So what IS in a name?

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2006)

Hark! But what film from yonder director breaks? Starring the young man who hath since played Howard Hughes It is east, and Juliet is Claire Danes Wherefore art thou, modern language? (no offense to purists, but Shakespearean talk in the modern world is starting to get old, so I'll cease it).
"Romeo + Juliet" is overall acceptable, and I really liked the first run-in between the Montagues and Capulets. I think that it would be sort of neat to see a space-age version of this story. On second thought, Shakespearean talk and the Jetsons' world wouldn't really mix. But the point is that they did a pretty good job here. It's sort of irking to think that this probably paved the way for Leonardo DiCaprio's role in "Titanic".
Also starring John Leguizamo, Harold Perrineau, Pete Postlethwaite, Paul Sorvino, Brian Dennehy, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Miriam Margoyles, Jamie Kennedy and M. Emmet Walsh.
One more thing: was Verona supposed to be in Brazil?
