So Matt and I went to see Russell Crowe’s latest movie on Friday. I thought it was pretty good. If you want sailing scenes, this movie was full of ‘em. And good scenes too. I’m quite impressed, although I’m told they didn’t really spend that much time filming on the ocean.
After we saw it, I read reviews on movies.yahoo.com and was amused to see someone who didn’t like the movie because he didn’t understand it asking, “Why were the British fighting the French?” There are so many yahoos on Yahoo.
Then there were those who compared it to “Pirates of the Caribbean” which I guess you could do, if you feel you can compare “Black Sheep Squadron” with “M.A.S.H.“
