Avast ye mateys, thar be cliffhangers ahead!

Well Nancy and I went to the movies Saturday and took a thrilling ride into the world envisioned by those powerhouses of Walt Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer. Once again we followed the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow and his prescious ship The Black Pearl.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest picks up shortly after the completion of the first movie. Once again Captain Jack has managed to get himself into alot of trouble and sucks all those around him into the depth with him.

I must warn you that this movie has more double crosses than a case of Dos Equis. Granted this isn’t a “thinking movie”. It is definitely a Jerry Bruckheimer film. If you liked the first movie you’ll definitely enjoy this one.

I don’t want to give anything away since I feel not knowing anything helps heighten the enjoyment of this flick.

Keep an eye out for the subtle and not-so-subtle nods to the Disney attraction that inspired this successful movie franchise.

As my title suggests, this movie ends with a cliffhanger. Much like the Lord of the Rings movies, this movie is intended to be told over more than one film. So there is obviously going to be ongoing adventures of this merry band of pirates and I cannot wait till next summer to find out how things end up.

The soundtrack is also excellent. I bought the first soundtrack and it quickly became part of my morning routine. It’s lively beats and thundering tones always got me ready to take on the day. I bought the new soundtrack today and Nancy has already stated that is definitely different but along the same lines as the first one. I’m sure I’ll be expanding my morning repetoir of music to amp up the brain.

So if you decide to go see this movie, sit back and enjoy the ride. But make sure you keep an eye and firm grip on your rum :) And never forget that “Dead men tell no tales”
