Hamlet And Evita

Critic Bob Mondello reviews two movies... a 4-hour version of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" directed by Kenneth Branagh and "Evita," a musical based on the stage play directed by Alan Parker and starring Madonna as Eva Peron. Both films are lush feasts for the eyes, and both are opening today in Los Angeles and New York and will open in other cities in January.
