I know it's a bit late but I wrote one for Ciao and thought I'd also post it on here as a GAD attempt only to find they don't sell that particular DVD. Hmph. Ack well I still thought I'd post it here for you guys to view. Enjoy:
Pirates Of The Carribean
------------------------
Don't you just love it when you're walking through you're local HMV and find a gem of a DVD in their half price sale? You know what I mean, a film like Gattaca or Top Gun. Well Pirates Of The Caribbean may not be as innovative as Gattaca or emotional as Top Gun but this is definitely a modern day masterpiece that you definitely wont regret paying full price for.
By the director of the popular horror film, The Ring, Gore Verbinski has delivered a spectacular film with a cast that some directors can only dream of. The up and coming A-List elf Orlando Bloom delivers a surprisingly good performance as the dashing young Will Turner, the dazzling Keira Knightley who plays the perfect love interest and Cap'n Jack Sparrow himself, Johnny Depp.
Mr. Depp delivers a stunning performance after a fair few years out off the movie making game in his come back film, and what a come back it is. His fabulously camp performance as the comical yet skilled pirate of the seven seas is one that simply does not disappoint. His cheeky little comments provide well-needed light relief in this otherwise generic pirate movie.
"Welcome to the Caribbean love!" Says the apathetic scally wag in an attempt to get Keira to loosen up and drink some Rum. Just like a real pirate. It's grade A material I'll tell you that.
Now, I'm not saying it wouldn't be a good film without him only that without Cap'n Jack this film would have far too much doom and gloom for your average viewer, which, in itself can be comical.
The plot itself is a solid one typical of the genre and as you would have guessed from the 12 certificate it's a bit darker than usual for a Disney film. The CG for example allows us to see the skeleton remains of a crew of the damned. Probably not a good idea to play the lenient parent with this one and show it to your kids. I'm 16 and still jumped out of my seat the first time I saw one of them!
However this is not about me looking like a jumping fool in the cinema. This is a list of my opinions; you may not like them; you may not agree with them but don't argue! "Do you think it wise to cross blades with a pirate” I don’t! So go and buy a copy from the shops or plunder your mates house and take his for a stunning adventure on the high seas.

Goatboy + leather elbow pads? I don't think so.
I guess we could all use a late night chill. It gets you ready for the long night ahead. Il take a breather in he for a wee one.

That's teaching for you.

Cubist, we already have conversation going in this thread.
But a conversation is a two way thing, not a question and answer session. It's an active process, not passive. I've already made quite a lot of posts that you haven't responded to, so I'd appreciate it if you could read those. I could quote myself to bring it up again if you like, just say the word.

Yeah, Goaty is not here much anymore.
Pity, I miss the loudmouth in a funny way. Bless him.

That comment was aimed at English Bloke, who asked what I was up to (unless I just misread what he put and made a stupid error just then...). I responded by asking him how his stuff was going. Looks like I'm behind the times though. He's now "out there" and "dealing" with "people".

Fine start up a conveersation then and I'll answer anything you say as civilly as possible. I have nothing to say considering I am just sitting here doing nothing.

My police training? I haven't had any! What makes you think I've been training to be a "cop"?
I've been away for a while, that's all. My new job doesn't allow me to get on the forums during working hours either - I'm simply too damn busy all the time.
I've noticed Bell's still around with his absurd opinions. It's like I was never gone, although I haven't noticed the goat around. Last i heard he'd quit his job to become a teacher.
