"Two households both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny.
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife"
There have been many film adaptations of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". I have to say of all that I have seen I think that Zeffirelli's 1968 version is by far the best.
"Romeo and Juliet" was the third consecutive Shakespearean play for the Italian director, following a television production of "Much Ado about Nothing" and the Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton film, "The Taming of the Shrew". Zeffirelli later directed "Othello" and "Hamlet", but his most ...
Advantages: Excellent album, great variety of songs, really different for Juliette Lewis Disadvantages: A couple of bad songs...
of Juliette and Omar and a picture of Juliette performing.
I would definitely recommend purchasing the actual CD so you can look at the beautiful art, it just isn't the same looking at it on your screen.

You can really hear the influence of TMV (The Mars Volta) on this track with the echoey vocals from Juliette and the music. The lyrics are dark and haunting with references to 'bloodied walls' and a killer.
Noche Sin Fin
This track is ...
Baz Luhrman's 1996 modern update of Shakespeare's classic Romeo and Juliet met with instant success. It combined trademark intense visuals from Luhrman with an impressive musical score, and some great up and coming actors.
I've never really been a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, and although I found his portrayal of lovelorn Romeo a bit annoying at times, the basics of it were impressive. A Montague set in modern day Verona, he has as his family'e enemies the Capulets. Juliet, with whom he falls in love, is the daughter of the Capulets, and when she finds the love at first sight reciprocal, it sets off a whole series of mistimed and unlucky events.
Claire Danes is really good as the wide eyed and innocent Juliet, who likes what she sees and dreams of the impossible. She and Leo together are a good lead pair of actors, and are brilliantly ...
