"The moment I set eyes on the fascinating cover of Piratica, I knew that it was going to be a really good book. Once I started reading, I just couldn't put it down! The story is reallt well-written, and the characters are very original, funny and nasty all at the same time. Hip-hip hooray for pirates!"

"Well, I was just thinking about POTC, and I came to a conclusion that when there's a series of film, no matter what it is, the first one is always the best. And I stand by that with POTC as well.
The first film was the most hilarious, amusing, and adventurous. It was a new and original story that I enjoyed to watch, because the storyline was still fresh and uncomplicated.
The second film was a little more confusing, because the storyline stretched out even more, but it was still funny, and even though I already knew the personality of all the characters, I still learned a little bit more about their history and their being.
Now, the third film was a joke. There were too many random things going on that I could barely keep track of the storyline. There were less funny moments, but more bizarre things that I didn't understand. It was okay to watch, but like I said; the first film is always the best."

Master and Commander

"I liked Master and Commander purely for the theme, because I was rather lost on the plot. I got the general gist of it, but the end rather confused me, and so did a few details in the movie. However, the effects are wonderful, and I learned a lot about what the Navy was all about! I enjoyed the characters, and the whole movie in general, even though there were a couple scenes that brought a few tears to my eyes."

"I saw this movie with my grandfather when it first came out, and since that day it has been my favorite movie. Being somewhat of a historian, and listening to my grandfather talk about the movie, I love this movie for the realistic way that life on the sea has been portrayed. The story is tricky, but for those of us (raises hand) that over analyze things, this movie is just right. The acting, special effects, and historical accuracy were impeccable! There were only a few minor mistakes (and those are only ones a history freak might find...looking around...)"

"This animated film may look like it's for little kids, but truthfully, I really like it! The concept of pirates in the future is really original, and all the characters are enjoyable to watch.Treasure Planet is also a pretty hilarious film, so it will surely lift your mood! The story is also interesting, and even though I've seen it about a hundred times, I enjoy it every time I watch it."
