Advantages: The whole film
Disadvantages: some scenes don't have Depp in =]

...Kiera Knightley and Orlando Bloom, Pirates of the Caribbean is a film that will be watched frequently, and not left on the self to gather dust. I would also recommend the 2nd and 3rd film as they do not strech out the film or storyline, and are as much fun to watch as the first. The storyline of the film follows Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) when he appears in Port Royal, with the supposed intention of stealing a ship, this is followed by a comical ...
...Sparrows true intentions are (a must see.) Although he saves Elizabeth Swann (Knightley), the Commador's daughter, from drowning, it's not long before Sparrow is in trouble again, this time for being a branded pirate. He makes a stunning escape, until he meets William Turner (Bloom) who cuts off his escape route. Finally captured and put in jail, it seems that Port Royal is once again restored into peace. But then a ship, with black sails, starts ... Read review

Pirates Of The Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest DVD This movie is a great family action/adventure film whitch was released in july 2006. This movie was made by walt disney productions in america and is a great family film to watch. Staring lead parts inc Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley three of the best actors around.

...is caught up in another tangled web of supernatural intrigue. Although the curse of the Black Pearl has been lifted, an even more terrifying threat looms over its captain and scurvy crew: it turns out that Jack owes a blood debt to the legendary Davy Jones, Ruler of the Ocean Depths, who captains the ghostly Flying Dutchman, which no other ship can match in speed and stealth. Unless the ever-crafty Jack figures a cunning way out of this Faustian ... Read review

Advantages: awash with bucklers being swashed
Disadvantages: treasure that should remain buried

what a combination, National treasure is so dire I find it difficult to imagine how these 2 could be paired up together other than a Disney smash cash tie in. take my advice, buy POTC on its own! National treasure - Nicolas 'Francis ford coppola got me the job' cage stars in this duck as a treasure hunter following in his father/grandfathers/great-grandfathers footsteps. Tales of Masonic/knights templar treasure send him from the arctic to new York ...
...just get POTC and ditch national treasure as that should be left buried in my opinion. 2 discs, no extras, £15 on Amazon new, £11 used I had to give it poorer ratings due to the inclusion of National treasure.the effects in POTC were pretty good but stunts/action/excitement were pretty thin on the ground with national treasure not sure if this is allowed but i met a 'pirate' in Sydney in april this year who was the spitting image of Depp, here's ...

Advantages: Action packed, great extras on DVD
Disadvantages: Bit too predictable and Morgan freeman sucks.

Shooter, 2007, rating 15. I bought this film as a 3 for £20 from HMV and have only just got round to watching it. It is directed by Antoine Fuqua (Who???). Mark Wahlberg, yep, Marky Mark the rapper for all those that remember him that way, is in yet another film, he is certainly a prolific actor these days. In this film he plays Bob Lee Swagger Special Forces sniper. The opening scene sees Swagger camouflaged and waiting in some hills in Ethiopia, ...
...waiting some time, and the spotter, Donnie makes the fatal mistake of showing Swagger a photo of his girl back home, that's it, you just know he is a dead man, always happens! It's almost as predictable as the bit part college guy going into the dark room in a slasher movie. An American convey comes into view, and they are about to be ambushed by some rebel forces......Donnie starts reeling off targets, wind speeds, metres to each target, speed ... Read review
