Rolling Stone's 63rd greatest album of all time

I think this is when my enjoyment of U2 would diminish. I was surprised to enjoy their earlier albums, but this seems like the point where style overcame substance. One is an amazing song, but there wasn't an awful lot else to enjoy.

Viggo Mortensen recommended A People's History of the United States in Books (curated)

"If every U.S. citizen could have the benefit of knowing Zinn’s collection of historical texts from a wide range of relatively known and unknown people throughout our country’s history, there would be a lot better quality in our current political class and in the style and substance of our governance."

Imogen SB (4507 KP) rated What Did You Expect from the Vaccines? by The Vaccines in Music

Jun 25, 2019

Surfing the rock vibe

As first albums go, this is good. It really sets up a good feel for The Vaccines style and substance. Mixing surfer style with current indie rock helps create a new and fresh style of music, that I personally think is easily consumable by most listeners!

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated The Bad Batch (2016) in Movies

May 25, 2017

Waterhouse's performance struggles to convey simple behaviour convincingly - such as thinking about stuff or caring what happens. Amirpour is a talented director with a wonderful eye but her style lacks substance

Critic- John Bleasdale
Original Score: 2 out of 5

Movie Favorite

"In a bit of a stylistic departure from the Dogme films, which are bound by their namesake, Lars von Trier plays with rear projection and melodrama so beautifully. The color-treated scenes are just jaw-dropping; it’s a perfect marriage of style and substance. Not to mention Jean-Marc Barr is a total dreamboat here."

Bored senseless

The film could have been improved by removing the hour in the middle that had absolutely no substance at all or, and if I were you I'd do this, just don't bother wasting a single minute of your life watching any of it. Watch Apollo 13 or the Martian or literally any other space film.

What a disappointment

I was so looking forward to watching this, although reading poor reviews I still had high hopes. I was very disappointed, it was a slow burner, but a slow burner without much substance. I didn't feel connected to the characters or really care about what happened. I was so disappointed because the book was really good.
