Mark Goes To the Movies (So You Don't Have To)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (dir. Gore Verbinski) It goes on for freaking ever, but (mega)producer Jerry Bruckheimer has never been one to use an economical 60-second sequence where a 20-minute extravanganza will do. The story stops making sense maybe ten minutes into this (140-minute+) opus, but that's probably not why you go to see it. You go to see it because Johnny Depp is hilarious and Keira Knightly is hot and the computer graphics are great. And because it goes on for freaking ever, which is a good thing if you'd rather be inside an air conditioned theater than out in 100+-degree heat. Mark's review (stupid points): ???
