David McK (3816 KP) rated Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) in Movies
Jul 25, 2021
Peter Weir's 2003 Napoleonic naval epic, based on the Aubrey/Maturin books by Patrick O'brien and starring a post-Gladiator Russel Crowe alongside a PRE-MCU Paul Bettany.
And, like the books, I found this to be quite slow and heavy going: nice visuals, definitely, and some tense moments, but the connective 'tissue' very drawn out and just, well, boring.
Hornblower this isn't.
Your mileage may vary on whether that is a good thing or not.

Acting (1 more)
Mykelti Williamson
Great acting, shame about the rest
It pains me to say this, but I really wasnt impressed with this film. The acting is fantastic, from Denzel Washington, Viola Davis and Mykelti Williamson (Bubba!), and the dialogue too is top notch. The problem is the film is too dialogue heavy and the rest of the story seems to take a back seat. Most of the film is taken up by characters standing around talking. Yes they are delivering some great pieces of dialogue, but it just isn't enough to stop the film from becoming a little bit tedious. You can really tell that its been adapted from a play, with the heavy dialogue and minimal sets. And it doesn't help that Washington's character isn't very likeable.
Sadly this film reminds me a little of Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, which had so much talking in the first half that I fell asleep before the intermission. Fortunately Fences isn't quite this bad as it is at least propped up by some fantastic performances.

Robert Lindsay (9 KP) rated A Modern Tragedy Vol 2 by Grandson in Music

All killer, no filler (2 more)
Extremely heavy and modern sounding
Leaves me craving to see them live
Razor sharp rock and hip-hop fusion
Discovered at random while searching for Rock music released this year, Grandson managed to be heavy and thrilling, while also utilising modern production techniques more usually associated with hip hop and electronic music, the fusion is excellent.
There are five tracks on this EP and each has a distinctive flavour. Apologize is a swaggering endorsement of the self, warts and all, which every listener can adopt as their own personal anthem. Stigmata is a full on, head down rocker that no doubt sets mosh pits ablaze. Is This What You Wanted is a searing enditement of facing the grinding misery of the world, compared with escaping it via indulgence and excess, slower than its predecessors but no less furious. Falling is a tripped out meditation on struggling with addiction. Darkside is the take of a would - be school shooter that drips with menace until it finally drops, when it becomes openly hostile.

“EMPRESS IN REVERSE“
“Empress in Reverse” consists of psychedelic instrumentation, dreamy melodies, and charming vocals that you won’t be able to get out of your head. It’s smooth, delicious, and ear-welcoming.

CONCLUSION
