90's Shakespeare Adaptations is going to be a short sub-sub-genre. Hopefully we'll be able to revisit it at a later date, but for now enjoy Let the Devil Wear Black (1999) directed by Stacy Title. It's a dark, gritty retelling of Hamlet set in a late 90's L.A., and the boys are laser-focused this week. Take a husband/wife writer duo, let him star and her direct...what do you get? A jumbled mess of a script that desperately wants to be something it isn't. How many times can our lead character contradict himself in dialogue? How many GREAT actors can you pack in a movie before they came into their own? And how do odd editing choices affect an audience? Come check it out with Jake & Klouse!

Next week's movie: She's the Man (2006) dir. Andy Fickman
