Elsewhere: Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet is finally coming to DVD!

Kenneth Branagh’s version of Hamlet is not only the complete, unabridged, long version that faithfully recreates Will’s vision that doesn’t cut out “unimportant” scenes for time, it’s also visually stunning, and very well acted.  In short, it’s the best movie version of Hamlet.

It’s a shame that it’s taken Warner Brothers so long to bring this beautiful movie out on DVD.  The only downside is that it’s only on DVD.  This movie screams for High Definition.  I don’t have HD-DVD or Blu-Ray, but if this movie were available in HD and with 300 and Planet Earth also in HD, it might be time to take the plunge.  Here’s hoping that it doesn’t take Warner Brothers another 10+ years to get this out on HD.
