Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean - On Stranger Tides


I have wanted to see this movie for several weeks, but after over two hours at the cinema I wish I had waited for the DVD release.  I went to the regular version (not 3D) so it is possible that many really cool special effects were missed, but I doubt they were magical enough to pull this movie into the must see category (sorry Disney).

Captain Jack Sparrow (portrayed by Johnny Depp) is always GENIUS and Sparrow remains one of my favorite iconic movie characters. Amazing since I have only really LOVED the first movie in the series (although this installment IS better than installment number two & three).

I would recommend you find another summer blockbuster to pay the big bucks for save this movie for Date-Night-In spend the extra cash on a bottle rum!!

Something to Ponder...............................


One of the Healthy Living Blogs I follow is THE FITNESSISTA.  She is currently featured on Fitness Magazine - The FitStop.  She lists the following as her Fitness Mantra:

“Change creates change.” You can’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Anything you can do to switch up your workout routine or eating habits will keep the body from kicking into cruise control. Change something and change will follow.

Movie Reivew: Bridesmaids

"Excuse me, can I have a glass of alcohol"? - Jenna

Anyone who has known me more than a minute knows - I hate dislike weddings.  I thought this movie would provide easy material for my beloved sport of bashing the much hyped saccharin filled fairytale Armageddon known as a wedding.
  Wrong again!!

This movie is a REALLY funny caricature of potential wedding woes.  I though it was smart, honest and daring.  So authentic that it gives voice to the silent mantra of Maids of Dis-Honor everywhere:
"Are you F***ING kidding me"? 

Megan - the soon to be sister in law (played by Melissa McCarthy- best know as Sookie from the Gilmore Girls) is brilliant.  And I always support the gratuitous inclusion of an Irishman in a movie (Rhodes played by Chris O'Dowd from County Roscommon Ireland). 
ALERT : Girls - it's the accent - don't fall for it.

 A little sharper editing would have made the movie even better - there were a few unnecessary characters and a food poisoning storyline put in to appease the poor fellas dragged to this chic-flick. The bottom line is: grab some girlfriends and go!!

  Four out of Five Stars!!
