Pirates

Did you ever buy a DVD thinking it was one thing and it turned out to be another? I was in my Pirates of the Caribbean frenzy when I saw this one. I thought hot babes and pirates. Cool. After I popped it into the player, I reaslized it was an adult version of a pirate movie. Oh dear. Well I bought it so I’ll watch and see if it was any better than some of the usual adult fare. I found myself liking it despite the awkward transitions, periodic lame dialogue and anomalous set design. I was particularly taken with the comedic performance of Evan Stone as Capt. Edward Reynolds along with the delightful whimsy of Jesse Jane as Jules and the startling presence of Janine Lindemulder as Serena.

Practical Magic

You know how some folks always seem to suffer a degree of humiliation whenever a choice is involved? No, I don’t mean things like picking tomatoes at the grocery store. Usually it has to do with doing stuff. You get picked for the rude stuff but passed over for the cool stuff. Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock) know that feeling only too well and is bummed that it happens to her. All she wants is to be chosen for the phone tree. Her sister Gillian (Nicole Kidman) wants to help but Sally know that getting picked isn’t going to happen. About the only thing worse is that she turns up naked at school without her homework.

Panic Room

How safe is safe? Newly divorced Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) and her daughter Sarah (Kristen Stewart) think that having a panic room in her 24,000 sq. ft., 6 bedroom new house is a bonus.

But it becomes a prison when the baddies flash her notes that what interests them is in the room and they’re not leaving until they get it.
