Spoiler Alert!

Maybe I should have known better than to try and sit through 147 minutes of Johnny, Kiera and Orlando at midnight on a Saturday night. After all, I was not at all impressed with the sequel. Was I really hoping that “Pirates of the Carribean: At World’s End” would pull a 180 and recreate the magic of the original?

Unfortunately, it didn’t. No, it wasn’t as painful as sitting through the second one was. After all, “Dead Man’s Chest,” really did nothing but create dozens of loosely intertwining subplots while introducing a myriad of underdeveloped characters. For all its faults, at least “At World’s End” tied the stories together, and gave the movie a nice, albeit very unexpected, ending (while simultaneously setting the stage for brand new adventures if they so desire to create a Pirates 4).

My biggest gripe of the movie was that it did an awful job some key plot features. For example, remember the Kracken, that evil sea-thing that Davey Jones would summon to utterly destroy ships? Yeah, that puppy was nowhere to be found in the third film. It was briefly alluded to early on, and then at a certain point you actually see a dead creature that’s supposed to be the monster, but you’re never really able to tell. Read More »

Johnny, Matt, George, Brad, Tobey, Shrek … You’re all going to make me a very happy and sat-is-fied girl this summer. I’ll be laughing, I’ll be lusting, I’ll be spending A LOT of time at the movie theater.

The line up of summer flicks is pretty awesome: Pirates of the Carribean 3, The Bourne Ultimatum, Ocean’s 13, Shrek the Third, Spiderman 3. Strangely, all of the ones I’m interested in seeing are third sequels. What’s up with that?

Which movie do you want to see the most?

Any movie with Johnny Depp is worth watching because he’s hot. Obviously that means I’m all about the Pirates of the Carribean. I usually frown upon any sequels, but I can’t get enough of Jack Sparrow. He’s so freakin’ wacked out … it’s awesome. So the fact that I was able to find the trailer for Pirates of the Carribean: World’s End made me seriously clap my hands … maybe there was a fist pump in there (I’m not afraid to admit it).

So here it is, for your viewing pleasure.
