I was thinking about all the phrases that Shakespeare introduced into the english language and thought it would be a good exercise to try and spin some of these phrases into reviews, in respect for the old bardstard.
Would be interested to see if anyone else could/has come up with any others. Here's a list of some of his phrases to get your creative juices going.
Some of my entries
More to follow once I work out how to do one link to all of them. Watch this space (or go to my reviews page). |

Thanks to BiggerBoat for inspiring a review I just had approved which is now one of my favourites! Funnily enough, I didn't actually think of the pun and then find the film - I came across a good film to review and then obviously had Shakespeare on the brain when thinking of review ideas!
To be, or not to be?
(It's also in my FYC this week.)

Two films that have brought out the Bard in many of us:
Live Nude Shakespeare
The Complete Works of WS Abridged
A few others:
��kiss me, Kate�
��lean and hungry look�
� What dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil�
��the winter of our discontent��
More discontent.
�Though this be madness, yet there�s method in it.�
�A plague on both your houses.�
There are others but they are title based.

Brilliant. I love some people's reaction to Shakespeare when they don't know what's coming.
A couple of years ago I played Hamlet in an open air production and was flyering in costume on the streets of Cambridge to drum up audiences at the start of the run - and some bloke walking past me muttered "Fuckbeth" - kept me amused for weeks. |

A rich source in this film, but I've only listed my text-based, not title puns.
Well, I'm finally inspired to submit some reviews for this movie. Maybe one will get accepted this time! |

on a kind-of-related note, the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival just wrapped its FREE run of "Macbeth" and begins "Romeo and Juliet" soon. during the scene in which MacDuff's family is assassinated, a lady in the audience screamed, "HE KILLED A BABY! WHAT KIND OF FUCKIN' PLAY IS THIS?"
Oh shit, I've cloned that quite excellent review. I used it for Cook, Thief, Wife, Lover, but yours is a better fit. Deletion imminent!
i notice that it's already gone, but i don't think that was necessary. i'm sure it wasn't intentionally duplicated and i've seen other identical reviews for different films by different users. the integrity is refreshing though. |
