Pirates Of The Caribbean : Dead Man's Chest, a review by KinkyCyborgPirates Of The Caribbean : Dead Man's Chest Title:Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Year: 2006 Director: Gore Verbinski Rating: PG-13 Length: 151 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Spanish: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Commentary: Dolby Digital: Mono Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars: Johnny Depp Orlando Bloom Keira Knightley Jack Davenport Bill Nighy Plot:Extras: Scene Access Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Outtakes/Bloopers My Thoughts: Took me a bit to piece things together at first as it had been some time since I had watched Curse Of The Black Pearl and you could easily tell it picked up right where the last one left off. Great action and fantastic make-up/artistry especially for Davy Jones' minions who more closely resemble crustaceous sea creatures. I made a discovery after watching this film. Johnny Depp, who seems to have a tendency to lean towards roles of utmost silliness (Jack Sparrow, Mad Hatter, Willy Wonka, Raoul Duke)... it's starting to get a bit tiresome for me as these roles are all similar in nature. The facial expressions, the lingo, the body language.... getting a bit annoying. I mean he's great in the roles but it seems to me like he's turning into Tim Burton's bitch. Keira Knightley is gorgeous but has a few embarrassing scenes where the brave, smart, athletic and aggressive persona she exudes throughout most of the movie is taken over by that of a complete ditz... i.e. the scene on the beach where she watches the three boys play swords. Looking forward to At World's End where Rush is back as Captain Barbossa and Chow-Yun Fat joins the cast. The fourth entry is apparently in production now too, sans Bloom and Knightley... one too many perhaps? KC Rating: (From KinkyCyborg's Random Reviews 2010 on January 21st, 2011) Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Tom Hanks as Thomas Schell Thomas Horn as Oskar Schell Sandra Bullock as Linda Schell Zoe Caldwell as Oskar's Grandmother Dennis Hearn as Minister Paul Klementowicz as Homeless Man Plot:Extras:
My Thoughts: I decided to watch this one today in honor of Sandra Bullock's birthday. As most of you know... I am a huge fan of hers. Though she doesn't have a huge part in this film... as most the film follows around their son. While I found this to be a very good film. It is also very slow. And I did feel my attention to go elsewhere at times. But it kept my attention for the most part. It is definitely one I think is worth checking out.My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From Weekend Movie Marathon: The Blu-ray Experience on July 26th, 2013) Angel Marathon, a review by DJ DoenaDisc 5 Epiphany Synopsis: After Angel has slept with Darla it becomes clear that he hasn't lost his soul and he has got an epiphany. It is now obvious to him which road he has gone down and why. It also becomes obvious to him that he can't go any further this way. But it will be hard to return to his friends because they will soon be dead.My Opinion: Can't Angel have normal sex like everyone else? At least he has left his warpath. And it seems that the makers of "Angel" actually don't intend to create a season enemy and to defeat him in the end. But I like that, it makes it more unpredictable. Disharmony Synopsis: Harmony (who was turned into a vampire in Sunnydale) comes to L.A., to visit Cordelia. While she is staying Cordelia gets a vision of a vampire cult that is growing in numbers.My Opinion: A very good fun episode with many moments where I had to laugh. It's good to see such an episode once in a while. Dead End Synopsis: Wolfram & Hart gives Lindsey a new human hand. But something is wrong with it. The hand has a life of its own and Lindsey tries to find out where this hand came from. During his investigation he runs across Angel.My Opinion: Lindsey seems to leave L.A.. Let's see if this is permanent, I am not yet willing to believe that. I also wouldn't like it because I think he is a good enemy. Belonging Synopsis: After Cordelia got a vision she accidentally opens a portal and pulls a demon into our dimension. But this demon is a cousin of Lorne's. He helps the three to hunt down another demon that came through a similar portal. Gunn on the other hand has to pay his last respects to a good friend.My Opinion: It's hard to have to choose between two groups, I know the feeling and it's a total lose-lose situation. But now I have to continue watching, I want to know where Cordelia went. (From Angel Marathon on February 17th, 2008) |
