Robin Williams RIP
I wish I could say that I was surprised this morning to hear of his death. Sad, yes. But not surprised.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World movie review: where pulp meets art
This isn’t what I was expecting. I figured on clanging swords and thundering cannons and lots of swashbuckling, but this buckles far less swash than I imagined it would. I was expecting pulpy action adventure that was a whole lot of movie fun — I wasn’t expecting pulpy action adventure with real smarts and genuine heart and a grounding in reality.
