“Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” Movie Review
“P.O.T.C.” Plot Summary
Blacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate “Captain” Jack Sparrow to save his love, the governor’s daughter, from Jack’s former pirate allies, who are now undead.
A tale of love, war and power
Oh and what a movie this is. There is something for everyone in the family with this movie, romance, action, drama, horror, adventure and fantasy. A quality of acting rivaling no other movie in recent times, except for the Rings trilogy, but that’s another thing altogether. I have watched this movies so many times that I can’t even keep track. This movie never gets boring. Johnny Depp is at the top of this career with this film!! A must see, many times over. A true classic! The cursed tale of a pirate ship’s captain, marooned by his mutineering mates and left for dead on a desert isle. He returns with another ship, this time stolen from the Royal Navy, in order to reclaim his rightful command of the infamous Black Pearl, a ship so evil that hell itself spat back her dead. He is joined by the son of a murdered pirate ship’s mate, a swordsman who’s skill and craft are equal to that of Robin Hood himself. The boy is motivated by love for a woman, herself of royal blood and captured by those mutineering pirates of ill repute in order to release a curse cast upon them from the captured gold of the famous Spanish explorer and conquistador, Hernando Cortez. With the Royal Navy in hot pursuit of their stolen ship, the captain and the boy, along with another crew of pirates, make haste for the Black Pearl, execute a cunning plan, and live happily ever after. Well, not exactly like that but almost. This film is destined a classic because of the dry, witty comments, superb acting of the entire cast, outstanding writing and special effects, and it’s about time someone put this swashbuckling story to film. Rated PG-13, which is the number of times you should see this movie.

“The Talented Mr. Ripley” Movie Review
“The Talented Mr. Ripley” Plot Summary
In late 1950’s New York, Tom Ripley, a young underachiever, is sent to Europe to retrieve a rich and spoiled millionaire playboy, named Dickie Greenleaf. But when the errand fails, Ripley takes extreme measures.
Elegant, literary thriller
THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY Aspect ratio: 1.85:1Sound formats: Dolby Digital / DTSWhilst in Italy, a young American chancer (Matt Damon) assumes the identity of a wealthy playboy (Jude Law) with whom he’s become emotionally obsessed, leading to murder and betrayal on a grand scale
Elegant, literary thriller based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith (the subject of an earlier adaptation, PLEIN SOLEIL, in 1960), in which sociopathic anti-hero Tom Ripley (Damon) cheats, steals and murders his way to a position of huge good fortune, leaving a trail of devastation in his wake. Set against the backdrop of tourist Italy – encompassing Rome and Venice and all points in between – Anthony Minghella’s film is a compelling treat from start to finish, layering detail upon detail as Damon’s friendship with Law blossoms and sours, leading to an inevitable plot twist which introduces a whole new set of complications for the central characters, rendering the audience complicit in Ripley’s escalating crime wave
Damon may seem a little too young and unworldly for such a complex character, but he judges the role with great sensitivity, especially in those scenes where (overtly or otherwise) he indicates a sexual attraction to Law which goes unreciprocated (or does it?), until the characters are driven apart by jealousy, bitterness and – ultimately – violence. His fantasies shattered by harsh reality, Damon finds solace in the arms of a mutual acquaintance (Jack Davenport), the only person capable of taking Law’s place in Damon’s affections, only for their chance of happiness to be snatched away by a cruel trick of fate. Terrific, Oscar-caliber support by Gwyneth Paltrow and Philip Seymour Hoffman (as Law’s fiancee and best friend, respectively); beautiful, classy production values throughout. Followed by RIPLEY’S GAME (2002).

“P.O.T.C. 2″ Plot Summary

Viva Pirates!
Well, first of all, when I read the review for the movie in my hometown paper, I was a little scared that Pirates might be a let down. The trailer and the movie clips, it seemed, didn’t really let on that there was much of a story line — that it just kind of goes on and on and on, like the Matrix 2, with no storyline — just fighting. Plus, most people do agree: sequels are hardly ever as good as the originals. And in this case, it’s true… Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest isn’t the original. But, its an awesome movie in its own right! There are a few surprises in this movie. A few characters come back from the first that you wouldn’t expect to see in the second. but… um! that’s all I’m saying. This movie is definitely a lot more violent and gory than the first one. Don’t bring the little kids to it. But, trust me — this is not a Matrix-type movie… There is an actual storyline. And a good one at that. Capt. Jack Sparrow is back as well as Elizabeth and Will, who are forced to find him and obtain his compass, or else they will face the gallows. Well, actually, Will has to find him. Elizabeth escapes, and yes… as you’ve seen in the trailers, she does dress up like a man for this movie. Making it all the more comical. (you’ll see what I mean).
The comedy was superb in this movie. Of course, it wasn’t as good as the first, but you can’t expect it to be. Yes, there were a few instances were they could’ve shortened the fighting scenes, but it was very well shot and scripted
I wish they would’ve changed a few things about the movie, but you can’t have everything. And don’t expect everything to be resolved at the end. No! There’s a cliff-hanger ending that leaves you wanting the watch the next one the moment the credits start rolling
If you like the first movie, you’ll like the second… And that’s all I’m saying
Jack Sparrow: ‘Why is the rum *always* gone?’ (he stands up and staggers) ‘Oh… That’s why.’

“Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” Movie Review
“P.O.T.C. 3″ Plot Summary
Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann must sail off the edge of the map, navigate treachery and betrayal, and make their final alliances for one last decisive battle.
At World’s End
The more I think about this movie, the more I like it. This is strange, considering my low expectations. The first film was fun, and I was very happy to see swashbuckling returning to movies, but I never really bought into the script. I wasn’t convinced that pirates were some sort of blood-bound ‘race’, and I was powerfully confused by the distance between and physical relationships of various locations. But, still good fun. The second film just kind of made me mad; I loved the ending, but it was just one example of how much it was a standard sequel: every single quirk of the first film was referenced, every single character had to return, and it HAD to be structured – nay, plotted – like Empire Strikes Back. This included re-introducing the Han Solo-Leia love story where the female lead wants the anti-hero, just to appease all the screaming Johnny Depp fans. It begged to be liked, but aside from a great score, great effects, and some very funny moments, it just came off as trite
And then we get At World’s End, which has everything you could possibly want in a pirate fantasy film: Legendary ships riddling each other with cannon fire in a whirlpool, screaming buccaneers swinging from one ship to the next, sword-fights on crow’s nests, and all that in about fifteen minutes. The rest is an admittedly convoluted story that is much more clearly plotted than the second film, while still taking breaks for letting us spend time with characters we weren’t so sure about last time, but are once again fond of. Maybe it’s Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa, or the overall simplicity of the plot, but it just worked, and I had a great time
I was legitimately surprised and concerned at what the plot did with our heroes and villains, and was very satisfied with everyone’s status in the end. I guess I wouldn’t mind seeing another Pirates movie now, but I kind of think everything that needs to be done is in this film
I can’t wrap up without mentioning the very nice abstract stuff Verbinksi and co. did with the journey to Davey Jones’ Locker. It takes guts to do really surreal stuff with a $300 million Happy Meal blockbuster, but they really did some new, interesting things with their bottomless bag of tricks
A- Curse of the Black Pearl: B+ Dead Man’s Chest: B

“Air America” Plot Summary
A young pilot finds himself recruited into a covert and corrupt CIA airlift organization operating in Vietnam War Era Laos. add synopsis
Good for some laughs.
I enjoyed Air America even though it wasn’t the most original story ever told. Mel Gibson is very good in a role that seems written for him. The rest of the cast seem like they are just collecting a paycheck. Some good action scenes spike it up a little but, it’s really only good for about one viewing.
