McCabe, Richard

• Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)

  [9/10]

  "Master and Commander excels at presenting a picture of life on a nineteenth century naval vessel: close quarters, dirty living conditions, and a high likelihood of receiving severe wounds or dying."

• Notting Hill (1999)

  [6/10]

  "Can the boy love the girl and live happily ever after, even though the girl is a movie star? Of course, they have one last chance to reunite and make up and to leave the audience with the requisite warm-fuzzy feeling."

  Average score: 7.50
