I’ve been running through my DVD collection lately, watching various films that I hadn’t seen before, or haven’t watched for a very long time.
Master and Commander: Russell Crowe leads a British crew against a French privateer. Splendid, well-made film. The shipboard scenes were all the more interesting to me given my recent reading of “The Terror“. (4 out of 5 stars.)
Red Dragon: Prequel to the classic “Silence of the Lambs”. Anthony Hopkins and Edward Norton are in fine form, and Ralph Fiennes makes for a menacing and believable villain. (4 out of 5 stars.)

M&C is a favorite of mine. What a thoroughly engaging movie. I haven’t actually seen Red Dragon yet, for some reason. I’ll have to get around to it sometime (heck, I even think I own it).
Red Dragon is one that is easy to dismiss as unworthy – until you see it. Edward Norton does a fine job, and Hopkins of course was born to play Hannibal.
