Twelfth Night

1956, Movie, NR, 54 mins

starstarstarstar
Despite its abbreviated length, this Russian adaptation of Shakespeare's great comedy is well done and highly entertaining. Though there are a few minor slow passages, for the most part the story is told with creative flair, using camera and color well. Luchko does a fine job with the dual roles of twin brother and sister. The adaptation is faithful to the original play, told with spirit by a good cast and backed with a fine musical score. leave a comment

Amanda Bynes: She's a Man, Baby!

In the new comedy She's the Man (in theaters now), Amanda Bynes plays Viola, a soccer star forced to get her kicks by masquerading as her twin brother, Sebastian.

Should Felicity Huffman be looking over her shoulder? And more to the point, is the perky What I Like About You star ready to kick some Natalie Portman butt this weekend? Here's what Bynes shared with TVGuide.com in a fun one-on-one. TVGuide.com: Seeing She's the Man almost — and my AP English teacher will be happy to hear this — made me want to actually read Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, on which it is loosely based. Or at least revisit the CliffsNotes read more
