Pirates of the Carribean Series

Posted in Movies at 7:45 am by earl

First off, I would just like to give Carmike Cinemas a round of applause for having such a great theater, great availability of tickets, their seat layout, and how they use the DLP system to play their movies. I went and watched both 2 and 3 at thheir theaters, and it waas truly beautiful. (I could see the pores on Keira Knightly’s face-nice.) My hat goes off to you.

 

Pirates of the Carribean:Curse of the Black Pearl-(Grade:A) This is like one of those movies you just like to watch over and over. The story follows Captain Jack Sparrow as he trys to rescue his ship from the cunning Captain Barbossa. The zombie visuals are very cool and the action sequences are epic. I really did like this one, but the second one was really what got me into the series. 

 

Pirates of the Carribean:Dead Man’s Chest-(Grade:A-) This one was really more of a cliffhanger to me, but yet they still managed to progress the storyline and introduce new, crucial characters like it was the third one. This time Captain Jack is having to settle his debt with Davy Jones that he owes from bringing him and the Black Pearl back. Throughout the story everyone is trying to get their hands on this chest, with the redeeming soon-to-be Admiral Norrington winning out, leading up to the decisive battle in #3.

 

 Pirates of the Carribean:At World’s End-(Grade:A+) This is by-far the best in the series. This one delivered the blend of comedy, action, and romance that I hav always wanted it to. This time the crew start out going off to Davy Jones’ Locker, which turns out to be just a huge desert, in order to rescue Captain Jack so they can finally take down the East India Trading Company. Soon there is a meeting of the 9 Pirate Lords, a meeting with Jack’s dad, and a mind-blowing battle. This is why I watch the series! I am extremely looking forward to the next one! Yes Silv, there will be a new one, that is not just a “good ending”. Keira Knightly could have been fibbing in order to keep the secret! It’s obvious they’ll make the next one-Fountain of Youth!

Game of the Week:May 20-26

Posted in Video Games at 7:28 am by earl

Here we go again. It seems that with every summer blockbuster comes along with it a mediocre game that had such great possiblity-Spiderman 3, Pirates 3, Shrek 3. Strike that last one. If only game developers would put more thought into their games and inprove on the tiny little things that they all stumble on-camera, boring combat, repetitivity, etc.. With the dissapointing releases like Dawn of Mana, Pirates, and more, with another release of a Naruto game, this just hasn’t been a good week for video games. Therefore I must once again not give out Game of the Week this week due to lack of game quality. But don’t worry gamers! There is hope on the horizon! Next week a slew of possibly good games are coming out, like Halo 2 (PC), Mario Party 8, Forza Motorsport 2, and more!
