Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Thank you Disney....for putting together a fabulous cast and story
Bravo for a job well done. It's incredible how a story came out of a ride over at Disney world and 'Land,. Unlike Harry Potter, where people wait for the movie after reading the book, and then of course the comparisons begin. Here there is none of that! There is no book to compare it to. Just incredible people who put a story together! Johnny is yet utterly hysterical, in many of his many scenes. For this comment you have had to see the movie to understand. He has made an art of Jack Sparrow, and to see his mentor or I should say Keith Richards as his dad is a real bonus two minutes or not. We are always curious to see what makes a character what they are. Elizabeth lives up to her name Knightly at that. Will Turner is a sup rising character as well as is Little Jack. It is amazing that they brought back most of the cast from the first two movies and merged them in with a new cast. This saga has been told only as Disney can! Great Casting enjoyable scenes..Honestly I felt like I was on the ride of my life! Thanks to the cast and film crew and most of all Disney for having the courage to go on with this story out of nowhere.....and to go along with Johnny portrait of Jack. Two hard pills to swallow at first but use that Disney magic fairy dust and there you go! Perfection on the Big Screen for the whole family...yes everyone in the family can go see it! Nothing offensive here! Nothing politically correct either, just Honor and the Code! Ah Go see the movie and have a great Time! Angel Strong
Donovan's Reef (1963)
Better than Average John Wayne
Some people thought that John Ford was crazy to do such a picture with John Wayne. Where is the action? This movie is a departure for Ford and Wayne collaborations in that it plays more like a 30s screwball comedy in a scenic location that the typical Ford/Wayne picture that you've seen before (Rio Grande, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon etc). All the actors do good jobs and the script, like a 30s screwball comedy, is not likely to happen in real life but fun to watch. The movie was filmed in Hawaii and the scenery is gorgeous. The interplay between Wayne and Co-Star Elizabeth Allen ("Amelia") is reminiscent of Wayne and Maureen O'hara. Allen compares favorably to O'Hara in that she plays the strong woman who is not overshadowed by Waynes "Guns Donovan". I enjoyed Caesar Romero, who played the Governor of the island and is looking to court Amelia only after he checks her wealth in Dun and Bradstreet. Pay particular attention to Lee Marvin's "Boats Gilhooley", grab a beer, and sit back and enjoy.
