The Tempest
2010
After years stranded on a deserted island, exiled duchess and sorceress Prospera (Helen Mirren) exacts vengeance on her enemies, whose passing vessel she has shipwrecked. What she doesn't know is that the ship also carries a potential suitor to her daughter (Felicity Jones). Writer-director Julie Taymor's bold adaptation of Shakespeare's classic play also stars Russell Brand, Djimon Hounsou, Alfred Molina and Chris Cooper.

The dialogue is Shakespearian Prose - not a translation. This can make it quite hard to understand at times with the speedy delivery. The acting was okay and it was filmed pretty well.
