I am thinking of renting this movie, as I never got around to seeing it in the theater. I was wondering if it is worth it. It recieved quite a bit of praise, and I want to know what you think of it.

I missed this at the cinema, but my DVD copy turned up yesteday, so I think tonight's the night to settle down with my cats, a couple of cans of Coke, a big bowl of crisps and put it on.
It doesn't get any better than this...

Mrs Sinister will be in the other room, in bed. She doesn't like the sort of films I like, so she'd only talk all the way through it. I'd prefer to watch it on my own. She'd probably prefer that too.

The Hornblower books and Obrian' series of books both cover the same era except that the Hornblower series starts in 1793 whereas Aubrey.Maturin series starts in about 1800.Originally posted by DropkickMolly
Master and Commander was a good film, i'm not sure of the historical accuracy. Howver, C.S. Forrestor's "Horatio Hornblower" series can make anyone want to sail off with the Royal navy.
Just turn off your brain and let it wash over you. I made the fatal error of buying the DVD for Mrs. Sinister for Mother's Day and we had to watch it together. If you turn off your brain, or leave it elsewhere reading a book or something, the time goes much quicker.Originally posted by SGT Long
Im dreading "love naturally" when i go home on leave in June......
My God,Why not just get her "Pretty woman"?? Being as Ive been seperated from my wife for four months,I must say the "moive set" scenes were interesting......I made the fatal error of buying the DVD for Mrs. Sinister for Mother's Day and we had to watch it together.

Managed to get through the viewing without this happening. You can all scale back to DEFCON 3 now, there will be no Superweapon deployment tonight. Can’t promise anything for the rest of the week though.Originally posted by hogdriver

Watch those cans of Coke don't jump out of your hands, we wouldn't want a repeat performance of the other day.
No more than a handy plot device. As I said, it's based on a book, a work of fiction.Originally posted by Txemapamundi
Actually, it was something less of a secret as one of the crewmembers was able to assemble a model of the hull after seeing it being built.
Might not be a secret now, 200 years later, but it would certainly have been a state secret at the time wouldn't it?Originally posted by Txemapamundi
The Acheron is obviously patterned after the large American frigates of the Constitution class, with a strong hull of closely spaced ribs which allow enemy shot to be stopped and capable of supporting strong masts, allowing for larger sails and more speed. Nothing secret about, just more expensive ships than the Royal Navy's, to which you must add that HMS Surprise is deemed (at least in the book) to have been a bit too long in the tooth.
