Hamlet *** (1996, Kenneth Branagh, Kate Winslet, Julie Christie) – Classic Movie Review 1295
Writer-director-star Kenneth Branagh’s long, lively, faithful and intelligent 1996 version of the Shakespeare play is lit up with rousing performances from a lovely array of memorable actors. It’s a respectful, rewarding experience with outstanding work […]
Celebrity *** (1998, Kenneth Branagh, Judy Davis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Melanie Griffith, Joe Mantegna, Winona Ryder, Charlize Theron, Hank Azario, Famke Janssen) – Classic Movie Review 1037
Celebrity has to be counted a bit of an intriguing flop in 1998 from writer-director Woody Allen (who doesn’t appear, which is always bad news). Kenneth Branagh is miscast and struggling in what amounts to […]

The Gingerbread Man *** (1998, Kenneth Branagh, Embeth Davidtz, Robert Downey Jr, Robert Duvall) – Classic Movie Review 422
Robert Altman’s neglected 1998 movie is an awkward but by no means negligible noirish thriller, based on a John Grisham original screen story. Kenneth Branagh gives an exceptional performance as a very flawed, unsympathetic hero, […]
