Captain Jack is Back

It has been four years since we last saw Captain Jack Sparrow sailing off to the Fountain of Youth in his dinghy. And now, he's back.

I'm so excited. I've always enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean. And I'm looking forward to seeing the movie this weekend.

Will you be seeing it?

On Stranger Tides

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is, without a doubt, one of the most anticipated movies of the summer. Are you ready to join Captain Jack Sparrow and the rest on a voyage to the fountain of youth? Speaking of which, here are the main cast:




Also, here is the latest trailer that was released. It tells more of the story, and interestingly enough, The Black Pearl has been captured again.


Disneyland is also hosting a special preview of the movie on weekends, complete with Meet and Greets with the infamous Jack Sparrow.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides sets sail into theaters on May 20, 2011.

2010: The Year in Review

I hope you all enjoyed a great holiday, but now it's time to look to the future. It seems that at this time of the year, everyone is doing the same thing. We spend time remembering the past year, and when it is over, we find ourselves looking forward to a new year and a new start.

It has no doubt been a busy year.

Over the next week, I'd like to spend time remembering 2010. On Monday, we'll look at the year on General Hospital. On Tuesday, we'll look at the year at Disneyland. On Wednesday, I'll name my 10 Most Fascinating People of The Year (take that, Barbra Walters!), and on Thursday I'll name my Favorite things of 2010 (take that, Oprah!).

Enjoy the snow (if you have any) and enjoy your gifts. We're in for a treat this week!

You Better Watch "Entertainment Tonight" Tonight

Why?

Study the picture above. Yep, that's Captain Jack Sparrow and Penelope Cruz, from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. They will be on ET tonight for a special Pirates of the Caribbean event that you don't want to miss.

Earlier today, Disneyland hosted a Pirates fan event called "Pirates Fans First!". Fans were able to watch the trailer for the new film (in 3D, I might add) and enjoy a very cool party complete with gifts and pirate costumes. I could not go, which was really upsetting. However, I know people who did. And they are really looking forward to this film after seeing the trailer.

The rest of the country has the chance to catch it during Entertainment Tonight this evening. It's something you won't want to miss!

Toy Story 3: Still the Best

With only a few weeks left in the year, there is only one film I am interested in seeing. That film is Tron: Legacy.

But even if Tron is awesome, which looks like it will, it will not come close to THE BEST film of the year.

Toy Story 3.

Now, Toy Story 3 is not my favorite Pixar film. That would be Toy Story 2. But it is Number 3, right after the Incredibles. Who knows? It may even be better than the Incredibles, but I need to watch TS3 more to find out.

Toy Story 3 is a touching story that affect me because I too am heading off to college. I know what Andy is going through. And I have a favorite stuffed toy, named Dinosaur. And I will NEVER get rid of him after seeing Toy Story 3.

I cried after I saw Toy Story 3. All I have to say, is thank God for the clips during the credits, which made the movie much happier. Even though the ending is happy, in a way. But it's still sad.

Toy Story 3 is the Best Picture of 2010. Let's hope the Academy agrees.

Comic Con 2010: The Visionaries

Joss Whedon and JJ Abrams.

Any other discription necessary? ;)

Enjoy.

Congrats to "UP"!

We all knew it was going to win...

Up was a fantastic movie. Not only was it nominated for Best Animated film, but was also nominated for Best Film. Now that's an achievement!

Up also took home the award for Best Score. While Michael Giaccino is no doubt a brilliant composer (and one of my favorites!) I felt that Hans Zimmer should have won for Sherlock Holmes. That score was so impressive, I downloaded the entire score after the movie.

So congrats to everyone at Pixar and Disney for making this great movie! Hopefully, the Academy will be more freindly to animated films in the future. As long as the story is good, right?

Plus, Up was much better than Avatar...

Sherlock Holmes

When I first saw the trailor for Sherlock Holmes, I thought it looked interesting. To be honest, I never saw a Sherlock Holmes film at all. The closest thing to a Sherlock Holmes movie I've ever scene was House. Still, I thought it looked like a cool movie.

I didn't know much about the plot going into it. That was good, because I was not suspecting anything. Every twist and turn kept me gripped. It was an excellent movie, up there with The Dark Knight and Pirates of the Caribbean. The storyline was not only interesting, but it was enjoyble. I loved it!

The story revolves around Lord Blackword, a prominate Englishmen who like to devulge into Dark Magic. The film starts out as Holmes and Watson catch Blackwood. When the do, he is tried and sentenced to death. However, a few days later. Blackwood appears to rise from his grave and kill people.

The acting, especially by Robert Downy Jr. and Jude Law. The chemistry between them was excellent. The bromance was evident throughout the film, and these two made the movie stick out so much more.

As you can probably see, I was really impressed by this movie. Needless to say, I'm anxiously awaiting to hear news on the development of the sequel!
