Paperaxle Reviews a Review of "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides"


This time kids, we're going to do something a little bit different. I'll admit, I didn't see this movie earlier this week, but my wife did. So I had her give me her review, and I'll review that review so I can give you a review of this movie. And quit complaining... as Elwood Blues used to say... "Whaddya want for nothing? A rrrrubbber biscuit?"

Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is on a mission to find the lost Fountain of Youth. His previous ship, the Black Pearl, has been destroyed on a previous movie (I don't know which one, I haven't seen the last two installments and didn't like the first one), so he has to find a new ship to launch his journey. Jack's father, Captain Teague (Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones) warns Jack not to make the attempt to find the Fountain.

Jack runs into Angelica (Penelope Cruz), a former girlfriend, who is now a pirate and the daughter of Blackbeard (who had previously destroyed the Black Pearl), and is taken aboard Angelica's ship to find the Fountain.

My wife was telling me all this, and mentioned something about mermaids and voodoo dolls, and I was trying to keep my eyes open, but that's all I can remember. I do know that if you love these movies, this one is the best installment since the first movie, and you'll want to stay for a post-credit scene that sets up the next movie. Pam is giving this 137 minute movie three peg-legs and a parrot.

Sorry guys, I'll try to do better for the six or seven of you that follow this blog. This weekend I have tickets for a movie that I had to sign an agreement not to reveal, which means I can't review it until October or face the wrath of the studio that puts out this movie:

But don't worry, I'll be back next week with reviews of "Hangover 2" and "Attack the Block", and the week after that will be "X-Men: First Class" which I already have my screener passes for.
