Arrr! Avast ye, mateys!

Yo ho, yo ho! A pirate’s life for me!

At least if it includes the kind of adventure in “Pirates of the Caribbean,” which totally kicked butt. It ruled. The dialog was cheesy, there were a bunch of cool references to the ride (both verbal and visual) and Johnny Depp was completely whacked out as Capt. Jack Sparrow. The female lead wasn’t quite as bold and brave as the script would have us believe (she spends too much time looking unsure of herself, imo), but everything else rocked.

Even cooler: we got to see a preview for The Haunted Mansion, which has the potential to be totally cool… provided Eddie Murphy’s curse doesn’t kick into effect.

AND The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen opens tomorrow! This is a great movie week, man. Seriously.
