I love pirate adventure and Curse of the Black Pearl seemed to have it for the first half hour or so... but as usual, Bruckheimer's bloated action sequences with little substance or credibility quickly became exhausting. Johnny Depp's performance is stand out. The rest of the cast is outshined by their costumes and makeup(Geoffrey Rush by his teeth). I could talk about the basic lack of interest created by expositions and explanations given for every motive... but I do enjoy pirates and the 18th century fare so I give it a 5/10.

(1993)
One of my favorites...

I rented this movie a few years ago, and fell in love with it. Peter Greene steps out of his normal "tough, bad guy" Hollywood roles to play a sensitive father handicapped by schizophrenia.He is recently released from a hospital and reuniting with his daughter becomes his main focus.Unfortunately, we soon learn that its hard for him to focus as sweet hope soon turns tragic. All he wants is to be a good father, something his ailment makes him incapable of. I love the way the director visualizes the schizophrenic moments. If you are looking for something off the beaten path I highly recommend it. 10/10stars

28days later takes me back to the way Horror/Thrillers used to be made. Unexplained events make the viewer use his/her imagination as to why things are the way they are. If you can except these conditions the movie will be terribly absorbing. Excellent use of the raging "zombies", As a friend said... I'm glad the plot of the story did'nt involve leading a bunch of zombies into a building and blowing it up!" Great suspense and gripping action. Also som good emotional scenes about what it is or "means" to be a part of the Human experience.Loved it! 9/10
