"Pirates Of The Caribbean Reviewed - Ok it's a bit late lol:S"

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.

Midnight? No, I've been civil all day, yesterday, many many times before...

Any old conversation? No, about the subject matter we've already been discussing.

So that I can prove that I can be civil? No, because I am being civil already and there is no proof needed. That's why EB could notice it.

Well if we discussed matters civilly it wouldn't, and that's what I've been trying to do for ages. In fact, since I first saw you here.


> I am tired of arguing with you.

Which is why I'm proposing we don't argue.

Come on, you're deliberately being stubborn now.

Ooh, controversial.

There is fighting. But not the good kind with jelly and breasts.

Me? Up to? Well, there's this bloke called Cubist...

No, I wouldn't. In reality, I'm in college. I am stimulated by philosophy, psychology and occasionally English. And bored stiff by Biology.

How's your policey training? Or have you finished it all?

*steps in*

What's going on here, then? I've been away too long - give me a brief synopsis of the current discussion and I'll launch an enquiry, a bit like Hutton. Except I won't rule blatantly in favour of one of you.

Forget all that. Just tell me what's going on around here...

So what Blank? You're ready for a civil conversation now? At midnight you want me to just strike up any old conversation so you can prove that you are willing to be civil to me? Well apart from the fact I'm not a great conversationalist it'll most definitely end up with a clash of opinions with each of us trying to prove our view is correct despite the fact that an opinion is an opinion and can therefore never be right or wrong as it is our own individual view which we are entitle to. I am tired of arguing with you.
