Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: Review

Gore Verbinski's more, more, more sequel to the surprise hit of summer 2003 picks up not long after the first film ended, though it's been long enough for fresh-faced Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), spunky daughter of Port Royal governor Weatherby Swann (Jonathan Pryce), and blacksmith-turned-adventurer Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) to progress from swooningly romantic first kiss to wedding day. Unfortunately, the happy occasion is disrupted by the arrival of nefarious Lord ... read more

Assuming that you've seen Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End – and why would you be asking otherwise? – you know it sets up the possibility that Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and who knows who else will embark on a quest for the fountain of youth.

Pirates, '70s Hottie P.J. Soles, Bruce Campbell and More Questions! | Ask FlickChick | 5/31/2007
Questions about motion capture animation -- is it cheating? -- John Wayne, P.J. Soles and more. Send your movie questions to FlickChick.See Maitland McDonagh and Ken Fox review this week's new flicks in Movie Talk!Question: I've been reading a lot about the behind-the-scenes technology used to created the tentacle-faced Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and keep seeing the term "motion capture." But none of the articles have explained how it's different from old-fashioned rotoscoping. Can you enlighten me, oh FlickChick? -- BradFlickChick: The difference is computers.

How did 2006's film fare fare compared to the year before?

Before you crow, "Well, weren't ticket prices up at least five percent?" the Hollywood Reporter points out that the number of actual tickets sold — 1.44 billion — was up nearly three percent.Joining POTC 2 ($423.3 million) in this year's elite $200 mil-plus club were Cars ($244.1 mil), X-Men: The Last Stand ($234.4 mil), The Da Vinci Code ($217.5 mil) and Superman Returns ($200.1 mil). read more
