Gotta love them Pirates

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2006)

I have to start off by saying this... It NEVER crossed my mind to even see these films. That is until I visited my daughters in Valdosta, Ga. I wanted to do some quality time things with them and they both suggested going to a movie. My ex suggested Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. I hadn't seen the first one, so we went and bought Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. We all watched it that night over pizza.... needless to say I had made a mistake as to not even THINK of watching these films. I was riveted by the visual effects and the action and acting. BTW... way to go Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley... an Oscar worthy nod to all of you! I laughed and cried and waved my hand to my mouth in surprise and awe at the way this film 'epic' splayed across the screen. I was hooked from the word "GO." It was Pirate Dreams all night long! The next day we went to see the next film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Again I was riveted! The action, acting and, well the visual effects got even better than the last! I do have to say that the humor in the second film rammed a steel rod right up my funny bone! Another great film indeed! I suggest these films as a great family outing!
