Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead men tell no tales

Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 2 hours, 9 minutes
Release Date: May 26, 2017
Directors: Joachim Ronning, Espen Sandberg
Starring: Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem, Geoffrey Rush


      In this (so far) last installment of the Pirates Franchise, Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) searches for the trident of Poseidon while being pursed by an undead pirate and his crew. I think this is a rather bland installment of the franchise because, I had no emotional reaction to the film. Even though, I usually don't react to movies that I watch at home very often, and this is no exception. Parents, I'd click here to go to the IMDB parents guide, before showing this film to your kids.

Final Grade:
C

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

    Like I said in my review for "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown," I believe that this is the time of year for Charlie Brown. In "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," Charlie's friends "invite" themselves over to his home for a "thanksgiving dinner." Not knowing what to do, He along with Linus and Snoopy, prepare a thanksgiving dinner that consisted of Toast, Popcorn, Pretzel Sticks, and Candy. In the end, he invites his friends to join him and his family at his grandma's for a real thanksgiving dinner. This half-hour special shows that thanksgiving isn't an American holiday that's just turkey and pumpkin pie, it's really about what your thankful for!

Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 2 hours 16 minutes
Release Date: May 20, 2011
Director: Rob Marshall
Starring: Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane


     In the fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Jack Sparrow (Depp) and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth. Meanwhile, Blackbeard (McShane) and his daughter (Cruz) are after it too. Although it's not as good as At world's end, it's just not the best in the series. Parents, there is one scene in this film that you probably don't want your little ones to see. Even though this is a Disney flick, be cautious.

Rated: PG-13
Runtims: 2 hours 49 minutes

       In this 3rd installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise, Captain Barbossa, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann set sail to rescue Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' locker, and make their final alliances for one last decisive battle. Although it's not the best in the series, but it's probably the longest. Parents, despite the fact that this is a Disney film, it is however rated PG-13 for violence. So, unless your into these movies, You probably don't wanna show this film to your little ones.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Rated: PG-13
Release Date: July 7, 2006
Runtime: 2 hours 31 minutes
Director: Gore Verbinski
Starring: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Kiera Knightly, Bill Nighy

     In this sequel to Curse of the black pearl, (Captain) Jack Sparrow (Depp) must avoid enslaving himself to Davy Jones, by racing to recover his heart. Other friends and foes, do so as well. I think that this is a good second installment of the Pirates series. It has lots of action, and a rather sad cliffhanger ending. Parents, despite the fact that this movie was produced by Disney, but the Pirates of the Caribbean films are rated PG-13. So, I'd click here, before showing this film to your kids.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 2 hours 23 minutes
Release Date: July 9, 2003
Director: Gore Verbinski
Starring: Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley


     To kick off my Pirates marathon, I'm going to start off with Curse of the Black Pearl. In this one, A blacksmith named Will Turner (Bloom), teams up with an eccentric pirates named (Captain) Jack Sparrow (Depp), to save his true love, the governor's daughter (Knightley), from one of Sparrow's former, undead pirate allies.


   When this movie first came out, I had zero interest in it. Even though it was produced by Disney, still I did not want to see it. It wasn't until I was in the 8th grade, I appreciated these films a little more. But now, Even though I'm still not a hard-core fan, but as I write this review, I have more interest in this series more that I did back in '03. Parents, Even though This is a Disney film, It is rated PG-13. So, I strongly encourage you to review this film before showing it to your little ones.

Final Grade:
