Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11 And we’re back. My break from Shakespeare (or Breakspeare, if you will) turned out to be quite short indeed. I’m bouncing back today with something that’s hardly Shakespearean, though. Forbidden Planet (1956) The Plot: Brilliant Dr. Morbius (Walter…
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10 And my Shakespearean July comes to a conclusion with the momentous fourth installment of The Hollow Crown series: Henry V. Does this mean Summer of Shakespeare is ending as well? You should be so lucky. The Hollow Crown: Henry V…
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9 The Hollow Crown! Part 3: Henry IV, Part 2. Lots of numbers. I probably could have done this in the same article as Part 2 of The Hollow Crown, which was Part 1 of Henry IV… Not much has changed to be…

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 8 So, this might end up being a bit of a summer of Shakespeare, but you’re all okay with that, right? As I may have mentioned, I recently graduated college. I guess I did pretty well, but I made two fatal errors: I studied English and Film. Crap,…
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 7, Part 8 Ah, summer. It’s a time of blockbusters, but also just a crazy number of filler articles. Frankly, there aren’t that many blockbusters I want to see this summer, and even fewer that I’ll actually get to review. Instead, I’m turning my attention towards my beloved burgeoning Shakespeare…
