82 35% | Going My Way (1944) - Rated 09 Dec 2007 |
93 84% | Much Ado About Nothing (1993) - Rated 02 Dec 2007
"Robert Sean Leonard is hilariously awful, and Kenneth Branagh is clearly channeling Basil Fawlty during his soliloquies, but these things make this version much more entertaining if not sublime. I wonder whether Leonard was cast intentionally to provide just the sort of laughable, wooden emotions two-dimensional Claudio requires. On the other hand, Shakespeare's hilarious passages do come across here, aided by some camera and editing ingenuity. Great stuff."

"The least anachronistic (and therefore greatest) film version, mostly because Charles Laughton's Javert is such an act of virtuosity. Nervous, bullying, backing off with principle, then lighting in with vengeance, this might be his best performance ever (at least his wife Elsa thought so). Also worth checking out for the class warfare (now back in style), and the fact you'll have to check your pulse after the horse-chase scene."

"The title character is played by Roscoe Orman (Sesame Street's Gordon), and his cussing, bitch-slapping, and pimp outfits will drop your jaw (at one point he sports a fez!). But I love this movie because it's a transcendent commentary on free enterprise and government intervention. In this case a pimp refusing to collectivize, then getting cut down to size.
