this is ironic because Stiles got her start acting in Shakespearean adaptations like 10 Things I Hate About You (aka The Taming of the Shrew), Michael Almereyda’s adaptation of Hamlet and Tim Blake Nelson’s O, a high school version of Othello. Such slight touches of wit made this fairy tale viable, but ultimately forgettable date material...
