I liked them alright, but they are a bit light. It's very expensive to film
anything on the water. The books are way better. One of the better adoptions
of historical fiction books is the BBC versions of the Richard Sharpe series
by Bernard Cornwell. I've read all his books--they're great, and the series
is on DVD. Very good stuff. And very much in keeping with my love of Lbs.

Subject: RE: Master & Commander
If you like Master & Commander, take in the Horatio Hornblower series on A&E
networks or DVD. 2 new movies will be broadcast on Dec 2 & 3...
