Movie Steak

Given that the new Pirates film is due out soon we thought it might be an idea if I finally got round to checking out the 2003 film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. I did, and I was impressed. Johnny Depp makes quite an interesting pirate and of most amazing credit to the film makers, Kiera Knightly looks very attractive in the film ;).

I have been toying with the idea of becoming a pirate for several months now and I think this has finally pushed me over the edge into “yes, this is a a good idea.” I think I would make a decent pirate, I would need to get used to it at first but I think it would be cool. And it would give me a lot to blog about. I’d have to be a pirate with internet access. Other than that it is all about the retro style.

The film is one of those, yeah it’s serious but funny at the same time in that’s it’s not really a comedy but certainly an amusing mis-adventure. It’s also worth noting that the protagonist (that’s the leader character for you simpletons ;)) is on the whole an evil pirate which is quite a nice take on things. Yeah he does the right thing so it’s not pushing it that far but it’s still a refreshing change you rarely see (which is what made Firefly such a good series).

I watched the film in two halves which could have helped me get through it without really getting bored at any time but I found myself craving to watch the second half whereas on a lot of films I would probably getting slightly symtoms of bordom. It keeps the plot rolling though which keeps your attention.

So yeah, good film, watch it. Nice short conclusion I think :D.
