I'm intrigued. I found the theatre release a visually stunning but ultimately unconvincing film. They sorta lost me halfway through the story.

I like Brannagh's Hamlet. Saw it on tv once a while back. Not being a connaisseur of Shakespeare I can't tell how his creation compares to other efforts, but I enjoyed it.

I recently got a Harryhausen DVD collection from Amazon.com under the mistaken impression that my PCs DVD drive was region free cause it could play NTSC, so I can't unfortunately watch any of it. Don't suppose anyone has any tips on what the best region circumventing solution is. Thinking about importing an American PS2 maybe...
