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.
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!
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.

obsession: Doctor Who (David Tennant’s almost gone!) boyfriend: Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes (sexiest Holmes ever) psyched: Daybreakers (because the Spierig Brothers made the awesome Undead a few years back) girl crush: Vera Farmiga in Up in the Air (because she’s too cool) dreading: Leap Year (launching a new decade of rom-com crap) enemy: … more…
We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but… prezzies! toys! candy canes! snowball fights! big holiday dinner! But you can have a multiplex-like experience at home with a collection of the right DVDs. And when someone asks you on Monday, “Hey, did you see Sherlock Holmes this weekend?” … more…
Woo-hoo! It’s the end of the world — again — as Roland Emmerich knows it, and I feel fine. Oh, there can be no question that this is crap, but will 2012 (opens in the U.S. and the U.K. on November 13) be glorious crap? I think it might be. I hope it might be. … more…
