"Julius Caesar"

     I just came home after seeing Denzel Washington in "Julius Caesar." It has gotten very mixed reviews, to put it kindly, and I'm sorry to say that the reviewers are right. It was pretty bad. Most of the actors, Denzel included, are just not properly trained to do Shakespeare. It was visually stunning, but the acting was disappointing and very uneven. A significant number of bios listed "Law & Order" as credits. TV and stage are very different and it showed. Colm Feore, who played Cassius, was terrific, but the rest, well . . . . Let's just say they should stick to what they do best.
