The Lone Ranger

Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski’s first collaboration was on the surprise box office success that was Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). They worked together on two subsequent sequels, Dead Men’s Chest (2006) and... 

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Despite wrapping up the numerous narrative threads in the third Pirates of the Caribbean film (2007), its massive commercial success pretty much assured another installment in this popular franchise. The only question would be who from the last film would... 

Platoon: 25th Anniversary

While Platoon (1986) was certainly not the first film about the Vietnam War, it was one of the first to focus on the average foot soldier in an honest and authentic way. Oliver Stone’s film really put you in the jungle with these guys as only someone... 

The Tourist

Not since Bruce Willis turning out to be a ghost in The Sixth Sense have I seen a film with quite as obvious a plot twist as The Tourist. In the Sixth Sense we had a film marketed on a plot twist about a boy who can see and talk to ghosts, then, in the... 

21 Jump Street: The Complete Series

If you grew up during the 1980s there’s probably a good chance you watched 21 Jump Street at some point. The popular television show ran for five seasons, from 1987 to 1991, and featured a group of streetwise twentysomething police officers that would...

Johnny Depp has always seemed like a character actor trapped in a leading man’s body. He was initially cast as a teen heart throb in the popular television show, 21 Jump Street – a role he grew uncomfortable with because he saw himself being transformed... 

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End: 2-Disc Limited Edition

Even though Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006) was a massive box office success, there was the general consensus that it was a let down in comparison to The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). There was just too much plot, most of it hopelessly...

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest

While no one predicted the phenomenonal success of the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, the success of the sequel was pretty much a slam dunk provided that the filmmakers didn’t mess around with the formula too much. They didn’t. In fact, they...
