		Hamlet is a film by Michael Almereyda, released in 2000, set in contemporary Manhattan, and based on the play of the same name by William Shakespeare.

		This vexes his nephew Hamlet (Ethan Hawke), who is understandably pissed at the fact that his mother Gertrude (Diane Venora) has married her own brother-in-law not two months after the death of her husband (Sam Shepard).

		The Blockbuster scene has another in-joke for film/Shakespeare fans, as throughout the scene THE LION KING plays on the store's video screens (said film being a Disneyfied cartoon version of Shakespeare's play).

	SPLICEDwire "Hamlet" review (2000)
		Also ideally cast are Steve Zahn ("Happy, Texas," "Out of Sight") and stage actor Dechen Thurman (brother of Hawke's wife Uma), who play the Bard's comic relief characters Rosencrantz and Guildenstern as scruffy bar flies who kiss up to the new king.
		For those who don't know the story, "Hamlet" is about a prince (or in this case a trust fund brat) haunted by his murdered father (a grim Sam Shepard) and beset by the knowledge that his mother (Diane Venora) married his power-hungry uncle (Kyle MacLachlan) almost immediately afterwards.
		Keeping their end up are Sam Shepard, perfectly eerie as Hamlet's phantom father, and Diane Venora, an experienced Shakespearean actress (she once played a female Hamlet on stage) who is mesmerizing as the queen.

	Films at the 2000 Northampton Film Festival
		In this award-winning short film, a family trip turns disastrous when 11-year-old Isaac’s sister discovers her brother’s secret: his sexual awakening as a gay youth and his mixed feelings about his father.
		Through accounts by the extraordinary teachers who taught and loved them children, this lyrical and moving film shows the remarkable efforts made by the citizens of Chabannes, who risked their lives and livelihoods to protect these children simply because they felt it was the right thing to do.
		Some of these films have not been seen in 50 years; others were never intended to be seen by the public; and some were never even completed.

	38th New York Film Festival
		I suppose there may be film buffs who appreciate only a certain kind of movie, but for the vast majority, the leap from a Buñuel to a Renoir, from a Tarkovsky to a Raul Ruiz-hell, from Bergman to the Marx Brothers-is an exhilarating one.
		Included at the Festival was his latest-and the first to be filmed in America-Brother, which I admire for being almost indistinguishable from his Japanese films.
		It's a film based on a solid foundation of modesty, of seemingly simple observation, but what Yang builds on this foundation turns out to be as substantial as any of the other films in the Festival.

	Get Carter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Get Carter is a 1971 British crime film, directed by Mike Hodges and starring Michael Caine as Jack Carter, a gangster who sets out to avenge the death of his brother.
		Get Carter was remade in a 2000 film of the same title, with Sylvester Stallone playing the main part; Michael Caine had a significant cameo.
		As well as Caine, the film gave roles to the playwright John Osborne, Ian Hendry, Bryan Mosley, George Sewell and Geraldine Moffat among others, with cameos by the gorgeous, leather-skirted Dorothy White as the doomed Margaret, and Britt Ekland.

	Radio Free Movie Review: Get Carter (2000)
		Carter's humanization is emphasized through the relationship he has with his brother's daughter (Rachel Leigh Cook), a young, confused girl he becomes a surrogate father to.
		Ironically, though, this crossover attempt is one of the elements that contributes to the downfall of the film.
		Get Carter tries to straddle the fine line between mindless violence and a story about family and redemption, and for that, I feel it deserves a lot of credit.

	Ziggy's Video Realm: Stallone in Get Carter (2000)
		The trailer for Get Carter was one of the best made for a year 2000 film.
		Michael Caine (who played Jack Carter in the original 1971 release of Get Carter) plays Cliff Brumby, the employer of Carter’s deceased brother, with a satisfying sagacity and shiftiness.
		It is a tribute to the cast and the director that the film can still be so satisfying and the characters that require it are still provided with reasonable depth even with these obvious gaps.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Get Carter (2000)
		"Get Carter" is a dimly lit, brooding film noir that is as technically stylish as it is utterly mediocre.
		Carter, feeling guilty over not staying in touch with him over the years, knows that his brother would not drink and drive, and suspects that he was murdered--but by who?
		"My name is Jack Carter, and you don't want to know me," says Sylvester Stallone in the opening line of dialogue from "Get Carter," a loose remake of the same-named 1971 film starring Michael Caine (who has a supporting role here).

	The DVD Journal Quick Reviews: Get Carter (2000)
		Stallone starts as Jack Carter, a hired gun in Las Vegas (the only place in America where he'd be allowed by law to wear a suit that shiny) who learns that his brother Richie has died in the familial hometown of Seattle.
		Features include a commentary with director Kay, eight minutes of deleted scenes, trailers for the 1971 and 2000 Get Carter (the '71 spot is a total hoot), and cast notes.
		The real question is if the remake is a good film in its own right — will it entertain folks who have never seen its predecessor?

	SPLICEDwire "Get Carter" review (2000)
		The brother is already dead when the film opens.
		But even though watching Stallone rough guys up in "Get Carter" feels like a retread of a retread, director Stephen Kay ("The Last Time I Committed Suicide") turns the experience into a stimulating visual showcase of stylish filmmaking that keeps a viewer's attention.
		It could be that the picture is a remake of a gnarly 1971 film of the same name (starring Michael Caine, who appears in this one too).

	ABC News: Farrelly brothers film Boston's fairy tale ending
		The brothers, whose previous movies include "There's Something About Mary" and "Kingpin," scrambled Wednesday to make sure they were filming inside Busch Stadium in case the Sox swept.
		The stars of the upcoming Farrelly brothers' movie "Fever Pitch" were shooting a new happy ending, which has been cobbled together furiously in the wake of Boston's historic run to the world championship.
		Ordinarily, only players and accredited media are allowed on the field — a restriction put in place after stars like Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins celebrated in the Mets' locker room in 2000 and Billy Crystal repeatedly spent time in the Yankees' clubhouse over several seasons.

	BLUES BROTHERS 2000/ **
		John Landis's "Blues Brothers 2000", or "BB2K" for short, does not even think about this, and ignores any question of a culture clash, which makes for a very strange film.
		In the original 1980 film, when Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd) got out of jail to resurrect the blues band of himself and his brother Jake (John Belushi), their image was cool and energetic.
		Written by John Landis and Dan Aykroyd; based on the 1980 film "The Blues Brothers", written by Landis and Aykroyd.

		Carter's humanization is emphasized through the relationship he has with his brother's daughter (Rachel Leigh Cook), a young, confused girl he becomes a surrogate father to.
		And for all the importance that is placed on Carter discovering his brother's killers, we never get a sense of the bond between him and his sibling.
		Ironically, though, this crossover attempt is one of the elements that contributes to the downfall of the film.

	Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)
		This film is a good deal more fantastic than its predecessor - miraculous personality changes in the midst of a gospel mission; the Blues Brothers transformed by a voodoo priestess into green-skinned zombies for a calypso number; an appearance of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse above the stage during one performance.
		The plot simply rehashes that of the first film - Blues Brothers(s) get out of jail and sets about reuniting the band and a quest which, as the film progresses, escalates into a surreally overblown chase with the police and various terrorist groups.
		Plot: Elwood Blues is released from jail only to learn that his brother Jake has died while in incarceration.

		After a five year absence from his brother's life, he returns and in the process of attempting to do justice, he stumbles upon confusing subplots such as pornographic internet fare, old acquaintances, and his niece who he saves from her own misery.
		Yet, be forewarned, perhaps this movie serves an introducer to the new style of Stallone films.
		The minimal scenes of action are done at a fast pace, but the tone of the film revolves around the dramatic sequences.

		Christopher Nolan′s low budget film Memento (2000), which is based on the concept of a short story named Memento Mori written by Nolan′s brother Jonathan, was certainly one of the most successful films in the United States in 2000.
		The term film noir (literally black film) was first introduced by the French critic Nino Frank in 1946 as he noticed "how dark and often black" (Tims 1996) the settings and themes of these Hollywood films were.
		As far as the typical characters in these films are concerned, it has to be pointed out that there traditionally is a classical male protagonist.

	Hamlet (2000) London Movie Review
		Thus, the ‘play’ ("wherein to catch the conscience of the King") becomes Hamlet’s student film, and Ophelia becomes a photographer, collecting photos of flowers rather than the flowers themselves.
		Thankfully weighing in at a good two hours shorter than Branagh’s uncut 4-hour Hamlet, Michael Almereyda’s film proves that Shakespeare’s timeless play is still capable of springing a few surprises.
		To his disgust, his mother Gertrude (Diane Venora) has married her brother-in-law Claudius (Kyle Maclachlan), barely two months after the death of his father (Sam Shepherd) and when his father’s ghost appears and insists that Hamlet avenge his murder by Claudius, Hamlet has to decide what course of action to take.

	Welcome to CampusNut.com -- Movie Reviews
		So, Hamlet has the burden of avenging his father's murder, but he's not sure if the ghost is telling the truth so he rents about twenty videos from Blockbuster and extracts clips to piece together an avant-garde film designed to trick Claudius into revealing his own guilt.
		Hamlet, a film student at the University of Wittenberg, is visiting New York to see his mother and visit his girlfriend, Ophelia (Julia Stiles).
		Also, again visually, the actors are perfectly cast - Kyle McLachlan really does look like Hamlet Sr.'s (Sam Shepard) younger brother and Hamlet looks like he took hair and fashion tips from his old buddies, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

		In Blues Brothers 2000(It's a better title than Blues Brothers 2)Ellwood Blues, once again played with supreme cool and dark glasses by Dan Ackroyd, can't stay out of trouble.

	Amazon.ca: DVD: Blues Brothers 2000 (Widescreen)
		If Blues Brothers 2000 were made as a documentary about the Blues Brothers or a documentary about the musicians in the movie, then I might've given it some stars, but, as a movie, this is a horrible, pathetic, feeble attempt to recreate the magic of the first film, which is a near perfect comedy.
		Blues Brothers is about the characters and this poor excuse for a movie has none of the elements that made the original such an excellent movie.
		He is informed that his brother has died, but accepts this knowing that he is in a better place, probably performing the blues for the angels.

	Reviews of Eric Idle Sings Monty Python, Lynyrd Skynyrd All Time Greatest Hits, and Karen and Richard Carpenter Singles 1969-1981
		Carpenters, Singles 1969-1981 (AandM 2000) - Singles 1969-1981 brings together 21 songs, and is the worthy successor to their huge-selling greatest hits collection, Singles 1969-1973 (certified seven times platinum).
		Yet brother Richard more than held his own, as his arrangements have been studied at such prestigious institutions as Stanford University and the Berklee College of Music.
		Idle's post-Python work has included appearances in the films "Casper," "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen," and the American TV series, " Suddenly Susan." Eric now lives in the San Fernando Valley with his wife, Tania, and their daughter.
