One of the weakest books makes for possibly the best movie in the series. Most consistent pillar to post; strong script, theme & no filler.

#140RVW - 140 character reviews
140 character review: When I started this site that’s all I did – movie reviews that could fit on Twitter. With the exception of a few short blasts, everything since 2014 has been a full-size review, and I've gone back to expand on some of the earlier reviews. If they're here, I haven't updated them yet...
#140RVW: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)
Someone clearly took producers aside & told them to get a grip. Not as fun as 1st of course, but at least they’ve got the right idea & tone.

#140RVW: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)
Better than 2nd one was the damning faint praise. I disagree. Pompous & overbearing. Not much joy to be found here. How’d they stray so far?

#140RVW: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Smash came out of nowhere. Everyone laughed at the idea of a movie based on a theme park ride & thought it would suck. Depp had other plans.

#140RVW: Harold and Maude (1971)
Finally watched. 70’s movies start so slowly. Less a movie & more a 90 minute Cat Stevens video. But still turned into lovely & unique film.
