1.Hamlet (1996) starring: Richard Attenborough, David Blair, Brian Blessed, Richard Briers, Michael Bryant directed by: Kenneth Branagh March 03, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
Branagh's Hamlet Watching Kenneth Branagh's massive film of the complete text of Hamlet for about the fourth time, I realized that this film mirrors the talents and career of its talented actor/director. Ever since his highly successful film of Henry V, which ably competes with the classic version of Olivier, it seems that Branagh has been trying to film another great Shakespeare movie, but has not quite been able to repeat his early triumph. His long Hamlet has not been able to change that pattern. His use of certain unsuitable actors, his lack of real passion, and his inability to always keep things moving have made this a merely enjoyable movie rather than a great one. ... Read More

2.A Midwinter's Tale starring: Michael Maloney, Richard Briers, Hetta Charnley, Joan Collins, Nicholas Farrell directed by: Kenneth Branagh May 18, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.99
This is an excellent film - just the right mix of humor, fun, drama, and intensity. I have several copies of the VHS version and have been looking for the DVD...but no. It boggles the mind that so much trash is churned out on DVD, yet good entertainment like "A Midwinter's Tale" is consigned to VHS. Go figure. Please release this on DVD.

The only really good movie is Frankinstein, The others were pretty dissapointing. HELENA BOHMN CARTER ROCKS!

5.Frankenstein starring: Robert De Niro, Kenneth Branagh, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hulce, Aidan Quinn directed by: Kenneth Branagh
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $30.07
I frankly don't understand the bad reviews that the "Times" and others have given this riveting remake of the Mary Shelley classic. This is the first movie rendition of the story that comes anywhere close to the Shelley novel. True to form, the story begins and ends at the polar ice cap...as in the novel. The well-intentioned, albeit obssessed, Dr. F. is engaged to the beautiful Elizabeth. I won't give away the plot by expousing on their relationship, but where past grade-B efforts have had no female counterpart to Dr. F., this film version does; indeed, she is a prime motivator, residing at the very heart of what drives much of the story-line. There is some artistic license taken here of course, as with any great work of art. But actor/producer Kenneth Branagh (who plays the good doctor) has certainly ... Read More

7.Much Ado About Nothing starring: Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Keanu Reeves, Kate Beckinsale, Richard Briers directed by: Kenneth Branagh
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $20.38
I think this adaptation of "Much Ado About Nothing," I think is one of Shakespeare's best comedies, is a great film. It can function as a sort of introductory bit of Shakespeare, because this play mostly consists of characters exchanging witty banter, and the actors (Keanu Reeves very much aside) brought such life to the already hilarious words. From the straight forward interpretations of Beatrice and Benedick (Emma Thompson and director Kenneth Branagh, respectively), to the wild but captivating take on Dogberry (Michael Keaton), this movie bursts with wit and life that most film adaptations of the bard's work has lacked. I thought Keanu Reeves was a horrible choice to play the villainous Don John, for a couple of reasons. One, because Reeves--sorry, Reeves lovers, if there are any of you- ... Read More

10.Dead Again starring: Jo Anderson, Obba Babatundé, Kenneth Branagh, Raymond Cruz, Patrick Doyle directed by: Kenneth Branagh November 17, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.85
Kenneth Branagh's film Dead Again is a superbly crafted thriller that cleverly combines film noir, supernatural suspense, melodrama, and romance. Branagh (Henry V) pulls double duty, both directing and starring in this stylish update of the mystery genre. The film stars Branagh and his wife Emma Thompson in dual-roles, as well as featuring an impressive supporting cast including Andy Garcia, Derek Jacobi, Hanna Schygulla, Wayne Knight, and Robin Williams. The film utilizes all of the trappings of a Hitchcock picture, while remaining completely original and contemporary. Though at times pretentious and over the top, Dead Again is a welcome return to a genre that in recent years has been dormant and waiting to be resurrected. When L.A. private investigator Mike Church is asked to help an emotionally troubled amnesiac woman ... Read More
