... and so, the next day, I did! I've seen this film a LOT - including twice at the cinema when it was released (once in LA, when we also got to see all the original props. Result!). And yes, I still love it. Repeated viewings mean I know the story back-to-front (Jack Sparrow running from the British navy, lots of convoluted back-stabbing, mutiny, and zombies for those who don't know), but this doesn't spoil my enjoyment of it.
One of my favourite movies of the past 10 years due to its madcap pace, brilliant storyline and fun outlook on life. Now I just need to watch Pirates 2 and 3 again to remind myself of the complete story...
Rating: 5 out of 5
Watching films is one of my favourite hobbies. Often the films I watch aren't the biggest, or newest, films of the moment - but smaller independent movies, things on late night TV, or simply films I missed first time around. Not to say that the latest cinema releases don't get a look-in: my tastes are pretty diverse and I'll give almost any film a chance! This blog aims to reflect something of that diversity, reviewing as many of the films that I've watched since November 2008 as possible.

About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
