Young Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) must keep his promise to free his father from Davy Jones's indentured Hell. Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) must choose between the honorable fighter and the self-serving rogue while fulfilling her new lordly duties. And Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) still makes us wonder if his success at staying one-step ahead is the result of unbelievable luck or unseen genius that flows through his thick braids. My timbers are a-shivering. The experience that is "Pirates" is two tubs-of-popcorn worth of fun. As a film based off of a theme park ride, a robust imagination is all that's needed to power this kind of film. The laws of reality are bent like a pretzel. And consequently, what's up is down; what's dead is alive; and what probably could have been clunky and waterlogged is actually crazy and beautiful. The last installment is the most ambitious and jam-packed of the three. The malevolent Lord Beckett (Tom Hollander) continues his personal mission of ridding the world of pirates or anyone who has associated with them. He has also coerced into service the dreaded Davy Jones, whose lone Flying Dutchman galleon is a naval force unto itself. In order to make a stand, our heroes hope to summon the aid of the Pirate Lords from across the reaches of the globe. Only united will they have a chance to stave off annihilation. Pirates never looked so cool. And the characters have all matured. Elizabeth is no longer just a pretty face. Orlando Bloom has graduated into a leader. Johnny Depp has created a character that is undeniably his own. Geoffrey Rush steals the show with his brand of histrionics. Now, that's not to say it doesn't have its drawbacks because it certainly does. With pirates facing extinction, the battles could have been bloodier to accentuate their desperate predicament. The romantic tension between Elizabeth and William felt contrived at times. There are a lot of things happening, and you'll enjoy the film better if you are sitting in the back-third of the theatre. There is very little direct confrontation between the heroes and the villains until the wild finale. But for all of its shortcomings, "Pirates" always borders on the exhilarating. The acting is great. The visuals are stunning. It has its share of kooky surprises. Without giving it away, the whole enjoyment factor is summed up during the climactic battle sequence in which Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann finally...finally determine the course of their will-they-be-together-or-not subplot. When I walked into the theatre, there was a palpable air of excitement as hundreds of patrons quickly moved to get into line. I muttered to myself that this is just like going to Disneyland. And, as I left the theatre 3+ hours later, I said it again. That felt just like going to Disneyland. "Pirates" is the perfect summertime film. (close)

On the warmest day of the year, the country estate takes on an unsettling hothouse atmosphere, stoking Briony's vivid imagination. Robbie Turner (McAvoy), the educated son of the family's housekeeper, carries a torch for Briony's headstrong older sister Cecilia (Knightley). Cecilia, he hopes, has comparable feelings; all it will take is one spark for this relationship to combust.

Mamma Mia Movie Review

If hearing ABBA songs makes you happy, then you’re going to love Mamma Mia! Who knew that 70’s pop icons ABBA would still be talked about so much today?

Sleuth Movie Review

It's hard to term this as a remake of the 1972 film Sleuth, an adaptation by Anthony Shaffer of his own play. That movie pitted Michael Caine in the role of Tindle against Laurence Olivier's Wyke to brilliant success.

Run Fatboy Run Movie Review

Initially I was a bit worried about seeing this movie. After watching the trailer I was thinking this might become a bit predictable and be very hit and miss... But, Pegg somehow pulls them off and even if you can see them coming they're still funny.
