I loved Branagh‘s Much Ado About Nothing. I thought he and Thompson absolutely nailed it.

It’s the only Shakespearean comedy that I actually enjoy, though. I’m way past the age where I feel the need to pretend that A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a lot of fun to watch for the thousandth time. Fuck Puck.

Three awesome, well-written reviews this week guys. I especially love Scott's assessment of Branagh's Poirot project and his screen persona overall.

"Branagh is a showman. Often a bit of a ham."

One could in fact say that he enjoys the occasional swim in the river of ham.

Have y’all overlooked ROTTING IN THE SUN, or have I missed your review? One of the year’s best.
