Schreiber, Liev

• Hamlet (2000)

  [7/10]

  "I don't think that this version with its modern setting brings too many young people to an appreciation of Shakespeare, but for those of us who have liked Shakespeare all along, it gives us some new ways of looking at a classic."

• Jakob the Liar (1999)

  [6/10]

  "Worth seeing once, but it won't loose much in the transition to home video."

• Omen, The (2006)

  [5/10]

  "Even though each of the parts of the remake surpasses the scenes in the original, the sum of the parts doesn't surpass the effect of the original."

• Painted Veil, The (2006)

  [8/10]

  "The Painted Veil makes a methodical study of a couple that starts out with a marriage of convenience, deal with adultery, and come to love each other more deeply than they every expected."

  Average score: 6.50
