I’m still working through the O’Brien/O’Brian (Patrick and Flann) section of the bookshelf. I missed the movie of Master and Commander, as I was out of town too long, and will have to watch it on DVD, which will definitely be a second-best option for this kind of film. I did see Japanese Story, a film with a rather slight plot, but an excellent performance from Toni Collette.

Paddy McGuiness used to do film reviews in the 70s – on Channel 7 late at night, wearing sunglasses, whereupon he was known as “Australia’s only blind film reviewer”.
You’re not thinking of taking up after him, are you?
