Crowe is set to play Capt. Jack Aubrey, in "Master and Commander," the first Novel in the series in the Patrick O'Brian's book series. Great series, and good casting, IMO. The last one of this scope was "Hornblower" with Greg Peck, back in the '50s.

There, there, The Two Towers will open soon ;-) I dare say its success will inspire some imitation, but the Battle of Helm's Deep is going to be hard to top. I saw one fan's review that said, "the Battle of Helm's Deep makes Attack of the Clones look like it was shot in a barn with hand puppets," and I can see where he's coming from. So far, most of the critics seem to like TTT even better than they did Fellowship of the Ring, primarily for its kick-ass battles, sweeping vistas, grand armies, and quick pace. TTT took more liberties with the story than Fellowship did, not all of them successful imo. Since I'm more into character and story than battles, however grand, I'll probably like the Extended Edition better, as I did with Fellowship.
