Master and Commander

If you’ve spent the last forty years or so complaining that “they just don’t make movies like that” anymore, then you’ll be happy to know they just have.

Bottom Line: Highly recommended. Sign me on for another voyage.

Love Actually

Structured like a Christmas party sweets table, Love Actually is full of enticing confections without any substance or connection. Which is not to say that some of the tidbits aren’t wonderful.

Bottom Line: Good, but not great. Rated R for a British sense of humour.
