Wondering if the new director is a contributing factor...

Diretors always are.

Looks like those of us who expected Pirates to be bad have nothing to be disappointed about. According to rottentomatoes.com it scored an abysmal 34%. That's one rotten tomato!!

My wife had told my son that if he read 3 books, we would take him to the movies. At first, the wife had talked him into watching Pirates, since it was the only movie whe thought she could handle. I showed her the reviews. It took us a while to convince our son that it was better to watch Thor.

^Sorry to have to have been the bearer of bad news there Carlos. How was Thor?




In movie news -

The only thing of note today was a comment made by Vin Diesel about the next Riddick movie. According to Diesel they are really vying for a true R-rated movie this go around but was quoted as saying:

"We can start filming this summer. However, there is a catch... In order for us to make a true R-rated film, I must work for scale upfront."



So who knows...

Oh, and as you might expect Sony's got a movie in the works currently called "Kill Bin Laden" about Navy SEAL Team 6's hunt for Osama Bin Laden. Mark Boal (who directed "The Hurt Locker") is finalizing the script which had to be changed from a drama about an unsuccessful attempt to hunt the terrorist leader a decade ago, to a methodical hunt film that culminates in his death.

Sony's deal reportedly will cost them upwards of $25 million in publicity and advertising.



Like I said, Hollywood is running out of good movie ideas...

I'd rather see Shark Night 3D than spend a penny about that Sony movie:

...and that's not saying much since this looks dumb too. 

Thor was lame.  Though the hollow fire breathing giant robot thingie was very cool imo.

Thor was very thin in plot, but enjoyable in a mindless way. Pirates would have been way too mindless.

It's the 40th Anniversary of Willy Wonka!

Mark Boal (who directed "The Hurt Locker")

Kathryn Bigelow directed The Hurt Locker. Mark Boal wrote the screenplay. Great movie!

I think the one I highlighted is a better movie than the most recent Pirates of the Carribean.

Pirates? <<< It's a linkie...

Saw Pirates yesterday, I liked it.  The mermaids where cool but they didn't explain a few things that are bugging me...like the new scar on Sparrows cheek.
