The Film Geek Blog: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
http://willdlee.blogspot.com/2011/05/pirates-of-caribbean-on-stranger-tides.html
The Film Geek Blog. Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Dir Rob Marshall (2011). Does this face look like it's been to the Fountain of Youth? Depends on the light.". A two and a half movie based on a ride at Disneyland seemed like an iffy proposition back in 2003. The world wasn't exactly lit on fire by The Country Bears. Or The Haunted Mansion. Yet, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. And At Worlds End.

The Film Geek Blog: Mortdecai

The Film Geek Blog. Monday, May 25, 2015. Dir David Koepp (2015). Oh, Johnny Depp, what have you done? There’s no doubting that Johnny Depp is an iconoclastic performer. He was always a well-respected actor who finally shot into the upper stratosphere of superstardom after. Pirates of the Caribbean. Ever since the emergence of Jack Sparrow, Depp’s track record has been rather iffy. His high-profile roles in. Depp doesn’t do himself any favors with yet another overly mannered performance in. Koepp clearly...

The Film Geek Blog: Munich

The Film Geek Blog. Tuesday, March 3, 2015. Dir Steven Spielberg (2005). It goes without saying that Steven Spielberg is a filmmaker in a league of his own. His films have become essential components of our pop culture lexicon. For better or worse, the Hollywood blockbuster exists because of Spielberg and his comrade, George Lucas. Munich. Lightly mixes Spielberg's slam, bang, blockbuster techniques with the schmaltzy pap that he is, oftentimes, criticized for to create a powerfully, dramatic affair.

The Film Geek Blog: Vice

The Film Geek Blog. Thursday, March 26, 2015. Dir Bryan A. Miller (2015). Bruce Willis has a pretty good track record when it comes to science fiction. 12 Monkeys. Have all been great films, but 2009's Surrogates. Was instantly forgettable. Vice. Won't exactly be a bright spot on Willis's resume or anyone else's. This is direct-to-video dreck that remorselessly rips off Westworld. There's a little bit of Total Recall. Then prepare for disappointment. This film is way more concerned with gunfights and...

http://willdlee.blogspot.com/2012/05/dark-shadows.html
The Film Geek Blog. Thursday, May 17, 2012. Dir Tim Burton (2012). Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are almost synonymous with each other. Their partnership as actor and director have resulted in great films like Edward Scissorhands. Recently, Depp and Burton's efforts have been hit and miss. While I enjoyed Corpse Bride. Their version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Left much to be desired and lacked the charms of the Gene Wilder film. Alice in Wonderland. Features visually stunning costumes and product...

http://willdlee.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-lone-ranger.html
The Film Geek Blog. Saturday, August 31, 2013. Dir Gore Verbinski (2013). Nobody expected Pirates of the Caribbean. To be a hit. It was a movie based on a ride at Disneyland. The star, Johnny Depp, was a respected actor, but not a box office draw. Plus, the last pirate movie to hit screens was the abysmal Cutthroat Island. A notorious flop that hastened the demise of Carolco, the production company responsible for Terminator 2. They put the Pirates. A live-action film released in 1981 to capitalize on th...
