Yarrrr!

Last night...

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN!

Johnny Depp is SO HOT! Especially with all the eye-makeup. And that feminine thing he had going on? WOW.
But really, I liked his acting but I really wasn't sure of the rest of the movie. They just switched between drama and comedy and horror so often it was hard to take it seriously. Yeah, sure it was a redesign of a Disney ride but it had serious potential for Depp to be badass and go off and destroy stuff. I think I may have liked it better with that but it was pretty good as is. The effects of the pirates moving in and out of the moonlight was top notch. When Depp jumped off of that rock and the effect followed him perfectly I was quite impressed. Some of the scenes were obviously computer generated (we're not quite at good POV-RAY quality yet - Yes, that's a computer generated image) like all of the pirates on deck but when they moved in and out of the moon light in the caves it looked pretty convincing (only because it's hard to get lighting wrong when you're in the dark and moonlight is STRAIGHT DOWN).

Anyway, fight scenes were hot. The Orly/Depp fight was really good plus it's Orly AND Depp. Do you get much hotter than that? Camera work was good. Nothing really special.

And that's about it. If you have 8.50 to spend, go see it. It's got hot guys in it.
