Review: “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” Starring Johnny Depp, Penélope Cruz
It has been almost eight years since we were introduced to the most recognizable swashbucklers of our time in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. 2003’s ‘Curse of the Black Pearl’ was a smash hit, and in 2006 and 2007 ‘Dead Man’s Chest” and ‘At World’s End’ took us on a fun ride if nothing […]

Did You Know? – “Tron: Legacy”
After months of a heavy onslaught of marketing, Tron: Legacy hits theaters this Friday 28 years after the original graced the big screen.

DVD Review – “Waking Sleeping Beauty”
I briefly talked about Waking Sleeping Beauty last week in my “DVD Picks of the Week” so I don’t want to reiterate everything I said before. But the main point is that I love Disney musicals, and as soon as I saw the trailer I was dying to see it. After getting a chance to […]
