Scott Brown is a senior writer for EW and a frequent contributor to National Public Radio -- he has the tote bag to prove it

This is the ''Hamlet'' high school taught you to hate, a drab pageant of quasi-turn-of-the-century costumes and relentlessly canonical line readings, punctuated with piano noodlings that would induce narcolepsy in Yanni. (Blame the TV backer Hallmark Entertainment, of ''Merlin'' fame.) Campbell Scott makes a good if not great Dane, but as a codirector, he's a dog: Yorick's skull is, by far, the liveliest thing on screen.
