• I have two film reviews in The A.V. Club this week, one for Red Tails, the other for Coriolanus. The first is a long-in-the-works George Lucas production about the Tuskegee Airmen. It’s not very good. The other is Ralph Fiennes’ directorial debut and the first, best I can tell, feature film adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s least-loved major plays. It’s quite good. The former’s a fact-inspired WWII story seemingly created to show off some CGI effects. The latter’s set in a contemporary “Rome” of the imagination abut feel much more immediate, and aware of the toll war takes on the soul.
