" Vudu- 1hr. 44min. First Viewing I'll be honest; I'm in no real position to give an accurate assessment of this movie. While I did see most of it, I fell asleep a bit in the last act.

"36 as Lord Rivers I'm not a fan of Shakespearean style speaking. I was floored when I saw him and Annette Benning again. They were also in the the movie In Dreams together. I barely got 10 screen caps before he got killed though but made it easy to do a collage though."
