Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge (aka Dead Men Tell No Tales) movie review: yo ho no

Tue, May 23, 2017

The franchise finally overstays its welcome with this cacophony of CGI spectacle, a contrived and confusing plot, and a newly cruel and stupid Jack Sparrow.

question of the day: Has Hollywood abandoned young men?

Tue, Nov 15, 2011

Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, Thor, Green Lantern, X-Men, Captain America, etc. This is what 2011 looks like at the movies. In what way can it be construed that young men are “endangered” at the box office?

question of the day: What is the appeal of ‘The Inbetweeners’?

Wed, Sep 07, 2011
no comments yet

I thought I was safe avoiding The Inbetweeners Movie. It’s based on a TV show I’ve never seen, it wasn’t screened for critics, and it looks awful. But now it’s a veritable phenomenon at the U.K. box office…

question of the day: Are you able to find 2D versions of hot new 3D movies in your hometown?

Wed, May 25, 2011

Half of those who saw Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides this past weekend in North America saw in it 2D. Which is almost impossible in some places…

question of the day: Do you feel left out if you don’t see a big movie on opening weekend?

If you don’t head out opening weekend, when do you make it a point to see a big new film: a few weeks later? not till DVD? never?

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (review)

Tue, May 17, 2011

I’ve listened to my fellow critics snarking on the film’s many many faults and I’ve laughed, but only at myself, because they’re not wrong and yet still it doesn’t change the fact that I really had a lot of fun with this movie.

question of the day: Johnny Depp and Rachel Weisz in Rob Marshall’s ‘The Thin Man’: good idea or the death of film?

Wed, May 11, 2011

I love Depp and Weisz, and I bet they’d be fantastic together. But is there any reason to remake a classic? Is there any hope in hell it could possibly be better than the original? Why bother to make such a movie at all… except that Hollywood is unashamed of its creative bankruptcy?

Hoorah! A woman pirate who actually gets to do piratey things, and is played by Penelope Cruz? Awesome!

omg: dude finds script for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 4,’ turns it in without reading it

I don’t know if I’d have had as much fortitude. Via W.E.N.N.: The plot of the fourth installment of the ‘Pirates of the Carribean’ franchise nearly became public knowledge this week after a copy of the film’s script was found in a London cafe. Johnny Depp began shooting Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, … more…
