My Review of Coriolanus

If you're not even remotely into or have some kind of appreciation for Shakespeare, you should turn the channel now.  If you are or do, this little movie is really kind of cool.  Yes, it is set in a more modern time.  Yes, they do keep the Shakespearean language.  Yes, Ralph Fiennes is amazing, although it's weird to see his nose again after all these years.  The most interesting thing about this movie is the way they use the transition scenes.  Many are done on televisions as news reports or talk shows.  Coriolanus is not one of Shakespeare's better known stories, nor is it one of his great ones.  But it's a good one at least, and the movie is well done.  Plus you can finally watch Gerard Butler in a movie that doesn't completely suck.  Watch this movie and be impressed by the direction.  We're probably going to see quite a bit more of Ralph behind the camera.
