Going to see Master and Commander this evening. Can barely sit still waiting. Has anyone seen it? What do you think?

Ed & Tommy,

I loved the Hornblower movie with Gregory Peck and the TV series on PBS. I hope this flick is just as good because I love the period and the history and Russel Crowe looks like a hero you can root for!

Keep us posted!
