Pirates....ARRGGH!

The Good: The Five Buck Club allows me to see any movie that's been out for 2 weeks for only $5. What are movie ticket prices up to now? I have no idea since I paid $5 for a 9:40 showing.

The Bad: Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest isn't a good movie. It isn't a bad movie, but at best it is an okay film. The main problem is it is too long. The 150 minute running time isn't the problem per se. The film simply dragged in too many spots. It had a scatter-shot approach to the story. A judicious 30-40 minute edit would help focus the film. "Let's just give the audience EVERYTHING including the kitchen sink" isn't a good way to make a film.
