Drunk Johnny Part 3

This one, this one is my favorite out of all of them. Let my explain, this one ends the trilogy, this one continues off from the second movie and does it excellently. This one has the most epic battle out of all the movies, this one you see the chacters at their best, you see them at their peak, you see them battle for their lives. You see Keith Richards in this one, wait what? Yes you read that correctly, Keith Richards is in this one and he plays as Captain Jack Sparrow's Father, of course he does. Cause Johnny Depp is playing a drunk verison of pirate Keith Richard's. Anyways the plot:

Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) join forces with Capt. Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) to free Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones' locker. Meanwhile, the crew of the Flying Dutchman ghost ship wreaks havoc on the Seven Seas. The friends must navigate dangerous waters to confront Chinese pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat) and, ultimately, they must choose sides in a battle where
in the pirate life hangs in the balance.

At World's End is the pefect title for a perfect trilogy and should of ending with this one, but nope had to make two more after this one.

Jane Green writes an emotionally packed book, that makes you laugh and cry and want to smack someone sometimes.

Emily is a teenager and her father is remarried. She 'hates' her step-mother, Andi. Her sister, Sophia, adores her. And, of course, her father, Ethan loves her. Her mother is a drunk and really pays no attention to her daughters, and all Emily does is act out.

Then something happens that turns everyone's life upside down and inside out.

This is a story that spans a journey of nearly 7 years. And in that time, we see how these characters grow and develop into individuals and as a family.

Wayne and Mitchum in a great western

A wandering gun for hire comes to the aid of his old friend, now a drunk local sheriff, when some bad men come into town and try and swindle a local family from their ranch's water. Along the way, he picks up a young knife-wielding sidekick to aid him in his quest.

One of the better Wayne westerns I have watched recently. Good action scenes, great acting and an interesting coherent story make this very memorable.

Great to see Wayne alongside Mitchum as well as a very young James Caan and Ed Asner.

Highly recommended.

Awix (3310 KP) rated The Holy Mountain (Der Heilige Berg) (1926) in Movies

Mountainous melodrama couples a rather corny, obscurely allegorical plot to some stunning visuals to reasonably engaging effect. A dancer (Riefenstahl) is drawn to the Alps, where she falls in love with an engineer; confusion and jealousy lead to jeopardy, stoic heroism, and ultimately tragedy.

I found the dramatic elements of the film to be rather hard going, and Riefenstahl's dancing, rather than evoking desire, just reminded me of a drunk woman trying to start a fight at a wedding reception. However, there are some fantastic compositions and the mountains still look awesome nearly a century on; the film may feel a bit pretentious but its imagery remains powerful.
