I've always thought Russell Crowe did a very good job, 'A Beautiful Mind', 'Cinderella Man' and 'M&C' were exceptional movies I thought ... regardless of the sound effects.
I've never been one to keep up with what's happening in some actor’s personal life anyways. I couldn't agree more. If one really wanted to dig into just about any performer or artists personal life, I most likely wouldn’t like any of them and be forced to go threw my life not watching any movies or buying any music. Gladiator happens to be one of my all time favorite movies. I happened to like MI -1 and MI – 3. Can’t say the same for MI-2, but that had nothing to do with the actor.

I agree, Mike, MI-2 was supremely sucky. I liked the other two.

I still need to see the supposedly good John Woo movies. I have to say, his career in America hasn't done a lot for me.

By the way, I do have Master and Commander on Blu-ray to watch now, and I actually dreamed last night about watching a Russell Crowe movie and enjoying his performance. I also dreamed that I came onto the message board to post about my dream, and then I woke up to find out I still had to post about it.

I received M&C today and just watched the opening scene cranked up loud... My dad is here in town visiting and we both were very impressed. He turned to me after the scene as the cannon fire subsided and said "Holy $%it." (My thoughts exactly.)
The combination of pounding from the cannons and incredible surround from wood splintering, etc. are very impressive.
Can't wait to watch the whole thing.

I just got done watching. It's a well-done movie, and I will admit I didn't mind Russell Crowe in this role.

How does the BR version compare to the DVD in terms of sound - I can't imagine the DVD could be topped....
