Loosely inspired by the time-honored Disney theme-park ride, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL is a swashbuckling high-seas tale directed by Gore Verbinski. When Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), an eccentric rogue, arrives at Port Royal, he barely avoids going down with his ship. Soon enough, he’s in the market for a new one, but not before he saves the life of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the beautiful daughter of the governor (Jonathan Pryce). This act of bravery sets into motion a sweeping adventure involving Elizabeth’s childhood friend, blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom); a mysterious medallion; and a legendary pirate ship, the Black Pearl. The Pearl’s mottled Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) wants Elizabeth’s doubloon necklace, and when she’s kidnapped by the ol’ salty dog and his crew, Sparrow and young Will must rescue her and find out the truth behind the ship’s curse. Verbinski’s PIRATES is a welcome throwback to Hollywood offerings of yesteryear, filled with rope-swinging heroes, crusty villains, treasure hoards, swift swordplay, and even wittier wordplay. Screenwriters Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott have crafted one of the most clever action-movie scripts in many moons, and this gives the filmmakers and cast (especially Depp) plenty of room to cut loose. Although the skeletal pirates may be a bit frightening for small children, there’s lots of humor to temper the scary moments, making PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL a nearly flawless fun film.

Movie description
Driving through the American Southwest along Route 66, lone traveler Sarah (Clare Kramer, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) stops into a rundown roadside diner to ride out a sudden thunderstorm. Once an eerie tourist draw for its odd collection of mummified remains and taxidermied animals, the dilapidated café is run by an eccentric family headed by mentally unhinged matriarch Let (Betty Buckley, EIGHT IS ENOUGH), who immediately begins to terrorize the captive Sarah with the help of her demented brood Wyatte (Brad Renfro), Jesse (Johnathan Schaech), Billie (Lori Heuring), and Carol Ann (Busy Philipps). But all is not as it seems, as their captive victim has some menacing secrets of her own. Written and directed by J.S. Cardone (THE SLAYER, A CLIMATE FOR KILLING) from his own stage play, THE MUMMY AN’ THE ARMADILLO is another of the cult filmmaker’s patented thrill rides of atmospheric terror.

Movie description
Sam Raimi’s follow-up to SPIDER-MAN finds Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) struggling to balance his everyday life with his alter ego as the web-slinging superhero. Still carrying the burden of keeping his crime-fighting identity from those closest to him–including his longtime love Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), his best friend Harry Osborn (James Franco), and his doting Aunt May (Rosemary Harris)–Parker must also face off against a dangerous new menace, Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), a scientist driven mad by experiments involving powerful mechanical arms. When the deranged Octavius (AKA Doc Ock) forms an alliance with the vengeful Osborn, who blames Spider-Man for the death of his father, the wall-crawling hero is in for his biggest battle yet. With SPIDER-MAN 2, Raimi retains–and improves on–all of the elements that made the first film so good, including an excellent story (crafted, in part, by acclaimed novelist Michael Chabon), tight pacing, and stunning special effects. Parker’s internal conflicts are even greater than before, and Maguire adds emotional depth to every scene. Returning actors Dunst, Franco, Harris, and J.K. Simmons (once again portraying Parker’s tough-talking boss, J. Jonah Jameson) are all pitch-perfect in their roles, and, as the once-noble Octavius, Molina is remarkable, relishing his villainous lines, while giving the character a surprisingly vulnerable side. Throughout the movie, Raimi expertly balances drama and humor with dynamic action sequences, making SPIDER-MAN 2 feel more like a continuation of the original tale rather than an obligatory sequel. For a Hollywood movie, that’s a real feat.
