I plan on going to see the Russell Crowe movie as soon as it is showing here in Vancouver area so i am pleased to hear the good reviews.. Not that it has been panned by Ebert and Roeper..
As a point of interest i am an avid fan of so-called "period" movies.. the earlier the better.. Braveheart, Rob Roy, Druids, 13th Warrior are a few that float to the top of my memory at the moment OH yes, Jane Grey and Elizabeth To be perfectly honest, i spend as much time looking at the costumes as i do following the plot..
I know the accuracy is way off the mark in some cases.. but it is fun to watch anyway..
Which reminds me.. has any one read Michel Crochton's latest book Timeline? Ihave read parts of it.. (Bjorn likes me to read to him/her) and we are looking fwd to seeing the movie.. There are some wonderful tourney/battle scenes .. i have seen one or two clips on tv that look quite good.. Bit late for us, as far as period goes, but hey,who says we cannot time travel ourselves?

the swashbuckling variety, so:

Horation Hornblower will have two new movies in
the series, these would be 7 & 8, on Dec. 2nd & 3rd.
at 8 pm e.s.t./7 p.m central time on the
Arts and Entertainment Channel.
There was a nice picture book published on the earlier
series shoot of several years ago.
[It's not as charmingly warm as the Gregory Peck
version but there is more of it. Peck was great as a
seafaring boat captain in The World in His Arms as well.]

These films were shot in the same tank and area they just
filmed the new Master and Commander in that Russell
Crowe is currently playing in in the movie theaters.
One hundred days in the tank, with the capabilities to
tilt the ship in it and throw water in large amounts
from different angles, and ten filming on the sea itself.
