Review:

The Fountain of Youth, the legendary spring that holds eternal life, is the destination in this latest installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. You may remember that Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) stole Barbosa’s map at the end of the third movie and has presumably been looking for the fountain since. But he’s not the only one. The Spanish, Captain Barbosa (Geoffrey Rush) who now works for the English Crown and Blackbeard (Ian McShane), the most feared pirate ever are all on a quest. But only one man really knows where it is and that is Sparrow, and when he runs into the beautiful and cunning Angelica (Penelope Cruz) he is shanghaied to lead her to it. The question is who will be able to get through mermaid waters, procure the proper requirements, and drink from the waters? Read more…

Review:

After Paul (Rainn Wilson) loses his wife and he and his son TJ (Devin Brochu) are grieving her death, a strange guy named Hesher (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) takes up refuge in their garage. He is long haired, tattooed and a wild child with a penchant for loud music and porn. But still they cannot see throwing him out, even though he wasn’t even invited. Why? Because this odd stranger may be just the angel they need to help them get their lives back together. Read more…

Review:

Sabrina (Paula Patton) and Jason Taylor (Laz Alonso), despite the differences in their financial stability and their upbringing, fall in love and want to get married. Seems easy enough, but because their decision is quick even though they’d been dating for five months, their families have not met their new in-laws. And so at their rehearsal is when the fireworks begin when Sabrina’s mom (Angela Bassett) who is very classy and rich meets the down-to-earth and sassy mother of Jason (Loretta Devine). Their fighting over where to have the wedding starts a whole slew of battles which makes the couple wonder if getting hitched is even the right thing to do. The whole thing is proving to also be a quite distressing assignment for wedding planner Amy (Julie Bowen from Modern Family), who is just trying to get through it all. Read more…
