Head of State (2003) |

Wildflower (1991) |

Sordid Lives (2001) |
Runs the risk of alienating its audience by going a little too far over the top and, in its efforts to be different, delivers instead, more of the same. - Apollo Guide

Hamlet (2000) |
This version of the tale is far from being the first, last, best or worst. Shakespeare junkies should make their own decisions about pursuing this take, heeding advice from the man himself, 'to thine own self be true.' - Apollo Guide
