Battlefield Earth and Hamlet in a Modern Tech World
A mixed review contrasts Battlefield Earth as overreaching pulp with weak science and sci fi logic, while Hamlet updated by Michael Almereyda in a corporate, gadget filled setting earns praise for boldness but criticizes over gimmickry and muffled language. Travolta and Hawke lead strong performances amid uneven execution.

Winter Sleepers review a listless German drama
The film by Tom Tykwer aims to explore time chance and interconnected lives with a stylish typewriter like reveal of character names but drags. Despite strong visuals and a rotating cast of German youths the two hour plus runtime feels slow and disjointed ending with a fatigued audience.
