lol....where's the big oaf...King Kong.

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man's Chest last night. I will preface my review by telling you that I am a big Johnny Depp fan and have been for many years. As much as I love J.D.'s acting I gotta admit this sequel was disappointing to me. The first movie POC, Curse of the Black Pearl was written in an intelligent, clever, witty, romantic and adventuresome style. The second POC was, to put it bluntly, dumbed down. :grumble: Also I could have done without the cannibal scenes. Not my style of humor at all. It had too many special effects and long drawn out fight scenes. This is the kind of movie I wouldn't mind watching on a DVD so that I could fast fWD through all that swashbuckling overkill. Many of the scenes were too dark. I was prayiing for a scene with some sunshine in it about 3/4 of the way through this movie. It will probably win an Oscar for costumes or makeup or some type of special effects. The plot had too many twists and turns and I found the dialogue much harder to understand this time. And no I am NOT losing my hearing! :sweat: I know it has already broken box office records so far, so my little review here isn't meant to sway you from going to see it. This is just my take on it, that's all. See it at your own peril. :hehe: Johnny is in full Captain Jack Sparrow mode in this one. You either love what he did with that character or not. I think he took a very bland character on paper and turned him into fun-loving rascal that we all could embrace with a wink and a smile. Savvy!

last time i ate there was the one on Manchester & Main....dood after the meal talk about feeling sluggish.....the delicious low density fats in those meals weren't intended for human digestion....

food coma to the max....i could never imagine that for breakfast and trying to function after that.

No the yogurt might have soured on those Caribbean islands. :hehe: :hehe: The talking parrot that sat on the mute's shoulder did make a reapperance in this one and in one scene had a classic line of "Don't eat me, Don't eat me!" :hehe: :hehe: He must have heard about your special secret recipe Tu. :P

nice :hehe: well i hope to watch it sometime....it's the only film that has come out in recent memory that i'm remotely interested in watching. correct me if i'm wrong but this summer's blockbluster season seems sorely lacking compared to previous years?

I hope so too. Don't let my opinion that I stated above discourage you from going to a movie theatre to see POC, DM'sC. I am not much of an action packed movie fan, so I am sure that swayed my feelings a lot. Blockbusters these days seem to be geared more towards a male mentality than a female one, so I don't pay attention to what others are seeing in droves, only what movies are worth my $9.00 that I would enjoy seeing. Ooh I forgot to mention that if you do go to see POC, DM'sC be warned that it is 2-1/2 hours long. That's a long journey out on the rolling seas matey. :hehe:

yeah when i heard that it is 150 minutes long...i was somewhat taken aback...i usually don't enjoy sitting through long movies. yeah, well the drivel that comes out of the big hollywood studios leaves a lot to be desired on many levels. the last film that i saw was the budget documentary, Dave Chappelle's Block Party

They're at it AGAIN. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Zhang ZiYi will play ANOTHER Hua Mulan-like character (due late 2007)

The Weinstein Co. will remake Akira Kurosawa's classic The Seven Samurai (target release date mid 2008). The action drama tells the story of a Japanese village that hires seven individuals to protect them against marauding bandits. Ziyi Zhang is in talks to take the role of the peasant girl who dresses in men’s clothes. The rest of the cast will boast of major Pan-Asian talents.

I am just waiting for Zhang ZiYi to star as Wong Fu one of these days....she will arrive as a star in the American Movie market only when they hire her to promote Panda Express and the 3 item special with Chow Mein or Fried Rice.
