I will see one or both films this weekend. Have you seen the trailer for Pirates?
It looks good. I didn't really love the previous installments, but I cannot resist such a big hit.
The other movie I might see is Scenes of a Sexual Nature. The movie opened in November in the UK but it is only now being released in North America (the DVD already hit the streets in the UK).
In Scene, Ewan McGregor goes gay -- watch a little clip in which Ewan discusses the possibility of adopting a child with his man, played by Douglas Hodge:
What are you going to watch this weekend?
Hey Simon, I think Ewan went gay before: in Velvet Goldmine -- I am yet to watch that movie (there's a kiss btw Ewan and Jonathan Rhys Meyers!)

Thanks, Augusto, for the good news!
Even the banner's changed according to the ever so good-looking #1! Congrats!
I wish you the best, dear friend!

I'm always a sucker for a blockbuster and they USUALLY deliver on some level. But there is always an exception... Pirates 3 is really really really bad. If you haven't seen the first 2 then I would give it a miss.
Watching this trainwreck trilogy has been similar to watching your once fav sitcom turn into a sad shadow of its former self. The same jokes just don't get the same laughs anymore. Why? Because its more of the same!
It was cute and fun when Pirates 1 was released, but that was like 6 years ago!
Incidentally, I read the plot is really basic, but the plot holes must be bigger than Texas, coz I couldn't tell what the f was going on.

I'd rather chip a tooth than have to sit through another Pirates Of The Carribean. This weekend, I'm watching more episodes of Planet Earth.
