Re: What was the last movie you watched?
Romeo + Juliet
It was very interesting to see one of Shakespeare's works set in the modern day, and this proved to be surprisingly successful. Leonardo DiCaprio was, as always (biased? What is biased?) fantastic, but the best performance came from Claire Danes - I believe she's done some work for television in America, but I haven't seen her before. However, she was as good of Leonardo. Everything was played right up to the hilt; for example, the candles and blue lights in a swimming pool where Romeo and Juliet meet up was pretty corny.

Also, the fact that Juliet actually woke up just as Romeo drank the poison was a bit over-dramatic.
I was amazed to find that I enjoyed this. Finally, English lessons have got something right.
