Master and Commander: The Far side of the World - *

When I think of a film with a cast entirely of men, set on a boat at sea where all they do is play with their cannons and shoot them at other men, I expect some action. Starring Russell Crowe doesn't hurt.

Jokingly, I hint at a gay subtext. However, since this film is mostly dinner parties and string duets, a few scenes of raw man-on-man sex would not only gay it down a few pegs, but also liven the plot.

Maybe the next film will be called, "Master and Commander and Will and Grace."
