| Richard III

I watched Richard III starring Magneato on Netflix last night and it was really good, in a weird alt-universe-Shakespeare kinda way! This is the 1995 version of Richard III and it's set in a fascist WW2-era England. I had no idea that it was a funky alternative history setting, so my sci-fi heart was pleasantly surprised. Ian McKellen is fucking awesome and there's even a young Dominic West (McNutty from the Wire) as Henry Tudor. If can stomach some Shakespeare (albeit, slightly modernized), I'd highly recommend it.
