Master and Commander reviews
Being a Peter Weir fan, I definitely will be awaiting this film. And I was very glad to read these:
"If Weir were to score his fourth directing Oscar nomination for the film, it would not be undeserved."
http://www.screendaily.com/story.asp...d=14869&r=true
"Not since Hitchcock's "Lifeboat" has a film that takes place almost completely on the water been so absolutely involving."
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/click/...=1&rid=1213940
"Rare proof that a gigantic production in contemporary Hollywood can possess a distinctive personality, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World proves as bracing as a stiff wind on the open sea." - Variety
Sounds great!

We're working up a review for the film so expect it in the next week.
All I can say is that at the screening I attended about 1/2 of the critics hated the film and the other 'liked' it.
I can't see it being oscar material, but if you liked Das Boot you might like M&C
