What's cool about 'Coriolanus' is that it isn't a period piece; the original text is believed to be written between 1605 and 1608. Instead the film appears to take place in modern times. This makes the story about the rise and fall of a military man in a war-torn country all the more topical.

Voldemort does Shakespeare
You know that great feeling when you stumble upon something great? Well, that's what I felt when I found out about 'Coriolanus'. Based upon a tragedy by William Shakespeare it is Ralph Fiennes' directorial debut. Fiennes has established himself as one of the great British actors of our time with roles in 'Schindler's List', 'The English Patient', 'In Bruges', 'The Reader' and the Harry Potter films, in which he played the evil wizard Voldemort .
