I forgot that I watched 'Ed Wood' last night. I hadn't seen that in years. What a treat. Martin Landau's performance as Bela Lugosi is incredible.

Just a bit too violent (gun play) for me, but I like it, and what can you say about John Leguizamo dude, cool or what?
Edward said:I really enjoyed that verison too. What it got that so many (the vast majority, actually - including also Shakespeare in Love) intepretations of Romeo and Juliet miss is that it's not about love at all - it's about teenage infatuation. Their portrayal of Mercutio was way offbase IMO, but otherwise it's among the best on screen Shakespeare I've seen.
