  • Review: ‘In the Heart of the Sea’ stays afloat via its visual drama (Includes first-hand account)

    There are different types of skill, some of which are inherent or inherited and others that are learned or improved via practice. However the idea that these should be judged differently or affect the quality of the product generated is absurd.
